General
- Changes. These Terms are subject to revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we will notify you by email or prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site. You are responsible for providing us with your most current email address. Continued use of our Site following notice of the changes indicates your acknowledgement of the changes and agreement to be bound by them.
- Dispute Resolution. Please read this Section 7.2 carefully. It is part of your contract with Unified and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief ) involving these Terms or Unified that can’t be informally resolved will be subject to binding arbitration on an individual basis. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings are held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Unified and any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services provided under these Terms.
- Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the claim or dispute and the requested relief. A Notice to the Unified should be sent to [email protected] and [email protected]. After Notice is received, you and the Unified may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Unified don’t resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days of receiving the Notice, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. Any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS; an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, are subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes are subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS isn’t available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Each party pays its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and must pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. You may have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND UNIFIED WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Unified are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or requests for relief will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CAN’T BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of this section’s limitations as to a dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts in the State of Texas. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief are arbitrated.
- 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [email protected], within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Unified username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Unified Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t affect any other arbitration agreements you may currently have or may enter with us.
- Severability. Except as provided in Section 7.2(f) (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts are of no force and effect and are severed. The remainder of the Arbitration Agreement continues in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Unified.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Unified makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing Unified at the following address: [email protected].
- Export. The Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Unified or any products utilizing such data in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
- Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Unified use electronic means, whether you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Unified posts notices on the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Unified in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Unified provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in hardcopy.
- Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms is a waiver of that right or provision. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified, so it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship with Unified is that of an independent contractor, and there is no attorney-client relationship until a client agreement is signed. These Terms and your rights and obligations herein may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Unified’s permission. Unified may freely assign these Terms. These Terms are binding upon assignees.

All trademarks, logos, and service marks (“Marks”) displayed on the Site are our property or the property of other third parties. You may not use these Marks without our permission or the permission of the third party which may own the Marks.
