THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NO WARRANTY IS MADE REGARDING THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY, COMPLETENESS, LEGALITY, RELIABILITY, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICES. DEMAND JUSTICE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES, THEIR SERVERS, OR E-MAIL OR OTHER COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM THE SERVICES ARE FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL EFFECTS.  

  • LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. 

NEITHER DEMAND JUSTICE, ITS AFFILIATES, ANY THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIER, NOR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY OR INDEMNITY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY OF THEIR CONTENT.

FURTHER AND FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEMAND JUSTICE AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY OF THEIR CONTENT.  YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA OR DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR OTHER EQUIPMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS OF USE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW AND IN THE EVENT OF ANY FINDING OF LIABILITY IN SPITE OF THE FOREGOING, DEMAND JUSTICE’S AND ITS LICENSOR’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US, IF APPLICABLE, IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50).

IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT THAT IT CAN BE LIMITED UNDER SUCH STATE LAW.

  • INDEMNIFICATION.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Demand Justice, its owners, officers, representatives, directors, employees, consultants, third-party suppliers, licensors, and agents from any and all losses, expenses, claims, liabilities, damages, and costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to (a) your use of the Services; (b) your use of any material, information, or data downloaded or otherwise obtained from the Services; (c) your violation of these Terms of Use; or (d) your infringement of any intellectual property or other right of Demand Justice or any other person or entity.

  • GOVERNING LAW.

All matters arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Washington, D.C. without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of Washington, D.C. or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Washington, D.C.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act do not apply. Demand Justice’s failure to enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. 

  • DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

THIS SECTION REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. IT ALSO INCLUDES A JURY TRIAL WAIVER, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND SPECIAL PROCEDURES THAT APPLY IF MULTIPLE SIMILAR CLAIMS ARE ASSERTED. 

Except as expressly provided in this Section, you and Demand Justice agree that all disputes subject to this Arbitration Agreement will be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration rather than in court. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Demand Justice  waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action.

  1. Disputes Covered. 

This section applies to any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Demand Justice, its affiliates, and their respective officers, employees, agents, service providers, and other intended third-party beneficiaries (collectively, “Related Parties”), arising out of or relating to:

  • these Terms;
  • your access to or use of the Services;
  • any services offered through the Services;
  • donations, contributions, payments, marketing, privacy, data security, advertising, consumer protection, contract, tort, statutory, or common-law claims; or
  • the interpretation, enforceability, validity, formation, or scope of this Arbitration Agreement, except as expressly stated below.

This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to claims that applicable law prohibits from being arbitrated. If you use the Services on behalf of another person, including a minor, dependent, or person for whom you are a caregiver, guardian, agent, or personal representative, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on behalf of both yourself and that individual to the fullest extent permitted by law.

  1. Notice of Dispute Required

Before initiating arbitration or filing any court action, the party asserting a dispute must provide a written Notice of Dispute. Notices to you may be sent to the contact information associated with your use of the Services. Notices to us must be sent to: 

Demand Justice

611 Pennsylvania Ave SE, #192, Washington DC 20003

[email protected]

 

The Notice of Dispute must include the claimant’s name, contact information, a description of the dispute and supporting facts specific to the claimant, the relief requested, and the claimant’s personal signature. If a claim is asserted on behalf of another person, the Notice of Dispute must also identify that person and the claimant’s authority to act on that person’s behalf.

  1. Attempted Informal Resolution Required

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after receipt of a complete Notice of Dispute. Any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled during that period. The parties may voluntarily agree to mediate the dispute by telephone or videoconference, but neither party is required to participate in mediation unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Completion of this informal dispute-resolution process is a contractual condition precedent to arbitration or litigation. A court or arbitrator may stay or dismiss any proceeding filed before this process has been completed.

  1. Binding Individual Arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved through the informal process, either party may initiate binding individual arbitration.

Consumer disputes involving individual users of the Services for personal, family, household, or similar non-commercial purposes will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.

Commercial disputes involving business users, providers, vendors, contractors, or other commercial parties will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration will be conducted remotely by video, telephone, or written submissions unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary or the parties agree otherwise. The arbitration will be heard by one neutral arbitrator.

  1. Arbitrator’s Authority. 

Subject to these Terms and applicable law, the arbitrator may award any individual remedy that would be available in court, including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief to an individual claimant.

The arbitrator may permit only the discovery reasonably necessary to ensure a fair resolution of the dispute.

Except as expressly provided below, the arbitrator has the exclusive authority to decide issues relating to the interpretation, enforceability, validity, formation, and scope of this Arbitration Agreement. A court, and not the arbitrator, will to the extent required by applicable law decide issues concerning the enforceability or applicability of the class action waiver, consolidated proceeding waiver, public injunctive relief, or the mass arbitration provisions.

  1. Class, Collective, Representative, and Consolidated Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Demand Justice agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, claimant, class representative, class member, private attorney general, or representative in any class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, or representative proceeding, except as required by nonwaivable law or as provided in the mass-arbitration procedures below. This waiver applies in both arbitration and court proceedings.

  1. Mass Arbitration

If 10 or more substantially similar Notices of Dispute or arbitration demands are submitted by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same or coordinated counsel, law firms, organizations, or claimants, the claims will be treated as a “Mass Arbitration.”

Each claimant must first complete the Notice of Dispute process described above. Each Notice of Dispute and arbitration demand must be personally signed by the claimant and include claimant-specific facts supporting the claim, identify the relief sought, and provide information sufficient to identify the claimant’s relationship with Demand Justice. Counsel coordinating multiple claims must certify that each claimant authorized the filing, reviewed and personally signed the Notice of Dispute or arbitration demand, completed the required informal dispute-resolution process, and has a good-faith basis for the claim. No arbitration demand may be filed until the informal-resolution process is complete. If an arbitration demand is filed prematurely, the administrator or a court may dismiss, stay, administratively close, or hold the matter in abeyance without requiring payment of filing, administrative, case-management, or arbitrator fees until the contractual prerequisites have been satisfied.

For any Mass Arbitration, the administrator’s applicable mass-arbitration rules and fee schedule will apply. If those rules do not provide a complete process, claims will proceed in staged batches as determined by the administrator, a process arbitrator, or a court. Fees will be assessed only for the batch or stage then being administered, unless applicable rules or law require otherwise. No merits arbitrator shall be appointed for claims outside an active batch. Filing fees, administrative fees, case-management fees, and arbitrator compensation shall be assessed only for the batch then being administered unless applicable law or the administrator’s rules require otherwise. Claims that are not part of the active batch will remain in abeyance, and all applicable limitations periods will be tolled.

The outcome of any batched, bellwether, or staged proceeding may be used solely for settlement purposes and shall not have preclusive effect or bind any other claimant or Demand Justice absent a written agreement by the affected parties. A court or process arbitrator may enforce this section. Nothing in this section prevents any claimant from pursuing an otherwise proper individual claim.

  1. Small Claims and Provisional Court Relief

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement limits either party’s right to bring an eligible claim in small claims court where permitted by applicable law. 

Either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or provisional injunctive relief from a court solely to preserve the status quo, protect confidential information, prevent unauthorized access, protect intellectual property, respond to security incidents, or prevent imminent and irreparable harm pending completion of arbitration.

Seeking such provisional relief does not waive the right to arbitrate.

If a court determines that a particular claim cannot be arbitrated, only that claim will proceed in court. Any arbitrable claims will remain subject to arbitration, and any court proceeding may be stayed pending completion of arbitration to the extent permitted by law.

  1. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees

Arbitration fees and costs will be allocated according to the applicable arbitration rules and governing law. For consumer disputes, Demand Justice will pay arbitration fees to the extent required by applicable AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules or applicable law. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and litigation costs unless applicable law or the arbitration rules require otherwise, or the arbitrator awards fees based on a determination that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted in bad faith.

  1. Right to Opt-Out

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Opt-out notices must be sent to: [email protected]. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, the email address associated with your use of the Services, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms, including the requirement to complete the informal dispute-resolution process before initiating litigation. 

  1. Severability and Survival

If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is held unenforceable, that provision shall be severed only to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall remain enforceable. However, if the class, collective, representative, consolidated-action, or private attorney general waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim and cannot be severed while preserving individual arbitration, that claim shall proceed in court and not in class arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of these Terms, cessation of your use of the Services, and the end of your relationship with Demand Justice.

  • How We Share Personal Information

 

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed various categories of personal information for business, operational, advocacy, fundraising, communications, analytics, advertising, security, and administrative purposes. Specifically, we disclose information that individuals voluntarily provide to us when registering for or participating in events, campaigns, petitions, advocacy initiatives, volunteer opportunities, fundraising activities, or otherwise communicating with us, and have made those disclosures to service providers that support event administration, communications delivery, fundraising and payment processing, analytics, advertising, advocacy and communications activities, recruiting and applicant-management activities, data hosting, social media engagement, and technical operations, for the purpose of administering events, communicating with participants, responding to inquiries, and providing our Services and related activities. We may also disclose personal information between Demand Justice and Demand Justice PAC to support their respective advocacy, fundraising, organizing, political, communications, and related activities, consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

 

Demand Justice also manages registration, data, and communications for participants in various campaigns, as may be disclosed from time to time at the point of collection. When Demand Justice does this, we will share data collected from your form submissions made in connection with the campaign (which may include your name, contact information, payment card information in the event of donations, internet or other electronic network activity information obtained in connection with your interactions with the campaign, and other categories of personal information as are identified above) with these partner organizations, as we deem necessary and appropriate to support the relevant campaign, subject to such data-sharing agreements as Demand Justice may enter with these partner organizations. You may receive communications, including via e-mail or text/SMS message, from Demand Justice or the other partner organizations we share your information with when you sign up for a campaign.

 

We also disclose online activity information collected through cookies and similar technologies to analytics providers, advertising partners, social media platforms, and other third parties to help us understand how our website is used and to improve its performance, functionality, campaign effectiveness, advertising efforts, and security. We also use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support targeted advertising, audience measurement, campaign effectiveness, and related outreach activities. We have established a presence on various social networking services, through which we provide information about Demand Justice’s services and operations, and through which you may interact with us directly (such as through commenting on our posts or interacting with our profile) or indirectly (such as by mentioning us or interacting with posts from other users that mention us). Accordingly, if you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking services, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those third-party services, and we may also share information about you (such as your interactions with us on the social networking services) with those services through our use of those services. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may disclose certain personal information and online activity information to analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms in a manner that may constitute “sharing” for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

 

If we sell all or part of Demand Justice, or are otherwise involved in a merger, acquisition, business transfer, or bankruptcy, we may transfer your information, including personal information, to one or more third parties as part of that transaction. We may further disclose personal information as required to comply with applicable law or respond to lawful requests from public authorities, if we determine that it is required by an applicable law or regulation, or if we determine that it is necessary to share such information with others to protect our Services, operations, or our legal rights.

 

In addition to the disclosures described above, we may disclose personal information for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection or with your consent, where required by applicable law.

  • Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a request to Demand Justice by:

We may not be able to fulfill your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We may request additional information from you when appropriate and, in certain circumstances to verify your identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you. We reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify your identity if we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent. If you do not agree with how we responded to your request, you may ask us to review our decision by contacting us through the above noted methods.

Opt-out signals. We recognize and process opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by applicable law. At this time, we do not respond to other automated browser- or device-based opt-out preference signals (including “Do Not Track” signals).

Response timing and format. Where required, we endeavor to respond to requests within 30 days of receipt or within such other time as may be required by law. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Where we are required to or opt to provide a written response, we will deliver the written response by mail or electronically, as you direct us. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot or will not comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

If you wish to appeal a decision we have made regarding your consumer request, you can submit your appeal by using the contact information provided above.

  • Cookies and Other Technologies 

As is standard practice on most websites, Demand Justice and third parties may use a variety of technologies that collect information automatically, including cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, tags, SDKs, and similar tracking technologies. Those technologies may collect, among other things, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), device identifiers, operating system information, browsing activity, referral information, interactions with our Services and communications, and approximate geolocation information. We may use this information to analyze trends and traffic patterns, to administer the Services, to track users’ movements around the Services and to gather demographic information about our user base. We may also use cookies and other technologies to (i) help us understand which parts of our Services are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there; (ii) to understand how visitors engage with our Services, communications, campaigns, advertisements, and fundraising efforts; and (iii) to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us. We and certain third parties may also use these technologies for analytics, advertising, audience measurement, campaign effectiveness, and cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. You can choose to limit or restrict the use of cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored on your device. Please note that some parts of our website may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your browser when you access a website, including the Services. We and the third parties described below may use session cookies. A session cookie is available only during the course of the browser session; the information is not sent to or stored on a computer’s hard drive. Closing the browser or logging off will invalidate the session cookie. You also have the choice to enable a persistent cookie, which will remember your preferences and other information each time you visit the website.

 

Web Beacons. “Web beacons” or “tracking pixels” are electronic images, tags, or scripts that allow a website to access cookies, and, among other things, help track general usage patterns of visitors to a website. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information, such as cookies, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. We and the third parties described below may use web beacons to compile information regarding your use of the Services.

Email Tracking. In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on or through our Services. When users click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

  • Data Collection from Children

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect, use, process, or otherwise disclose information about children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have unintentionally received personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will delete that information in accordance with applicable law. If you want to notify us of our possible receipt of information by children under the age of 18, please contact us at: [email protected]; (202) 240-8993.

  • How We Protect Your Personal Information

Demand Justice takes precautions—including administrative, technical, and physical measures—designed to safeguard your personal information. Please keep in mind that the transmission of information over the internet and on mobile platforms is not always secure, which means we cannot and do not guarantee the security or confidentiality of any personal information you provide to us. It is always possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications despite our efforts to prevent this. Given this reality, your use of our Services, and your decision to provide personal information to us, is at your own risk.

  • Retention of Information

Demand Justice will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is processed, including to provide our Services and activities, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and policies, and protect our legal rights. We will retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. The criteria used to determine our retention periods may include the nature of our relationship with you, the sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which the information was collected, reasonably anticipated future interactions with you, and applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, reporting, or operational requirements.

  • Third-Party Privacy Policies

Please be aware that other websites, including social networking services, may collect personally identifiable information about you, including if you access those other websites through links Demand Justice provides. The information practices of those third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, but instead by the privacy policies of the third-party websites, which will govern the use of your information by the applicable third party operator. We assume no responsibility or liability for the actions of third parties with respect to their use of your information. Accordingly, make sure you are aware of, and comfortable with, the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit, even when linked from our Services. 

  • Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect material changes in the manner in which we deal with personal information, including changes in applicable law, technology, our data practices, or our organizational or operational activities. We encourage you to review it regularly. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective upon posting the updated Privacy Policy to our Services, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
