  1. Overview.

Your Service Plan provides only for the ability to use the Relay device within the United States. Notwithstanding any term or condition of these Terms of Service to the contrary, Relay and any underlying mobile network operator cannot guarantee that the Services will always function without disruptions, delay or other imperfections. The specific network coverage Users will receive will depend on Your Equipment, including, without limitation, the WiFi routers your Relay device can access, and/or radio transmissions the Relay can pick up. By using the Services, You agree to keep Your Equipment up to date, including by downloading the latest upgrades and updates of the Relay Companion App and other software. Failure to do so can result in temporary or permanent disconnection of the Services, including termination. Coverage is not available everywhere and service speeds are not guaranteed. Actual speeds will vary. Gaps in coverage exist within Relay’s estimated coverage areas for radio transmissions, when applicable, that, along with other factors both within and beyond the control of Relay (network problems, network or internet congestion, software, signal strength, the Relay device, structures, buildings, weather, geography, topography, server speeds of the websites accessed, etc.), may result in dropped and blocked connections, slower service speeds, or otherwise impact the quality of service. Services that rely on location information, such GPS navigation, depend on a Relay device’s ability to acquire satellite signals (which typically are not available indoors) and network coverage. While a Relay device is receiving a software update, a User may be unable to use a Relay device in any manner until the software update is complete.

RELAY MAY BE USED ONLY FOR LAWFUL, PROPER AND APPROPRIATE PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE USED IN ANY WAY THAT IS ILLEGAL, IMPROPER OR INAPPROPRIATE, OR OTHERWISE FAILS TO CONFORM TO THE RELAY ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY POSTED AT relaypro.com/legal/relay-acceptable-use-policy/, WHICH IS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDES A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT DISALLOWS CLASS ACTIONS, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, AND A JURY WAIVER PROVISION.

The Services are subject to the Policies. You agree to adhere to all of Relay’s Policies when using the Services. Relay’s Policies are subject to change at any time with or without notice.

(e) If any Relay Device is lost or stolen, You will contact Relay immediately. You acknowledge and agree that, if any Relay Device is lost or stolen, You will be responsible for Usage before You notify Relay of any alleged loss or theft.

If possible, Users should remove or otherwise safeguard any sensitive or personal information. By submitting any Relay device to Relay, You agree that Relay’s employees, contractors or vendors may access all of the information on such Relay device.

(i) When the location setting is turned “on” by You, the network operated by Relay will attempt to determine the location of the Relay device(s). Network coverage or environmental factors (such as structures, buildings, weather, geography, landscape, and topography) can significantly impact the ability to access any Relay device’s location.

  3. Dispute Resolution Process; Governing Law. We think Relay and You will get along extraordinarily well. That being said:

(a) It is the mutual desire of the parties to promptly and fully resolve any dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Service in good faith, confidentially, and informally with minimal transaction costs; no public statement may be made by any party regarding any such dispute. If either party determines that the dispute cannot be resolved informally, then such party will initiate an escalation process by giving written notice (“Escalation Notice”) to the other party. You and an authorized representative of Relay will meet in person or by conference call, together with any persons assisting them, within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Escalation Notice. All negotiations conducted by You and an authorized representative of Relay are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any state rules of evidence. You and an authorized representative of Relay will conduct such additional meetings as they deem necessary to exchange relevant information, will appoint staff to engage in resolution of any disputed facts, and will attempt to resolve the dispute. Should You and an authorized representative of Relay be unable to resolve the dispute within such fifteen (15) days, or within such additional time as the parties may otherwise agree to in writing, either party may demand mediation, whereupon the parties will, in good faith, mediate the dispute no later than thirty (30) days after such demand through the services of a mutually selected mediator, the cost of whom will be borne equally by the parties, at a date and location selected by the mediator after consultation with the parties. IF THE DISPUTE IS NOT RESOLVED AFTER APPLYING THE ESCALATION PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AND AGREE TO SUBMIT ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS AND MATTERS OF DIFFERENCE TO ARBITRATION ACCORDING TO THE COMMERCIAL RULES AND PRACTICES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”). Arbitration hereunder will occur within sixty (60) days of the date of submission before a single neutral arbitrator having significant experience in the subject matter of these Terms of Service and who will be selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration proceedings will take place in Wake County, North Carolina. Discovery will be permitted, including the use of interrogatories, requests for admission and production of documents and depositions. If the amount claimed to be in dispute is less than $500,000, all applicable expedited procedures of the AAA will apply. The arbitrator’s fees and costs of the arbitration will be borne by the party against whom the award is rendered, except that if the arbitrator issues a split decision, granting partial relief to both parties, the arbitrator will equitably allocate the arbitrator’s fees and other costs. Each party will pay its attorney’s fees related to any dispute related to these Terms of Service. The arbitration award will be final and binding on both parties of these Terms of Service, will not be subject to any appeal and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.
