PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.
By accessing ScaleClub.com, using any of our services, and/or accessing and using any other websites where these Terms and Conditions reside (collectively referred to as the "Site"), or any of the Site's Content (as defined below), you agree to the following Terms and Conditions, including binding arbitration (described in Section 2 below), the Scale Club Privacy Policy, E-Sign Consent, and any operating rules, policies, and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site (collectively, the "Terms"). THESE TERMS GOVERN THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN US AND YOU AND LIMIT OUR LIABILITY TO YOU.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or otherwise use the Site or the Content. The Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Scale Club, LLC (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of the Site. References to "Site operator," "we," "us," and "our" include our affiliates, agents, successors, and assigns. The Site is available only to residents of the United States, age 18 or older. By accessing and using the Site, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the User (as defined below) to these Terms and that your use of the Site does not violate any applicable law.
1. Our Services
The Site acts as a portal to facilitate connections between insurance agents, insurance companies, lead aggregators, and other similar parties (each a "Provider") with potential consumers who use the Site to receive insurance or other authorized quotations from a Provider (each, a "Prospect"). All Prospects and potential Prospects that use the Site are collectively referred to as the Site's "Users" (hereafter referred to as "you" or "your"). With a Prospect's authorization, we may collect certain information (a "Lead") about a Prospect and share the Lead with a Provider. We are not responsible for the legality, safety, or quality of the products offered for sale by a Provider, the accuracy of the representations regarding the products, the ability of Providers to sell the products, or the ability of Prospects to pay for the products. We operate as an independent contractor and do not issue insurance contracts or bind coverage. We do not endorse or recommend any Providers or insurance policies. We do not provide insurance, tax, financial, legal, or any other advice. If you desire personal advice or specific policy recommendations, please consult a qualified professional.
2. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. You agree to attempt in good faith to settle any dispute or claim arising between us, which relates to these Terms, your use of the Site, or the Content, including any dispute between you and a Provider (each, a "Claim"), through consultations initiated upon written notice (the "Consultation Notice"). If the Claim cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days, any party may initiate arbitration. Notices to us under this Section should be sent to
[email protected]. You agree to arbitrate all Claims that cannot be resolved amicably. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes claims arising out of various legal theories. By entering into this arbitration agreement, you waive your rights to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Arbitration will be governed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules, administered by one arbitrator with relevant industry experience. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to the individual party seeking relief.
