These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Mackenzie Limited, or its affiliates and/or partners, for products, services or otherwise. If you are using the Services on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms of Use on such entity’s behalf.

Mackenzie Limited may, in its sole discretion and on a prospective basis, change these Terms of Use from time to time on a prospective basis, and modify, add, or discontinue any aspect, content or feature of the Services. Your continued use or access of the Services following the posting of any changes to these Terms of Use constitutes your acceptance of such changes. To the extent that an arbitrator or court of applicable jurisdiction determines that applying any changes to these Terms of Use would render this an illusory or unenforceable contract, such changes shall be applicable on a prospective basis only, with respect to events or circumstances occurring after the date of such changes, to the extent necessary to avoid these Terms of Use being deemed illusory or unenforceable. For material changes, we will provide notice via the Services and/or email where available. Material changes will take effect prospectively. If you do not wish to agree to the updated Terms of Use, you must stop using the Services before the effective date.

YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS SECTION 18 WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 18.9.
18.1 Scope of This Section.
You and Mackenzie Limited agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, our Mobile Terms and Conditions, your use of or interaction with the Services, any purchase or other transaction or relationship with Mackenzie Limited, any marketing communication you receive from or on behalf of Mackenzie Limited, or any data or information you provide to Mackenzie Limited or that Mackenzie Limited or its service providers collect (collectively, “MACKENZIE LIMITED Transactions or Relationships”) will be resolved as set forth in this Section 18.
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It expressly includes, without limitation, claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq. and its implementing regulations; the CAN-SPAM Act; any state telephone solicitation, telemarketing, do-not-call, automatic dialing, caller identification, wiretapping, session recording, or consumer protection statute, including the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act, Fla. Stat. § 501.059, and the Maryland Consumer Protection Act; and any claim relating to cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, or other tracking or analytics technologies used on the Services, whether brought under statute, regulation, common law, or any equitable theory. It applies to claims that arose before, on, or after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The rights and obligations of Mackenzie Limited under this Section 18 extend to and may be enforced by its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, assigns, and the service providers that send communications or provide website functionality on its behalf, whether or not any of them is named as a co-defendant or named individually in a claim that would otherwise be subject to this Section 18 if brought against Mackenzie Limited.
18.2 Informal Resolution Is Required First.
Before commencing an arbitration or any other proceeding, the party raising a dispute must first give the other party a written Notice of Dispute and the parties must attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days.
A Notice of Dispute sent by you must be individual to you and must be personally signed by you, and not signed solely by counsel or submitted as part of a batch or form filing on behalf of multiple consumers. It must state your full name, the mailing address, email address, and mobile telephone number associated with the dispute, a description of the specific facts giving rise to your claim, the specific relief you are seeking, and a good faith calculation of the amount in controversy. Send your Notice of Dispute by mail to Legal Department, Mackenzie Limited, 10711 Red Run Blvd, Ste 115, Owings Mills, MD 21117 and by email to info@mackenzieltd.com. Mackenzie Limited will send any Notice of Dispute to the most recent mailing address or email address it has for you.
If either party requests it, both parties must participate in at least one individualized settlement conference by telephone or videoconference during the sixty (60) day period. You must personally participate in that conference, and counsel for either party may also participate.
All applicable statutes of limitations, filing deadlines, and administrative fee deadlines are tolled while the parties engage in this informal resolution process. Compliance with this Section 18.2 is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration. Either party may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce this requirement, and an arbitrator may not be appointed and no arbitration filing fee is payable until this requirement has been satisfied.
18.3 Agreement to Arbitrate; Governing Rules.
If the informal resolution process does not resolve the dispute, the dispute will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, where applicable by their terms, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, together with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, each as in effect at the time the Arbitration is commenced (collectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com and are incorporated by reference.
You and Mackenzie Limited agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), governs this Section 18, including all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. If JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to administer the Arbitration consistent with this Section 18, the parties will select an alternative administrator by agreement or, failing agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction will appoint one under 9 U.S.C. § 5.
18.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver.
YOU AND MACKENZIE LIMITED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE BATCHING PROCESS IN SECTION 18.6. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF ON THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. YOU AND MACKENZIE LIMITED EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
18.5 The Class Action Waiver Is Not Severable.
The class, collective, and representative action waiver in Section 18.4 is a material and non-severable part of this Section 18. If the waiver in Section 18.4 is found to be unenforceable or invalid as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief, and only that claim or request for relief, must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Baltimore County, Maryland, and this Section 18 will not apply to it. All other claims and requests for relief remain subject to Arbitration under this Section 18. Under no circumstances will a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding be arbitrated.
18.6 Coordinated and Mass Filings.
If twenty-five (25) or more demands for Arbitration that raise substantially similar claims are filed against Mackenzie Limited within a period of ninety (90) days by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organization, the parties agree that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines apply and that the demands will be administered as follows. Claims are “substantially similar” if they arise out of or relate to the same or similar facts or conduct, raise similar legal issues or causes of action, and seek similar relief.
(a) JAMS will group the demands into batches of no more than fifty (50) claimants each. Each batch is treated as a single consolidated Arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of filing and administrative fees per side, one procedural calendar, one hearing if any, and one final award.
(b) The first two batches will proceed as bellwether proceedings, with each side selecting an equal number of claimants for inclusion. All remaining demands are stayed and no filing or administrative fees are payable on them while the bellwether proceedings are pending. All applicable statutes of limitations and filing deadlines are tolled for the stayed demands during the stay.
(c) After the bellwether awards are issued, the parties and their counsel will participate in a global mediation of the remaining demands before a mediator selected through JAMS, with the mediator’s fees shared equally. Any demand not resolved in that mediation will then be administered in batches as described above.
(d) If the parties disagree about whether this Section 18.6 applies, JAMS will appoint a single process arbitrator to decide that question, whose fees will be shared equally, and who may prescribe procedures reasonably necessary to resolve the disagreement. This Section 18.6 does not authorize a class, collective, or representative arbitration.
18.7 Arbitration Procedure.
(a) The Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected under the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement of the parties (the “Arbitrator”).
(b) At your election, the Arbitration will be seated in the county where you reside or in Baltimore County, Maryland. If the amount in controversy does not exceed $25,000, the Arbitration will be conducted solely on the documents the parties submit, unless a party requests a hearing or the Arbitrator determines a hearing is necessary. Any hearing may be conducted by telephone or videoconference.
(c) The Arbitrator will apply the internal laws of the State of Maryland consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent federal law prevails, the law of the United States, in each case without regard to conflict of law principles. The Arbitrator will entertain any dispositive motion consistent with the Maryland Rules or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as applicable, will honor claims of privilege recognized at law, and may award any form of individual legal or equitable relief that a court could award on an individual claim, including statutory damages and attorneys’ fees where authorized by statute.
(d) The Arbitrator will issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which it is based. The award is final and binding, subject to the limited review available under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.8 Fees and Costs.
Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and the costs of its own experts and witnesses, except where a statute or the Applicable Rules provide otherwise. Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated in accordance with the Applicable Rules, including the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards where they apply. Where those standards apply and you have complied with Section 18.2, your share of the filing fee will not exceed the amount you would pay to file the claim in a court of competent jurisdiction, and Mackenzie Limited will pay the remainder of the JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees. If the Arbitrator determines that a claim or a defense was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose, the Arbitrator may reallocate fees and costs to the extent permitted by the FAA and the Applicable Rules. Any written settlement offer that a party rejects may be considered by the Arbitrator in allocating costs to the extent permitted by law.
18.9 Your Right to Opt Out.
You may opt out of this Section 18 by sending written notice within thirty (30) days after the date you first accept these Terms of Use, or, if you accepted these Terms of Use before the effective date of this Section 18, within thirty (30) days after that effective date. Your notice must be personally signed by you, must state your full name, mailing address, and the email address and mobile telephone number associated with your account or subscription, and must state clearly that you are opting out of the arbitration provision. Send it by mail to Legal Department, Mackenzie Limited, 10711 Red Run Blvd, Ste 115, Owings Mills, MD 21117 or by email to info@mackenzieltd.com. An opt-out notice submitted on behalf of multiple consumers, or submitted in a form or batch manner, is not valid. Opting out of this Section 18 does not affect any other provision of these Terms of Use, and it will not affect your ability to use the Services or to participate in our email or text message programs.
18.10 Exceptions.
(a) Either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, so long as the action remains in that court and is brought and maintained on an individual basis.
(b) Either party may seek provisional or injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, and either party may bring a court action for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights.
(c) Nothing in this Section 18 prevents you from reporting a concern to a federal, state, or local agency, and such an agency may, if the law allows, seek relief against Mackenzie Limited on your behalf.
(d) If a claim seeks public injunctive relief and applicable law prohibits the waiver or arbitration of that claim, then that request for public injunctive relief alone is severed from the Arbitration and stayed pending the conclusion of the Arbitration of all other claims, and it will then be brought only in a court of competent jurisdiction in Baltimore County, Maryland.
18.11 Delegation.
The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, scope, or formation of these Terms of Use and of this Section 18, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. The following questions are decided exclusively by a court and not by the Arbitrator: the enforceability of the class action waiver in Section 18.4, the application of Section 18.5, and whether the condition precedent in Section 18.2 has been satisfied.
18.12 Changes to This Section; Survival.
Mackenzie Limited may modify this Section 18, but any modification becomes effective only thirty (30) days after notice of the modification is given and applies only prospectively, to claims arising from MACKENZIE LIMITED Transactions or Relationships occurring after the effective date of the notice. If you do not agree to a modification, you may opt out of the modified Section 18 within thirty (30) days after notice is given, using the process in Section 18.9. This Section 18 survives the termination of these Terms of Use, the closing of your account, and your cancellation of any email or text message subscription.

Except as provided in Section 18 (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver), any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or that cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Baltimore County, Maryland, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
