    8. LOAN REQUEST SERVICES

    ccino provides lead generation services to connect users with certain lenders ("Lenders"). ccino is not a lender or creditor, and we do not make any loan or credit decisions. We cannot and do not endorse or recommend the products or services of any particular Lender. You acknowledge and agree that ccino is not an agent of either you or any Lender, and ccino is not a party to any contract between you and any Lender. You should rely on your own judgment in deciding which available loan product, terms or Lender best suits your needs and financial means. The Lender is solely responsible for its services to you, and you agree that ccino shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use of such services.

    When you submit a request for information through the Services for information related to lending products, you authorize us to transmit your information to third parties for the purpose of obtaining additional information about or related to you, including a Social Security Number. We may use the information you provide and that we obtain from third parties to submit to credit reporting agencies to conduct a soft credit pull inquiry. You further authorize us to disclose such information obtained from or derived from third parties to Lenders or other third parties for purposes of fulfilling your request for information, or as otherwise provided in our Privacy Policy. You are also indicating that you are consenting, acknowledging and agreeing to receive important notices, disclosures and other communications from ccino or applicable Lenders ("ccino Notices") in electronic form (either by email or via the Internet) as provided for herein. You understand that you will need, and have access to an email address, Internet access and PDF software to review the ccino Notices. You have the right to receive any document in non-electronic form and to withdraw your consent to electronic delivery at any time by contacting ccino Customer Service at [email protected].

    By submitting a request for information related to lending products, you are further authorizing us to provide information that you provided, along with other information ccino has or may receive from third parties, to Lenders or any other third parties as necessary to fulfill your request. You also authorize ccino and its Lenders, along with any additional third parties necessary to fulfill your request, to request from one or multiple credit bureaus /reporting agencies, your credit bureau report including any ancillary credit scores or ratings. You understand that ccino has no control and is not responsible for how Lenders use, retain, or disclose your information. We encourage you to contact each Lender to obtain information regarding their privacy practices. To the extent you have any questions or requests related to a Lender's privacy practices or communications practices, you understand that you must contact the Lender directly.

    The data and other information you may provide ccino is not, and is not treated as, an application for any loan or product from ccino, Lenders, or any other party. ccino cannot and does not guarantee acceptance by any Lender or any other party. Individual Lenders establish and maintain their own approval standards. Likewise, ccino does not guarantee that the loan terms or rates offered and made available by Lenders are the best terms or lowest rates available in the market. A Lender's conditional loan offer may be subject to market conditions, approval and qualification. The rates and fees actually provided by Lenders may be higher or lower depending on your complete credit profile, collateral/property considerations (if applicable) including but not limited to location, equity and value and income/asset consideration including but not limited to loan to value and debt to income ratios. Unless expressly stated in writing, nothing contained herein shall constitute an offer or promise for a loan commitment or interest rate lock-in agreement. Lenders may not offer all products as well as not offer products in all states. You might not be matched with the Lender making any specific offer. To help the government fight identity theft, the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, ccino and/or its Lenders may obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account with them. They may ask for your name, Social Security Number, address, telephone number, date of birth and other important information that will allow them to verify your identity. ccino has no control of any Lender's identity verification processes.

    As set forth in our Privacy Policy, ccino may also receive information from Lenders regarding the status of your application including, but not limited to, the amount or disposition of your loan. ccino's privacy practices regarding this information is set forth in our Privacy Policy.

    By providing us with your telephone number, you are providing your express consent for ccino or its Lenders to contact you by telephone at the numbers (whether landline or cellular) you have provided so they may provide you with information in response to your requests, and you hereby consent to any such calls even if your phone number(s) are on any Do Not Call list, or by email at the email address you provided or at another address that may be associated with you that we receive from Lenders.

    If you were referred to ccino by a contractor or other service provider, you acknowledge that you are aware that ccino may compensate your contractor or service provider for such referral. Additionally, you agree that ccino may share any information that either (1) you provide to ccino or (2) ccino's lending partners have provided to ccino about you with the source of your referral. This information may include but is not limited to, (a) the fact that you have contacted ccino's lending partners to request information about loan products that they may offer; (b) whether any of ccino's lending partners have provided potential rates to you for unsecured loan products; (c) whether you have navigated from ccino to the website of a lending partner; and (d) whether you have obtained a loan from one of ccino's lending partners.

This release includes the criminal acts of others.

    16. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

    a. You and ccino agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section 16 is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

    b. Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to arbitration. If you have any dispute with us, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact us at [email protected], and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with ccino, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

    c. Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, (except as provided in section 16(g) below) subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms' formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other, and/or your use of ccino shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

    d. Arbitrator's Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    e. Filing a Demand. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) Write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco California 94111; and (c) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us

    To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, ccino will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, ccino will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

    The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in San Francisco County, California, United States, and you and ccino agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, California, in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

    f. Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party's respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND ccino AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

    g. Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

    h. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to us at [email protected] with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the Effective Date of these Terms; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, ccino also will not be bound by them.

    i. Changes to This Section. ccino will provide thirty (30) days' notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Services. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you by email. Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.

    j. This Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your use of the Services.

  • No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be binding unless in writing, no waiver of any provisions of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and the failure of ccino to exercise or enforce any right or remedy in these Terms does not waive that right or remedy. If an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
