AHS APP/WEBSITE TERMS & CONDITIONS

PLEASE READ THESE AHS APP/WEBSITE TERMS & CONDITIONS. BY CLICKING THE “AGREE” BUTTON/BOX (OR ANY OTHER MECHANISM PROVIDED), OR BY ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

PLEASE NOTE: DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US ARE, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS-ACTION AND JURY-TRIAL RIGHTS, AS DETAILED IN SECTION 13.4 BELOW (“MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER”).

These terms govern your use of the American Home Shield® mobile application (the “App”), the websites available at k4m8.yingla.net and myaccount.yingla.net (the “Sites”), and related services, information and communications (together with the Sites and the App, the “Services”).

What rules apply to video chat services?

The App provides you access to certain video chat services (“Video Services”) to communicate with AHS video experts (“Video Experts”) who may provide assistance for your selected issue. Your use of the Video Services is subject to the following terms:

Cameras. Your Video Expert has the option to (i) enable (A) the Video Expert-facing cameras and (B) your self-facing and/or world-facing cameras (in the case of (B), subject to your approval), so you may see the Video Expert and the Video Expert may see you via video and (ii) initiate recording the video of that chat session (“Video Recording”). By using our Video Services, you consent to the Video Recording of any chat session that you have via Video Services and you give your permission to AHS to use your likeness and voice in connection with such Video Recordings, and you release AHS and anyone acting under its authorization from any claims that any use of the Video Recordings as authorized herein violates any of your rights, including any rights of publicity or privacy. AHS may, in its discretion, make such Video Recordings available to you through the Services or otherwise.
Be Careful and Respectful. Video Experts and other AHS representatives should be treated with respect. We know that requesting service can be stressful, but if you or anyone interacting with us on your behalf are verbally abusive or threaten the safety, well-being, or property of our Video Experts or other representatives, we may terminate your access to the Services and any products or services you have purchased. Our Video Experts strive to place your safety first, but if at any time you are uncomfortable performing actions suggested by a Video Expert, you should stop and communicate this to the Video Expert.
Reasonable Use. Video Services are provided solely for your reasonable use, as determined in our sole discretion, to obtain assistance from Video Experts regarding home services issues. The range of issues that Video Experts may address shall be specified by AHS at the time of your registration or purchase, or as otherwise indicated by AHS in our discretion. The Video Experts who assist you will be selected by AHS and may not be the same for all of your chat sessions.
Disclaimer. AHS makes no representations and provides no warranties or guarantees regarding the quality, legality, suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of any Video Services or information provided through the Video Services. You are responsible for your compliance with applicable laws.
Video Content. You are solely responsible for your use of the Video Services, and you agree that your use of your device's camera to capture video and/or images shall comply with the requirements for Contributions described in Section 3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to applicable law and the terms of our Privacy Policy, all images, artwork, technology and other content, data, meta-data, information, materials and other items recorded, streamed, provided or made available by you to AHS through your access and use of the Video Services, and all information and materials derived from or based on the foregoing, shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of AHS.
Impermissible Use and Sharing. You may not use, or attempt to use, the Video Services through any means not explicitly and intentionally made available, provided or intended with respect to the Video Services (including, but not limited to, attempting to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Video Services or any other systems connected to the Video Services). You may not use or access the Video Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Video Services or that could interfere with the rights of or otherwise harm AHS. To the extent permitted by AHS, you may use and share Video Recordings with local pros in connection with your home repair or maintenance. Any other reproduction or distribution, and any commercial use, of Video Recordings is strictly prohibited.

How do we use text messaging (SMS)?

You may elect to receive certain notices and announcements via SMS through the AHS service notification program or the AHS promotional text program. As part of the service notification program, you may receive notifications related to each service request you submit. As part of the promotional text program, you may receive a varying number of informational or promotional messages per month. In either case, message and data rates may apply. Neither AHS nor carriers are liable for delayed or undelivered messages. When you opt-in to either program, AHS will send you a message to confirm your signup. You can cancel a program at any time by texting “STOP” to us. After you send the message “STOP” we will send you a reply message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive messages through that program. For all questions about the programs, you can text HELP to us or you can visit “Get Help” within the side menu of the App.
What are the limitations on our liability to you?

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT: (a) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY, TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY USE OF, THE INABILITY TO USE, OR THE RESULTS OF USE OF THE SERVICES OR THEIR CONTENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AGGREGATE LIMIT OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN YOUR HOME WARRANTY PLAN AGREEMENT, IF YOU HAVE A HOME WARRANTY PLAN AGREEMENT.

Through the Services you may receive access to special offers or discounts applicable for third-party services. AHS shall not be liable for the representations, actions or omissions of any provider of such services. If a dispute arises between you and such provider, you hereby release AHS from any claims, demands or damages of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

What happens if you violate this Agreement?

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AHS, its parent, affiliates, shareholders, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third-party information provider to the Services, together with their officers, directors, owners, partners and employees, from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including attorney’s fees, resulting from: (a) any violation of this Agreement (including negligent or wrongful conduct) by you; or (b) your use of or access to the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defense of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.
You agree that we, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, may terminate your access to the Services and/or block your future access to the Services if we determine that you have violated this Agreement or other agreements or policies which may be applicable to products or services available through the Services. You also agree that any violation by you of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to us, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to our obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that we deem necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies we may have at law or in equity. You agree that we, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, may terminate your access to the Services for cause, which includes: (1) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (2) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions), (3) discontinuance or material modification of the Services or any product or service offered on or through the Services, or (4) unexpected technical issues or problems. If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party.

What do you do if things do not go as expected?

Applicability. In the event of a dispute between you and us, if the dispute is subject to a home warranty plan agreement between you and us and/or you are a party to a home warranty plan agreement with us, then the dispute resolution provisions of that home warranty plan agreement apply. Otherwise, the following provisions of this Section 13 apply.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without application of conflict of laws rules. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
Resolution of Any Dispute. In the event a dispute arises between you and us, we want to provide you with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us, which may be initiated by visiting “Get Help” within the side menu of the App, or calling Customer Service. If, however, there is an issue that needs to be resolved, the following terms describe how both of us will proceed with respect to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in any way relating to your use of the Services (“Claims”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes Claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory.
MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND WE CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND US TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Any Claim will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. The parties also agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law applies to this Agreement. In addition, the arbitrator, and not any court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute between the parties relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this Section 13, including that any part of this Section 13 is voidable, subject to Section 13.5(c) below.

Notice of Disputes. If a dispute arises between us, the party who intends to seek arbitration must send a written notice of dispute describing the claim and specific relief sought. All notices to us shall be sent to the following email address: legal@yingla.net. All notices to you will be sent to the electronic mail address we have on file for you. The notice must include the initiating party’s digital or ink signature and, if the party is represented by an attorney, the attorney's signature. No arbitration shall be commenced, and no arbitration fees shall be assessed, until we have received a compliant written notice and we have had 30 days to evaluate and respond to the notice.
Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Rules (and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, if applicable) (collectively, (the “JAMS Rules”), except as modified by this Section. The JAMS Rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, except as modified by this Section. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, in person in the State of Tennessee, or at another mutually agreed location.
Class Action Waiver. You and we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings, including any arbitration, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or any other consolidated or representative action. Any dispute or claim will be brought in an individual capacity only, and an arbitrator will have no authority to award class-wide relief or relief to any other claimant. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver provision is unenforceable shall be decided by a court and not an arbitrator.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN ANY FORUM.
Batching of Similar Actions. To increase efficiency of resolution, if 25 or more similar arbitration demands, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm(s) or organization(s), are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period, JAMS shall (a) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 25 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 25 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and (b) provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with us and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.

Survival. Your and our rights and obligations under this Section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement or your account with us. If any terms of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid, void or, for any reason, unenforceable, that term shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining term. We may assign our rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.

What else do you need to know?

This Agreement, together with any other additional terms governing other products or services available through the Services (including but not limited to the home warranty plan agreement), constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and us regarding the Services.
