Binding Individual Arbitration; No Class Actions
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Dispute Resolution. Most issues can be resolved by contacting Todd’s customer support. If an issue cannot be resolved through customer support, you and Todd agree to resolve any such dispute as described herein, including (where applicable) by binding, individual arbitration. Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure where the dispute is submitted to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) for fair and fast resolution.
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or any related documents, including any anticipatory breach or disagreement as to interpretation of the purchase terms, that is not resolved by the parties themselves or through a third-party mediator, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Cincinnati, Ohio administered by Cincinnati Bar Association Arbitration Services pursuant to its rules and procedures in effect at the time the dispute is submitted. The arbitrator(s) shall decide all discovery issues. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party nor the mediator nor the arbitrator(s) may disclose the existence, content, or results of any mediation or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. All fees and expenses of the mediation and arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally. However, each party shall bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of proofs, except that, in arbitration, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees.
If you have an issue that our customer support can’t resolve, prior to starting arbitration, you and Todd agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. You and Todd agree to make a good-faith effort to negotiate any dispute between us for at least 30 days (“Informal Resolution”). Those informal negotiations will start on the day you or Todd receive a written notice of such dispute. You will send written notice of such dispute to privacy@toddcares.com. Include your name, any relevant account name you use, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want Todd to do. If Todd has a dispute with you, Todd will send our written notice to your registered email address and any billing address you have provided us. If the dispute isn’t resolved by Informal Resolution or small-claims court, you or Todd may start an arbitration in accordance with these Terms.
Disputes We Agree to Arbitrate
You and Todd agree to submit all Disputes between you and Todd to individual binding arbitration. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between you and Todd that relates to your use or attempted use of Todd’s products or services and Todd’s products and services generally, including without limitation the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Binding Individual Arbitration section. You and Todd agree to arbitrate all Disputes regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory. The Informal Resolution and Arbitration sections do not apply to (1) individual actions in small-claims court; (2) pursuit of enforcement actions through a government agency if the law allows; (3) an action to compel or uphold any prior arbitration decision; (4) Todd’s right to seek injunctive relief against You in a court of law to preserve the status quo while an arbitration proceeds; (5) claims of intellectual-property infringement; (6) claims for indemnification; and (7) the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below. You and Todd agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under these Terms will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a court.
Arbitration Procedure
The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and Todd agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions. The arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are requested by you or Todd to satisfy one of our individual claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence). The arbitrator may not award relief against Todd respecting any person other than you. Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement. If you start the arbitration, you must pay any filing fees required for consumer arbitrations. These costs do not include your Attorneys’ fees and costs.
Class Action Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and Todd agree to only bring Disputes in an individual capacity and shall not:
ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION TERMS
If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or Todd must start arbitration of the Dispute within one (1) year from when the Dispute first arose. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than one year after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. Todd encourages you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
If all or any provision of this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then you and Todd agree that the provision will be severed and the rest of these Terms shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. The sole exception is that if the Class Action Waiver is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, you and Todd agree that it will not be severable; this entire Binding Individual Arbitration section will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court subject to the venue and choice of clauses specified in these Terms. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without Todd’s express consent.
This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of these Terms or Todd’s provision of services to you.
Although Todd may revise these Terms in its discretion, Todd does not have the right to alter these Terms to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute arises.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PLATFORM MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Todd of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Todd to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

Todd may assign, transfer, or delegate any or all of its rights and obligations under these Terms of Use to a third party, including to a successor of all or substantially all of the assets of Todd through merger, reorganization, consolidation, or acquisition, and including the transfer of any rights, licenses, or consents related to the storage and use of Feedback, Aggregate Data, User Contributions, and other data and information.
Relationship of the Parties
To the extent that the Terms of Use or any incorporated documents create any relationship between the parties, that relationship shall be that of an independent contractor relationship.
