DELIVERY.
10.1 Factor Delivery Week. Factor’s “Delivery Week” begins on Saturday and runs through the following Friday. The start of our Delivery Week means that new Meals are available to be delivered in your Meal Box. Note that the Delivery Week may differ from the auto-renewing weekly subscription term.
10.2 Meal Selection Date. Meal Selection Date. Recipe Plan selection and delivery day selection is on a rolling basis. To clarify, if you receive deliveries on Saturdays all selections "lock" Monday by 11:59 PM Central Time, or if you receive deliveries on Sundays, all selections "lock" Tuesday by 11:59 PM Central Time, or if you receive deliveries on Monday or Tuesday, all selections "lock" Wednesday by 11:59 PM Central Time, and if you receive deliveries on Wednesday all selections "lock" Thursday by 11:59 PM Central Time. For example, if your subscription allows for recipe selection and you receive your Box on Tuesdays, you will have to make your selection of Recipe Options you want included in your Box, or change your delivery day, by Wednesday 11:59 PM CT of the week prior to your existing delivery day. Your credit card or other payment source will then be charged the following day. First box or reactivating account order selection “lock” schedule can vary from this schedule, please refer to your My Menu page for confirmation of your “lock” deadline.
Please note that the specific days in which a Meal Box can be delivered varies by geographic region, and delivery on each day will not be available in all areas. If you have any questions about your area and delivery, please contact Customer Care at help@factor75.com or call (888) 573-5727.
10.3 Cancellation Procedures. Please note that ability to change an order locks on a rolling basis on the week prior to your scheduled delivery date. To clarify, if you receive deliveries on Saturdays, your ability to change order locks by Monday 11:59 PM Central Time. Similarly, if you receive deliveries on Sundays, ability to change order locks by Tuesday 11:59 PM Central Time, if you receive deliveries on Mondays or Tuesdays, ability to change order locks by Wednesday 11:59 PM Central Time, if you receive deliveries on Wednesdays, ability to change order locks by Thursday 11:59 PM Central Time. Therefore, if you wish to cancel your Account subscription and/or cancel or change an order, you must do so by the day and time described above for your respective delivery day. For example, if you have a scheduled delivery on Tuesday, you have until Wednesday at 11:59 PM CT of the week prior to canceling your subscription. If you do so after your lock day and time, you will be charged and receive your Box for that week, and the cancellation will take effect for the following Delivery Week. To cancel your Account subscription, log on to your account. Click on your name in the upper right-hand corner, then click “Account Settings.” Scroll down on the Meal settings page and click “End Meal Subscription” (under Status section). Follow the prompt(s) for your cancellation. You will be prompted with a message confirming that your account has been cancelled. You may also cancel your account by contacting Customer Care, at factor75.com/contact or email help@factor75.com, stating that you wish to terminate your Subscription, along with your full name and registered email address.
10.4 Pausing Your Order. During any delivery week, you have the option of pausing your deliveries. In order to do so, log on to your Account page on the Site or App, select a particular week (by clicking on the delivery day highlighted), then click on the “Edit Delivery” button and then click “Skip Week” button. You will not be charged for any week in which your order is paused. Please note that this action cannot be taken for any scheduled order which has already “locked,” pursuant to Section 10.2 “Meal Selection Date” above. Additionally, pausing an order shall only apply to the week in which you pause, and automatic deliveries will commence the following week, unless you choose to pause the following week, subject to the details, above.
10.5 Delivery Specifics. We enlist the support of third-party delivery companies to deliver your meals that will generally deliver your meals prior to 9 pm local time on your delivery date. Weather permitting, each box is carefully packaged to stay fresh until approximately 10 pm local time on the day of delivery. To maintain the highest quality and integrity of the meals after delivery, we recommend that you immediately refrigerate the items upon receipt. Additionally, you should inspect your package to ensure the contents arrive in a cool, refrigerated condition. The best way to ensure the quality and food safety of the product is to check the meat and fish with a meat thermometer to ensure their internal temperatures are 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below. If a fresh food product arrives at above 41 degrees Fahrenheit, you should contact our customer service and discard the item. If you are not home when a delivery arrives, our delivery person will leave the package for you at your door. In the case of inclement weather, we will deliver your order as soon as reasonably possible when the conditions permit. If your designated delivery location is inaccessible, rendering us unable to make the delivery, we will contact you to determine the best alternate location and/or date for the delivery. In the case of weather that inhibits the ability to make safe deliveries, or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your order, we will attempt to deliver your order as soon as possible. In some cases, delivery may occur on a date other than your scheduled delivery day. If the delivery of your Meals is not feasible, we will cancel your delivery for the impacted period and issue a credit, as determined in our sole discretion.
FORCE MAJEURE. We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay the performance of, any of our obligations caused by events outside our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Event”). A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, non-happening, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control and includes, but is not limited, to the following: (1) Strikes, lock-outs, or other industrial action; (2) Civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war, or threat or preparation for war; (3) Fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, or other natural disaster; (4) Impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport, or other means of public or private transport; (5) Impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and (6) The acts, decrees, legislation, regulations, or restrictions of any government. Our performance under these Terms is deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable efforts to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these Terms may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
RECEIPT OF THE MATERIALS. Factor uses specific materials to refrigerate perishable items and also uses third party delivery companies to deliver Meal Boxes to customers. Please note that you are responsible for reviewing the Meal Box upon delivery and inspecting all of the Products contained within for any defects or other problems upon delivery. If you are not home when your Meal Box is delivered, the Meal Box will be left at your door or in a common area. Upon the completion of your review of the Meal Box, we recommend that you place all perishables in your refrigerator to ensure the integrity of all meals and contents. The risk of loss and/or damage passes to you at the time of delivery. We highly recommend that you review the USDA’s instructions on safe food handling. All items are solely at your risk from the time of delivery. As such, you are solely responsible for any preparatory steps, storage of the contents of any Meal Boxes, and the warming of Meals. We recommend that you use a thermometer to measure the temperature of any poultry, fish, or meat products that arrive in the insulated portion of the Meal Box, and, pursuant to USDA Guidelines, you should utilize said thermometer to ensure that they are at (or below) 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
FOOD PREPARATION. Factor recommends that all warming instructions found within our online menu and on the back of your meal tray packaging slip to be followed, and all seafood, meats, and poultry should be cooked to the USDA’s recommended internal temperatures (165 degrees Fahrenheit for poultry; 160 degrees Fahrenheit for ground meats; 145 degrees for whole meats; and 145 degrees Fahrenheit for seafood). Factor recommends utilizing a food thermometer to verify internal temperatures. For more information, please consult the USDA’s website). Please note that each Meal will have a corresponding meal description found online. If you have any questions or concerns related to your meal or meal warming instructions, please contact help@factor75.com or Customer Experience at (888) 573-5727.

If related to the condition of a Meal, we, at our sole discretion, may give you credit for the individual Meal, and in some situations, issue a partial or full refund for the Meal.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION. Our philosophy is to treat all consumers, including our customers, honestly and reasonably. Most concerns and complaints can be resolved by contacting Customer Care at help@factor75.com or Customer Experience at (888) 573-5727. If a concern, complaint, or claim of any kind arises between you and Factor that is not resolved by Customer Care, you and Factor agree to work diligently and in good faith to reach a resolution that is fair and equitable to both sides using the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process described below.
On occasion, despite our respective best efforts, a third party may be necessary to help resolve problems that may arise between you and Factor. YOU AND FACTOR AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND Factor THAT ARE NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ONLY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. YOU AND FACTOR ALSO AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTES OR TO MAKE OR PROCEED WITH ANY CLAIM ON A COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
24.1 All Disputes Covered. You and Factor agree that this Arbitration Agreement covers all concerns, complaints, demands for relief, disputes, and claims of any kind and in the broadest possible sense that may arise between you and Factor (each a “Dispute,” and, collectively, the “Disputes”). Disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement include, but are not limited to, those arising out of or related in any way to these Terms, including Factor’s Privacy Policy or other Supplemental Terms; the operation and content of the Site and App; your use of the Site and App; communications and interactions between you and Factor; promotions by Factor; and all purchases of, requests for, and uses by you of all Products and Services offered by Factor (including all Offerings and supplemental Offerings). You and Factor further agree that this mutual obligation to arbitrate encompasses Disputes of every kind and description, including, but not limited to, statutory, regulatory, constitutional, and common law Disputes, including, but not limited to, those involving allegations of negligence and intentional wrongdoing (including fraud and misrepresentation) and tax controversies, and irrespective of the source or origin of the law which may govern or give rise to such Disputes and irrespective of whether other parties may be involved in such Disputes. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all Disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of these Terms or any prior version of these Terms.
24.2 All Persons and Entities Covered. You and Factor agree that this Arbitration Agreement applies to all agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, employees, and all others acting for, or on behalf of, you and Factor, or under your or Factor’s direction or control, and all companies affiliated with Factor (including, but not limited to, parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations, if any). This Arbitration Agreement is binding not only on you and Factor, but also your and Factor’s respective heirs, successors, and assigns.
24.3 The Federal Arbitration Act Applies to this Arbitration Agreement. You and Factor agree that this Arbitration Agreement and all arbitrations between you and Factor under this Arbitration Agreement are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal law, notwithstanding any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or imposing obligations greater than, or inconsistent with, the FAA.
24.4 Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process. If a dispute arises, Factor is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. For any issue or Dispute that arises between you and Factor, both parties acknowledge and agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve it informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in arbitration or otherwise. This includes first sending a written notice of dispute (“Mandatory Dispute Notice”). A Mandatory Dispute Notice from you to Factor must (1) be sent by certified mail, with a copy to factorarbitrationoptout@factor75.com with the subject line “User Dispute”; (2) be addressed to: Grocery Delivery E-Services USA, Inc. dba Factor, Attn: Legal Department, 28 Liberty Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10005 (“Notice Address”); (3) contain your name, address, and email address; (4) describe the nature and basis of your claim; (5) include any relevant facts regarding your use of the Site, the App, the Offerings and/or Services (as may be applicable), including without limitation the specific order or conduct to which your Dispute pertains, the date(s) of any disputed charges, the date(s) of your interaction under which the Dispute arose; (6) specify the nature and basis of the specific relief sought, including the damages sought, if any, and a detailed calculation of them; and (7) include a personally signed statement from you (and not your counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Mandatory Dispute Notice. The Mandatory Dispute Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your Dispute and no other person’s Dispute. If applicable, Factor agrees to send a Mandatory Dispute Notice to you, containing a similar level of detail as described above, by email to an email address you have previously provided to Factor or by certified mail, return receipt requested to an address you have previously provided to Factor.
You and Factor will then, upon receipt of any Mandatory Dispute Notice, attempt in good faith to resolve each Dispute described in the Mandatory Dispute Notice on an individual basis. You and Factor agree that, after receipt of the completed Mandatory Dispute Notice, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and Factor agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution. If we and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the issues identified in the Mandatory Dispute Notice within 60 days after the completed Mandatory Dispute Notice is received (or a longer time if agreed to by the parties), you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or a small claims court proceeding (if permitted by small claims court rules).
Compliance with this Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines (other than the filing fees due by a claimant to commence an arbitration matter) shall be tolled while the parties engage in Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process set forth herein. All of the requirements of the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process are essential so that you and Factor have a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration. In addition, unless prohibited by law, the arbitration administrator may not accept, administer, assess, or demand fees in connection with an arbitration that has been initiated without completion of the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process, provided that this shall not excuse a claimant from timely paying filing fees necessary to commence arbitration. If the arbitration is already pending prior to the completion of the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process, the arbitration shall be administratively closed. A party may seek in arbitration, and an arbitrator or process arbitrator may award damages for non-compliance with the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process.
24.5 Disputes Not Settled Informally May Only Be Resolved in Small Claims Court or By Individual Arbitration. At the conclusion of the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process, Disputes presented in a Mandatory Dispute Notice, but not resolved, may be asserted on an individual basis in either (1) small claims court in: (a) the county or parish where you live, if such a court is available and has jurisdiction to hear the Dispute; or (b) another location you and Factor agree on, but only if the Disputes (and the relief sought) qualify to be brought in that court; or (2) binding individual arbitration as provided for in this Arbitration Agreement, below.
24.5 ARBITRATION RULES AND REQUIREMENTS: You and Factor agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Dispute Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure requirements referenced in Section 24.4, and that they are a party to the Arbitration Agreement enclosed with or attached to the demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented).
Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and, if applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of the AAA rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you or Factor, and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event, unless you and Factor agree otherwise, shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator, forum, and/or third-party neutral upon mutual written agreement. If the AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, you and Factor will select another arbitration provider, forum, and/or third-party neutral upon mutual written agreement. If there is no agreement, a court shall appoint an appropriate arbitration provider.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you or Factor must file a demand for arbitration (“Demand”) with the AAA and serve a copy on the other party. You and we agree that notwithstanding any rules of the arbitration provider to the contrary, the Demand must (1) describe the factual and legal nature and basis of the claim or Dispute; (2) set forth the specific relief sought; and (3) include the name, mailing and email addresses, and phone number of the party bringing the claim. Unless the AAA Rules provide otherwise, a Demand shall be sent to the American Arbitration Association Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043, or by filing online through the AAA’s website: https://www.adr.org/Support. For Demands initiated against Factor, a copy of the Demand shall also be sent to Factor by email to factorarbitrationoptout@factor75.com or by certified mail, return receipt requested to Grocery Delivery E-Services USA, Inc. dba Factor, Attn: Legal Department, 28 Liberty Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10005.
While there is no judge or jury in an arbitration, subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator has the power to hear and resolve all claims and to award all the relief that a court can award to an individual litigant. The arbitrator, however, may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Factor agree otherwise or as permitted by the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations set forth in Section 24.8 below, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, or private attorney general proceeding. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized declaratory or injunctive relief; class, representative, and private attorney general claims; and consolidation are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or with respect to a particular request for relief (such as a request for injunctive relief sought with respect to a particular claim), then the parties agree such a claim or request for relief shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other arbitrable claims and requests for relief are arbitrated, as set forth below.
The arbitrator must interpret and apply this Arbitration Agreement as a court would. Court review of an arbitration decision is limited. To the extent that any cause of action or claim for relief cannot for any reason be addressed in arbitration, you and Factor agree that any court proceedings shall be stayed pending the final resolution in arbitration of all arbitrable causes of action and claims for relief. In the event you and Factor disagree on whether a Dispute must be arbitrated or disagree concerning the scope of the arbitrator’s powers, the arbitrator shall have, but only to the extent permitted by law, the sole authority to address all such disagreements, including, but not limited to, arguments concerning or related to the formation, legality, interpretation, and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, the scope of the Arbitration Agreement, the applicability of this Arbitration Agreement to you and Factor, and the arbitrability of any Dispute arising between you and Factor. Any court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enforce these arbitration requirements (including those related to Mass Arbitration set forth below) and, if necessary, enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitrations and the assessment of fees by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other organization, arbitrator, or mediator in a manner inconsistent with this Arbitration Agreement.
As in court, you and Factor agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration certifies when initiating and proceeding in arbitration that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including certification that the claim or relief sought is neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the AAA Rules, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, or applicable federal or state law, against all parties and counsel.
Except as expressly provided in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief, or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorneys’ fees and costs, in accordance with applicable law. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator awards sanctions or finds that either the substance of the claim, the defense, or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
24.7 Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations. If twenty-five (25) or more claimants or their lawyers file, threaten to file, or indicate an intention to file Demands for arbitration raising substantially identical Disputes, and counsel for the claimants are the same or coordinated across such Disputes (a “Mass Arbitration”), the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, shall apply. The AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, shall also apply if Factor initiates Disputes raising similar claims against 25 or more consumers represented by the same or coordinated counsel.
Each Mass Arbitration claimant must complete the Mandatory Dispute Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure requirements referenced in Section 24.4 above before that Mass Arbitration claimant can proceed to arbitration.
You acknowledge and agree that, by choosing to participate in a Mass Arbitration, the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel shall meet and confer in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute, streamline procedures, address the informal exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated and to promote efficiency, conservation of resources, and the resolution of Disputes, including to engage with the arbitration administrator and/or process arbitrator to address threshold administrative issues.
A first set of arbitrations (“Stage One”) will be resolved using bellwether proceedings if the claims are not resolved during pre-arbitration negotiations. In Stage One, each side shall select up to 20 cases (40 cases total) to be filed in arbitration. The cases shall be resolved individually by different arbitrators to the extent that the AAA has enough arbitrators available. If the AAA does not have enough available arbitrators to decide all the cases filed, the AAA may assign multiple cases to the same arbitrator, but the arbitrator must still resolve each arbitration individually, and no arbitration shall be binding on the others or on subsequent arbitrations. In the meantime, no other cases may be filed in arbitration, and the AAA shall not accept, administer, or demand payment of fees for arbitrations commenced in violation of this Arbitration Agreement.
After Stage One is completed, the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases. The parties shall attempt to reach agreement on a mutually agreeable mediator. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the AAA may administratively appoint a mediator.
If the parties cannot agree how to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of Stage One and the mediation, to increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of the remaining cases, the parties shall attempt to agree on a batching process that allows all arbitrations to proceed in an orderly, efficient, and cost-effective manner. If the parties cannot agree on an orderly process, each side shall submit a proposal to a process arbitrator, who will then decide upon an appropriate batching process (“Stage Two”). During State Two, the parties or a process arbitrator may appoint a single arbitrator to preside over batches of arbitrations, and the batches may be decided (as appropriate) on a consolidated basis with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award. AAA shall administer all batches in Stage Two concurrently, to the extent possible.
You and Factor agree to cooperate in good faith with AAA to implement this batch arbitration process. This batch arbitration process shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing or creating a class or collective action of any kind, and nothing about the batch arbitration process will preclude any party from participating in any arbitration administered according to that process, or any arbitrator from awarding individual relief as between each respondent and claimant in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, even if they are part of the same batch. Nothing about the prohibition on class, collective, or representative actions shall be construed as prohibiting the batch arbitration described herein.
If your Dispute is part of a Mass Arbitration, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled for your Dispute from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to AAA until your Dispute proceeds in arbitration or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration on mutual agreement of the parties.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration section of the Arbitration Agreement, including by enjoining the filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations, and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees.
The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations section of the Arbitration Agreement and each of its requirements are essential parts of this Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that this Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations section applies to your Dispute and is not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Agreement.
24.8 No Class Actions. Except as expressly provided for in the Mass Arbitration Rules, you and Factor agree that all Disputes must be resolved on an individual basis only. This means that in such circumstances: (a) neither you nor Factor can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action; (b) an arbitrator cannot combine multiple claimant’s claims into a single case (or preside over any consolidated, class, or representative action); and (c) an arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only decide the Disputes of that claimant, not other claimants. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement, including this section, is intended to limit the relief available to either you as an individual or Factor in arbitration or small claims court, including equitable relief that an arbitrator may be required to make available by applicable law. Nor does anything in this section limits your or Factor’s rights to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims whether through mediation or otherwise.
24.9 Fees and Costs. You and Factor will each bear their own costs and attorneys’ fees in the event of a Dispute, provided, however, that either party may recover attorneys’ and arbitral fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law or under applicable arbitration rules. If an arbitrator determines that an arbitration has been brought in bad faith, for an improper purpose, or to exert unfair pressure greatly disproportionate to the harm alleged, or that the demand was entirely frivolous, the arbitrator may award costs, arbitration fees, and attorneys’ fees to the party defending itself in connection with any such Disputes.
24.10 Offer of Settlement: In any arbitration between you and Factor, the defending party may, but is not obligated to, make a written settlement offer at any time before the evidentiary hearing or, if a dispositive motion is permitted, prior to the dispositive motion being granted. The amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator issues an award on the claim. If the award is issued in the other party's favor and is less than the defending party's settlement offer or if the award is in the defending party's favor, the other party must pay the defending party's fees and costs incurred after the offer was made, including any attorney's fees. If any applicable statute or case law prohibits the shifting of costs incurred in the arbitration, then the offer in this provision shall serve to cease the accumulation of any costs to which the party bringing the claim may be entitled for the cause of action under which it is suing.
24.11 Rules of Construction. This Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to facilitate the resolution of all Disputes in arbitration in a way that is cost-effective to all parties.
24.12 Severability. If for any reason any provision of this Arbitration Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Agreement shall remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner that facilitates resolution of Disputes in arbitration in a way that is cost effective to all parties.
24.13 Survival. All provisions of this Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination, cancellation, or expiration of the Terms or of your customer relationship with Factor.
24.14 Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: factorarbitrationoptout@factor75.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Factor username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Factor account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. If you have previously agreed to such an arbitration provision, you may opt out of any revisions to your prior arbitration agreement made by this provision in the manner specified above, but opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Factor. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any arbitration agreements that you may enter in the future with us.
- GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; CLASS ACTION AND JURY WAIVER.
THESE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THESE TERMS.
Claims excepted from arbitration under the Arbitration Agreement set forth in these Terms, or otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be subject to arbitration, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of New York, notwithstanding that other courts may have subject matter jurisdiction over the claims or personal jurisdiction over the parties. Notwithstanding this forum selection agreement, any small claims court proceedings may be brought in: (a) the county or parish where you live, if such a court is available and has jurisdiction to hear the claim; or (b) another location you and Factor agree on, but only if the claims (and the relief sought) qualify to be brought in that court.
You and Factor agree that to the extent claims proceed in court, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not participate as a plaintiff, claimant, or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. This means that you and Factor may not bring a claim on behalf of a class or group and may not bring a claim on behalf of any other person unless doing so as a parent, guardian, or ward of a minor or in another similar capacity for an individual who cannot otherwise bring their own individual claim. This also means that you and Factor may not participate in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding brought by any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or Factor may participate in a class-wide settlement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Factor waive any right to a jury trial. If there is a final judicial determination that any part of this paragraph is unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the unenforceable or unlawful portion shall be severed and severance shall have no effect whatsoever on the enforceability, applicability, or validity of any other part of these Terms, including without limitation the choice-of-forum provision in the preceding paragraph. While there is no judge or jury in an arbitration, subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator has the power to hear and resolve all claims and to award all the relief that a court can award to an individual.

26.1 Term. The Terms commence on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Offerings, unless terminated earlier in accordance with these Terms.
26.2 Prior Use.

You can cancel your Service in accordance with the terms set forth in Sections 6 and 10.3 hereunder. Except as set forth above, the Service subscription fee shall be non-refundable. If timely payment cannot be charged to your payment provider for any reason, if you have materially breached any provision of the Terms, or if Factor is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Site, the App or the Services is, or becomes, unlawful), Factor has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Factor’s sole discretion and that Factor shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account. We reserve the right to change any and all Content and to modify, suspend or stop providing access to the Site (or any features or functionality of the Site) and the Products at any time without notice and without obligation or liability to you.
26.4 Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and may bar further use of the Service. Termination of all Services may also include deletion of your password and all related information, files and Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof). Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Service may involve deletion of your Content associated therewith from our live databases. Factor will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of the Offerings or Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
26.5 No Subsequent Registration.

If you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Factor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER. If any of these Terms are determined by any competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition, or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions, and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. No waiver by Factor of any provision in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision, and any failure to assert a right or provision under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
APP STORES. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the App and the Services is dependent on the third party from whom you received the App license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Factor and not with the App Store. Factor, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Offerings, including the App, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefore, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property infringement). To use the App, you must have access to a wireless network or other, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Offerings, including the App. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the App is conditioned upon your compliance with all terms of agreement imposed by the applicable App Store when using any Offerings, including the App. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and will have the right to enforce them.
28.1 Additional Terms for Apple Apps. With respect to any App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use the App Store Sourced Application (i) on an Apple-branded product that runs the iOS (Apple’s proprietary operating system) and (ii) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. In addition, the following terms apply to any App Store Sourced Application: (a) You acknowledge and agree that (i) these Terms are concluded between you and Factor only, and not Apple, and (ii) Factor, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App Store Sourced Application and content thereof. Your use of the App Store Sourced Application must comply with the App Store Terms of Service. (b) You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. (c) In the event of any failure of the App Store Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App Store Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store Sourced Application. As between Factor and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Factor. (d) You and Factor acknowledge that, as between Factor and Apple, Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store Sourced Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App Store Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. (e) You and Factor acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store Sourced Application or your possession and use of that App Store Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Factor and Apple, Factor, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by these Terms. (f) You and Factor acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as related to your license of the App Store Sourced Application against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. (g) Without limiting any other provisions of these Terms, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store Sourced Application.
MISCELLANEOUS. These Terms and any document expressly referred to herein constitute the whole agreement between you and Factor, and supersede all previous discussions, correspondence, negotiations, arrangements, understandings, or agreements between us relating to the subject matter of any contract. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred, or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Factor. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and is not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. In accordance with California Civil Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. The communications between you and use electronic means, whether you visit Services or send Factor e-mails, or whether Factor posts notices on Services or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes, you (1) consent to receive communications from Factor in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications related to these Terms that Factor provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were made in writing in a physical document. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
EXPORT CONTROL. You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Offerings except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Offerings may not be exported or re-exported (1) into any United States embargoed countries, or (2) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
NOTICE. Where Factor requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing Factor with your most current email address. If the last e-mail address you provided to Factor is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/permitted by these Terms, Factor’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Factor at the following address: Grocery Delivery E-Services USA, Inc. dba Factor, Attn: Legal Department, 28 Liberty Street, 10th floor, New York, NY 10005. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Factor by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first-class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
34.THE PROGRAM. 34.1 Program Definitions. “Program” means Factor’s internet-based nutrition coaching and management program, which is delivered in one or more Plans. “Program Fee” means, as set forth in the Plan, or any customer agreement or other communication from Factor to you, the charge to the Customer for Programs provided by Factor. “Proprietary Information” means all non-public business or technical information, or materials disclosed to you by Factor or any Factor wellness professional (“Wellness Professional”), including any documentation, any method of carrying out or delivering the Program, and any pricing or commercial terms related to the Program, including the price paid for the Plan and Program.
34.2 Access to Wellness Professionals. As part of the Plan and Program, Factor will provide you with individual or group access to Wellness Professionals, who will consult with you by videoconference or telephone. You agree to work with your Wellness Professionals in good faith solely with respect to the Program, and you will not seek consultation from your Wellness Professionals for any other purpose. If you need to reschedule an individual appointment with a Wellness Professional, you agree to do so at least 12 hours in advance, or the session will be marked as complete and cannot be used. In addition, if you miss a scheduled individual appointment, the session will be marked as completed. You agree that the sessions with Wellness Professionals are for your own personal benefit and not for the benefit of others and that you will not allow any observers to join you, except as may be necessary to facilitate your participation in the session. You agree that you will not record any such session in any way. You also understand and agree that Factor may replace any Wellness Professional assigned to you at any time, with no advance notice.
34.3 Eligibility. We do not permit individuals under eighteen (18) years of age to register for our Program. By using the program, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age and have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms and to abide by the terms and conditions found herein. Due to the physiological sensitivity that occurs with pregnancy and our inability to provide collaborative care with physicians, individuals who are pregnant will be unable to use our Program. Individuals who are currently or have a goal to be at a BMI below 18.5 will also be unable to use our services. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), current medical standards indicate a healthy BMI range to be between 18.5-24.9, with a BMI falling below 18.5 to be considered underweight. Weight loss for underweight individuals is not recommended and should be supervised by a medical professional.

THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE WEBSITE AND/OR MOBILE APP DO NOT CONTAIN OR CONSTITUTE, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS, MEDICAL ADVICE OR OPINION. NO DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IS CREATED.

If you are being treated for an illness, taking a prescription medication, or following a therapeutic diet to treat a disease, it is especially urged to consult with your physician before using the Program. Each time you use the Program, you represent to us that you are not using the Program for the purpose of seeking medical attention. You further agree that, before using the Program, you shall consult your physician, particularly if you are at risk for problems resulting from exercise or changes in your diet.

YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM, INCLUDING YOUR USE OF ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM RECOMMENDED BY FACTOR OR ANY WELLNESS PROFESSIONAL, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY PARTICIPATING IN THESE ACTIVITIES, EVEN IF ANY ASPECT OF THE WEBSITE OR DOCUMENTATION IS INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OR INAPPROPRIATE IN THE MANNER IT WAS PRESENTED.
34.6 Disclaimer of Program Warranty and Limitation of Liability. You hereby release and agree to hold Factor harmless from any and all causes of action and claims of any nature resulting from the Program and/or the Wellness Professionals’ Services, including (without limitation), any act, omission, opinion, response, advice, suggestion, information, and/or service of any Wellness Professional, and or any other content or information accessible through the Program.
