2. CONTENT YOU SUBMIT.
A. User-Generated Content.
(i) General. In some contexts, CBIZ CPAs offers users of the Online Services the opportunity to create, build, post, upload, display, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, or otherwise make available on or submit through the Online Services, or on or in response to our pages or posts on any third-party platforms or in connection with any of our promotions by any media or manner, or otherwise submit to us (e.g., on our Facebook or other social media pages, in response to our tweets, through a sweepstakes or contest, or by otherwise sending it to us) (collectively, “submit”) messages, text, illustrations, files, images, graphics, photos, comments, responses, sounds, music, videos, information, content, ratings, reviews, data, questions, suggestions, personally identifiable information, or other information or materials and the ideas contained therein (collectively, but excluding CBIZ CPAs Licensed Elements included therein, “User-Generated Content”or “UGC”). You may submit UGC through your profile or account, forums, blogs, message boards, social networking environments, content creation and posting tools, benefits information submission features, contact us tools, email, and other communications functionality. Except to the extent of the rights and license you grant in these Terms and, subject to any applicable Additional Terms, you retain whatever legally cognizable right, title, and interest that you have in your UGC.
(ii) Non-Confidentiality of Your Public User-Generated Content. Except as otherwise described in the Services’ posted Privacy Policy, or any applicable Additional Privacy Notices or Additional Terms, you agree that (a) your UGC will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary by us – regardless of whether you mark them “confidential,” “proprietary,” or the like – and will not be returned, and (b) to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, CBIZ CPAs does not assume any obligation of any kind to you or any third-party with respect to your UGC. Upon request, you will provide documentation necessary to authenticate rights to such content and verify your compliance with these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms. You acknowledge that the Internet and mobile communications may be insecure and subject to breaches of security; accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that your UGC is submitted at your own risk.
In your communications with CBIZ CPAs, please keep in mind that we do not seek any unsolicited ideas or materials for products or services, or even suggested improvements to products or services, including, without limitation, ideas, concepts, inventions, or designs for websites, apps, software, products, services, or otherwise (collectively, “Unsolicited Ideas and Materials”). Any Unsolicited Ideas and Materials you submit are deemed UGC and licensed to us as set forth below. In addition, CBIZ CPAs retains all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials. CBIZ CPAs’ receipt of your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials is not an admission by CBIZ CPAs of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair CBIZ CPAs’ right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating to your Unsolicited Ideas and Materials.
(iii) License to CBIZ CPAs of Your UGC. Except as otherwise described in any applicable Additional Terms, which specifically govern the submission of your UGC, or in our Privacy Policy or any applicable Additional Privacy Notices, you hereby grant CBIZ CPAs, the non-exclusive, unrestricted, unconditional, unlimited, worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, and cost-free right and license to use, copy, record, distribute, reproduce, disclose, sell, re-sell, sublicense (through multiple levels), display, publicly perform, transmit, publish, broadcast, translate, make derivative works of, and otherwise use and exploit in any manner whatsoever, all or any portion of your UGC (and derivative works thereof), for any purpose whatsoever in all formats, on or through any means or medium now known or hereafter developed, and with any technology or devices now known or hereafter developed, and to advertise, market, and promote the same. Without limitation, the granted rights include the right to: (a) configure, host, index, cache, archive, store, digitize, compress, optimize, modify, reformat, edit, adapt, publish in searchable format, and remove such UGC and combine same with other materials, and (b) use any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in any UGC for any purposes whatsoever, including developing, producing, and marketing products and/or services. You understand that in exercising such rights, metadata, notices and content may be removed or altered, including copyright management information, and you consent thereto and represent and warrant you have all necessary authority to do so. In order to further effect the rights and license that you grant to CBIZ CPAs to your UGC, you also, as permitted by applicable law, and our Privacy Policy and any applicable Additional Privacy Notices or Additional Terms, hereby grant to CBIZ CPAs, the unconditional, perpetual, irrevocable right to use and exploit your name, persona, and likeness in connection with any UGC, without any obligation or remuneration to you. Except as prohibited by law, you hereby waive any moral rights (including attribution and integrity) that you may have in any UGC, even if it is altered or changed in a manner not agreeable to you. To the extent not waivable, you irrevocably agree not to exercise such rights (if any) in a manner that interferes with any exercise of the granted rights. You understand that you will not receive any fees, sums, consideration, or remuneration for any of the rights granted in this Section 2.A(iii).
(iv) CBIZ CPAs’ Exclusive Right to Manage Our Service. CBIZ CPAs may, but will not have any obligation to, review, monitor, display, post, store, maintain, accept, or otherwise make use of, any of your UGC, and CBIZ CPAs may, in its sole discretion, reject, delete, move, re-format, remove or refuse to post or otherwise make use of UGC without notice or any liability to you or any third-party in connection with our operation of UGC venues in an appropriate manner. Without limitation, we may do so to address content that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms. Such UGC submitted by you or others need not be maintained on the Online Services by us for any period of time, and you will not have the right, once submitted, to access, archive, maintain, change, remove, or otherwise use such UGC on the Online Services or elsewhere, except that California minors have certain rights to have certain content about them that they have themselves posted on the Online Services prospectively removed from public display as provided for in Section 13.J below and in the Privacy Policy.
(v) Representations and Warranties Related to Your UGC. Each time you submit any UGC, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside and are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any UGC you submit, and that, as to that UGC, (a) you are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property and other rights to the UGC, or you have a lawful right to submit the UGC and grant CBIZ CPAs the rights to it that you are granting by these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, all without any CBIZ CPAs obligation to obtain consent of any third-party and without creating any obligation or liability of CBIZ CPAs; (b) the UGC is accurate; (c) the UGC does not and, as to CBIZ CPAs’ permitted uses and exploitation set forth in these Terms, will not infringe any intellectual property or other right of any third-party; and (d) the UGC will not violate these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or cause injury or harm to any person.

We do not warrant that the Software provided by CBIZ CPAs to utilize the Services or any other software used in connection with the Services will be compatible with other third-party software nor do we warrant that operation of the Services and the associated software will not damage or disrupt other software or hardware. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all Devices and other equipment and software, and the security thereof, and all internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed for your access to and use of the Services and you will be responsible for all charges related to them.

By using the Online Services, you agree that CBIZ CPAs may change, alter, or modify the settings or configurations on your Device in order to allow for or optimize your use of the Online Services (e.g., save content, access data, enable services, etc.). For instance, subject to any permission settings you choose, our app may access and read accounts, data and/or content on your Device, add content to your Device, and change settings of your Device, for reasons such as allowing you to submit receipts for reimbursement and send other documents to us, enabling phone call, push notification and/or SMS text notices; saving app images, sound files and writing usage logs to the Device; sending messages you initiate; sending and receiving data needed for app operations; and to provide you notice when you are not connected to a network.

You must be connected to the Internet for the entire time you are using the Online Services, the cost and provision of which is your responsibility. The quality of the display of the Content may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your Device, your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your Internet connection. CBIZ CPAs makes no representations or warranties about the quality of your Service experience on your Device or the ability of any Device to access or display the Content. In order to stream or download Content, your equipment must meet certain system requirements, including but not limited to having high-speed Internet access
Any issues related to the Services and/or the Software, including any system requirements, are covered and limited by this Agreement. Please refer to the Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties and Limitations of Our Liability provisions set forth in these Terms.

(i)Text Messages: You may be given opportunities to subscribe to various text marketing or other text messaging programs and by doing so, you consent to receive ongoing text alerts (including by auto-dialers) from us related to our various businesses and affiliates, which may include information about employers/plan sponsors, except that if the scope of your consent for a particular subscription is limited that subscription will be so limited. Such consent is not required to purchase any product or service. For each subscription, text “HELP” for help and text “STOP” to terminate (i.e., opt-out) that subscription. Subsequent or different subscriptions will be unaffected by an opt-out. You consent to receive a text confirming any opt-out as well as non-marketing administrative or transactional messages. For subscriptions to recurring text messages, you may receive up to the number of text messages per month specified in your consent, or to which you later consent. Alerts auto-renew unless otherwise specified when you consented. You understand that we will send mobile text messages using automated technology. If you subscribe to text messages you represent that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, or have obtained parental consent. Standard message, data and other fees may be charged by your carrier, and carriers may deduct charges from pre-paid amounts or data allowances, for which you are responsible. Contact your carrier for details. Not all phones and/or carriers are supported.
(ii)Email Messages: You may cancel or modify our email marketing communications you may receive from us by following the instructions contained within our promotional emails. This will not affect subsequent subscriptions and if your opt-out is limited to certain types of emails the opt-out will be so limited. Please note that we reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to your account or use of our Services, such as administrative and service announcements and these transactional account messages may be unaffected if you choose to opt-out from receiving our marketing communications.
9. ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE TERMS.
This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and CBIZ CPAs agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.
A. First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Services, including without limitation, the Content, your UGC, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, our privacy practices related to the Services, and offers made on and transactions and communications conducted through the Services (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of CBIZ CPAs’ actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 9.A. Your notice to us must be sent to: Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C., webprivacy@CBIZ CPAscpa.com (Attn: Legal Counsel/Privacy). Subject to Section 9.C, for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, CBIZ CPAs and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or CBIZ CPAs to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and CBIZ CPAs, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
B. Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 9.A (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then, subject to Section 9.C and as permitted by applicable law, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND CBIZ CPAs (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT, OR NEGLIGENCE – COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, SERVICE OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE SERVICES. The Federal Arbitration Act, not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between CBIZ CPAs and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Services. CBIZ CPAs and you agree, however, that Ohio or federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and CBIZ CPAs, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to Ohio’s choice of law principles that might apply other laws.
Disputes will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except that the then current consumer dispute rules will apply to consumers. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to arbitrate the Dispute then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of CBIZ CPAs consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require CBIZ CPAs to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 9 to be enforceable, then CBIZ CPAs will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, will be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, will determine any Dispute according to the applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Services.
C. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 will not apply to any legal action taken by CBIZ CPAs or you to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any potential loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Services, any Content, your breach of these Terms of applicable Additional Terms and/or CBIZ CPAs’ intellectual property rights (including such CBIZ CPAs may claim that may be in dispute), CBIZ CPAs’ operations, and/or CBIZ CPAs’ products or services; provided however, your rights are subject to the following:
AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, UGC, BENEFIT PROGRAMS, SERVICES, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OFFERED, OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY CBIZ CPAs (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED UGC) OR A LICENSOR OF CBIZ CPAs. HOWEVER, THIS SECTION 9.C SHALL NOT LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SEEK OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF, SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS AND ANY APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS.
D. No Class Action Matters and Jury Waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. YOU AND CBIZ CPAs 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. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute, or Excluded Dispute, to be determined on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes, or Excluded Disputes, brought to a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 9.B to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 9.E. As permitted by applicable law, the parties each waive any right to trial by jury.
E. Federal and State Courts. Except to the extent that arbitration is required in Section 9.B, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute may only be instituted in state court in Cuyahoga county, or Northern District Court in Cleveland, Ohio. Accordingly, you and CBIZ CPAs consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters. The court will apply the laws of Ohio without regard to conflict of law provisions that might apply other laws.
F. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring a qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Sections 9.D and 9.E.
The provisions of this Section shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. This Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Services or these Terms.
