Reversal + Communication Policy

Every Child takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our Affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse inquiries due to cancellations, duplicate tracking, disputed inquries, and program violations as outlined in this Agreement.

Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be connected to a violation of this Agreement, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.

Your responses are intentionally vague, not forthcoming or are found to be untrue.
You are not responsive to our requests within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact you using the information listed in your network profile.
You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our Program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above are applicable, we reserve the absolute right to reverse inquiries, suspend or terminate you from the Program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is required that each Affiliate monitor and pro-actively resolve any problems and adhere to our Program rules.

Arbitration, Class Waiver, and Waiver of Jury Trial

You and Every Child Arkansas/The Contingent mutually agree to resolve any justiciable disputes between you and Every Child Arkansas/The Contingent, including any disputes involving your use of the Services, exclusively through final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator instead of filing a lawsuit in court. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).

If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by you must be delivered to The Contingent, 809 N Russel Street, Portland, OR 97227, Attn: Legal Department.

Class Action Waiver. You and Every Child Arkansas/The Contingent mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action, collective action and/or representative action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective or representative action (“Class Action Waiver“). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the JAMS Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

Any arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules“), except as follows:

The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute.

The arbitration shall take place in Portland, Oregon.

The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.

Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration.

The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions.

The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law.

Either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration may be rendered ineffectual.

Regardless of any other terms herein, claims may be brought before and remedies awarded by an administrative agency if applicable law permits access to such an agency notwithstanding the existence of an agreement to arbitrate.

The JAMS Rules may be found at www.jamsadr.com or by searching for “JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures” using a service such as www.Google.com or www.Bing.com.

Governing Law

You further acknowledge and agree that our intellectual property and proprietary rights are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving them peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be readily estimated or adequately compensated for in monetary damages.
