Some detected impact events will not be indicative of a motor vehicle accident. Events included but not limited to the following can cause detected impact events which may be reported as a crash. Hard closes of doors, trunk, cargo areas, and engine hood, connecting or pulling trailers, loose and shifting cargo.

While reasonable care has been taken to design the SMS messaging to notify designated contacts of a crash, no assurances are made regarding a guarantee of SMS messaging notification to reach the designated contact.

ARBITRATION

WE HOPE TO MAKE YOU A SATISFIED CUSTOMER, BUT IF THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, THIS SECTION OUTLINES WHAT IS EXPECTED OF US BOTH.

YOU AND WE BOTH AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ONLY BY ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR IN FRONT OF A JURY. WHILE THE PROCEDURES MAY BE DIFFERENT, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD YOU THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME TERMS IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, AS A COURT WOULD. IF THE LAW ALLOWS FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THEM TOO. WE ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT:

  1. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT APPLIES TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT CASES THAT QUALIFY, ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO OR ARISES OUR OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR FROM ANY EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM US (OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES), INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES YOU HAVE WITH OUR EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS, WILL BE RESOLVED BY ONE OR MORE NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) OR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU (“BBB”). YOU CAN ALSO BRING ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND IF THE LAW ALLOWS, THEY CAN SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US FOR YOU.
  2. UNLESS YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER’S REGISTERED ADDRESS WITH US IS LOCATED. FOR CLAIMS OVER $10,000 USD, THE AAA’S WIRELESS INDUSTRY ARBITRATION (“WIA”) RULES WILL APPLY. IN SUCH CASES, THE LOSER CAN ASK FOR A PANEL OF THREE NEW ARBITRATORS TO REVIEW THE AWARD. FOR CLAIMS OF $10,000 USD OR LESS, THE PARTY BRINGING THE CLAIM CAN CHOOSE EITHER THE AAA’S RULES FOR CONSUMER DISPUTES OR THE BBB’S RULES FOR BINDING ARBITRATION OR, ALTERNATIVELY, CAN BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOU CAN GET PROCEDURES, RULES AND FEE INFORMATION FROM THE AAA (WWW.ADR.ORG), THE BBB (WWW.BBB.ORG) OR FROM US. FOR CLAIMS OF $10,000 USD OR LESS, YOU CAN CHOOSE WHETHER YOU’D LIKE THE ARBITRATION CARRIED OUT BASED ONLY ON DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED TO THE ARBITRATOR, OR BY A HEARING IN PERSON OR BY PHONE.
  3. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE DO NOT ALLOW CLASS OR

COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE AAA OR BBB PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY 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. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. ANY QUESTION REGARDING THE ENFORCEABILITY OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT AND NOT THE ARBITRATOR.

  1. IF EITHER OF US INTENDS TO SEEK ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE PARTY SEEKING ARBITRATION MUST FIRST NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE DISPUTE IN WRITING AT LEAST 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE OF INITIATING THE ARBITRATION. NOTICE TO US SHOULD BE SENT TO: SMARTTRACKERZ • LEGAL DEPARTMENT 1209B Richmond Ave, Bdn,MB. R7A1M5 Canada. THE NOTICE MUST DESCRIBE THE NATURE OF THE CLAIM AND THE RELIEF SOUGHT. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITHIN 30 DAYS, EITHER PARTY MAY THEN PROCEED TO FILE A CLAIM FOR ARBITRATION.
  2. AN ARBITRATION AWARD AND ANY JUDGMENT CONFIRMING IT APPLY ONLY TO THAT SPECIFIC CASE; IT CANNOT BE USED IN ANY OTHER CASE EXCEPT TO ENFORCE THE AWARD ITSELF.
  3. IF FOR SOME REASON THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN SUBSECTION (3) CANNOT BE ENFORCED, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY.
  4. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESET TERMS OF SERVICE IN ANY WAY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 

SEVERABILITY

If any term or provision of these Terms of Service, or of any document incorporated herein by reference, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then that term or provision shall be severed from these Terms of Service, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of these Terms of Service shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law and unless prohibited by law.

 

GOVERNING LAW

Except where SmartTrackerz has agreed otherwise elsewhere in these Terms of Service, interpretation of these Terms of Service and any disputes covered by it are governed by federal law and the laws of the Province of Manitoba, Canada excluding its conflict of law provisions.
