You acknowledge that by providing your phone number(s) to LBH, you expressly agree to receive ongoing and recurring informational and/or marketing calls and text messages (such as SMS, MMS, or successor protocols or technologies), including but not limited to those made or sent using an autodialer and/or any other automated system or method, and those made or sent outside of regular business hours, from or on behalf of LBH related to your account(s) and/or our relationship, our products and/or services, and promotions, specials, discounts or offers.

Your consent to receive automated calls and texts is completely voluntary. You may opt-out at any time.
To opt-out of text messages, text STOP to any text message you receive, or contact Customer Service at 1-800-835-0919 or by email at customerservice@ross-simons.com and specify that you want to opt out of text messages. You may also text HELP for help. You acknowledge and agree to accept a final text message confirming your opt-out; this message may also seek to clarify the scope of your opt-out.

You waive any rights to bring claims for unauthorized or undesired calls or text messages by failing to opt-out immediately or by failing to follow these instructions. Please allow up to ten (10) days to process any opt-out request. Please note that if you opt out of automated calls or text messages, we reserve the right to make non-automated calls or text messages to you. It is possible that third parties may have your contact information and you may continue to receive communications from these third parties despite an opt out request. We are not responsible for unwanted contact from third parties. Please contact third parties directly to inform them of your communication preferences.
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telephone devices and other equipment and software, and all internet service provider, mobile service, and other services needed to receive calls and text messages. Text messaging may only be available with select carriers with compatible handsets.
There is no fee to receive automated telephone calls or text messages from LBH. However, you may incur a charge for these calls or text messages from your telephone carrier, which is your sole responsibility. Message and data rates may apply. Check your telephone plan and contact your carrier for details. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to incur such charges and acknowledge that LBH is not responsible for such charges.
You must notify LBH immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your telephone device. Although LBH will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of your telephone device, you may be liable for our losses due to such unauthorized use.
You agree to indemnify LBH for any privacy, tort or other claims, including claims under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act or its state law equivalents, including claims relating to your voluntary provision of a telephone number that is not owned by you and/or your failure to notify us of any changes in your contact information, including telephone number. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all such claims, losses, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees). LBH shall have the exclusive right to choose counsel, at your expense, to defend any such claims.
In consideration of the services provided by LBH, you hereby release LBH from any and all claims, causes of action, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, liabilities or other harms resulting from or relating to telephone calls or text messages, including without limitation any claims, causes of action, or lawsuits based on any alleged violations of the law (including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Caller ID Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or any similar state and local acts or statutes, and any federal or state tort or consumer protection laws).

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY EXPRESS WRITTEN PRODUCT WARRANTY PROVIDED BY LBH THAT APPLIES TO A PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
This Dispute Resolution Process, including the obligation to arbitrate any claims against LBH, applies to any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to the Site, your purchase of any product from LBH, the Ross-Simons SMS Program ("SMS Program"), these Terms, or any other dispute you may have with LBH, whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms (collectively, "Dispute"). For U.S. residents, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and not state law, governs the arbitrability of all Disputes between you and LBH, including the class action waiver below. The law of the State of Rhode Island or federal law, where applicable, shall govern the substance of any Dispute, without regard to conflict of law principles.
INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If you believe you have a Dispute with LBH, please contact LBH by email at customerservice@ross-simons.com so LBH can try to resolve your concerns. LBH will likewise contact you by email or other available contact information if it believes it has a Dispute with you. The notice must be provided on an individual basis and include a reasonable description of the Dispute, the relief sought, and, if applicable and available, the date of any purchase or transaction at issue. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the notice, LBH and you will engage in a dialogue directly through consultation and good faith negotiations in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute, including, if requested by either party, through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. Nothing will require either you or LBH to resolve the Dispute on terms with respect to which you or LBH are not comfortable. Participation in this informal dispute resolution process—during which any applicable statute of limitations, arbitration filing fee deadline, or other deadline will be tolled—shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Any Dispute that is not resolved through informal resolution shall be submitted to binding arbitration or small claims court as provided below.
BINDING ARBITRATION
If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in the manner described in the preceding paragraph within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND LBH (BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, REGULATION, 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 INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT) AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") using AAA's then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules, including, when applicable, AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, except as modified by these Terms. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties will mutually agree on another arbitration provider, which may include Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. ("JAMS"). You can obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information at http://www.adr.org. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written demand for arbitration as specified in the applicable rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who shall be a retired state or federal court judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state or county in which you reside, and who shall apply and be bound by these Terms. The parties will first attempt to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree, the arbitration provider will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with its rules. Remedies that would otherwise be available to the parties under applicable federal, state, or local laws remain available under this arbitration clause on an individual basis. The arbitrator will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis and will issue a written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based for each claim asserted. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, interpretation, and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions below are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. To provide the most efficient resolution process, arbitration hearings may be conducted via electronic or telephonic means or by a submission of documents in lieu of a personal appearance by the parties. However, the arbitrator shall have discretionary authority to require a face-to-face meeting if the arbitrator determines that such a meeting is necessary for a fundamentally fair hearing. The in-person hearing shall take place in your county of residence or some other location that is convenient for you. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Site.
SPECIAL ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR MASS ARBITRATION
If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against LBH by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for LBH shall each select five (5) cases per side to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process, unless the parties agree in writing to modify the number of cases to be included in the bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, and no arbitration fees shall be assessed in connection with those cases, until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings pursuant to this provision. After decisions have been rendered in the first ten (10) cases, LBH and all claimants shall engage in a global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases with the benefit of the decisions in the bellwether cases. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the mediation, each side shall select another ten (10) cases per side to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. After decisions have been rendered in the second group of twenty (20) cases, LBH and all claimants shall engage in a second global mediation in an attempt to resolve the remaining cases. Absent a settlement or agreement to modify the procedure for arbitrating the remaining cases, the arbitration provider shall administer the remaining arbitration demands in batches of fifty (50) demands per batch, designate one (1) arbitrator for each batch, and provide for a single filing fee due per side per batch. This batch arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of any kind. LBH does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this paragraph. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this paragraph from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected to proceed, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against LBH.
NO CLASS ACTION MATTERS
THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION, PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. Except as expressly contemplated for mass arbitrations above, 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. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or other persons or entities similarly situated. If, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to the provisions of the Section titled "Jurisdictional Issues" below. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Dispute Resolution Process, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation, and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions. If the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire arbitration agreement shall be void. If any portion of this arbitration agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration agreement.
ARBITRATION FEES
You and LBH will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. If the applicable arbitration rules or laws require LBH to pay a greater portion or all such fees and costs in order for this Dispute Resolution Process to be enforceable, then LBH will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. You will be responsible for your own attorney fees and expenses unless the arbitration rules or applicable law permit you to recover your attorneys' fees. You will not be required to pay any fees or costs incurred by LBH if you do not prevail in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the arbitrator may award LBH its attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, arbitration-related fees, and/or costs to the extent permitted by applicable law.
LIMITED TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR LBH WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR LBH MUST COMMENCE IT BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH ABOVE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES, OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to the Disputes.
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution Process will not apply to any legal action taken by either party to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to or arising out of the SMS Program, LBH's intellectual property rights, LBH's operations, or LBH's products or services.
SMALL CLAIMS MATTERS ARE EXCLUDED FROM ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring a qualifying Dispute in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction.
THIRTY (30)-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address via certified mail: Luxury Brand Holdings, 9 Ross-Simons Drive, Cranston, RI 02920, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days after the date you first agreed to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, LBH also will not be bound by them.
JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
Except where arbitration is required above, with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, or for qualifying Disputes filed in small claims court, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or federal court in Rhode Island. You and LBH consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters. The law of the State of Rhode Island or federal law, where applicable, shall govern the substance of any Dispute, without regard to conflict of law principles; provided, however, that the FAA governs this Dispute Resolution Process and the arbitrability of all Disputes.
INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless LBH, its independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and their respective directors, employees and agents, from and against any claims, damages, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to any Content you post, store or otherwise transmit on or through our Site or your use of or inability to use our Site, including without limitation any actual or threatened suit, demand or claim made against LBH and/or its independent contractors, service providers, employees, directors or consultants, arising out of or relating to the Content, your conduct, your violation of these Terms or your violation of the rights of any third party.
