MOBILE TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: Nov. 12, 2024
The Actuals mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Actuals ("Actuals", "we", or "us"). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions ("Mobile Terms"). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
By consenting to Actuals's SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of Actuals through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).
You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with Actuals. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.
We do not charge for the Service, but you are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details. You are solely responsible for all charges related to SMS/text messages, including charges from your wireless provider.
You may opt-out of the Service at any time. Text the single keyword command STOP to +18337858108 or click the unsubscribe link (where available) in any text message to cancel. You'll receive a one-time opt-out confirmation text message. No further messages will be sent to your mobile device, unless initiated by you. If you have subscribed to other Actuals mobile message programs and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms.
For Service support or assistance, text HELP to +18337858108 or email Albright@useactuals.com.
We may change any short code or telephone number we use to operate the Service at any time and will notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or HELP requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.
The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you get a new mobile number, you will need to sign up for the program with your new number.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Service.

infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. If you believe that one of our users is, through the
use of our Site, unlawfully infringing the copyright(s) in a work, and wish to have the allegedly infringing material
removed, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be
provided to our designated Copyright Agent:
-
your physical or electronic signature;
-
identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed;
-
identification of the material on our services that you claim is infringing and that you request us to remove;
-
sufficient information to permit us to locate such material;
-
your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
-
a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the
copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and

either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on
behalf of the copyright owner.
Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written
notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorney’s fees
incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.
10. GENERAL
10.1. Changes. These Terms are subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial
changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any),
and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Site. You are responsible for providing us with
your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not
valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-
mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the
notice. Continued use of our Site following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of
such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.
10.2. Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (the
“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Company, its parent
companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Company Parties”) and limits the manner in
which you can seek relief from the Company Parties_._
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute between you and
any of the Company Parties relating in any way to the Site, the services offered on the Site (the “Services”)
or these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you and the
Company Parties may assert individualized claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, remain in
such court and advance solely on an individual, non-class basis; and (2) you or the Company Parties may
seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as
trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration
Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms and shall apply, withoutlimitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before you agreed to these Terms (in accordance
with the preamble) or any prior version of these Terms. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude
you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law
allows, seek relief against the Company Parties on your behalf. For purposes of this Arbitration
Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence
of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these
Terms.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between
you and Company. If that occurs, Company is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable
resolution. You and Company agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a
prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Company therefore agree that before either
party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so
elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to
resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution
Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you
will also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal
Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such
Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Company that you intend to initiate an
Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to: albright@artifactual.io, or by regular mail to
1100 Glendon Ave, Los Angeles, California 90024. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number,
mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number,
mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.
The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held
each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users
in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same
Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice
and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties
from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal
Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing
arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the
Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum. These Terms evidence a transaction involving
interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable
substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and
enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute
Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within 60 days after receipt of your
Notice, you and Company agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through
binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this
Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute
resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under
$250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the
Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-
arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.
JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. A party who
wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”).
The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party
seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with
any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those
claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in
controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute
Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary
filing fees in connection with such arbitration.If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone
number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request,
counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable
under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass,
cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other
legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or
reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary
support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further
investigation or discovery.
Unless you and Company otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Subsection 10.2(h) is
triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator
may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited
nature of the arbitration. If the JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS Rules.
You and Company agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept
confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and
then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration
proceedings confidential.
(d) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all
disputes subject to arbitration hereunder including, without limitation, any dispute related to the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the
Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection
entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the
subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or
voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been
breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as
expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of
arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all
Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided
only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version
of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by
an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any
other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The
arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The
arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or
relief available to an individual party under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms
(including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision
describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award)
is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law.
The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.2(A) YOU AND
THE COMPANY PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS
TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Company
Parties are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration
under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 10.2(a) above. An arbitrator can award on
an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would.
However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very
limited review.
(f) Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND COMPANY
AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 10.2(H) EACH OF US MAY BRING
CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS,
REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTSTO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR
ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY
INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR
USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER
CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator 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 the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall
it, affect the terms and conditions under the Subsection 10.2(h) entitled “Batch Arbitration.”
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a
final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver
of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or
request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Company agree that that particular
claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the
arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other
Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or
Company from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
(g) Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in
arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the
Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Company need to invoke the authority of a court of
competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in
such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary
disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The
prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to
arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs,
necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
(h) Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of
arbitrations, you and Company agree that in the event that there are 100 or more individual Requests of a
substantially similar nature filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of
law firms, or organizations, within a 30 day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the JAMS shall (1)
administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less
than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining
Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a
single consolidated arbitration 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
(“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event
or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the
parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the JAMS, and
the JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process
(“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative
Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve
any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Company.
You and Company agree to cooperate in good faith with the JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process
including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to
minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to
assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the
arbitration proceedings.
This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass
arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances,
except as expressly set forth in this provision.(i) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this
Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out to the following
address: 1100 Glendon Ave, Los Angeles, California 90024, or email to albright@artifactual.io, within 30
days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and
address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this
Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this
Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with
us, or may enter into in the future with us.
(j) Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class
or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the
law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall
be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You
further agree that any Dispute that you have with Company as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must
be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will
be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such
arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of
competent jurisdiction.
(k) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree
that if Company makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that
change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing Company at the following address:
1100 Glendon Ave, Los Angeles, California 90024, or email to albright@artifactual.io. Unless you reject
the change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing to Company in accordance with
the foregoing, your continued use of the Site and/or Services, including the acceptance of products and
services offered on the Site following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your
acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new
opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these
Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration
Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in
any way to your access to or use of the Services or of the Site, any communications you receive, any
products sold or distributed through the Site, the Services, or these Terms, the provisions of this Arbitration
Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these
Terms) remain in full force and effect. Company will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration
Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.
