PLEASE READ: THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT REQUIRING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND HUMANS, INC., SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, TO BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND REQUIRING YOU TO FOREGO JURY TRIALS, CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF COURT PROCEEDINGS OF ANY KIND. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY FOLLOWING THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1 BELOW, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IMPORTANT DECISION.
Humans, Inc. (“Humans” or “we” and all of its derivations) offers Flip, our mobile app, our website located at www.flip.shop, and related services (collectively, “Flip”). These Terms of Use, the Flip Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), our Community Rules (“Community Rules”), and all other terms and policies referenced in these Terms or accessible from Flip (collectively, the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and us. BY DOWNLOADING FLIP OR CLAIMING CREDITS OR PAYMENTS OFFERED TO YOU THROUGH FLIP, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS AND ALL OTHER RULES, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO FLIP AND YOUR USE THEREOF THAT WE MAY PROVIDE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE FLIP.
“You” (and all of its derivations) means you individually and any person acting as your agent, under your authority, or with your permission. You may not use Flip on behalf of a company or other legal entity. You represent and warrant that you are (a) at least 18 years of age (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction for entering into a binding contract) and (b) capable of entering into a legally binding agreement. If you are under 18, you may only use Flip if your parent or legal guardian has consented to these Terms on your behalf. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 YEARS OLD, YOU MAY NOT USE FLIP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR FOR ANY REASON.
Mandatory Individual Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, including those relating to the formation, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, scope, or applicability of the Terms and this Arbitration Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”), whether such Disputes arose before, on, or subsequent to you entering these Terms, and if not resolved through the informal dispute resolution procedure outlined below, shall be exclusively resolved by individual, binding arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below, you and Humans each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.’
Class Action/Jury Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that you and Humans are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and Humans agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that this Class Action/Jury Waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void and you and Humans will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
To the extent that any claims are allowed to proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
Notwithstanding your and Humans’ agreement to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, you and Humans each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
Rules, Procedures, and Governing Law. In the event of a Dispute, you and Humans each agree to send the other party a written notice of Dispute stating the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice; the facts giving rise to the Dispute; and the relief requested (“Notice of Dispute”). You must send any Notice of a Dispute by mail to us at Humans, LLC, c/o Humans Inc. 2250 E Maple Avenue, El Segundo, CA 90245. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address we have for you, if any. You and Humans agree to attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days after the Notice of Dispute is received. After the end of that 30-day period and not before, you or Humans may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Humans’ and your right to bring an individual action in small claims court shall not require an attempt to first resolve the relevant Dispute through informal negotiation.
If the parties cannot resolve the matter informally, you and Humans each agree that all Disputes shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. All Disputes shall be submitted to ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) for arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, in the city or county wherein you reside, or another location (including by telephone or remote means) you and Humans mutually select, and shall be before one arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by ADR Services in accordance with its rules and procedures, including any supplementary rules and fee schedules then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. ADR Services’ Rules are available at https://www.adrservices.com/services-2/arbitration-rules/. For information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding, you can contact ADR Services at www.adrservices.com.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and any proceedings under it. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and the Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and the Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Rules. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on ADR Services’ website at www.adrservices.com. Payment of all filing and administration fees will be governed by the Rules.
If 20 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, ADR Services shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in 20 batches, with the discretion to create additional batches if ADR Services finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each side as set forth in ADR Services’ Mass Consumer Non-Employment Arbitration Fee Schedule. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class or mass arbitrations of any kind. Humans reserves all rights and defenses as to each and any demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and Humans shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. An arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. You and Humans agree that the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s decision and information exchanged during the arbitration, shall remain confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award.
If any Dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings concerning such Dispute shall be the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California.
Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, if Humans changes any of the terms of this Section 1 after the date you first accepted the Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by providing Humans written notice of such rejection within thirty (30) days after the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above. This written notice must be provided either by email at wecare@flip.shop or by mail to our registered agent for service of process, c/o Humans Inc. 2250 E Maple Avenue, El Segundo, CA 90245. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name, address, and signature, and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Arbitration Agreement. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Humans in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Arbitration Agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the Arbitration Agreement).
Opt-out procedure. You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms by email to wecare@flip.shop or by mail at Humans, LLC, c/o Humans Inc. 2250 E Maple Avenue, El Segundo, CA 90245. If mailed, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms. To be effective, your Opt-Out Notice must contain your name, address, and signature. If you opt out of the 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 previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
Survival of Arbitration Agreement. This Section I shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with Humans.

While using Flip, you may earn credits against future purchases through a combination of browsing reviews and inviting friends to set up a Flip Account.

Severability, Non-waiver, Entire Agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, that provision will be replaced by a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that comes closest to the parties’ intent underlying the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. For purposes of these Terms: (a) the words “include,” “includes”, and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the words “such as”, “for example”, “e.g.”, and any derivatives of those words will mean by way of example and the items that follow these words will not be deemed an exhaustive list; (c) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and the terms “or,” “any”, and “either” are not exclusive; (d) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto”, and “hereunder” refer to these Terms as a whole; and (e) the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. No ambiguity will be construed against any party based on a claim that the party drafted the language. No failure by any party to take any action or assert any right hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of such right and will not prevent such party from enforcing such right in the future. The waiver by a party of any of its rights or a breach in a particular instance will not be construed as a waiver of such rights or breach or of the same or different rights or breach in subsequent instances. These Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Humans with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersede any other agreements, proposals, and communications, written or oral, between Humans and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.
