DIY Insurance Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “DIY Insurance”) make life insurance simpler for people to buy online. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”), including the Terms of Service attached below as Annex A (which are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein), outline the rules and expectations that protect both you and DIY Insurance. Our goal is to keep them simple and easy to understand. If there’s something you’re not sure about, please reach out to us.

We use the term “Services” to refer to any of the products and services we sell online, any site information or Services provided on www.dyi-insurance.com or our affiliated sites (collectively, the “Site”), and the growing community of people who use our platform. We use the term your “DIY Insurance Account” to mean where you can find data about your insurance policies, your contact information, and any additional data you choose to add such as videos, photos, and property listings. When we write “we”, “our”, “us”, or “DIY Insurance”, we mean DIY Insurance Inc. And, any time we write “you” or “your”, we mean the person who is using our Services (and reading these Terms).

Remember: if you buy insurance using DIY Insurance, there are important laws, rules, conditions, exceptions, and requirements that apply to you and your insurance carrier for your issued insurance policy. Your rights and responsibilities are explained in your insurance policy, which will be digitally provided to you after you sign and remit your first payment.

Leaving www.dyi-insurance.com

Sometimes we may link to other companies or services, like an article, reference, referral, social media content, promotion, website, application, or advertisements (collectively “Third-Party Services”). When you click on a link to a Third-Party Service, we may not warn you that you have left our Site and you become subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of DIY Insurance. We cannot guarantee these links as we don’t manage content which is not on our Site, and links can change after they’re posted. DIY Insurance isn’t responsible for the practices of the sites or services to whom we link, including any of the content they show you. And, those sites are not acting or ruled by the Site policies of DIY Insurance. DIY Insurance provides these Third-Party Services only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services, or any product or service provided in connection therewith. You use all links in Third-Party Services at your own risk. When you leave our Site, this Agreement and our policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Services, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.

You agree that DIY Insurance may share information you provide to the applicable Third-Party Service. DIY Insurance is not responsible for any Third-Party Service’s use of your exported information. Further, the information you may share with any third parties, like the sites and services we may link to, are controlled by them and their site policies and terms. You understand and agree that we don’t have control of those sites and we are not responsible if you give any third-party access to your data. You own any risk yourself for sharing information or viewing content on other sites. You are solely responsible for your purchasing decisions and if you choose to visit any third-party websites, you may be subject to additional or different terms and conditions and privacy policies.

This does not apply to sites we require you to visit in order to use our Services, such as third-party services for filing claims which may be hosted separately from our main domain. Also, if any of the Services provided to you contain an open-source license, there may be provisions in those licenses that expressly conflict with the Terms, in which case, the open source provisions will apply.

DIY Insurance only sells insurance in states where we are licensed to sell.

Our services are offered through our licensed insurance producer entity, DIY Insurance Technologies Inc. (dba in CA and NY as DIY Insurance Life Services). DIY Insurance is not an insurance carrier. Instead, we provide the products and services of our admitted insurance carrier partners licensed to sell insurance in your state. Not all products are available in all states. DIY Insurance is paid commissions and may receive other performance-based compensation for its services. You can find a list of DIY Insurance licenses at this link.

The products we offer are only for people who live in the United States. We don’t and don’t intend to sell insurance products outside the United States, or anywhere DIY Insurance isn’t licensed.

Our quote is not the final price.

DIY Insurance generates quotes for life insurance products. These prices change based on your answers to our questions and information collected during your application, your choices for different products, or due to changes in insurance pricing guides. For example, if you apply for life insurance just before your birthday but don’t pay for it that day, it can cost more a few days later—as it’s after your birthday and your price may go up as you get older. Whenever you leave your application before you pay, your price may change. Your price isn’t final and set until you sign your insurance contract with our insurance carrier and pay your initial premium.

Your DIY Insurance Account

Your DIY Insurance Account keeps your relevant content and documents related to the services, such as copies of your policy documents. We strive to keep your information safe.

Governing Law

THE TERMS AND YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED BY TEXAS LAW, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

Arbitration Agreement

Arbitration Agreement. Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with DIY INSURANCE and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and DIY INSURANCE agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Site, and prior versions of the Site, including claims and disputes that arose between you and us before the effective date of these Terms (each, a “Dispute”), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

(i) You and DIY INSURANCE may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and
(ii) You or DIY INSURANCE 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).

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 these Terms, as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and DIY INSURANCE. If that occurs, DIY INSURANCE is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and DIY INSURANCE agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). Therefore, 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 forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to DIY INSURANCE that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [insert contact email] or regular mail to our offices located at [insert office address], Attn: Legal Department. The Notice must include:

  1. Your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your Account (if you have one);
  2. The name, telephone number, mailing address, and email 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.

During the period 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.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DIY INSURANCE 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 DIY INSURANCE are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the section titled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.” There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND DIY INSURANCE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE SECTION TITLED “BATCH ARBITRATION,” 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 RIGHTS TO 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 section titled “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 section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and DIY INSURANCE 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 Texas. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This section does not prevent you or DIY INSURANCE from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

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 sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and DIY INSURANCE agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.

The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), in accordance with NAM’s Standard Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. NAM Rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2020/04/RULES-STANDARD.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). A Request to DIY INSURANCE should be sent either by mail to [Insert DIY INSURANCE’s Mailing Address] or by email to [Insert DIY INSURANCE’s Legal Email]. A Request to you will be sent to your email address or regular address associated with your DIY INSURANCE Account. The Request must include:

  1. The name, telephone number, mailing address, email 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.
  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.
  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.

The arbitration hearing (if any) will be held by videoconference, unless either party requests an in-person hearing and the arbitrator agrees. Unless you and DIY INSURANCE otherwise agree, an in-person hearing will be held in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator (in the case of Batch Arbitration). Subject to NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable NAM Rules.

You and DIY INSURANCE 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 shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

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 sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and DIY INSURANCE agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.

The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), in accordance with NAM’s Standard Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. NAM Rules are currently available at https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2020/04/RULES-STANDARD.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). A Request to DIY INSURANCE should be sent either by mail to [Insert DIY INSURANCE’s Mailing Address] or by email to [Insert DIY INSURANCE’s Legal Email]. A Request to you will be sent to your email address or regular address associated with your DIY INSURANCE Account. The Request must include:

  1. The name, telephone number, mailing address, email 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.
  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.
  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.

The arbitration hearing (if any) will be held by videoconference, unless either party requests an in-person hearing and the arbitrator agrees. Unless you and DIY INSURANCE otherwise agree, an in-person hearing will be held in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator (in the case of Batch Arbitration). Subject to NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable NAM Rules.

You and DIY INSURANCE 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 shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Texas and will be selected by the parties from NAM’s roster of Neutrals. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then NAM will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under the section titled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, NAM will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following:

  1. All Disputes arising out of or relating to the section titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief”, including any claim that all or part of this section is unenforceable, illegal, void, or voidable, or that this section has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
  2. Except as expressly contemplated in the section titled “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.
  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 section titled “Batch Arbitration”. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. 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.

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 DIY INSURANCE 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.

Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and DIY INSURANCE agree that in the event that there are ten (10) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against DIY INSURANCE by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), NAM shall:

  1. Administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (or, if between ten (10) and ninety-nine (99) individual Requests are filed, a single batch of all those Requests, and, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests remaining 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 NAM, and NAM 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 DIY INSURANCE.

You and DIY INSURANCE agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM 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.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [Your Company Address], Attn: Legal Department, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

Your notice must include:

  • Your name and address,
  • The email address associated with your DIY INSURANCE account (or if no email address is associated with your account, any valid email address where you can be contacted), and
  • An unequivocal 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, or may enter into in the future, with us.

Modification. You and we agree that DIY INSURANCE retains the right to modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future. Any such changes will be posted at [Your Website URL], and you should check for updates regularly.

Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to DIY INSURANCE at [Your Company Address], Attn: Legal Department, your continued use of the Service or the Terms, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Service, 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 Service,
  • Any communications you receive,
  • Any products sold or distributed through the Service, 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.

DIY INSURANCE will continue to honor any valid opt-outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

Governing Courts. To the extent that the Dispute is not covered by any Arbitration Agreement between you and us, it shall proceed before the state or federal courts located in the State of [Your Preferred State] (except for small claims court actions, which may be brought in the county where you reside).

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and DIY INSURANCE relating to your access to and use of our Services. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.

You agree that these are the Terms for your use of the Services, and you have not entered into any other agreement related to your use of the Services. If we waive or fail to enforce any of the Terms, it doesn’t waive our right to enforce the Terms against you or someone else in the future. You may not assign any rights granted by the Terms to any third party, and any attempt to do so will be null and void. DIY INSURANCE may assign the Terms to any affiliate, subsidiary, or any acquirer of substantially all of the assets or capital securities of DIY INSURANCE.

With the exception of the “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” section above, if any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect, and we will substitute a replacement enforceable term reflecting our intent as closely as possible. To the extent of any conflict between the terms and conditions in the main body of these Terms and the terms and conditions contained below in Annex A (Terms of Service), the terms and conditions in Annex A shall govern and control with respect to any access and use of the websites, applications (including mobile application(s)), and other online products and services provided by DIY INSURANCE.

Insurance Products

The insurance products offered may change from time to time and can be accessed on our Site at the following link: [Your Website Link]. Insurance products are only available to individuals in jurisdictions where they may be legally sold. By applying for insurance products through the Site, you agree to:

  1. Designate DIY INSURANCE as your agent of record.
  2. Authorize DIY INSURANCE to communicate such designation to any insurance carrier, your prior insurance producer, and any other relevant party.
  3. Permit DIY INSURANCE to receive any compensation that an insurance carrier agrees to pay in connection with your purchase of insurance products.

For any insurance product, if any term or condition of these Terms differs from the terms and conditions of the policy, the policy’s provisions will control.

DIY INSURANCE does not provide legal, regulatory, accounting, or tax advice. You should consult your own advisors before making any financial decisions.

The list of insurance carriers that DIY INSURANCE works with to provide services may change over time and can be accessed at [Your Website Link to Carriers].

The insurance premiums quoted on the Site are based on the information provided for your quote.

  • Information provided in your application
  • Exam results
  • Specific underwriting requirements and criteria

Premium rates may vary based on factors such as gender (where permitted by law), underwriting class, coverage amount, and policy duration.

Premiums are guaranteed to remain level for the initial term period of term life policies. Policies can be returned without obligation within 30 days of receipt in most states. A two-year contestability and suicide provision may apply.

Policy descriptions provided in these Terms do not constitute a statement of contract. Please refer to the policy forms for full disclosure of all benefits and limitations.

Except as set forth in this Agreement, all Fees for the Services are non-refundable.

The Referral Program

DIY INSURANCE may, at times, offer you the opportunity to refer friends via our referral program (“Program”). Using your unique personal referral link (“Personal Link”), you can refer friends, family members, or colleagues whom you personally know (collectively, “Friends”). Referred Friends must submit a life insurance application with DIY INSURANCE as described in the referral message.

Referral Program Restrictions

This Program only applies to Legal & General America/Banner Life, and Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Referrers cannot refer themselves, pay a Friend to apply to DIY INSURANCE for coverage, create multiple or fake accounts with DIY INSURANCE, or refer a person more than once. You may not use the Program to violate any law, infringe or violate the rights of any third party, or otherwise act in a manner that is deemed harassing, harmful, illegal, hateful, obscene, or outside the spirit and intent of the Program.

In addition, you may not:

  • (i) Tamper with the Program.
  • (ii) Act in an unfair or disruptive manner.
  • (iii) Use any system, bot, or other device to participate or receive any benefit in the Program.

This includes, but is not limited to, a general prohibition on posting referral codes on any site that offers the referral code to anyone other than Friends—i.e., individuals you personally know.

No purchase is necessary, and you do not need to be an existing DIY INSURANCE customer to participate. The Program may be subject to additional restrictions in some states to comply with applicable laws.

When referring a Friend, you may tell them about DIY INSURANCE and that we offer a great term life insurance product, but you should not discuss any details of the policies, coverage amounts, or rates. You also cannot pay a Friend to apply for coverage.

Referral Program Rewards

By making a Valid Referral (defined below), you will receive a reward subject to the restrictions set forth below.

To qualify as a Valid Referral:

  • Your Friend must not be an existing DIY INSURANCE customer.
  • Your Friend must be a first-time applicant for a policy as a result of your referral.

These rewards will be in the form of an Amazon Gift Card (or as otherwise determined by DIY INSURANCE), which may be subject to the gift card issuer’s terms and conditions. Rewards will not exceed $100 per fiscal year.

Rewards are subject to verification. DIY INSURANCE may delay a reward for investigation purposes. We also reserve the right to refuse to verify and process any transaction for any reason.

Referral Program Liability

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES (DEFINED BELOW) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, ECONOMIC, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) ARISING UNDER, RELATED TO, AND/OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

By participating in the Program, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DIY INSURANCE and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and its and their respective attorneys, officers, directors, employees, insurers, independent contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities incurred in connection with:
(i) Your breach or violation of these Terms;
(ii) Your violation of any law or the rights of any third party; and
(iii) Your use of software robots, spiders, crawlers, or similar data gathering and extraction tools, or any other action you take that imposes an unreasonable burden on our infrastructure.

DIY INSURANCE reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to assume the exclusive defense and control at its own expense of any matter otherwise subject to your indemnification. You will not, in any event, settle any claim or matter without the prior written consent of DIY INSURANCE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE), SHALL BE $100.00.

Referral Program Bulk Distribution (“Spam”)

Each Referrer is the actual sender of the emails and must comply with applicable law. Referrals must be created and distributed in a personal manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends, colleagues, and family members. Bulk distribution of Personal Links, distribution to strangers, or any other unauthorized use of the Program is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.

DIY INSURANCE has no obligation to monitor the Program or any communications you send to third parties. However, DIY INSURANCE may choose to do so and take action to prohibit any misuse of the Program. Referrers who fail to comply with applicable laws, including anti-spam laws, agree to indemnify, defend, and hold DIY INSURANCE harmless against any liabilities, costs, and expenses incurred as a result of such violations.

Referral Program Right to Cancel, Modify, or Terminate

DIY INSURANCE reserves the right to cancel, modify, or terminate the Referral Program at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. We may investigate all referral activities and suspend accounts or withhold rewards if we detect any activity that appears abusive, fraudulent, or in violation of the Program terms or these Terms.

We also reserve the right to disqualify any User from participating in the Program if we have a good faith belief that they have violated these Terms.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

DIY INSURANCE is committed to monitoring, detecting, and preventing transactions that may involve fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal activities. We comply with all applicable laws and regulations and will report any suspicious activity as required.

We reserve the right to deny services to any individual or entity if we have a reasonable suspicion of illegal activity or a violation of applicable law.

  • You have the obligation to determine whether to seek legal or professional advice. We recommend that all Service users review their Identity Theft Protection with a licensed attorney.
  • Different jurisdictions may have different requirements that may affect the enforceability or validity of Identity Theft Protection, and these requirements may change over time. Defend-ID does not ensure that the documents generated through the Services will be enforceable or valid in all jurisdictions or in every instance. You assume the responsibility to seek legal review of your Identity Theft Protection and other Service deliverables.
  • In most states, adjudicatory tribunals (including, without limitation, courts) determine guardianship appointments. While a parent’s choice of guardian may be given deference, there is no guarantee that a parent’s choice of guardian will be upheld by an adjudicatory tribunal. We recommend that you seek legal advice to determine how best to address guardianship-related issues.
  • In most states, adjudicatory tribunals (including, without limitation, courts) determine executor appointments. While your choice of executor may be given deference, there is no guarantee that your choice of executor will be upheld by an adjudicatory tribunal. We recommend that you seek legal advice to determine how best to choose an executor.
  • You should update your Identity Theft Protection and other Service deliverables as your life circumstances change. It is up to you to determine when you need to update your Identity Theft Protection and other Service deliverables. Failure to do so may affect their validity or enforceability.
  • Certain Identity Theft Protection and other Service deliverables may not be valid or enforceable unless you follow specific steps to execute them properly. Failure to follow directions precisely may result in invalid or unenforceable documents. If you have any questions about proper execution, you should seek the advice of a licensed attorney.
  • Certain Identity Theft Protection, including, without limitation, wills and trust documents, can have financial and tax consequences. We do not guarantee that any Identity Theft Protection (including, without limitation, wills and trust documents) will be ideal for any situation or appropriate for you. We recommend that you seek legal or other professional advice to determine what specific tax or financial planning is best for you.
  • Executors, guardians, trust creators, and trustees should consult with a licensed attorney to determine their legal rights and obligations under Identity Theft Protection and applicable requirements. Certain Identity Theft Protection may create financial and tax consequences for executors, guardians, trust creators, trustees, heirs, and beneficiaries.

User-Enabled and/or Directed Communications and Sharing

The Services may allow you to enable and/or direct us to communicate and share information with any person or entity you add to the Services or authorize to have access to and/or receive your Identity Theft Protection (each, a “Contact”).

For example:

  • If you designate a Contact as the trustee of your trust, the Services may automatically send them a message notifying them of their designation and asking whether they accept the role.
  • You may also share your Identity Theft Protection with your Contacts through the Services (e.g., sharing your will with designated beneficiaries or your attorney).

You are solely responsible for all communications and sharing that you make, direct, and/or authorize us to make with your Contacts.

Third-Party Services and Products

At times, we may provide links to third-party companies or services, such as articles, references, referrals, social media content, or promotions.

Disclaimers

WE DO NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE GENERATION AND USE OF INSURANCE DOCUMENTS AND ANY AND ALL SOFTWARE INCLUDED THEREIN, WHICH IS PROVIDED “AS-IS.” YOU USE OUR SERVICES WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Specifically, we do not represent or warrant that any of the “fill in the blank” forms or other materials available through the Services will be free of typographical, technical, or other errors, or be current, accurate, complete, or comply with the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. We do not take on or assume any responsibility for any harm, loss, or corruption to you, your computer, or your data (or any third-party data or computer) from your use of our Services. You assume the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Services. Additionally, you acknowledge that information you store or transfer through our Services may become irretrievably lost or corrupted or temporarily unavailable due to a variety of causes, including software failures, protocol changes by third-party providers, internet outages, force majeure events or other disasters, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, or other causes either within or outside our control. You are solely responsible for backing up and maintaining duplicate copies of any information you store or transfer through our Services.

No Liability for Conduct of Third Parties. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING PARTNERS AND PROVIDERS, THROUGH THE SERVICES, AND INCLUDING ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICES TO WHICH WE MAY PROVIDE LINKS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DIY INSURANCE IS NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD DIY INSURANCE LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. DIY INSURANCE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE GOODS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY SUCH THIRD PARTIES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL (I) WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR SAVINGS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES AND (II) OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BROUGHT OR DAMAGES INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO US DURING THE LAST YEAR PRIOR TO THE DATE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) THE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION ARE REASONABLE AND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ALLOCATE THE RISKS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US (AND OUR AFFILIATES), AND (II) WE AND YOU HAVE RELIED UPON THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH HEREIN IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO AUTHORIZE YOU TO USE THE SERVICES. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED TO YOU IN THE TERMS ARE EXCLUSIVE. Some states may not allow for these limitations of liability. If you live in one of these states, these limits don’t apply to you, and the maximum liability for any of these violations will be $100.00 in the aggregate for any and all claims or the minimum allowed by law, whichever is lower.

You agree that these are the Terms for your use of the Services, and you have not entered into any other agreement related to your use of the Services. We haven’t and don’t create any third-party beneficiary rights by the Terms. If we waive or fail to enforce any of the Terms, it doesn’t waive our right to enforce the Terms against you or someone else in the future. You may not assign any rights granted by the Terms to any third party, and any attempt to do so will be null and void. We may assign the Terms to any affiliate, subsidiary, or any acquirer of substantially all of the assets or capital securities of DIY INSURANCE. If a provision of the Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect, and we will substitute a replacement enforceable term reflecting our intent as closely as possible.

Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release DIY INSURANCE and the other DIY INSURANCE Parties from responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including, but not limited to, claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between users and the acts or omissions of third parties. To the extent you are a California resident, you expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code § 1542 as well as any other statute or common law principles that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

Governing Law

THE TERMS AND YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE GOVERNED BY TEXAS LAW, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

Arbitration Agreement

Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with DIY Insurance and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and DIY Insurance agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, our website, or this Agreement and prior versions of our website, including claims and disputes that arose between you and us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

(i) You and DIY Insurance may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court.
(ii) You or DIY Insurance 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).

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 these Terms, as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and DIY Insurance. If that occurs, DIY Insurance is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and DIY Insurance agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and DIY Insurance 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 forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to DIY Insurance that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to Help@DIY-Insurance.Agency or regular mail to our offices located at [DIY Insurance Mailing Address], Attn: Legal Department. The Notice must include:

  1. Your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your Account (if you have one);
  2. The name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of your counsel, if any; and
  3. A description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized, meaning 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.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DIY INSURANCE 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 DIY Insurance instead agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the section titled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.” There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND DIY INSURANCE AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE SECTION TITLED “BATCH ARBITRATION”, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO 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 section titled “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 section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and DIY Insurance agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of Texas. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This section does not prevent you or DIY Insurance from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

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 the dispute satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and DIY Insurance agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.

The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), in accordance with NAM’s Standard Rules and Procedures (the “NAM Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. NAM Rules are currently available at: https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2020/04/RULES-STANDARD.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). A Request to DIY Insurance should be sentl to Help@DIY-Insurance.AgencyA Request to you will be sent to your email address or regular address associated with your DIY Insurance Account. 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.

The arbitration hearing (if any) will be held by video conference, unless either party requests an in-person hearing and the arbitrator agrees. Unless you and DIY Insurance otherwise agree, an in-person hearing will be held in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator (in the case of Batch Arbitration). Subject to NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any NAM fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable NAM Rules.

You and DIY Insurance 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 shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Texas and will be selected by the parties from NAM’s roster of Neutrals. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then NAM will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with NAM Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under the section titled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, NAM will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to Section titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of Section titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such Section titled “Waiver of Class and 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 Section titled “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 Section titled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. 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.

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 DIY Insurance 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.

Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and DIY Insurance agree that in the event that there are ten (10) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against DIY Insurance by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), NAM shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (or, if between ten (10) and ninety-nine (99) individual Requests are filed, a single batch of all those Requests, and, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests remaining 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 NAM, and NAM 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 DIY Insurance.

You and DIY Insurance agree to cooperate in good faith with NAM 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.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: 1606 Headway Cir, #9013, Attn: Legal Department, Austin, TX 78754, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address associated with your DIY Insurance Account (or if no email address is associated with your account, any valid email address where you can be contacted), and an unequivocal 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, or may enter in the future, with us.

Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in Section titled “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 DIY Insurance 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.

Modification. You and we agree that DIY Insurance retains the right to modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future. Any such changes will be posted at www.diy-insurance.com/terms, and you should check for updates regularly. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to DIY Insurance at 1606 Headway Cir, #9013, Attn: Legal Department, Austin, TX 78754, your continued use of the Service or the Terms, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Service 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 Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service, or these Terms, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) remain in full force and effect. DIY Insurance will continue to honor any valid opt-outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

Governing Courts. To the extent that the Dispute is not covered by any arbitration agreement between you and us, it shall proceed before the state or federal courts located in the State of Texas (except for small claims court actions, which may be brought in the county where you reside).
