Relief’s General Terms of Service

Relief App General Terms of Service

Last Updated: 07/15/2024

These General Terms of Service and User Agreement (these “Terms” for short) are a legal agreement between you, as a prospective or current user of Relief App’s services (“you,” “your,” or “customer”), and Relief Technologies Inc. (“Relief App,” “we,” or “us”) and govern your use of Relief App’s services, including mobile applications, websites, software, and other products and services (collectively, the “Services”).  The Services include our website located at https://www.relief.app/ (the “Site”) and our mobile app made available for download on mobile app stores (the “Application”).

By using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and any additional terms and policies referenced herein that apply to the Services you use, including our [Privacy Notice, CCPA Notice, and Website Privacy Policy] (collectively, “Privacy Policies”), which are incorporated herein by reference and made available at: https://www.relief.app/terms/.

You may use the Services only if you are a resident of an approved US state or the District of Columbia in which the Services are provided, are age 18 or older, have the capacity to form a binding contract with us, and are not a person prohibited from receiving the Services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. Currently we do not operate nor do business in Connecticut, Oregon, Vermont, or West Virginia.  Residents of all other US States and territories are approved to use the Application.  While you may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations, Relief does not verify its Users’ address including state of residence.

We may amend these Terms at any time by posting revised Terms on the Site. You can see when these Terms were last revised by referring to the “Last Updated” legend above. Your continued use of the Services after we have posted revised Terms signifies your acceptance of such revised Terms. No amendment or modification of these Terms will be binding unless in writing and posted to the Site in the ordinary course of our business.

Please read these Terms carefully.  If you do not agree to these Terms, you can not use our Services. Your use of Relief App is the equivalent of your agreement to these Terms.

Section 17 (Arbitration) of these Terms contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver. By agreeing to the Terms, you agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and that you waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions.

  1. Description of Services

The Services include an interactive platform made available through the Application and on our Site, where you may obtain various financial services and products, some of which are provided directly by us.

Relief’s primary function is to help you reduce and settle your debt. After providing the requested information if you meet the requirements (explained in the App) we will generate a proposal.  If you make the required monthly payments in a timely manner and pay the negotiated amount, the balance will be waived by the creditor. Relief does not monitor your payments. This is done directly by the creditor. Relief facilitates your creditor’s acceptance of the offer of settlement, generated by the App. You will be provided with the opportunity to confirm and authorize the terms of the settlement at a substantial savings of the original amount of the debt. After you authorize the amount of the settlement, we will then contact the creditor in your name (which you hereby authorize) and communicate the offer that YOU are making. If an offer is accepted Relief will earn a “Platform Fee” which will compensate Relief App for the use of its proprietary technology.

We are a technology company. We use historical metrics and algorithms to help you calculate an offer to compromise your debt that will be acceptable to the debt holder. We do not provide services that include debt settlement, debt negotiation, or credit counseling.

We are always working on new ways to improve, enhance and expand the Services. We reserve the right to modify or change the Services, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you, and we are not obligated to support or update the Services except as provided under applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party in the event that we exercise our right to modify, change or discontinue any Service.

  1. Compatible Mobile Device Operating System; Mobile Devices Generally

In order to use the Application, you must have a compatible mobile device operating system that meets the specifications established by Relief App in its sole discretion, as described in the Relief App E-Sign Disclosure. In addition to having a compatible mobile device operating system, a mobile device that has been modified contrary to the manufacturer’s or mobile service provider’s software or hardware guidelines, including, but not limited to, disabling hardware or software controls (e.g. “jailbreaking”), is not a compatible device with the Application for purposes of these Terms. The use of any modified mobile device with the Services is a violation of these Terms and is grounds for the immediate termination of your Services, including your Relief App Account, by Relief App without notice to you in Relief App’s sole discretion. You understand and agree you are still subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement you have with any mobile service provider (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) or any app store or marketplace (e.g., Apple, Inc. (iOS), or Google Inc. (Android)), and these Terms do not amend or supersede any of those separate agreements. You understand that such services may provide for fees, charges, limitations and restrictions which might impact your use of the Services (e.g., data use charges, etc.), and you agree to be solely responsible for all such fees, charges, limitations and restrictions. You agree that only your mobile service provider is responsible for the performance and operation of its products and services, including your mobile device and the mobile service provider’s own network. You agree to resolve any problems with your mobile service provider without involving Relief App; Apple, Inc. (iOS); Google, Inc. (Android); or any other operator of an app store or marketplace. You must comply with applicable third party terms when using the Services (e.g., you cannot be in violation of your wireless provider agreement when using the Services).

  1. Arbitration

Any claim, dispute, or controversy ("Claim") between Relief App and you (each a “Party” and together “Parties”) arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or your use of the Services shall be governed exclusively by this Arbitration Clause (the “Arbitration Clause”), which is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1-16) notwithstanding any state law to the contrary and regardless of the nature of the Claims at issue. All Claims must be filed within one year of when the Claim arises unless applicable law prohibits such a restriction. Otherwise, it is permanently barred.

Before starting a lawsuit or arbitration, the complaining party must give the other party written notice describing in reasonable detail the Claim and the supporting facts (the “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice must be mailed to Relief App at: 2000 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Suite 500, Coral Gables, FL 33134. Please include your account number and phone number where you (or your attorney) can be reached. We will mail any Claim Notice to you at the physical address we have on file for you. Once a Claim Notice is sent, the complaining party must give the other party a reasonable opportunity over the next 30 days to resolve the Claim on an individual basis.

Any unresolved Claim must be resolved FINALLY and EXCLUSIVELY by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (except for matters that may be taken to a small claims court). Further, if a Party brings a Claim in arbitration, the other Party may also remove that Claim to small claims court (or the equivalent court with jurisdiction over the Claim) if the amount at issue (exclusive of attorneys’ fees and costs if applicable law so provides) is properly within the jurisdiction of such court. In such case, the opposing Party must provide notice of intent to remove to small claims (or equivalent) court within 30 days after the arbitration demand is acknowledged by the AAA. In any event, if the Claim is removed, appealed or transferred from small claims (or equivalent) court to another court, it shall be subject to arbitration at the election of either Party. The Parties also reserve the right to demand arbitration if the small claims (or equivalent) court case contains any class or representative claims.

Arbitration will proceed on an INDIVIDUAL BASIS, so class actions and similar proceedings will NOT be available.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain any Claim as a class action or on any similar representative basis, nor shall the arbitrator have any authority to consolidate Claims brought by separate claimants. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award all remedies available in an individual lawsuit under applicable law, including, for example, compensatory, statutory and punitive damages (which shall be governed by the same standards that would apply in court), declaratory, injunctive and other equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs.

All determinations as to the scope, interpretation, enforceability and validity of the General Terms Agreement shall be made final exclusively by the arbitrator, which award shall be binding and Final; provided, however, the enforceability of the waiver of the right to bring a Claim on behalf of a class or in a representative capacity shall be determined exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim, or for other information about this organization, contact the association at: AAA, 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, or at www.adr.org.

You may opt out of this Arbitration Clause for all purposes by mailing a written arbitration opt out notice to 2000 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Suite 500, Coral Gables, FL 33134 via Certified U.S. Mail, Return Receipt Requested. The opt out notice will not be effective and you will be deemed to have consented to this Arbitration Clause unless the notice is received by us within 60 days of the date the Arbitration Clause was provided to you. The opt out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You must present the return receipt received from the U.S. Postal Service in the event there is a dispute over whether your opt out notice was sent, or whether it was sent and received in a timely manner, in accordance with this Arbitration Clause. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Clause. Rejection notices sent to any other address, or sent by electronic mail or sent in a manner without return receipt proof of delivery or communicated orally, will not be accepted or effective. Opting out will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Clause, it will not operate to reject any prior or future Arbitration Clause between you and us.

UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AS PROVIDED HEREIN, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHTS TO (I) HAVE A CLAIM DECIDED BY A COURT (EXCEPT SMALL CLAIMS COURT); AND (II) ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING IN COURT.

Relief App will pay any filing, administration, and arbitrator fees imposed by the AAA. Each Party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

Where applicable, if you are covered by the Military Lending Act, then you are not bound by this Arbitration Clause, and to the extent required by the Military Lending Act, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed a waiver of the right to legal recourse under any otherwise applicable provision of state or federal law.

This arbitration provision shall survive: i) the termination of this General Terms Agreement; ii) the bankruptcy of any party; iii) any transfer, sale or assignment of any Services, or any amounts owed in relation to any Services you use, to any other person or entity; or iv) closing of any Services offered to you. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in force except that if the waiver of the right to proceed as a class or in a representative capacity is declared unenforceable in a proceeding between you and us, and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted, this entire Arbitration Clause (except for this one sentence) shall be null and void in such proceeding.

  1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be subject to and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.

  1. Interpretation

If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations contained herein, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in effect. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

No forbearance or delay by either party in enforcing its rights shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that party and no waiver of any such rights or of any breach of any contractual terms shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or of any later breach. You may not assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise. We may assign our rights and privileges under these Terms (including your customer registration), without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or to an affiliate, or in connection with a change in control. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.
