Swiftly Terms of Use
Last Updated: May 2024
ATTENTION: THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION THAT REQUIRES MANDATORY ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS ACTION) BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND THE COMPANY (AS DEFINED BELOW) ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR THROUGH A CLASS ACTION. FURTHER, IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.
Acceptance of the Terms of Use
These terms of use are entered into by and between You and Swiftly Systems, Inc. and including our affiliates, agents, assigns and our third-party services providers ("Company," "we," or "us"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, collectively, "Terms of Use"), govern your access to and use of the Swiftly Website, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through www.swiftly.com, and includes your access and use of any of the mobile applications and online ordering (e-commerce) services, or any of our other products or services linking to these Terms of Use (each a “Site” or collectively the “Sites”).
Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Sites. By using the Sites you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at www.swiftly.com/resources/privacy-policy, incorporated herein by reference.

Changes to the Terms of Use
We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Sites thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set out in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on the Sites.
Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of revised Terms of Use means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are expected to check this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.
Accessing the Site and Account Security
We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Sites, and any service or material we provide on the Sites, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Sites are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Sites, or the entire Website, to users.

Mobile Application Site Users
With respect to each mobile application made available by us for downloading (each an "App"), and without limiting any other terms and conditions herein, by downloading the App or creating an account on the App, you are expressly agreeing that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and any updates or amendments to these Terms of Use. Check these Terms of Use in the App or online periodically to access our most current Terms of Use. To use the App you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the mobile service.

You consent to such automatic upgrading on your mobile device and agree that the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, as may be revised from time to time, will apply to all such upgrades. You further understand and agree that, if the App on your mobile device is not upgraded, either automatically or manually by you, following the release of an upgraded version of the App, you may be unable to access, utilize or otherwise take full advantage of features, functionality, patches, offers, discounts or rewards enabled by the upgraded version of the App. Similarly, you acknowledge and agree that some updates may not support older model devices resulting in the App no longer working on your device. Company shall have no liability to you with respect to your continued use of the App if not upgraded upon release of a new version or your inability to use the App following such an upgrade. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the App or any copy thereof, and Company and its third party licensors or suppliers retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the App (and any copy of the App).

Dispute Resolution
Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach our support department at info@swiftlysystems.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or these Terms of Use directly through consultation with our support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law
The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), regulates the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and preempts all state laws. If the Federal Arbitration is found not applicable to any issue that arises from or relates to this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be governed by the law of your state of residence.
Binding Arbitration
If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including the Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Sites or our services (including the Online Ordering Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Terms of Use or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a “Demand for Arbitration” that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at Attn: Legal; info@swiftlysystems.com.
To the extent, the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
The parties understand that absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, the arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, the United States of America and you and our company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Jury Trial Waiver
By entering into these terms, you agree that, with respect to any claim(s) within the scope of the terms concerning and rising from arbitration terms, you and our company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.
Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver
The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND OUR COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims:
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
30-Day Right To Opt-Out
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on our company’s written notice of your decision to opt-out to Swiftly Systems, Inc ---Attn: Legal; info@swiftlysystems.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Swiftly Systems, Inc. will not be bound by them.
Changes To This Section
We will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Platform, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Platform or sent to you.
Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.
Survival
This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or cessation of use of the Platform or the Services.
Attorneys’ Fees
You acknowledge and agree that each party shall pay the fees and costs of its own attorneys, experts, and witnesses incurred in connection with any arbitration or court proceeding between the parties notwithstanding any prevailing parties’ attorneys’ fees provision a part of any statute under which you may bring a claim.
Choice of Law
The Terms of Use shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the state of California. The validity, effect, and enforceability of the arbitration provisions of the Terms and of the waiver of class action lawsuit and waiver of class-wide arbitration, if challenged, are to be determined solely by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SITES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
