ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 15, you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND TFG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. Please note, you can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate by contacting info@fingyms.com within 30 days of first accepting these terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement. (See Section 15 for additional information).

We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. TFG may change the fees for any feature of our Services, including additional fees or charges, if TFG gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. TFG, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of TFG’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.

You authorize TFG to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you select as described in these Terms or published by TFG, to the payment method you specify.

If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize TFG to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums.

THE SERVICES AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS, INFORMATION, OR ADVICE MADE AVAILABLE PURSUANT TO THE SERVICES, (COLLECTIVELY, THE "SERVICE CONTENT") IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NONE OF THE SERVICE CONTENT SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVICE. SERVICE CONTENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVICE.
TFG DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE RESULTS OF OUR SERVICES. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON OUR SERVICES IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK AND YOU ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL RISK ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, AS ALLOWABLE TO THE EXTENT OF THE LAW. OUR SERVICES SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A RECOMMENDATION OR OFFER TO SELL OR PURCHASE ANY PARTICULAR INVESTMENT. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR USING YOUR OWN JUDGMENT TO ASSESS INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TFG AND ITS STAFF IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICES. TFG EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY GUARANTEE OF RESULTS OR OUTCOMES OF ANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OR ADVICE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATED TO THE USE OF OUR SERVICES AND SERVICE CONTENT.
OUR SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TFG DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO OUR SERVICES AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE.

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and TFG in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 15.2, you and TFG agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND TFG ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
2. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 15.1, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and TFG will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting TFG. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
4. Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail ("Notice of Arbitration"). TFG's address for Notice is: The Financial Gym, LLC, 134 W 25TH ST FL 2, New York, NY 10001. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or TFG may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or TFG must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, TFG will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by TFG in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $10,000.
5. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, TFG will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Manhattan County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse TFG for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
6. No Class Actions. YOU AND TFG AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and TFG agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
7. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If TFG makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to TFG's address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TFG's address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with TFG will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
8. Enforceability. If Section 15.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16.1 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
9. Opt Out. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of these Terms. If you do not want to be subject to this Dispute Resolution provision, you may opt out of this Dispute Resolution provision by notifying TFG in writing of your decision by sending, within 30 days of the date you receive these Terms, an electronic message to info@fingyms.com, stating clearly your full name and intent to opt out of the Dispute Resolution provision. Should you choose not to opt out of this Dispute Resolution provision within the 30-day period, you and TFG will be bound by the terms of this Dispute Resolution provision. You have the right to consult with counsel of your choice concerning this Dispute Resolution provision. You understand that you will not be subject to retaliation if you exercise your right to opt out of coverage under this Dispute Resolution provision.
General Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and TFG regarding your use of our Services. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word "including" means "including but not limited to". If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
1. Governing Law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles. You and TFG submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Manhattan County, New York for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. We operate our Services from our offices in New York, and we make no representation that Materials included in our Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please write to TFG at info@fingyms.com. Depending on your current carrier plan, you may incur charges for SMS text messages, video chat, and e-mail and you agree not to hold TFG liable for any charges incurred. You acknowledge that any terms between you and any third-party provider (such as, for example, Apple®, Android™, or Verizon) create no obligation or responsibility on the part of TFG, and that TFG is not responsible for any failure of warranty by any such third party. TFG cannot control certain factors relating to message delivery. You acknowledge that, depending on your mobile carrier’s service, it may not be possible to transmit a text message or other electronic communication to you successfully. TFG has no liability for transmission delays or message failures. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about our electronic communications practices.
