2. Because the text message service involves obtaining phone numbers, it is recommended that BetterNOI make its Privacy Policy available at the same time as the Text Alert Terms & Conditions. This can be done with a hyperlink, similar to the Application Portal. 4

IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR A CLASS MEMBER. If You, Your Community and/or BetterNOI, LLC elect to arbitrate a claim or dispute, the electing party must notify the other party or parties in writing.

This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of text alert services, including if you subsequently opt out of text alert services. This arbitration provision applies to and runs to the benefit of your, Your Community and BetterNOI, LLC’s respective assigns, successors, executors, heirs and/or representatives.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules and procedures in effect at the time arbitration is started. You may obtain a copy of those rules and procedures at www.adr.org. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

If any term of this arbitration provision, other than the class action waiver described above, is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms are severable and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
