OUR SERVICE

On evrcycle.com, we allow you to receive insurance quotations from our network, and our partners’ network of insurance service providers, in order for you to choose an insurance producer to assist you with selecting and purchasing an insurance product. Once you provide us with the information required on our form, we match you with appropriate insurance agents, brokers or other companies so that you may more easily acquire insurance from such service providers. We are not an insurance agent or insurance carrier, and hence, we do not issue insurance contracts or bind coverage ourselves, nor do we endorse or recommend any companies or specific types of insurance policies. While we publish content on the Site about insurance, we do not provide insurance, tax or financial advice of any kind. We do not guarantee that any of the insurance agents, brokers and/or companies to whom we forward your application will contact you or agree to provide you coverage. We are a research and comparison service and are not responsible in any way for the conduct of the insurance agents, brokers, discount program representatives and companies that are matched with your insurance application.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, in no event shall we or any of our directors, officers, or employees, or those of our agents, affiliates, or content or service providers (hereinafter associated entities) be liable for damages of any kind whatsoever including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive arising from, or directly or indirectly related to, your use of or inability to use this Site or its content, materials and functions. Without limitation, no liability shall arise from any loss of revenue or anticipated profits or lost business or lost sales, even if we and/or our associated entities are advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall we or our associated entities be liable for any content posted, transmitted, exchanged or received by or on behalf of any user or other person on or through the site.

You hereby acknowledge that the preceding limitation on liability will apply to all content and services available through the Site. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdiction’s liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of (a) the amount in dispute not to exceed the total amount which you paid to us in the twelve (12) months prior to the action giving rise to the liability of (b) USD $100.

LEGAL DISPUTES

YOU AND evrcycle.com AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and evrcycle.com, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “evrcycle.com”) arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. evrcycle.com will provide such notice by email to your e-mail address on file with evrcycle.com and you must provide such notice by email to [email protected].

Any Covered Disputes you have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use shall be resolved by a single impartial arbitrator pursuant to proceedings administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules for resolution of commercial disputes. Any such Claim shall be brought solely by you as an individual and not as part of, or as a representative of, a class. You and we agree that any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the fees (i.e.., filing, hearing, hearing room, abeyance) and you and us will split the arbitrator’s compensation and expenses. For any arbitration initiated by us, we will pay the fees (i.e.., filing, hearing, hearing room, abeyance) and you and us will split the arbitrator’s compensation and expenses. The arbitration shall be held in Chicago, IL. All submissions to the arbitrator, the proceedings and the award shall be confidential. The arbitration shall be conducted on an expedited basis with minimal discovery. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding. The courts of the State of Illinois and/or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over (i) any action concerning the enforcement of an arbitration award, or (ii) if arbitration is not permitted by law, then any Claim you have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use. You agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and you will not object to such jurisdiction and venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or otherwise. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE. evrcycle.com reserves all rights and remedies available to it, in law or equity, with respect to any matter relating to these Terms of Use.

Neither party consents or agrees to any arbitration on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to proceed with an arbitration on a class or representative basis. No arbitration will be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding without the consent of all parties. Any claim or controversy as to the enforceability of this arbitration provision’s restriction on your right to participate in or pursue a class action or classwide arbitration shall be brought only in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois or any State of court located in Cook County, Illinois.

If any portion of this section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this section; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.”
