Effective Date: February 8, 2024
Last Updated: October 4, 2024
Introduction
Welcome to Keenly, a digital service platform operated by Kikoff, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Keenly”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us”). The details contained in this document
(collectively referred to as the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of any products
and services offered by Keenly (collectively, the “Service”), including all software
provided as part of our Service (the “Software”). By accessing or using the Service, you
acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms,
including our arbitration agreement and privacy policy.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY, AS THEY CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR AND OUR
LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN
YOU AND US. THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT REQUIRES DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU
AND US (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) TO BE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR
THROUGH BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN
COURT. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED (1) YOU AND WE WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO
PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, AND (2) YOU AND WE WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO SEEK RELIEF
(INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ON AN
INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

protect your information.
11. Data Broker Opt Out
If you use the Data Broker Opt Out Service, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
a. On your behalf, Keenly will make reasonable efforts to have your personal
information that you provided to us removed or suppressed (“opt-out”), in whole or in
part, from approximately 100 third-party databases and/or websites (the “Data
Brokers”), a list of whom is available upon request. You understand that we will only
be able to submit opt outs for the information you provide to us.
b. You expressly authorize Keenly, its agents, and its employees, to act as your
personal representative or authorized agent to submit opt outs to Data Brokers and
otherwise implement the Service, including by acting to:
i. obtain information on your behalf;
ii. submit your personal information to Data Brokers;
iii. take any other actions that Keenly believes is reasonably necessary to opt you
out of a Data Broker.
c. The extent of the opt-out will vary based on the Data Broker, and its terms and
practices. It is possible that some Data Brokers may contact you to confirm your
request and/or to request additional information; and in such an event, our ability to
remove your information will depend on your response to them.
d. You can personally opt out to these Data Brokers to the same extent that Keenly
submits the opt out on your behalf. Keenly makes no claims that it has any ability to
opt you out of any Data Broker beyond your ability to do so on your own behalf.
e. Keenly is under no obligation to and will not pay any fees to a Data Broker in order to
opt you out.
f. You must give us authority to act only on your behalf and not on behalf of any
person other than yourself. If you give us information that we know, discover, or
suspect is false or inaccurate, or relates to another person that is not accurate, we
may suspend or terminate your access to the Service and reserve the right to, where
we deem it appropriate, report such conduct to law enforcement and other third
parties, and to cooperate in the investigation of such conduct.
g. We are not liable to you for the manner in which a Data Broker treats or uses your
personal information. A Data Broker’s treatment or use of your information will be
subject to the Data Broker’s policies, if any, and not these Terms or our Privacy
Policy.
h. While we will make reasonable efforts to remove your information, the success of
the Service is ultimately dependent on the cooperation of the Data Brokers. We
cannot and do not guarantee that the Service will be effective, that opt out requests
will be honored by Data Brokers, or that all opt outs will be equivalent (e.g., some
Data Brokers may remove all of the information included in the opt out submitted,
while other may remove only some or none at all). We are not responsible for the
actions or inactions of any Data Broker, and make no representations, warranties or
guarantees related to such. You expressly agree that we will not be liable to you
under any circumstances for any actions or inactions of the Data Brokers, or for our
failure, for any reason, to effectuate opt outs on your behalf.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION; JURY TRIAL & CLASS
ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.This Dispute
Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as
the “Arbitration Agreement.” Company is always interested in resolving
disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly
and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at help@Kikoff.com. If
such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send
to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to
Company should be sent to Kikoff Inc, PO Box 40070, Reno NV 89504 (“Notice
Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and
(ii) set forth the specific relief sought. The amount of any settlement offer made by
Company or you shall remain strictly confidential. If Company and you do not resolve
the dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Company
may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” and
“our” mean (1) Kikoff, each of its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, and
any of their employees, officers, directors, agents and representatives; and (2) any third
party that you name along with us as defendants in a single proceeding. The Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “FAA”), governs the interpretation and enforcement
of this Arbitration Agreement.
You and we agree that any and all past, present or future disputes, claims or
controversies that have arisen or may arise between you and Company, whether arising
out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the
Service, your account, any advertising or any other aspect of the relationship or
transactions between you and us (collectively, “Claims”), shall be resolved by an
arbitrator through final and binding arbitration, rather than by a judge or jury in court, in
accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. The term “Claim” has the
broadest reasonable meaning and includes, without limitation: (1) initial claims,
counterclaims, crossclaims and third-party claims; (2) disputes based upon contract,
negligence, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance,
common law and equity; (3) data breach or privacy claims; and (4) claims arising out of
or relating to our written or oral communications with or about you. Claims are subject
to arbitration even if they arise out of or relate to actions, omissions, transactions, facts,
or conduct that occurred before this Arbitration Agreement took effect. However, this
Arbitration Agreement will not apply to any Claim that was already pending in court
before this Arbitration Agreement took effect (although it will apply to new parties or
new Claims that are added subsequently in the court action).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following disputes are not required to be arbitrated:
(1) disputes that are within the jurisdiction of a small claims court (or an equivalent
court). You or we may bring an action in small claims court or, if an arbitration demand
has been made, instruct the arbitration administrator to close the case because the
dispute should be decided by a small claims court. However, if the dispute is
transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to a different court, it will be
subject to arbitration. Moreover, if you or we bring a counterclaim or cross-claim that is
for more than the small claims court’s jurisdiction, the entire dispute must, if you or we
choose, be resolved by arbitration; (2) disputes about the validity, enforceability,
coverage or scope of this Arbitration Agreement or any part thereof (including, without
limitation, the Class Action Waiver), which are for a court and not an arbitrator to
decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of
these Terms of Service as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide; (3) this
Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of
federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief
against us on your behalf; and (4) if any Service or product you obtain from us contains
its own arbitration agreement, that agreement (and not this one) will govern claims or
disputes arising out of or relating to said Service or product.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS
AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY
NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS WITH CLAIMS OF
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY UNLESS ALL PARTIES OTHERWISE AGREE IN
WRITING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY,
INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL
PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF
NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). THE VALIDITY AND
EFFECT OF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY A
COURT, AND NOT BY THE ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ARBITRATOR.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER: IF YOU OR WE ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU AND WE WILL NOT
HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE
CLAIM.
Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the
American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s
Consumer Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings
(collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For
information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org or call 800-778-
7879. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at
the AAA’s consumer arbitration page,
https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_2.pdf. If AAA cannot or will
not serve, and the parties are unable to select an arbitrator by mutual consent, a court
with jurisdiction will select the administrator or arbitrator, who must agree to abide by
all of the terms of this Arbitration Agreement (including, without limitation, the Class
Action Waiver). Any arbitrator must be a practicing attorney with ten or more years of
experience practicing law or a retired judge. If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting
Claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion to compel
arbitration with the court which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party
prosecuting the Claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding in accordance with
the administrator’s rules and procedures. If there is any inconsistency between this
Arbitration Agreement, on the one hand, and the AAA Rules or other provisions of this
Agreement, on the other hand, this Arbitration Agreement will control.
The arbitrator must follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. The
arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable
statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator is
authorized to award all remedies permitted by the substantive law that would apply in
an individual court action, including, without limitation, punitive damages (which shall
be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive,
equitable and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief
and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual
Claim). Any finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only
to that arbitration. No finding, award or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact
the arbitration of any Claim. If the amount in controversy is more than $100,000, any
party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the administrator,
which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the appealed award. Unless applicable law
provides otherwise, the appealing party will pay the appeal’s cost, regardless of its
outcome. However, we will consider any reasonable written request by you for us to
bear the cost. The arbitrator’s award (or the award of the panel if there is an appeal) will
be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA, and may be entered as a
judgment by any court having jurisdiction.
Unless we and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a
reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to
travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a
location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less,
we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the
basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an
in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the
right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in
which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision
sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is
based.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration
Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules. However, if you tell us in writing that you
cannot afford to pay the Arbitration Fees charged by the AAA or other arbitration
administrator and that you were unable to obtain a waiver of fees from the
administrator, and if your request is reasonable and in good faith, we will pay or
reimburse you for all or part of the fees charged to you by the arbitration administrator
and/or arbitrator. The parties shall also bear the fees and expenses of their own
attorneys, experts and witnesses unless otherwise required by applicable law, this
Agreement or the administrator’s rules. If the arbitrator determines that any party’s
claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress or harass the other party,
the arbitrator may award sanctions in the form of fees and expenses reasonably
incurred by the other party if such sanctions could be imposed under Rule 11 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any
ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of
all parties. This Arbitration Agreement is binding upon and benefits you, your respective
heirs, successors and assigns, and us and our respective successors and assigns.
This Arbitration Agreement shall survive (1) any termination, cancellation or closure of
your Account, (2) any cessation of your relationship with us; (3) any breach, default, or
repayment in full; (4) any termination of credit privileges, and (5) any bankruptcy to the
extent permitted by applicable bankruptcy law. If any portion of this Arbitration
Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall
nevertheless remain in force, subject to two exceptions: (1) if a determination is made
that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on
appeal, then the Arbitration Agreement (except for this sentence) shall be void in its
entirety; and (2) if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed
notwithstanding the Class Action Waiver, and that determination is not reversed on
appeal, then the public injunctive relief Claim will be decided by a court, any individual
Claims will be arbitrated, and the parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive
relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded.
RIGHT TO REJECT: You may reject this Arbitration Agreement if you do not want it to
apply. Rejection of this Arbitration Agreement will not affect the remaining parts of this
Agreement. To reject this Arbitration Agreement, you must send written notice of your
rejection within 30 days after the date that we approve your application for an Account.
You must include your name, address, and Account number. The notice of rejection
must be mailed to the Notice Address provided above. This is the only way that you can
reject this Arbitration Agreement. If an Account is jointly owned, one owner’s rejection
of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to be a rejection by all joint owners. In all
other circumstances, your rejection of this Arbitration Agreement will not be deemed to
be a rejection of this Arbitration Agreement by any person or entity other than you. We
offer a number of different products and services to our customers.
If you reject the Arbitration Agreement in this Agreement, that will not affect any
arbitration agreement that may exist between you and us, now or in the future, in
connection with other products or services you obtain from us. Any such arbitration
agreement will remain in force unless you separately reject it in accordance with its
terms.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we
make any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than ministerial changes
or a change to the Notice Address) while you have an active Account, you may reject
any such change by sending us a written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the
change to the Notice Address provided above. If you reject any future change, you will
still be obligated to arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the terms of
the arbitration agreement that existed immediately prior to the changed agreement that
you rejected.YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT
MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR
IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
Jury Trial Waiver: If for any reason a Claim is not arbitrated, you and we expressly and
knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY to the fullest extent permitted by law.
This means that a judge, rather than a jury, will decide disputes between you and us.
