16.1 PRE-ARBITRATION DISPUTE RESOLUTION
The 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 us at [email protected]. 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 should be sent to Quilted, LLC, ATTN: LEGAL, 642 Coney Island Avenue, PMB 553, Brooklyn, NY, 11218 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and You do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, You or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding.
16.2 PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AND NON-INDIVIDUAL RELIEF
YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

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).

PRIVACY POLICY
Quilted, LLC and/or the Quilted mobile application (“Application”) and/or the website (“Website”) and/or the Features (as defined in the accompanying Terms of Service or End User License Agreement), and/or the licensors (collectively, the “Company”), values the privacy of the individual and has created this policy (“Privacy Policy”) to demonstrate its firm commitment to transparency about how the Company treats the information of its users of our Website, Application, and/or Collected Data (as defined below) (collectively, “Services”). Because the Company gathers important information from our users, the Company has established this Privacy Policy to communicate the Company’s information gathering and dissemination practices. The Company reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy in accordance with the terms herein and reflected in the Terms of Service or End User License Agreement.
What Information We Collect
We collect three categories of information from you (“Collected Data”).
What We Use Information For
Collected Data may be used in the following ways:
At any time, you may choose whether to receive certain communications related to your Account through the Application settings. You may also at any time choose to unsubscribe from communications related to Company or Company partner news, updates, promotions, events, products, or services by selecting the “unsubscribe” link included in such communications (often at the bottom of the communication) or email us at [email protected] requesting to unsubscribe from such communications. However, you cannot unsubscribe from communications necessary for the maintenance and proper use of your Account as outlined in the End User License Agreement.
We may disclose any information (other than billing information) to outside parties. For example, recruiters and/or corporate account holders (this would likely include management level users and/or any human resources team associated with the corporate account holder) may view certain information. Otherwise, we will not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information without your consent; however, some of your personally identifiable information (such as your name) may be utilized on the Application to allow other users to identify you. However, we may release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may assign any and all User-Generated Content (as defined in the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement) and/or personal customer information to a successor entity should the Company be the subject of a merger, acquisition or any other similar such transaction in which the control of the Company substantially changes. Individual records may at times be viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issue, or as may be required by law. Registered users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user registration and password. The Company may aggregate data in an anonymous fashion to generate reporting for internal analysis or distribution as it sees fit and may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer such reporting for promotional purposes and/or monetary gain or make it available to universities or other research institutions for educational or research purposes. The Company may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers and provide such information to third parties. We will request your approval prior to selling, trading, or otherwise making your personally identifiable information and information about you available to outside parties for purposes other than assisting us in operating our Application, conducting our business, or servicing you.
Third-Party Links/Transactions
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our Application, including through the implementation of advertisements. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our Application and welcome any feedback about these sites.
Furthermore, when users interact with one another, especially in the context of the buyer/seller relationship, users’ emails, first and last names and other info may be transferred to other affiliated third-party businesses. The Company shall under no circumstances be responsible for what buyer/seller or other affiliated third-party businesses do with users’ information. Thus, some of your personally identifiable information (such as your name) may be utilized on the Application to allow other users to identify you.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Because we value your privacy, we have taken the necessary precautions to comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent. However, we may disclose User-Generated Content to any governmental agency, body, and/or department lawfully sought upon presentation to us of a valid subpoena, warrant or other such document.
Residents of the State of California, under certain provisions of the California Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third-parties to which the Company has disclosed certain personally identifiable information as defined under California law during the preceding year for third-party direct marketing purposes. You are limited to one request per calendar year. In your request, please attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response. You may request the information in writing at Quilted, LLC, ATTN: LEGAL 642 Coney Island Avenue, PMB 553, Brooklyn, NY, 11218, or by email at: [email protected].

This online Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through our Website and Application, and not to information collected offline.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page.
Public Forums
We may offer chat rooms, message boards, bulletin boards, or similar public forums where you and other users of our Application can communicate. The protections described in this Privacy Policy do not apply when you provide information (including personal information) in connection with your use of these public forums. We may use personally identifiable and non-personal information about you to identify you with a posting in a public forum. Any information you share in a public forum is public information and may be seen or collected by anyone, including third-parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose to publicly post or share through the Application.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We have implemented security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and are not responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personally identifiable information. In the unfortunate event that your “personally identifiable information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any Applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is compromised, we may notify you by email (at our sole and absolute discretion) to the last email address you have provided us in the most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system as well as for the legitimate needs of law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation. From time to time, we evaluate new technology for protecting information, and when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.
Contact and Opt-Out Information
You may contact us as at [email protected] if you: (a) have questions or comments about our Privacy Policy; (b) wish to make corrections to any personally identifiable information you have provided; (c) want to opt-out from receiving future commercial correspondence, including emails, from us or our affiliated companies; or (d) wish to withdraw your previously provided consent to sharing your personally identifiable information with others. We will respond to your request and, if applicable and appropriate, make the requested change in our active databases as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that we may not be able to fulfill certain requests while allowing you access to certain benefits and features of our Application.
