Information Collected Through Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers, including, but not limited to, those service providers referenced above, use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Site through your computer, tablet, or mobile device. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. When you visit the website again, the cookie allows the website to recognize your browser. Cookies may store unique identifiers, user preferences and other information.

Advertising

We may use how you browse and shop in order to show you ads for CNU that are more relevant to your interests. We may use cookies and other information to provide relevant interest-based advertising to you. Interest-based ads are ads presented to you based on your browsing behavior in order to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest-based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our Site or third-party sites not owned by CNU.

We belong to ad networks that may use your browsing history across participating websites to show you interest-based advertisements on those websites. The Site recognizes the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt-out and this will be indicated by the “Do Not Sell of Share My Personal Information” button switched on and the “Targeted Advertising” button switched off when clicking on the Cookie Preferences link at the bottom of the website. You can also manually indicate your preferences via the Cookie Preferences link at the bottom of the website.To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.

Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, the Site does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.

You also can opt-out of receiving interest-based ads from us by clicking on the “ad choices” icon near the advertisement and selecting the marketing activities of which you would like to opt-out.

You can opt-out of Cookies set by specific entities by following the instructions found at these links:

Please note that if you choose to opt out, you may continue to see ads on our Site, but they will not be based on how you browse and shop.

THIS ARBITRATION SECTION DOES NOT APPLY IF (1) YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OR A DEPENDENT OF SUCH A MEMBER COVERED BY THE FEDERAL MILITARY LENDING ACT AND (2) OUR DISPUTE INVOLVES THE EXTENSION OF CONSUMER CREDIT

Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and CNU agree that each of the parties intends that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

Initial Attempt at Resolution of Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates in any way to the Site, the Services, Content, Submissions or these Terms (collectively, “Dispute”), excluding any claims relating to any of CNU’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth below under Injunctive Relief), then both you and CNU agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. CNU’s notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. However, if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this sub-Section to send such notice. Your notice to CNU must be sent to: CashNetUSA, Attn: Legal Department, 175 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60604. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, CNU and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or CNU to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and CNU, in each party’s sole discretion, are not comfortable.

Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Arbitration. If CNU is unable to resolve a Dispute as set forth in the section above within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then either party may submit the Dispute to formal arbitration in accordance with this sub-Section.

Upon expiration of the applicable sixty-day period and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the Dispute has a claimed value of not more than $250,000, then the arbitration will be heard and determined by a single neutral arbitrator who is a retired judge or a lawyer with not less than fifteen (15) years’ experience as a practicing member of the bar in the substantive practice area related to the Dispute, who will administer the proceedings in accordance with the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. If the Dispute has a claimed value of more than $250,000, or if CNU elects, in its sole discretion, to bear the costs of arbitration in excess of those that would occur for a proceeding before a single neutral arbitrator, then the arbitration will be heard and determined by a three-member panel, with one member to be selected by each party and the third (who will be chair of the panel) selected by the two party-appointed members or by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator or arbitration panel, as the case may be, will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms, will determine any Dispute according to the applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award.

You can obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information as follows:
By calling AAA at: 800.778.7879
By visiting the AAA website at http://www.adr.org

Nature, Limitations, and Location of Alternative Dispute Resolution. In arbitration, as with a court, the arbitrator must honor these Terms and can award the prevailing party damages and other relief (including attorneys’ fees). However, WITH ARBITRATION (A) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (B) THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (C) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. All parties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. Each party is responsible to pay the applicable administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require CNU to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section to be enforceable, then CNU will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. Discovery will be permitted pursuant to the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator’s decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim of the Dispute, and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award (if any) is based. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered in or by any court that has jurisdiction over the parties pursuant to Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act. No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Provision.

Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH DISPUTE AROSE OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Arbitration Section will not apply to any legal action taken by CNU to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Site, Services, any Content, Submissions and/or CNU’s intellectual property rights.

Small Claims Matters are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring qualifying claim of Disputes in small claims court, subject to the Section Federal and State Courts in Cook County, IL below.

No Class Action Matters. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator selected pursuant to the Arbitration sub-Section above holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement in the Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution Section above to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to the Section directly below.

Federal and State Courts in Cook County, IL. Except to the extent that arbitration is required in Forums for Alternative Dispute Resolution Section above, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute may only be instituted in state or federal court in Cook County, Illinois. Accordingly, both you and CNU consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

If any provision of these Terms or their application in a particular circumstance is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of these Terms, or the application of such provision in other circumstances, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
