Terms of Use
Last Updated: March 17, 2023
Art NSDRS Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (referred to as "NSDRS", "we", "us" or "our") offer various products and services, including website features, to you when you use our family of websites (including mobile websites) and mobile applications or software associated with them. These offerings are subject to your compliance with our Terms of Use. Our family of websites and applications includes NSDRS.com and the NSDRS mobile application, which are collectively referred to as the "Sites."
Before using the Sites, we recommend that you carefully read and understand these Terms of Use, as they constitute a legally binding agreement between you and NSDRS. If you use the Sites, you are confirming that you are legally competent to agree to and comply with these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, or if you are not legally competent to agree to them, then you may not use the Sites.
It is important to note that these Terms of Use include provisions that govern the resolution of claims between you and NSDRS, including an arbitration agreement, class action waiver, and jury trial waiver, which impact your legal rights. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, and the level of discovery and appellate review is less than in court. Please carefully review the Legal Disputes section for complete details.
Privacy and Security:
To ensure the protection of your information, it is crucial that you review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Use and regulates your use of the Sites. In the event of any inconsistency between the Privacy Policy and these Terms of Use, the latter will take precedence.
NSDRS recognizes the importance of information security and has implemented suitable physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to protect the data we gather from and about our users. Nevertheless, NSDRS reserves the right to disclose any information deemed necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal proceedings, or government requests.
Changes:
NSDRS retains the right to modify these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, and/or the Sites at any time. However, such changes will not apply retroactively to claims for which you or NSDRS have provided notice. By using the Sites following any such changes, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy. The updated versions of the Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy supersede all prior versions, notices, or statements regarding the Sites. If requested, you agree to sign a non-electronic copy of these Terms of Use.
We will notify you of any modifications to these Terms of Use through reasonable means, such as updating the "Last Updated" date at the beginning of these Terms of Use.

Your use of the Sites and any information contained therein is at your own risk. NSDRS explicitly disclaims all warranties and conditions, whether express or implied, including without limitation, warranties and conditions of title, non-infringement, accuracy, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose.

In addition, you must provide notice to NSDRS or NSDRS, pursuant to the process referenced below, of any claim within one year of its accrual or your claim is waived and time-barred.
Legal Disputes
Agreement to Resolve Disputes through Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action Rights
Before resorting to any legal action, you agree to resolve any dispute, claim or controversy (except for those that can be resolved informally as set forth below) between you and NSDRS, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively referred to as "NSDRS") through binding arbitration instead of in court. This applies to any dispute arising from or relating to: (1) the interpretation, breach, termination, or validity of these Terms of Use, and the resulting relationships; (2) your use of any website operated by NSDRS and its affiliated brands; or (3) any products or services sold or distributed by NSDRS and its affiliated brands, or through any website owned or operated by NSDRS and its affiliated brands (collectively, "Covered Disputes"). Covered Disputes will be interpreted broadly.
By agreeing to arbitration, you are waiving your rights to have any Covered Dispute heard in court before a judge or jury, and to participate in any class, collective, or representative action. Additionally, any other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as access to discovery or appeals, may also be unavailable or limited in arbitration.
Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution
NSDRS aims to resolve disputes with its customers informally before pursuing a formal arbitration. To initiate this process, you must send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to NSDRS at collectors@nsdrs.com, containing your full name, address, telephone number, email address, and information that helps identify the transaction at issue. The Notice should also include a detailed description of your dispute, the nature and basis of your claim(s), and the relief sought with a calculation. NSDRS will send a similar Notice to your email address on file with them if they have a dispute with you. You and NSDRS agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute to your satisfaction without the need for a formal proceeding. If NSDRS requests a telephone conference with you to resolve the dispute informally, you agree to participate personally (with your counsel if you are represented). If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice, either party may initiate arbitration, provided they have complied with this mandatory informal dispute resolution process. The statute of limitations and filing fee deadlines will be paused while the parties engage in this process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration administrator will not accept or administer any demand for arbitration unless the claimant has certified in writing that they have complied with this process. A court may enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without first providing a fully completed Notice and participating in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process.
Initiating Arbitration and Arbitration Rules
If a dispute cannot be resolved through the informal process described above, any arbitration between you and NSDRS will be administered by the National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM"), in accordance with NAM's Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures ("NAM Rules") in effect at the time the demand for arbitration is filed with NAM. You can access a copy of the NAM Rules by visiting https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms or by contacting NAM at its National Processing Center located at 990 Stewart Avenue, 1st Floor, Garden City, NY 11530, and email address commercial@namadr.com. If NAM is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties agree to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol ("AAA Rules"). If the AAA is unable or unwilling to apply this Legal Disputes Section, the parties will mutually agree on an alternative administrator to administer the arbitration. If they cannot agree, they will petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitration administrator.
To initiate an arbitration proceeding, you must send the demand for arbitration to the arbitration administrator, which must include a detailed description of your claim, along with the information required in the Notice and the signed certification of compliance with the informal process mentioned above (collectively referred to as "demand for arbitration"). You must sign the demand for arbitration personally. You must also send a copy of the demand for arbitration to NSDRS at collectors@nsdrs.com. If NSDRS initiates arbitration, a copy of its demand for arbitration will be sent to your email address on file with NSDRS.
The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live, or at another location reasonably convenient for you, or at a mutually agreed-upon location. NSDRS reserves the right to request an in-person or videoconference hearing within 14 days after its deadline to file any answer. After that time, NSDRS retains the right to request an in-person or virtual hearing from the arbitrator, which the arbitrator may elect to require along with your participation (with your counsel if you are represented). If a hearing is in person, it will take place consistent with the geographic parameters set forth above.
Arbitration Fees:
All filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will follow the NAM Rules or AAA Rules (if AAA is the designated administrator). If you experience financial hardship, NSDRS will consider your request to reimburse your portion of the arbitration fees promptly as provided in the NAM or AAA Rules.
Arbitrator Authority:
The arbitrator has sole authority to address all claims and arguments regarding the legality, formation, and enforceability of the arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between the parties. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator may award damages and relief to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party's claim, including injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, or other relief available under the law. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator is bound to follow these Terms of Use as a court would. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must provide a reasoned written decision addressing the essential findings and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitration award is binding only between you and NSDRS and has no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding involving a different party, except when the arbitrator considers rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals. The arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the NAM Rules or the AAA Rules (if AAA is the designated administrator) or award fees and costs that could be awarded in court if the arbitrator determines that a claim, proceeding, or defense was frivolous, brought for harassment, for an improper purpose, or in bad faith. The arbitrator shall apply the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after the award is entered.
Sole Exceptions to Arbitration:
Notwithstanding the above, either party may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court, provided that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim and is not appealed or removed to any court of general jurisdiction. Additionally, the parties may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Jury Trial:
Subject to the Terms of Use and applicable laws, you and NSDRS agree to waive the right to a trial by jury and to resolve disputes through arbitration, rather than litigation in state or federal courts of general jurisdiction. The parties agree that arbitration will only be conducted in their individual capacities, and not as a class action or other representative action. Both parties expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. Neither you nor NSDRS may be plaintiffs or class members in any purported collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. Any claims against the other party must be brought in your or its individual capacity, and any declaratory or injunctive relief awarded by the arbitrator will only be on an individual basis, to the extent necessary to provide relief for the individual claim. If a court determines that the class action waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request for relief will proceed in court, but will be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims.
Class Action Waiver:
You and NSDRS agree that any arbitration will be conducted in your individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action. Both parties waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and NSDRS may not be plaintiffs or class members in any purported collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, and any claims against the other party must be brought in your or its individual capacity. If 25 or more individuals initiate arbitrations with NSDRS raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or coordinated or the claims are otherwise coordinated ("Mass Claims"), special additional procedures will apply. Counsel for the individuals and counsel for NSDRS will each select 15 cases per side to be filed in and proceed in arbitration in bellwether proceedings to be resolved individually. Each case will be assigned to a separate and different arbitrator. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the first stage of bellwether proceedings, each side may select another 15 cases per side to be filed in and proceed in arbitration in a second set of bellwether proceedings to be resolved individually. This process will continue until a maximum of 30 individual arbitration proceedings are moving forward at a time, until the parties are able to resolve all of the Mass Claims, either through settlement or arbitration. If these additional mass arbitration procedures apply to your claim, any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether proceeding until your claim is selected for a bellwether proceeding, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court may enforce these mass arbitration procedures and, if necessary, enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations.
Governing Law:
You and NSDRS acknowledge that any dispute between us pertains to commerce and is governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and federal law. This includes state, local, and foreign laws that purportedly limit the availability or scope of arbitration or impose additional requirements beyond or inconsistent with those outlined in the FAA. However, California state law applies where relevant. In the event that legal action proceeds (excluding small claims court), you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in California.
Other:
If any part of the Terms of Use is found to be inconsistent with the rights, duties, and requirements of this arbitration agreement, or if the application of any such provision would alter or make any portion of this arbitration agreement unenforceable, that provision is deemed null and void. The terms of this arbitration agreement will still control.
Termination:
You can continue to access and use the Sites until they are terminated in accordance with these Terms of Use. NSDRS may terminate your account and use of the Sites, and delete your User Content, if you violate or behave inconsistently with these Terms of Use, or for any other reason that NSDRS sees fit. NSDRS can discontinue providing the Sites, or any part of them, at its sole discretion, with or without notice. You agree that termination of your access to the Sites may occur without prior notification and that NSDRS may prevent any future access to the Sites. In addition, you agree that NSDRS will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of access to the Sites. The provisions in the Intellectual Property Rights, User-Generated Content, Acceptable Use Policy, Disclaimer of Warranties, Indemnity, Limitation of Liability, Legal Dispute sections, as well as any other rights and obligations that are reasonably intended to survive such termination, will survive the termination of these Terms of Use. For instructions on deleting your account, refer to the "Registering for the Service" section of our Privacy Policy.
