United archives complies with the requirements of the U.S. Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 ("ESIGN") and Uniform Electronic Transactions Act ("UETA"), which should make your electronic signature on notary contracts legally binding. By using the E-Sign Solution, you agree to transact business using electronic communications, electronic records, and electronic signatures rather than using paper documents to communicate, keep records, and sign. For avoidance of doubt, by using the E-Sign Solution, you agree to use an electronic signature in lieu of a hand-written signature on paper. You acknowledge and agree that legislation such as ESIGN and UETA have provided electronic signatures the legal equivalence of handwritten signatures on paper, and thus should make your e-signature legally binding in the United States and analogues where statutes have been adopted. However, United archives does not make any warranties or guarantees as to the enforceability of ESIGN and UETA for transactions and documents. You agree not to electronically sign a document without first reading and understanding it, thus demonstrating that you are able to access the electronic information contained within the document before signing. You acknowledge and agree that per ESIGN you are not required to use our E-Sign Solution, or electronically sign documents in another way, if you prefer not to do so.

United archives verifies that the signature belongs to a particular user by using your personal information, for example your Account information, login credentials, email verification, IP address capture when a user signs a document, and group password mechanisms that United archives may provide. Any user using an electronic signature on United archives must have an Account. United archives uses commercially reasonable standards governed by our internal policies to ensure user information is secure. However, United archives does not guarantee the identity of any user who signs a document and makes no warranties or guarantees as to the identity of users using the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that United archives may create an audit trail on your transactions to provide you with a transactions history. We track and timestamp various information from the time a document is uploaded by a Company for a Borrower’s signature to when it is signed by a Borrower. You acknowledge and agree that any audit trails created by United archives may not be admissible in a court of law. We do not warrant or guarantee that any audit trails are legally binding.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless United archives, and respective suppliers, licensors, officers, directors, employees and agents from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of (i) your use of the Service; and (ii) your breach of these TERMS and/or applicable law. United archives reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify United archives, and you agree to cooperate with the defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of United archives. United archives will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. This provision does not require you to indemnify United archives, and respective suppliers, licensors, officers, directors, employees or agents for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Services.

These TERMS shall become effective on the date that you first register, access, or use the Services. These TERMS shall continue in full effect until terminated, as set forth herein.

You may terminate your relationship with us at any time by unregistering your Account or discontinuing your use of the Services. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Services (including your Account) at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Services in violation of these TERMS.

You understand that any termination of your Account may involve deletion of any data associated with your Account from our live databases.

United archives will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any termination of your rights under these TERMS, including for termination of your Account or deletion or preservation of such data. Even after your rights under these TERMS are terminated, all provisions of these TERMS which by their nature should survive, will survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

You acknowledge and agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to these TERMS, your use of the Services, or to any products or services sold or distributed by United archives, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that you will not bring any class action claims in small claims court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these TERMS as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to United archives at admin@uacrs.com The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, United archives will pay them for you. In addition, United archives will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, United archives will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the address listed in Section 20 (Questions or Concerns) within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, and the email address you used to set up your Account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this TOS Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with United archives.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

In any circumstances where the parties are permitted to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of the state courts in San Francisco County, California and federal courts located in the Northern District of California for such purpose.
