Upon any such termination, suspension, or other change you continue to be bound by these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such suspension, termination, or other change to the Services shall not be with respect to and shall not affect any products and services, including insurance coverage, you’ve already obtained through the Services prior to the effective date of such suspension, termination or other change.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

Your use of the Services, including your application for the products and services offered through the Services, may involve the transmission to us of certain personally-identifiable information. Our policies with respect to our collection and use of such information are set forth in our Privacy Policy.

Insurance Products

Eligible individuals may apply for insurance products through the Services. Insurance products are only available to people in those jurisdictions in which they may be legally sold. By applying for insurance products through the Services, you are agreeing to (i) designate us as your agent of record, (ii) authorize us to communicate such designation to any insurance carrier, your prior insurance producer, and any other person or entity we determine should be advised, and (iii) permit us to receive any compensation that any insurance carrier agrees to pay to us in connection with your purchase of insurance products. Each insurance product offered through the Services will be subject to further term and conditions applicable to such policy. By purchasing an insurance product, you agree to the applicable terms and conditions of such a policy and agree that in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of such policy and these Terms, the policy’s provisions will control. For information on the insurance-related licenses we hold, please visit Licenses. In addition, though we would like you to give us the opportunity to resolve any complaint you may have about the insurance products offered through the Services, if we are unable to resolve your complaint, you may also report your complaint to the insurance regulator in your state. Contact information for state insurance regulators in the United States may be found at www.naic.org.

We do not provide forms of professional advice of the type that may require additional professional licensing, such as legal, medical, accounting, or tax advice. The Services do not contain and shall not constitute any legal, regulatory, accounting, or tax advice, and you must rely solely upon your own advisors with respect to such advice.

Health Savings Account

If you enroll in a health savings account ("HSA") through Liferaft as may be offered to you by Liferaft, by your employer, or by an insurance broker, then in order to participate in the HSA program and establish your HSA, you will need to complete and submit to us an HSA application process (which includes entering into a custodian/trustee agreement with the custodian bank designated by Liferaft, your employer, or insurance broker, as applicable). Once the application has been reviewed and approved, your HSA will be established and accessible via the Services.

To be eligible to make HSA contributions, you must be covered by a high-deductible health plan ("HDHP") and have no other coverage. An HDHP is a health plan with a minimum deductible set by the IRS that, before that deductible is paid, only covers preventive services. It is your responsibility to ensure you are eligible to make HSA contributions. The IRS sets annual limits on how much can be contributed to your HSA each year. You are solely responsible for making HSA contributions.

Only qualified products and services may be paid from your HSA bank account. As owner of the HSA, you are solely responsible for the completion and submission of all HSA-related tax forms that must be submitted annually to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and for the accuracy of any information you provide to us in connection with your HSA. Your HSA bank account custodian will send you completed IRS Forms 1099-SA and 5498-SA to report your HSA contributions and disbursements.

No products or services you obtain through an HSA or use of the Services may be sold, bartered, exchanged, resold or otherwise transferred to any person for cash or other consideration. Additionally, you may not return any products or services purchased through your HSA for cash or any other form of consideration except in instances where such products or services are being returned for direct exchange of damaged or defective products or services. Liferaft will not credit or refund your HSA with us or seek a credit or refund on your behalf. If you do receive a refund or credit for payments made from your HSA, you acknowledge and agree that you must return such refunded amounts to your HSA and cannot keep such amounts for your personal use.

Health Reimbursement Agreement

If you are eligible for a health reimbursement arrangement (“HRA”) sponsored by your employer (with Liferaft as a third-party administrator), it will be governed by a plan document, which you can request from your employer. Under an HRA, participants can submit eligible expenses for reimbursement, up to the limit established in the HRA document.

Typically, HRA distributions are funded by the general assets of the employer; no amounts are set aside in a bank, trust or any other accounts. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you do not have any rights or interest in any of your employer’s assets or our assets. Only qualified products and services under IRS guidelines are eligible for reimbursement under an HRA. Liferaft reserves the right to verify that HRA funds are used to pay for eligible products and services you or your eligible dependents purchase or receive during your applicable coverage period. Such verification actions may include requesting supporting information from you and/or your eligible dependents, contacting your and/or your eligible dependents’ medical providers, or taking any other actions which we determine in our reasonable judgment is required in order to verify the eligibility of such purchased products and/or services. You agree to promptly comply with any reasonable requests from us in connection with such verification processes. No products or services you obtain through an HRA or use of the Services may be sold, bartered, exchanged, resold or otherwise transferred to any person for cash or other consideration. Additionally, you may not return any products or services purchased through your HRA for cash or any other form of consideration except in instances where such products or services are being returned for direct exchange of damaged or defective products or services. Liferaft will not credit or refund your HRA account or seek a credit or refund on your behalf. If you do receive a refund or credit for payments made from your HRA account, you acknowledge and agree that you must return such refunded amounts to your HRA account and cannot keep such amounts for your personal use.

Tax Considerations

You acknowledge that (i) the Liferaft’s Services do not constitute banking services, (ii) Liferaft accounts are not insured by any government agency, and (iii) the Services are not subject to banking regulations. Use of certain Services may (but are in no way suggested to or guaranteed to) produce tax savings to you when HSA contributions are deducted from your wages on a pre-tax basis and may not be subject to federal taxes, certain state income taxes, Social Security (FICA), and/or Medicare, and you should consult your tax advisor to determine any tax implications which may arise from your use of the Services.

Misuse of Services

You acknowledge and agree that certain of our offerings (e.g., the HSA and HRA programs) are governed by federal law and may be enforced by certain government agencies. If you refuse to comply with these Terms or provide false or fraudulent statements regarding the products and/or services you purchased under the applicable plan, you acknowledge that in addition to any other legal remedies we, your employer or, or insurance broker may have, you may additionally face disciplinary action from your employer or, the relevant governmental authorities may pursue remedies or actions against you.

This section informs you of your rights when receiving electronic Communications.

You acknowledge that you can access the electronic Communications in the designated formats described herein.

Withdrawing Consent

South Carolina and Michigan Residents

South Carolina and Michigan require us to inform you about the following prior to your agreeing to conduct business with us electronically:

Your Obligations and Authorizations

You do not need to register with us to visit and view the Services. However, to access certain password-protected areas of the Services and to apply for the products and services offered through the Services, you must register for an account. When registering for an account through the Services, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify us immediately in the event you become aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. We will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

In order to access or use certain aspects of the Services, we may need your authorization to (i) collect information provided by you through the Services, including certain personal information, personal health information, signatures, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, and other information, materials, and content necessary for us to provide the products and services offered through the Services to you, and (ii) retrieve and manage information of yours maintained by certain third-party institutions (“Your Data”). Please refer to our Privacy Policy for an explanation of how we may use Your Data.

You represent and warrant that the portion of Your Data you provide us is accurate and complete, and that you are authorized to submit it to us without any obligations on us, including but not limited to the payment of fees. We have no liability or other responsibility for inaccuracy or incompleteness, or your inability to use the Services due to such inaccuracy or incompleteness. You are and will be responsible for the consequences of any instructions you provide us and that we follow. You hereby authorize us to: (i) store Your Data in accordance with applicable laws, and (ii) use any signatures or other materials you provide us in order to provide you the products and services offered through the Services.

Fees and Subscription Plans

To the extent the Services or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you will be required to select a payment plan and provide Liferaft information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to Liferaft that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with Liferaft or the Payment Processor (as defined below), as applicable, of any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree that if you purchase a subscription plan, your plan will automatically renew on a monthly basis and your payment instrument will automatically be charged at the start of each new subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. You hereby authorize Liferaft (through the Payment Processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. To avoid future subscription charges, you must cancel your plan days before the beginning of the following calendar month.

If you dispute any charges you must let Liferaft know within sixty (60) days after the date of the charge. We reserve the right to change Liferaft’s prices. If Liferaft does change prices, Liferaft will provide notice of the change through the Services user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at Liferaft’s option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. [Liferaft may choose to bill through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Liferaft thirty (30) days after the mailing date of the invoice, or the Services may be terminated.] Unpaid fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection. You shall be responsible for all taxes associated with Services other than U.S. taxes based on Liferaft’s net income.

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, payments for any insurance products and subscription plan are nonrefundable and there are no credits for partially used periods. Following any cancellation by you, however, you will continue to have access to the applicable product through the end of the subscription period for which payment has already been made.

Notwithstanding any amounts owed to Liferaft hereunder, LIFERAFT DOES NOT PROCESS PAYMENT FOR ANY SERVICES. To facilitate payment for the Services via bank account, credit card, or debit card, we will transmit your payment information to applicable third-party payment processors (each, a “Payment Processor) of our insurance carrier partners. In addition, we use a third-party Payment Processor, Moov Financial, Inc. (“Moov”), to enable members to establish and maintain a Moov Account through which you may link existing Payment Methods to initiate Transactions (collectively, the “Moov Services”). In conjunction with your acceptance of these Terms and your use of the payment functions of the Services, you hereby agree to and accept the applicable Payment Processor’s terms and conditions, privacy policy, and all other relevant agreements (including the terms of the Moov Platform Agreement, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms, in connection with your use of the Moov Services). You hereby authorize the applicable Payment Processor to store and continue billing your specified payment method even after such payment method has expired, to avoid interruptions in payment for your use of the Services. We shall not be responsible or liable to you with respect to any payments you make through the Services or your use of any Moov Services, including any bugs, defects, or issues relating thereto. Capitalized terms used in this section and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Moov Platform Agreement.

Arbitration

1. Agreement to Arbitrate. This section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Liferaft’s services and/or products, including the Services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim, except as permitted herein. You and the Liferaft agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards (together the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Arbitration Agreement, and as of the date of these Terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. 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. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. You have a right to have the arbitration conducted via telephone, or as an in-person hearing in your hometown area (if you live in the United States) or another location that is reasonably convenient to you.
2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS – CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE LIFERAFT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND LIFERAFT AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU AND LIFERAFT WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING AN ACTION IN A COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE OR CONSERVATORY RELIEF, OR, IF THE CLAIM RELATES TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION. YOU MAY INSTEAD ASSERT YOUR CLAIM IN “SMALL CLAIMS” COURT, BUT ONLY IF YOUR CLAIM QUALIFIES, YOUR CLAIM REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND YOUR CLAIM REMAINS ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-REPRESENTATIVE AND NON-CLASS BASIS. 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).
3. Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, Liferaft will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the JAMS Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you.
