costs and
attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorized
licensee, or
by an online service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service
provider relying

certain
material or activity infringes your or another's copyright, please consult with a qualified attorney.
13. Links. Links provided within the Services will allow you to connect to other websites and

States. Unless otherwise specified on any Services, the Services are intended to promote only those Compass
services
and products that are sold by Compass in the United States; Compass makes no representation that the
materials in
the Services or the products described thereby are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If
you access the
Services from outside the United States, be advised the Services may contain references to products and
services that
are not available or are prohibited in your country. All visitors to and users of the Services are
responsible for compliance
with all local laws applicable to them with respect to the content and operation of the Services. This
English-language
set of terms is Compass' official statement of its terms of use for all Services. If there is an
inconsistency between
these English-language set of terms and its translation into another language, the English-language Terms
set forth
herein shall prevail.
16. Dispute Resolution. YOU AND COMPASS AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT
OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A
CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO
MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Any dispute between you and Compass and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals,
successors, assigns,
subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “Compass”) arising from or relating
to these Terms
and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from
these Terms,
including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively,
"Covered
Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration in Cook or DuPage County, State of Illinois as
administered by the
American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, in effect on the date
thereof. Prior to
initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced
written notice of its
intent to file for arbitration. Compass will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail aCompassress on
file with
Compass and you must provide such notice by e-mail to legal @compassholding.net with “Legal Dispute”
appearing in
the subject line. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual
discussions
any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may
initiate
arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
If, however,
you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of
litigation,
Compass will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary
to prevent
the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you, but under no circumstances more than fifty percent
(50%). Within
sixty (60) days of the final judgment, and if the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the
arbitration are
frivolous, you agree to reimburse Compass for all fees associated with the arbitration that Compass paid on
your behalf,
which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in
equity and any
award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment
in any
court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or
exemplary
damages, the right to which each party hereby waives, and the arbitrator will apply applicable law and the
provisions
of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for
judicial review.
Compass and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only.
Neither
Compass nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private attorney
action and
the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general
basis. If any
provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision
will be
severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class,
representative or
private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim
arising from
or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For
purposes
of this section, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9
U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).
17. Taxes. You are solely responsible for any and all duties, taxes, levies or fees (including any
sales, use or
withholding taxes) imposed on or in connection with these Terms or the Services by any authority.
18. Notice to California Residents. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California residents
are entitled
to the following specific consumer rights information: The provider of the Services is Compass Holding, LLC
15 W580
N. Frontage Road, Burr Ridge, Illinois 60527. To file a complaint regarding the Services or to receive

or by telephone at 916.445.1254 or 800.952.5210.
19. General Provisions. No delay or failure on the part of Compass to enforce any part of these
Terms will
constitute a waiver of any of Compass' rights under these Terms whether for past or future actions on the
part of any
person. Neither the receipt of any funds by Compass nor the reliance of any person on Compass' actions will
be deemed
to constitute a waiver of any part of these terms. Only a specific, written waiver signed by an authorized
representative
of Compass will have any legal effect whatsoever. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be
illegal, invalid
or unenforceable under present or future law, such provision will be deemed to be deleted without affecting
the
enforceability of all remaining provisions. These Terms will inure to the benefit of and will be binding
upon each party’s
successors and assigns. These Terms and the rights granted hereunder may be assigned by Compass but you may
not
assign them without the prior express written consent of Compass. The headings and captions contained herein
are
for convenience only.

report, sell, or otherwise disclose or use any and all Other Information, provided that such information
does not
personally identify you. The Other Information that we collect generally will not personally identify
you or be
correlated to you individually for external purposes. Where we combine Other Information with Personal

You can visit the account section of the
Compass Online

6. How We Protect Your Personal Information.
Compass has implemented reasonable
safeguards
designed to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of Personal
Information
provided or collected through our Compass Online Services. With respect to payment card information and
other
Personal Information collected through our Compass Online Services, we use Secure Socket Layer
Technology or
SSL to encrypt or scramble that information during transmission. Unfortunately, no system or online
transmission
of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and you should always take appropriate security measures to
protect
your Personal Information, including ensuring that you have up-to-date antivirus software. If you
believe that your
Compass account or any information you provided to us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately
through
the Contact Us information provided below.
7. Our Policy on Cookies, Interest-Based Advertising and “Do Not Track”.
Cookies are
small text
files placed in your computer browser directories to store your information about your use of the
Compass Online
Services and your activities online (collectively, “Cookies”). A Cookie will typically contain the name
of the domain
(internet location) from which the Cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (i.e. when does it
expire), and a
value, usually a randomly generated unique number. We use Cookies so that we can improve your online
experience
– for example, by remembering you when you come back to visit us, and making the content you see more
relevant
to you. Cookies also enable us to track online purchases made through the Compass Online Services. If
you do
not wish to receive Cookies or wish to manage when you accept Cookies in general, you may set your
browser to
reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required
to accept
our Cookies, if you set your browser to reject Cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features
and
functionality of the Compass Online Services. The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to
prevent your
browser from accepting new Cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new Cookie, or
how
to disable Cookies altogether. If you block or otherwise reject our Cookies, you may lose some of the
functionality
of our site. For example, you may not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout,
or use
any products and services that require you to sign in. The Compass Online Services also use Cookies and
other
technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons and clear GIF files (collectively, “Data Collection
Technologies”) to
help manage our online advertising program. These Data Collection Technologies are provided by our ad
management partners and other third parties.
In addition, we may use these Data Collection Technologies to track the actions of users of the Compass
Online
Services, to measure statistics of our marketing efforts, and to deliver advertisements on the Compass
Online
Services that may be more relevant to individual consumers and that will improve the consumer experience
on the
Compass Online Services. For example, if you give us your zip code and we thus know you live in an area
where
a particular in-store promotion is going on, we may deliver to you an advertisement that is specific to
that
promotion. If you want to “opt out” of receiving our emails, please email us at:
unsubscribe@compassholding.net
and insert “Opt-Out” in the subject line. Please permit us thirty (30) days to remove your email
address.
8. Social Networking And Third Party Sites.
When you link to the Compass Online
Services through any
social networking or third party sites, applications or services, please remember that you are bound by
the privacy
policy of the social network or third-party site, application or service, and we do not control and are
not responsible
for the privacy practices of such sites. You should consult the privacy policy of such sites to
determine the
information practices of those sites.
9. Children’s Online Privacy.
Compass recognizes the importance of protecting the
privacy of
children. We will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the
age of
thirteen (13). When a user discloses personal information on the Compass Online Services, the user is
representing
to us that he or she is at least thirteen (13) years of age. If a child under the age of thirteen (13)
has provided us
with personally identifiable information through the Compass Online Services, we ask that a parent or
guardian email
us at legal@compassholding.net, and we will delete the child’s information from our records.
