Terms And Conditions

Purchasing and using EIN services means you have accepted the Terms listed here:

I understand that someone 18 years of age or older must be present at the service location for the entire duration of the installation, and that failure to have someone available may result in a fee. EIN will make all efforts to meet your requested installation time and date, but in the event that it must be changed to meet the available installation schedule you will be contacted with at least 24 hours’ notice. I agree that I am responsible for all charges on my account and that account termination or decisions can only be made by the account holder.

This Terms of Service & Terms of Use (“Agreement”) along with the EIN Acceptable Use Policy, the EIN privacy policies, and the other documents incorporated by reference herein, set forth your obligations, EIN’s obligations, and the rules you must follow when using the easyinternetnow.com portal (“Site”) and/or EIN High-Speed Internet, EIN High Speed Internet Business Edition, (“Service(s)”).

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. This is a binding agreement between you (the Account holder), and the EIN entity that provides the Service. Your registration, payment for, or use of the Service constitutes your agreement to be bound by the charges, terms, and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including those incorporated by reference.

IMPORTANT: THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PARAGRAPH 13 REQUIRES ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

Third, EIN will give our customers clear information about the experience they can expect when using the Services. Fourth, EIN will provide consumer high-speed Internet access service.

Changes to this Agreement
From time to time, we may change this Agreement. We will provide you with notice of material changes via either your Account contact e-mail address or any other email address you provide, posting online at, recorded announcement, bill message, bill insert, newspaper ad, postcard, letter, or call to your billed telephone number or U.S. mail. It is your responsibility to check for any such notices. Your continued subscription to the Service after the effective date of the change constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

EIN High-Speed Internet Service
Service Description. EIN High Speed Internet Service (referred to as “the Service”) is composed of narrowband or broadband access to Internet, and offers you a capability for acquiring or retrieving information from; generating, storing, transforming, processing, or utilizing information on; or making available information to other Internet end points connected directly or indirectly to EIN’s network. Because the Internet consists of multiple interconnected networks and most Internet end points (e.g., websites and other content providers) are not directly connected to EIN’s network, EIN must connect to and exchange traffic with other networks to provide its subscribers the capability of uploading data to or downloading data from Internet end points that are connected to those networks. To that end, EIN has entered into commercially negotiated agreements to exchange traffic with such networks on mutually agreeable terms. Consistent with its longstanding practice, EIN does not warrant that it will establish or expand the connections between its network and other networks except on such mutually agreeable terms. To the extent, EIN is unable to reach agreement on terms of interconnection or network expansion with these other networks it could affect your service. EIN, therefore, makes no promise express or implied that you will be able to upload data to or download data from Internet end points connected to other networks at any particular speed.

Like the other networks that make up the Internet, EIN’s is a shared network, which means that the transmission links and other network resources used to provide the Service are shared among EIN’s subscribers. EIN manages this network for the benefit of all users based on a variety of factors, and our technical expertise.

Speed, Service Capability Speed Ranges, and Conditions that May Impact Service Performance. The term speed is commonly used as a shorthand way to describe the capacity at which a particular broadband internet access service can transmit data. This capacity is typically measured in the number of kilobits, megabits or gigabits that can be transmitted in one second (Kbps, Mbps or Gbps). Some applications like a short email without attachments or basic web browsing do not require high service capability speeds to function optimally, while other activities like transferring large data files can be performed faster with higher-speed services. Your service capability speed may not be suitable for some applications, particularly those involving real-time or near real-time, high-bandwidth uses such as streaming video or video conferencing.

Because service performance varies on an end-to-end basis, EIN’s service capability speeds are limited to and measured between, your location and a point on EIN’s network, which constitutes only one segment of the end to end transmission path connecting the end user to Internet websites or content providers. End-to-end performance of your Service depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to): the number of subscribers simultaneously using the network; customer location; destination and traffic on the Internet; Wi-Fi connectivity; interference with high frequency spectrum on your telephone line; wiring inside your premises, office or apartment; the capacity or performance of your devices or modem; the server with which you are communicating; internal network management factors (including Overhead, which refers to the various control and signaling data required to achieve the reliable transmission of Internet access data); and the networks you and others are using when communicating. In addition, your use of other EIN services that share the capacity of your broadband connection with the Service may impact the amount of capacity available for your use of the Service at that particular time and thus affect the performance of the Service. Consequently, EIN does not guarantee the performance of your service on an end-to-end basis.

IP Addresses.

EIN High Speed Internet and EIN Business High Speed Internet Services are provided with a dynamic Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, a static IP address, multiple static IP address service (as applicable), or a privately managed IP address utilizing CGN (Carrier Gateway NAT) technology, at EIN’s sole discretion. Static IP addresses are not available with all speeds. The dynamic IP address is a single Internet address intended for use with a single Member Account and any associated Authorized Users. The static IP address or multiple static IP address is intended for use with a single computer or a network of computer/servers. You may not use the Service in a manner that is inconsistent with these intended uses. EIN High Speed Internet services will support both IPV6 and IPV4 Internet addresses; however, to reach IPv6-exclusive Internet content, some of your equipment may require upgrades or replacement.
Availability.The Service is not available in all areas, and may not be available at certain speeds (or at all) at your location, even if our initial testing indicated that your line qualified for a particular speed or Service.

Service/Site Changes.EIN reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service or Site (including rates and charges), temporarily or permanently. If EIN makes a change that would have a material impact on your Service, EIN will give you notice. Your continued subscription to the Service after the effective date of the change constitutes your acceptance of the changes and the associated terms and conditions. In lieu of notice and website posting, EIN may instead, at its sole discretion, require customers to enter into an agreement with EIN regarding temporary material changes.

Conversion from DSL to Broadband High-Speed Internet.When EIN is able to provision Broadband High-Speed Internet Service at your location, we may, in our discretion, discontinue your DSL service and make available to you EIN Broadband High Speed Internet at the then applicable Broadband rates, terms and conditions, which may differ from your previous DSL Service rates, terms and conditions.

Your new EIN Broadband High-Speed Internet will require different customer premises equipment (“CPE”). When you are selected for conversion, we will provide at least thirty days’ notice of the discontinuation or suspension of your service via e-mail, direct mail, bill page message, or bill insert. Thirty days after such notice, we may at our sole discretion, either disconnect your service or temporarily suspend your service for up to fifteen days.

Data Usage. EIN does not cap or throttle data usage unless an account is delinquent in payment.

Registration and Membership
When you complete the registration process for the Site or the Service, you become the “Account” holder. You must be 18 years or older to be an Account holder. Customers of the Service may also create up to ten “Authorized Users”. Each Authorized User will also be required to accept this Agreement. The Account holder is responsible for all activity associated with the Account and any of its Authorized Users, including all fees and charges, whether the charges are incurred by the Account holder or the Authorized Users.

All information that you provide to EIN must be accurate, including your name, address, credit or charge card numbers and expiration dates, and any payment information (“Registration Data”). You are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date and must provide changes promptly to the EIN Customer Service by calling 1-866-280-0048.

Pricing

Plans, Bundle Discounts.

EIN is a no contract service. In the event that we add additional services to our packages or plans, we reserve the right to offer these new services to existing customers. We may offer Bundle Discounts based on the purchase of 2 or more packages or plans, should they be available to the customer.

Offer of Additional Plans and Options.

EIN offers multiple tiers of service for Residential and Business Customers. Availability of the service is limited to the locations that have the network capability to sustain their speeds.

Autopay Agreement

EIN automatically applies the initial payment method to the customer account as an autopay feature. Each monthly payment will be made using the payment method on file from the original payment date unless the customer removes themselves or requests to be removed from autopay status. Customers can also change their default monthly payment method through their ‘My Account’ page or by contacting EIN support.

By providing this information you certify that you are the card owner or have the authorization to charge on this card or are an authorized signer on the supplied checking account. Additionally, you authorize EIN to charge the amount of your monthly EIN bill to the debit/credit card or eCheck you have designated, and you understand your debit/credit card or eCheck will be charged on the due date of each bill. You have the right to stop the deduction by notifying EIN at least five (5) business days prior to the deduction date. By registering for the EIN AutoPay Service, you agree to these Terms and Conditions and release EIN from any and all claims arising from your use of the EIN AutoPay Service. Your authorization and the EIN AutoPay Service will remain in full force and effect until canceled by you, your financial institution or one of the EIN family of companies. If you close the account that is registered for the EIN AutoPay Service without specifically requesting cancellation of the EIN AutoPay Service registration for that account, your authorization for the EIN AutoPay Service to charge the remaining amounts owed for that account to your designated debit/credit card or eCheck will continue in effect for 90 days after your account is closed unless you specifically request cancellation of the EIN AutoPay Service prior thereto. Additionally, if, within 90 days of closing your account with EIN, you re-establish an account that was previously registered for the EIN AutoPay Service, your prior EIN AutoPay Service registration will carryover to the re-established account unless and until you specifically request cancellation of the AutoPay Service. In some instances, continued use of the EIN AutoPay Service is a requirement for the underlying account with EIN, and termination of the EIN AutoPay Service will result in closure of the underlying account.

Auto Pay Note: If you pay an invoice manually and save your credit card for future payments you're authorizing us to add that card as a secondary for your auto pay. If you would like to remove any cards saved to your profile, or would like to know what cards are saved email [email protected], text 405.896.3561 or login to the customer portal.
EIN will attempt to charge any saved card we have on your account if your initial auto pay fails. We will attempt on different days and times. If you want to remove any saved cards from your profile contact us. Text 405.896.3561 or email [email protected] You're NOT required to be on auto pay.

Termination or Cancellation of Service

Equipment Return: Upon service cancellation you must return your modem/router, instructions will be provided. Failure to return equipment will result in a $175 charge. We will attempt to collect this charge from any card we have saved on your account. Make sure check box is unchecked if you want to make payment without us saving your card information.

Cancellation of Service by Customer.

The customer is responsible for contacting EIN and canceling their service. There are no termination fees, but the customer is responsible for any remaining balance on their account. Refunds of existing monthly payments will not be authorized unless the reason for termination is related to EIN no longer being able to service the location.

Suspension/Termination by EIN.

EIN respects freedom of expression and believes it is a foundation of our free society to express differing points of view. EIN will not terminate, disconnect or suspend Service because of the views you or we express on public policy matters, political issues or political campaigns. EIN may, however, immediately terminate or suspend your Account and Authorized Users, and all or a portion of your Service without notice if: (a) you provide false or inaccurate information to EIN; (b) you (or an Authorized User associated with your Account ID) violate this Agreement or the EIN Acceptable Use Policy; (c) you (or an Authorized User associated with your Account ID) engage in conduct that is a violation of any law, regulation or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws); or (d) if you engage in conduct that is threatening, abusive or harassing to EIN or its employees, including, for example, making threats to physically harm or damage employee or company property; frequent use of profane or vulgar language; or repeatedly contacting our customer service representatives for reasons that do not pertain to our provisioning, maintenance, repair or general servicing of your Service after you have been asked to stop such conduct. You may also be subject to suspension or termination pursuant to Section 6 herein entitled “Payment”.

If we terminate or suspend your Service, your license to use any software provided in connection with the Service is also terminated or suspended (as applicable). If your Service is terminated, EIN has the right to immediately delete all data, files, and other information stored in or for your account without further notice to you. You must pay all charges for the Service through the date of termination. Should you wish to resume Service after any suspension, a restoral of service fee may apply. This fee is in addition to all past due charges and other fees.

If you mistakenly provide a debit card number, instead of a credit card number, you authorize all charges described herein to be applied to such debit card unless and until you provide a credit card number. In the event you are enrolled, or later enroll, in an automatic payment or electronic funds transfer plan, you agree that all sums described herein may be charged, at EIN’s option, to the account number provided for such automatic payment or electronic funds transfer plan.

Late Payment & Failure to Pay. Acceptance of late or partial payments (even if marked “Paid in Full”) shall not waive any of EIN rights to collect the full amount due. Notice of any disputes must be in writing and received by us within 30 days after you received your bill or you will waive any objection. EIN may suspend or terminate Service if your payment is past due. If EIN suspends your service for non-payment, you must pay all past due amounts in order to have service restored, and you may also, at EIN’s sole discretion, be required to pay a service restoral fee. In the event you fail to pay EIN or EIN is unable to bill charges to your credit card, EIN may assign unpaid late balances to a collection agency. You expressly authorize, and specifically consent to allowing, EIN and/or its outside collection agencies, outside counsel, or other agents to contact you in connection with any and all matters relating to unpaid past due charges billed by EIN to you. You agree that, for attempts to collect unpaid past due charges, such contact may be made to any mailing address, telephone number, cellular phone number, e-mail address, or any other electronic address that you have provided, or may in the future provide, to EIN. For attempts to collect unpaid charges, you agree that in addition to individual persons’ attempting to communicate directly with you, any type of contact described above may be made using, among other methods, pre-recorded or artificial voice messages delivered by an automatic telephone dialing system, pre-set e-mail messages delivered by an automatic e-mailing system, or any other pre-set electronic messages delivered by any other automatic electronic messaging system.

EIN will not issue refunds or credits after the expiration of this 60-day period, except where required by law or regulation. Any amounts refunded in the form of bill credits, cash payments or any other form shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes, fees and surcharges that were originally paid on such amounts. Credit amounts, such as customer loyalty rewards, that do not represent a refund of, or a discount to, the price paid for any good or service will not result in the refund of any tax, fee, or surcharge previously paid by the customer.

Refunds. Any amounts refunded in the form of bill credits, cash payments or any other form shall be inclusive of all applicable taxes that were originally paid on such amounts.

Equipment & Software
Other than the equipment and/or software provided to you by EIN for use with the Service, you must provide all equipment, devices and software necessary to receive the Service. Any equipment or software that was not provided to you by EIN is not the responsibility of EIN, and EIN will not provide support, or be responsible for ongoing maintenance of such equipment. Any EIN-provided modem, router or gateway will be either a new or a fully inspected and tested refurbished unit. Regardless of whether the equipment used to access your Service (modem, gateway, etc.) is owned by you or EIN, EIN reserves the right to manage such equipment for the duration of your Service, and retains exclusive rights to data generated by the equipment. Neither you nor a third party may change, interfere with, or block access to equipment data or settings.

EIN will repair or replace damaged equipment as EIN deems necessary. You understand that repair or replacement of equipment may delete stored content, reset personal settings or otherwise alter the functionality of your equipment. If you own the equipment or the equipment is damaged due to your intentional acts or negligence as determined by EIN, you will be responsible for the price of repair or replacement.

Additional Equipment Information for EIN High Speed Internet Customers.EIN will make available to you certain equipment (including a modem/gateway located inside your premises) collectively referred to as “Equipment”), required for your Service. EIN does not retain ownership of the modem/gateway and the Equipment becomes the property of the consumer at the time of installation.
The Equipment requires electrical power from your premises to operate, which you are responsible for providing.

Note that Equipment without battery backup will not function in the event of a loss of customer supplied power. This will disrupt the Service as well as any additional services that use the connection for transport (e.g. Voice over IP including e911). EIN will have no liability for loss of any service(s) in the event of interruption of customer supplied power, with or without battery backup present in the EIN equipment.

Tampering with the Equipment, or attempting to connect the equipment to other hardware, will be treated as damage due to your intentional acts or negligence. You agree that you will use the equipment only for its intended use, and not for any other purpose (such as on another EIN network, or on another provider’s (non-EIN) network).

You agree to notify EIN immediately, in writing or by calling the EIN customer support line, if the Equipment is stolen or if you become aware at any time that Services are being stolen or fraudulently used. When you call or write, you must provide a detailed description of the circumstances of the theft, including documentation of theft or fraudulent use of the Equipment or Services (such as a copy of a police report). You will be responsible for all charges incurred until you report the theft or fraudulent use. You will also be responsible for stolen Equipment not owned by you, however, EIN may in its sole discretion waive or reduce charges upon submission of documentation of theft or other circumstances. Failure to provide notice to EIN of theft in a timely manner may result in the termination of your Services and additional charges to you. Unless notified otherwise by EIN, after you report the theft or fraudulent use of the Services, you will remain responsible for paying your monthly fees for Services not stolen or fraudulently used.

Account Security
You will receive a password associated with your Member ID upon completing the Site/Service registration process. You agree to keep confidential all passwords, IP addresses, and computer names and are solely responsible for any liability or damages resulting from your failure to maintain that confidentiality. You are also solely and fully responsible and liable for all activities that occur under your password, Member ID or IP address. You agree to do all of the following:

(a) immediately notify EIN if you suspect any breach of security such as loss, theft, Public Use or unauthorized disclosure or use of your Member Account or Authorized User, password, Member ID, or any credit or charge card number provided to EIN.

(b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session; and (c) periodically change your password. There is a risk that other users may attempt to access your computer through the Internet or connected networks. You acknowledge this risk as inherent to the shared nature of the Service and you agree to take full responsibility for taking adequate security precautions and safeguarding your data from loss.

Referral Services
EIN may offer referral programs where existing customers and new customers are eligible for discounts or credits toward their accounts for the act of referring another account to the Service. EIN reserves the right to terminate any referral program and its benefits at any time and by its sole discretion.

Reasonable network management practices that EIN may adopt include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) a cap on data usage; (ii) a modification of a customer’s serving facility or service technology, and/or (iii) a modification of or a limitation on a customer’s data throughput speed or data consumption.

A very small percentage of customers use the Service in a way which creates harm to the network, compromised capacity, degradation in network performance or service levels, or which may adversely impact access to or the use of the Service by other customers. In the event that EIN adopts a network management practice which will apply to your Service, we will provide you with a notice, by web posting, bill insert, email, letter and/or other appropriate means, which describes the network management practice, explains how it will work, and explains how it could impact your Service.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION WITH EIN BY BINDING ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. Consumer Customers: See Arbitration sections below. Business Customers: See Schedule 1.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing our customer service department at [email protected]. In the unlikely event that EIN’s customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if EIN has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, EIN will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from EIN to at least the same extent as you would be in court.

In addition, under certain circumstances (as explained below), EIN will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator’s award and will pay your attorney (if any) twice his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees if the arbitrator awards you an amount that is greater than what EIN has offered you to settle the dispute.

Arbitration Agreement

EIN and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claimsbetween you and EIN. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

References to “EIN,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Service or Site under this or prior Agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies, can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EIN ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to EIN should be addressed to: Office for Dispute Resolution, EIN, PO Box 27390, Overland Park, KS 66225 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If EIN and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or EIN may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by EIN or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or EIN is entitled.

After EIN receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $75,000. (The filing fee currently is $200, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you are unable to pay this fee, EIN will pay it directly upon receiving a written request at the Notice Address). The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at , by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. (You may obtain information that is designed for non-lawyers about the arbitration process at .) The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless EIN and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, EIN will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse EIN for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

If, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of EIN’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then EIN will: pay you the greater of the award or $10,000 (“the alternative payment”), whichever is greater; and pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of attorneys’ fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs), that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (“the attorney premium”).

If EIN did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney premium, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or costs. Although under some laws EIN may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, EIN agrees that it will not seek such an award.

The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND EIN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.Further, unless both you and EIN agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if EIN makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during the period of time that you are receiving Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.
