User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of User’s username and password and is solely responsible for all usage and activity on or through User’s Account, including use of User’s Account by a third party authorized by User.

In addition, My Birthday Bonus reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate any person or entity’s Account and access to the Services at any time.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH USER
My Birthday Bonus reserves the right to communicate with the User using the contact information provided by the User, including, but not limited to, sending emails to User at the email address and sending texts to User at the mobile number, and to otherwise communicate with User for purposes related to the Affiliate Program, including, but not limited to, informing User of applicable changes or additions to the Affiliate Program, Website, Application or Services, or to this Agreement, the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
CONTROL OVER CONTACTS AND COMMUNICATIONS; COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND GUIDANCE
My Birthday Bonus provides User tools and User is solely responsible for lawfully and responsibly using those tools. User understands and agrees that User is solely responsible for determining the content of User’s Communications, determining whether to send Communications, determining which persons the User will send the Communications, determining when to send Communications, and all other decisions regarding the sending of Communications to User’s contacts.
User represents and warrants that User complies with all applicable state, federal, or international laws, including, but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, and all rules, regulations, or guidance promulgated by the Federal Communication Commission or the Federal Trade Commission thereunder, including, but not limited to 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200 (the “TCPA”), the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended, and all rules and regulations promulgated by any federal agency thereunder, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, the Telemarketing Sales Rule, all laws or rules pertaining to the National Do Not Call Registry, and all other state and federal laws, rules and regulations pertaining to deceptive trade practices (collectively, “Applicable Law”) and all applicable current guidance and best practices promulgated by the CTIA-The Wireless Association, the Mobile Marketing Association, or other industry organizations which may be formed from time to time (“Industry Guidance”). For purposes of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, User, and not My Birthday Bonus, is the initiator of the Communications to User’s contacts. User represents and warrants that User will use the Services in accordance with Applicable Law and Industry Guidance, that User’s collection, processing, transfer, and use of any personal information is in accordance with Applicable Law and in accordance with User’s posted privacy policy (of which User must have one), and User will not send any Communications prohibited by Applicable Law or Industry Guidance.
User represents and warrants that the owners of the telephone numbers to whom You initiate Communications have consented or otherwise opted-in to receive such Communications from You, in accordance with and as required by Applicable Law. User will not submit any telephone numbers or other contact information to My Birthday Bonus, and will not initiate any Communications to any such numbers or contacts, unless the owner of that telephone number or contact information has provided all necessary consents required by Applicable Law.
User represents and warrants that it understands that the TCPA requires “prior express consent” for certain calls and texts, and “prior express written consent” certain calls and texts that include or introduce an advertisement or constitute telemarketing. See 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1); 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a). For User’s reference only, currently, the term “prior express written consent” is defined to mean “an agreement, in writing, bearing the signature of the person called that clearly authorizes the seller to deliver or cause to be delivered to the person called advertisements or telemarketing messages using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, and the telephone number to which the signatory authorizes such advertisements or telemarketing messages to be delivered.” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(8). The required written agreement “shall include a clear and conspicuous disclosure informing the person signing that: (A) By executing the agreement, such person authorizes the seller to deliver or cause to be delivered to the signatory telemarketing calls using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice; and (B) The person is not required to sign the agreement (directly or indirectly), or agree to enter into such an agreement as a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services.” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(8)(i). The term “signature” includes “an electronic or digital form of signature, to the extent that such form of signature is recognized as a valid signature under applicable federal law or state contract law.” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(8)(ii). The term “advertisement” means “any material advertising the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or services,” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(1), and the term “telemarketing” means “the initiation of a telephone call or message for the purpose of encouraging the purchase or rental of, or investment in, property, goods, or services, which is transmitted to any person,” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(12). The term “clear and conspicuous” means “a notice that would be apparent to the reasonable consumer, separate and distinguishable from the advertising copy or other disclosures.” 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(f)(3). User is solely responsible for monitoring changes to the law applicable to User’s use of the Services.
User represents and warrants that User will include clear opt-out/unsubscribe information in User’s Communications when required to do so by Applicable Law or Industry Guidance. User further agrees that any individuals requesting to opt-out of receiving further Communications or Do-Not-Call (“DNC”) status shall be immediately placed on User’s DNC accounts list and User further agrees that User will not initiate any further Communications to any individuals after they request DNC status or otherwise request not to receive Communications from User.
User understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for confirming that mobile numbers collected by User have not been ported to another individual for purposes of monitoring that User continues to have the requisite consent to use the Services to communicate with the individuals on User’s contact’s list. User represents and warrants that it will implement reasonable processes and procedures to monitor ported numbers.
User represents and warrants User will not engage in any kind of deceitful, deceptive, misleading, or other unfair trade practices or advertising or any other fraudulent or other unlawful practice and all of User’s Communications are truthful, not deceptive or misleading, and any claims contained therein can be appropriately substantiated.
User represents and warrants User will comply with all laws governing the particular content of the Communications being sent by User using My Birthday Bonus’ Services, including, but not limited to, including any required disclosures, notices, warnings.
If My Birthday Bonus receive notice from any source of any spam or other abuse of the Services related to User’s use of the Services, My Birthday Bonus reserves the right to take appropriate actions, including terminating or suspending User’s Account without notice, in My Birthday Bonus’ sole discretion.

Procedure. A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The Arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least ten years’ experience or who is a former or retired judge. The Arbitration shall follow the AAA rules and procedures in effect on the date the Arbitration is filed, except when there is a conflict or inconsistency between the rules and procedures of the Arbitration administrator and this Arbitration provision, in which case this Arbitration provision shall govern.
Location of Arbitration Proceeding. Any in-person Arbitration hearing for a Claim shall take place within the federal judicial district in which the claimant lives or maintains its principal place of business, or at such other reasonably convenient location as agreed by the parties.
