If you become aware of unauthorized use of your credentials, you agree to notify Local Direct Response immediately by email at [email protected]. You remain liable for any activity using your credentials until such time as Local Direct Response has been notified and has had an opportunity to take appropriate action.
1.3 Local Direct Response is not a Party to Payment Transactions
Purchases and Payment Transactions you make through our Services are transactions between you and the Merchant only, not with Local Direct Response or any of our affiliates. Local Direct Response is not the seller of any product or service offered by Merchants and is not a party to any Payment Transaction facilitated through the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that all aspects of Purchases beyond the services that Local Direct Response provides, as well as all engagement and interactions between the Merchant and you, are solely the responsibility of the Merchant.
1.4.1 Digital Access.
Digital coupon features allow you to redeem offers from a participating Merchant using your own computer or mobile device.
When you open a check, you may be required to provide evidence of coupon redemption information prior to completing your Purchase.
1.4.3 Loyalty and Rewards.
Local Direct Response provides technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty and/or rewards programs to Guests. By enrolling in any loyalty program offered by Local Direct Response or by a Merchant using Local Direct Response’s technology services, you expressly agree to these program terms.
You may enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program by signing up at the Merchant or while placing an order, subject to the Merchant’s terms and conditions related to its loyalty program. Once you have enrolled, you may earn points when you make Purchases from Merchants, which can later be redeemed for discounts or other benefits. If you initiate a return, chargeback, or refund, points associated with the Purchase may be revoked. You may check your current rewards balance by clicking the link you receive when you sign up for a Merchant’s loyalty program.
If you choose to enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program, you agree that the Merchant may contact you using the contact method(s) you provide with program information, offers, and other marketing and transactional communications. Any information shared by Local Direct Response with Merchants is subject to our Privacy Statement. Once a Merchant has received information you provide from Local Direct Response, the use and governance of that information will be managed by the Merchant, which may have separate privacy practices and policies. Local Direct Response does not authorize Merchants to send marketing messages to your mobile number. Merchants may not send marketing messages to your mobile number unless you expressly authorize the Merchant to send you such messages.
Each Merchant is solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of its own loyalty program, including establishing the number of points that you may earn when you make Purchases, setting redemption thresholds, and determining how and when points may be redeemed for rewards. Merchants have the ability to modify their loyalty programs and/or to modify the points balance held by any individual Guest. Local Direct Response is not responsible for notifying you in the event that the Merchant changes any element of its loyalty program or ceases to offer a loyalty program. The Merchant is solely responsible for communicating program or points balance changes to you.
Points earned through any loyalty program offered by Local Direct Response or a Merchant using Local Direct Response have no cash value and cannot be transferred, redeemed, or sold for cash. Subject to notice requirements under Applicable Law and Rules, Local Direct Response reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, terminate, revalue or cancel its own loyalty program and/or the technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty programs through Local Direct Response. In the event Local Direct Response terminates any loyalty program offered by Local Direct Response or by a Merchant, Local Direct Response will, in accordance with the Applicable Law and Rules, maintain records of Guest’s loyalty points for one year following termination of the loyalty program in the event the loyalty program is reinstated within one year of termination. Local Direct Response reserves the right to adjudicate any discrepancies or disputes regarding rewards allocations or these program terms in its sole discretion and you agree to abide by any such adjudication.

14. Arbitration
14.1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Section 14 is referred to as the Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Local Direct Response, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or in connection with your use of the Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, you and Local Direct Response are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate, provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
14.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
You and Local Direct Response agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Local Direct Response agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. 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).
14.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to all parties’ satisfaction by emailing Local Direct Response’s Customer Care team at [email protected]. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Local Direct Response do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Local Direct Response may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Local Direct Response or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Local Direct Response is entitled.
14.4. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and Applicable Law and Rules. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless you and Local Direct Response agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by the AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Local Direct Response agrees 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.
14.5. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
14.6. Confidentiality
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.
14.7. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Sub-Section 14.1 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Sub-Section 14.1 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
15. Survival
Upon termination of your use of the Service or these Terms for any reason, in addition to this section, the following sections shall survive termination: Section 1.7 (Merchant Responsibilities), 5 (Fees), 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties, Waiver and Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Ownership of Content, Use of Trademarks), 12 (Termination), 14 (Arbitration), 17 (Governing Law), and 18 (Miscellaneous).
16. Assignment
You may not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent and any attempted assignment may be void. We reserve the right to freely assign these Terms and the rights and obligations hereunder, to any third party without notice and consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns.
17. Governing Law
Any action, claim, or dispute related to these Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Arkansas, excluding its conflicts of law provisions, and controlling U.S. federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to these Terms of Service.
18. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will remain in full force and effect. Failure of Local Direct Response to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision herein. No waiver will be effective against Local Direct Response unless made in writing, and no such waiver will be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by Local Direct Response and you, these Terms, including any Local Direct Response policies governing the Services referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Local Direct Response with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Local Direct Response with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and will not be given any legal import.
