UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITIES.
To be clear, we authorize your use of the Platform only for individual, consumer purposes (“Permitted Purposes”). Any other use of the Platform beyond the Permitted Purposes is prohibited and, therefore, constitutes unauthorized use of the Platform. This is because, as between you and Synchronoss, all rights in the Platform remain our property.
Unauthorized use of the Platform may result in violation of various United States and international laws. Unless you have written permission from us stating otherwise, you are not authorized to use the Platform in any of the following ways (these are examples only and the list below is not a complete list of everything that you are not permitted to do):
- for any commercial purpose which includes use of the Materials on another site or through a networked computer environment;
- in a manner that modifies, publicly displays, publicly performs, reproduces or distributes any of the Platform;
- in a manner that violates any local, state, national, foreign, or international statute, regulation, rule, order, treaty, or other law;
- to stalk, harass, or harm another individual;
- to impersonate any person or entity or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
- in a manner that infringes any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property or privacy rights of any other person;
- to interfere with or disrupt the Platform or servers or networks connected to the Platform;
- to harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of other users of the Platform;
- to use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods in connection with the Platform; or
- to attempt to circumvent any content filtering techniques we employ or to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Platform or any other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Platform, whether through hacking, password mining, or any other means.
Synchronoss may temporarily suspend your access to the Platform in the event that either you are engaged in, or we in good faith suspect that you are engaged in, any unauthorized conduct (including, but not limited to any violation of these Terms). Synchronoss will attempt to contact you prior to or contemporaneously with such suspension; provided, however, that our exercise of the suspension rights herein shall not be conditioned upon your receipt of any notification. You agree that Synchronoss shall not be liable to you or any third party if we exercise our suspension rights as permitted by this Section and these Terms. Upon determining that you have ceased the unauthorized conduct leading to the temporary suspension to our reasonable satisfaction and in our sole discretion, we will reinstate your access to and use of the Platform. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, suspension of access to the Platform is in addition to any other remedies that we may have under these Terms or otherwise, including but not limited to termination of these Terms for cause. Additionally, if there are repeated incidences of suspension, regardless of the same or different cause and even if the cause or conduct is ultimately cured or corrected, we may, in our reasonable and sole discretion, determine that such circumstances, taken together, constitute a material breach.
You agree to indemnify and hold Synchronoss and its officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, awards, fines, damages, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, your violation of these Terms or your violation of any rights of another. You alone are responsible for any violation of these Terms by you or by anyone using your account. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you and, in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be required to indemnify Synchronoss for any claims, losses, or damages to the extent caused by Synchronoss’ gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct. If you are a New Jersey resident, this indemnification obligation shall not require you to indemnify Synchronoss for any matter for which indemnification is prohibited under New Jersey law.
Further, you agree that any use of the Platform for publication, transmission, sharing or dissemination of SGI in contravention with applicable law or the creation, generation, modification, alteration, hosting, displaying, uploading, publishing, transmitting, storing, updating, sharing or otherwise disseminating of information in contravention of any law for the time being in force will be perceived as unauthorized use and may lead to: (i) the immediate disabling of access to or removal of such information; (ii) suspension or termination of the user account; (iii) in accordance with applicable law, identification of such user and disclosure of the identity of the violating user to a complainant, where such complainant is a victim of, or an individual acting on behalf of a victim of, such contravention; and (iv) reporting of such offence to the appropriate authority in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law where such violation relates to the commission of an offence under any law in force which requires such offence to be mandatorily reported.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; MASS ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
This section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, and you and Synchronoss each agree that this section is intended to satisfy the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
THE FOLLOWING TERMS TO WHICH YOU ARE CONSENTING CONSIST OF A PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, MASS ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND A CLASS-ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, by using the Platform, you and Synchronoss agree that if a dispute arises between you and Synchronoss relating in any way to the Platform or your use thereof, including common law or statutory claims, the dispute will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL IMPACT HOW CLAIMS YOU AND SYNCHRONOSS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. You and Synchronoss agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Synchronoss in connection with the Platform, including any products or services offered or sold on the Platform and your use of the Platform, shall be resolved exclusively through confidential, final, and binding arbitration; provided that either party may file suit in court seeking to enjoin infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of its intellectual property rights. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
Opt-out
You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the pre-arbitration dispute resolution, final, binding arbitration procedure, mass arbitration procedure, and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to us at: Customer Service, Synchronoss Technologies Inc., 200 Crossing Blvd, Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807 (the “Notice Address”), within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms. The letter must be signed personally by you or your legal guardian and specify: (1) your first and last name; (2) your mailing address; (3) your email address; and (4) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
You and Synchronoss agree that whenever you or Synchronoss have a disagreement (“Dispute”) with the other arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Platform that is subject to the arbitration provision herein, you and Synchronoss will first send a written notice to the other party (a “Demand”). You and Synchronoss agree that the requirements of this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before you accepted these Terms. You must send the Demand to the Notice Address. Synchronoss must send the Demand to you via certified mail to the most recent address Synchronoss has on file for you (or by email if Synchronoss only has an email address for you on file). A Demand (1) shall seek to resolve a Dispute only on an individual basis; (2) shall state the full basis for the Dispute (including the details about the Dispute sufficient for the recipient to review and respond) and the date that the Dispute arose; (3) shall provide the individual claimant’s full name, phone number, and email address to confirm their identity and to aid communication; and (4) shall be personally signed by the individual claimant or for Synchronoss by its authorized representative (and not only their counsel). Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of a Demand, the recipient may request an individualized video or telephone conference to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute which both you and Synchronoss will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and Synchronoss agree that you and Synchronoss will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until after the period to request a conference expires or, if a conference is requested, twenty (20) business days after the individualized conference is completed. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution procedure section is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating any lawsuit or arbitration. This procedure is essential to providing each of us a meaningful opportunity to resolve Disputes informally. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth above. A court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of a lawsuit or arbitration if these requirements have not been met.
Arbitration Procedure
If the Dispute stated in the Demand is not resolved to your or Synchronoss’ satisfaction within ten (10) business days after the conference described above (or within ten (10) business days after the time when such a conference may be requested if no conference has been requested), and you intend on taking legal action, you agree that you will file a demand for arbitration with JAMS. The arbitration will be conducted under JAMS’s Comprehensive Rules & Procedures, including the JAMS’s Consumer Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The JAMS’s rules and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings are available on the JAMS’s website at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, except that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of an arbitration if the Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution requirements set forth above have not been met.
The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, either you or Synchronoss may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone and/or video conference or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on the other party subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone and/or video conference, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law.
The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules.
Class Action Waiver
You and Synchronoss agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Synchronoss agree otherwise or the Mass Arbitration provisions set forth below are triggered, 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). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other person or party. You and Synchronoss further agree that in the event this arbitration agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, the prohibitions on class and representative actions and non-individualized relief set forth in this paragraph are severable and shall apply to any claim between you and Synchronoss in any forum. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.
Mass Arbitration
If, at any time, 25 or more claimants (including you) submit Demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar claims against Synchronoss, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings (“Mass Filing”) set forth in National Arbitration & Mediation’s (“NAM”) Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules”) available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/), you and Synchronoss agree that JAMS shall not serve as arbitrator and that instead NAM shall administer any Mass Filing claims and the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such claim is filed shall apply as modified below. The parties agree to the appointment of a Procedural Arbitrator pursuant to NAM’s Mass Filing Rules, and additionally agree that the Procedural Arbitrator will have the authority to determine jurisdiction and arbitrability including, but not limited to, any issue regarding the validity, existence, formation or scope of the agreement under which Arbitration is being sought, and the proper parties to the Arbitration. You agree that throughout this process, the parties’ counsels shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that your election to participate in a Mass Filing may result in a delay in the adjudication of your dispute with Synchronoss. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth below.
Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Synchronoss shall each select 15 claims per side (30 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Synchronoss will pay the mediator’s fee.
Stage Two: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this time, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Synchronoss shall each select 20 claims per side (40 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Synchronoss will pay the mediator’s fee
If your claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:
Option One: You and we may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with these Terms. You may opt out of arbitration by sending us your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by certified mail addressed to the Notice Address. Such an opt-out notice must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage Two or the elective mediation associated with Stage Two. We may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of our intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30-day opt out period. Counsels for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.
OR
Option Two: If neither you nor we elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your claim will be resolved as part of continuing, staged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining claims exceeds 100, then 100 claims shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsels for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than 100, then all of those claims will be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims will not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of 100 claims are adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this process shall repeat consistent with these parameters. Counsels for the parties are encouraged to meet and confer, participate in mediation, and engage with each other and with NAM (including through a Procedural Arbitrator, as such term is used in the NAM Rules) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claims, increase the number of claims to proceed at any given time, promote efficiencies, conserve resources, and resolve the remaining claims.
You and Synchronoss agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and Synchronoss acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases. If any part of this Mass Arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the NAM rules, then the balance of this Mass Arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision was not contained herein unless the lack of such provision would lead this Mass Arbitration provision to fail of its essential purpose.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Filing provisions and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your claim, then your claim will proceed before JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (available at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures). If a court of competent jurisdiction also determines that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines are not enforceable as to your Claim, then the remaining Claims shall be subject to Option One or Option Two above as selected by you or us.
GENERAL.

The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of these Terms.
