These TOS constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. These TOS may not be amended, nor any obligation waived, without Your Pie’s written authorization. Any failure to enforce any provision of these TOS shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision thereof.
These TOS shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia applicable to contracts entered into and fully performed in Georgia (without regard to its conflicts of law principles that would cause the application of any other jurisdiction’s laws) With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts of California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Georgia.
By using the Site in any way, you unconditionally consent and agree that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against Your Pie and/or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and each of their respective members, officers, directors and employees (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the “Your Pie Entities”) arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the website or the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia; (4) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable user may have entered into in connection with the website; (5) the arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, arbitration can decide only your and/or the applicable Your Pie Entity’s individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against you or any Your Pie Entity; (8) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against any Your Pie Entity exceed $125 USD, and you are unable (or not required under the rules of JAMS) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, Your Pie agrees to pay them and/or forward them on your behalf, subject to ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Your Pie will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Your Pie shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on JAMS and/or the rules of JAMS, visit their website at www.jamsadr.com.
If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

YOUR PIE LOYALTY PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Last Updated: September 2019
THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS GOVERN THE YOUR PIE LOYALTY PROGRAM (THE “PROGRAM”).
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE RELATED YOUR PIE TERMS OF SERVICE LOCATED HERE AND THE YOUR PIE PRIVACY POLICY LOCATED HERE, (BOTH OF WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE) BEFORE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM. BY USING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER INCLUDED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE. THIS AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS ON HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH YOUR PIE.
1. INTRODUCTION.
1.1 The Program is a rewards program operated by or on behalf of Your Pie Franchising, LLC (“Your Pie”). The Program provides individuals who register with the Your Pie Application (“Members” or “you”) with the opportunity to earn “Points” and “Awards” by making purchases at participating Your Pie locations and by participating in various activities, some of which are described below. You can redeem your Points at participating locations from time to time for various Awards as set forth below. These Terms and Conditions govern the Program along with any other terms or policies incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the terms of any other policies incorporated herein, these Terms and Condition will prevail, govern and control with respect to any matters pertaining to the Program and the other policies will prevail, govern and control with respect to all other matters. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before participating in the Program. Your participation in the Program indicates that you have read, understood, and unconditionally consent and agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you may not participate in the Program. The Program is only for your own personal use. Members may not use the Program for commercial purposes, or in any way that harms Your Pie or any other person or entity, as determined by Your Pie in its sole discretion.
2. ELIGIBILITY.
2.1 The Program is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia and who register with the Program in the Your Pie Application (the “App”). Registration is free. Any person whose access to the App has been terminated or suspended by Your Pie is NOT eligible to participate. To participate in the Program, go to the registration page within the App and confirm your agreement to these Terms and Conditions. Once you complete and submit all of the registration information, a Program account (each, an “Account”) will be created for you. All registration information must be completed in full. Memberships can only be used by the Member whose name is listed on the Account. You should not give your password to any other person. You are responsible for all activity in your Account and any use of your password. Limit one (1) Account per person. You cannot have more than one Account. Your Pie may, at any time, require you to verify your name and address by means of faxing or mailing to Your Pie a copy of your driver’s license or other form of identification approved by Your Pie, in addition to providing Your Pie with a signed statement of legitimacy; and Your Pie may automatically require such verification in the case of multiple accounts from the same address, household, computer or IP address. If you attempt to obtain more than one Account, all Points in your Account may be forfeited, and Your Pie may, at its sole discretion, terminate your membership and permanently ban you from participating in the Program. Officers, directors and employees of Your Pie and its parent, subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, (each, a “Program Entity”, and collectively, the “Program Entities”) may participate in the Program but may not be allowed to redeem Points for certain Awards and may otherwise be subject to restrictions that do not generally apply to how Points are earned or used. Additional or different eligibility criteria may apply to certain opportunities to earn or use Points and other invitations made by the Program Entities or their business partners. The Program is provided to individuals only. Corporations, associations, or other groups may not participate in the Program. It will be considered fraudulent for any individual, company, club, association or group to use or to direct, encourage, or allow other persons to use a single Account for the purpose of accumulating or aggregating Points for combined use, unless such use is expressly permitted by Your Pie. Participation in the Program constitutes each entrant’s permission for the Program Entities to use your first and last name, username, photograph, likeness, voice, biographical information, statements, address (city and state) and a description of any Awards won and any other personal characteristics for advertising and/or publicity purposes worldwide and in all forms of media now known or hereafter developed, in perpetuity, without further compensation.
3. EARNING POINTS.
3.1 There are many ways to earn Points in the Program. The Program may also award more than one type or “class” of Points. The number of Points and the type or “class” of Points that can be earned by participating in any opportunity to earn Points will be disclosed when the opportunity is presented. Some of the ways Members can earn Points may include the following (subject to change):
3.1.1 Making Purchases at Your Pie. Every time you make a purchase at Your Pie and scan the QR Code in your App or the barcode found at the bottom of each purchase receipt, you will receive the number of Points applicable to the purchased items in your Account. You must scan the QR Code or the barcode on your receipt within seven (7) days of your purchase in order to earn Points. You may only scan two (2) receipts in connection with each “Visit” to Your Pie. A “Visit” is defined as four (4) hours. Purchases made for gift cards will not be eligible to earn Points.
3.1.2 Creating Your Account
You can earn a credit for a Free entrée with Purchase (or similar Award selected by Your Pie) by completing and submitting your registration information to the App.
3.1.3 Inviting Friends
The App might provide Members with the opportunity to invite friends to register with the Program. Each time an invited friend registers with the Program and makes a purchase, you could earn an Award selected by Your Pie. Please follow etiquette and invite only to people you know to register with the Program.
3.1.4 Birthday/Half Birthday
If you provide your date of birth during your registration you will receive a credit for a Brownie Sundae (or a similar Award selected by Your Pie) on your birthday and a credit for a scoop of gelato (or a similar Award selected by Your Pie) on your half birthday. These Awards will be available for seven (7) days before and seven (7) days after your birthday or half birthday, as applicable.
4. POINTS REDEMPTION.
4.1 Members may redeem Points for awards as determined by Your Pie in its sole discretion (each, an “Award”). Awards may not be applied to the same Visit in which the Awards are earned (i.e., if you earn a free entrée in connection with your purchase, that free entrée must be redeemed at a separate Visit). The Awards available will be listed at the time of redemption. Points will expire if a Member does not use the App for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. Your Pie, in its sole discretion, may impose a limit on the number of Awards in the aggregate or by type that may redeemed per Account, per day, per Award or per any other generally-applicable metric that may be selected by Your Pie from time to time in its sole discretion.
4.2 Awards are subject to availability as determined by Your Pie in its sole discretion. Your Pie reserves the right to modify, amend or revise the Awards available. Members may not rely on continued Award availability. The number of Points required to redeem any Award may be substantially increased, any Award may be withdrawn, and restrictions on any Award or its redemption may be imposed by Your Pie or its designee or the third-party business partner supplying the Award. Awards are non-assignable and non-transferable and may not be bartered or sold. Any Awards assigned, transferred, bartered or sold in violation of these Terms and Conditions may be confiscated or cancelled. Physical Awards will be shipped only to the United States address currently on file with Your Pie for the applicable Member’s Account and will not be shipped to any other person or address. A pattern of redeeming Points for Awards preceded or followed by changing the address for the applicable Account may be viewed as redemption fraud and could result in the termination of your membership in the Program. Your Pie reserves the right to substitute Awards of comparable or greater value if any redeemed Award becomes unavailable for any reason. Unless otherwise specified at the time of redemption, physical Awards will be fulfilled within six to eight weeks from date of redemption. Awards pictured in point-of-sale, online, television and print advertising, promotional packaging, and other Program materials are for illustrative purposes only. The actual Award may vary from the Award pictured.
4.3 All details and restrictions of the Awards not specified at the time the redemption opportunity is presented will be determined by Your Pie in its sole discretion. Members shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, and/or local taxes including, without limitation, income taxes and any reporting consequences thereof in connection with an Award. If required by law, as determined by Your Pie in its sole discretion, Your Pie reserves the right to withhold and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the amount of any taxes due.
4.4 Points have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash and may not be sold, auctioned, bartered, brokered, purchased, transferred, assigned or used to engage in any gambling activity. Any Points obtained in this manner by any person or entity will be considered to have been fraudulently obtained and deemed void and such Points may be confiscated or cancelled. Points must be redeemed in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Points will not be replaced, reissued or credited if lost, stolen or otherwise altered or destroyed. If the Program includes tiers that provide the Member with benefits based on meeting a stated minimum threshold number of Points (each such tier, if any, referred to as “Points Level”), you should know that Points Levels are subject to change. Your Pie, in its sole discretion and without notice to you, reserves the right to change, modify, withdraw or cancel any Points Level. Your Pie also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine and modify, at any time, the value of Points and the number of Points that may be earned for any given activity. Points cannot be used in combination with any other discount, coupon or offer unless specifically allowed by the terms of a specific promotion. Once you have redeemed your Points, they are gone and there are no refunds, returns or exchanges for additional Points, cash, or other goods and services, even if you return the merchandise or other item(s) that your Points were redeemed toward.
5. MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION.
5.1 Your Pie may modify any of these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, the methods through which Points can be earned, how Points can be used, the types or “classes” of Points available, and the conditions under which Points may expire or be forfeited, at any time, with or without notice, even though these changes may affect a Member’s ability to use the Points that he/she has already earned. The Program has no predetermined termination date and may continue until such time as Your Pie decides to terminate the Program. Your Pie may, in its sole discretion, modify or terminate the Program, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason or no reason at all, with notice on www.yourpie.com (the “Website”) and/or via email to the Member’s email address currently on file with Your Pie for their Account.
5.2 If Your Pie amends these Terms and Conditions, it will revise the “last updated” date located at the top of these Terms and Conditions. For changes to these Terms and Conditions that Your Pie considers to be material, Your Pie will place a notice on the Website by revising the link on the home page to read substantially as “Updated Program Terms and Conditions” for an amount of time that we determine in our discretion. If you continue to participate in the Program by earning Points, redeeming Points, logging onto your Account or in any other way after these Terms and Conditions have been changed, you will be deemed to have read, understood and unconditionally consented to and agreed to such changes. The most current version of these Terms and Conditions will be available on the Website and will supersede all previous versions of these Terms and Conditions.
5.3 If Your Pie decides in its sole discretion to discontinue the Program, Members will have approximately thirty (30) days or an amount of time deemed reasonable by Your Pie in its sole discretion from the date Program termination is announced to use their remaining Points. Use of any remaining Points will be on a first come, first serve basis and otherwise subject to the availability of Awards. Members may not rely on continued Award availability. Your Pie makes no representation or warranty about the number or type of Awards that may be available after Program termination has been announced, and many Awards that may have been available prior to termination will quickly become depleted or otherwise unavailable once the Program termination has been announced. Any Points remaining in a Member’s Account at the time of termination will be forfeited and no compensation will be provided. Your Pie may cancel your membership, cancel accumulated Points, alter the number of Points in your Account or suspend your membership privileges at any time with immediate effect if Your Pie determines in its sole discretion that you (a) have acted in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws or ordinances; (b) acted in a fraudulent or abusive manner; (c) breached any of these Terms and Conditions; (d) engaged in any fraud or abuse concerning Points, Points usage or Points redemption; or (e) engaged in any conduct or act that causes Your Pie to terminate or suspend your access to the Website. Your Pie may also take appropriate administrative or legal action if any of the items listed above occurs. Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions shall limit Your Pie in its exercise of any legal or equitable rights or remedies.
5.4 Your Pie reserves the right to terminate the membership of any Member whose Account becomes dormant. An Account will be considered dormant if the Account holder fails to log onto his or her Account for twelve (12) months or with such regularity deemed sufficient by Your Pie and announced from time to time on the Website. Your Pie in its sole discretion may allow Members to prevent their Points from expiring by following Your Pie’s instructions.
6. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

POINTS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE UPON DEATH, AS PART OF A DOMESTIC RELATIONS MATTER OR OTHERWISE. Each Member is responsible for ensuring that the information in his/her Account is accurate and is kept current. If a Member believes that his/her Account does not properly reflect Points earned from engaging in any activities, the Member must contact Your Pie to resolve the issue. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Program may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Your Pie reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Your Pie’s failure to enforce any of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of the affected provision, or any other provision. All questions or disputes regarding an individual’s eligibility for the Program, the earning, crediting or use of Points, or a Member’s compliance with these Terms and Conditions will be resolved by Your Pie in its sole discretion.

7.2 Any attempts by any Member to access the Program via a bot script or other brute-force attack shall result in that Member becoming ineligible to participate in the Program.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Your Pie Pizza’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.
Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
