The Pocket Geek® Service (“Service”), provided by The Signal, LP (“Our”, “We”, or “Us”), offers protection plan policy and claims management, and troubleshooting for and information on how to repair common problems that occur in mobile devices, home products, and smart devices (“Smart Product(s)”), that qualify for the Service, in part through the use of a mobile application that can detect common problems (“App”) and an internet-based portal (“Web Portal”).
Before using the Service, carefully read the following Terms of Service and Terms of Use. By registering and/or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, including any future modifications to these Terms of Service (collectively, the "Agreement").
If you reside in Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, or Spain, please see the sections at the bottom of this Agreement titled “Additional Terms for Residents of” your respective country for additional terms that apply to you and which may modify terms otherwise contained in this Agreement.
The Service is available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, then you agree to review these Terms of Service with your parent or legal guardian to make sure that both you and your parent or legal guardian understand and agree to the terms of this Agreement and you agree to have your parent or legal guardian review and accept this Agreement on your behalf through Our App registration process. If you are a parent or legal guardian entering into this Agreement for the benefit of a child over 13 years, then you agree to and accept full responsibility for that child's use of the Service, including all financial charges and legal liability that he or she may incur.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you. If the applicable law in the country in which you reside requires that you must be older than 13 to use the Service, then the minimum age is the age that is mandated by that particular law.

You acknowledge and agree that We have offered the Service, set its prices, and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth below. You further acknowledge and agree that (i) the warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement reflect a reasonable and fair allocation of risk between you and Us, (ii) the warranty disclaimers and the limitations of liability set forth in this Agreement form an essential basis of the agreement between you and Us, and (iii) We would not be able to provide the Service to you on an economically reasonable basis without these limitations and disclaimers.

Payment Terms, Cancellation, and Refund Policy
Other Fees, if any, to be charged to you for your use of the Service, are disclosed when you register a device or Smart Product. You agree to pay any fees due for and incurred by your use of the Service. The fees for your use of the Service may be managed by your mobile operator or Administrator. If so, please refer to your mobile operator’s billing statement for charges related to the Service and contact your provider directly with any questions or comments related to these fees.
Any additional fees to be charged for your use of the Service following registration (such as in-app purchases) will be disclosed to you before We request payment and will be charged only after you provide your payment details. We will make the App (or purchased features) available for download or use as soon as We accept your order.
You may be offered a no-charge trial period before any charges are incurred. If you choose to cancel during the trial period, you will not be charged. If you wish to discontinue using the Service after a trial period, you may cancel your subscription at any time. If you do not cancel during the trial period, you will be charged the fees that were disclosed to you upon registration.
Once you cancel you will not be charged again, but you are responsible for whatever charges have already been incurred for the current billing period. For example, if your billing cycle is on the 13th of every month, and you cancel on the 22nd, you will still have to pay for the current month, but you will not be charged again after that. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made. Please keep in mind, a cancellation by you will not generate a refund -- it will only stop future charges.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
ARBITRATION NOTICE: EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND IF YOU DO NOT OPT-OUT AS SET FORTH, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS, OR PARTICIPATE IN, A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ARBITRATION.
Read the following arbitration provision carefully. It limits certain rights, including your right to obtain relief or damages through court action.
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and performed exclusively according to the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, United States of America, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
Waivers. Both You and We hereby expressly waive trial by jury. Both You and We waive the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action. Both You and We waive the right to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action brought by anyone else.
Arbitration of Disputes. Unless you opt-out specifically as set forth in this Section, you agree that all disputes between You and Us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to this Agreement or Your use of the Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, except for disputes relating to the infringement of Your or Our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, copyright and patents) or where We are seeking a preliminary injunction (“Excluded Disputes”). To begin Arbitration, either You or We must make a written demand to the other party for arbitration. The Arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be administered in keeping with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a copy of the AAA's Consumer Rules by contacting AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, calling (800) 778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. Unless You and We agree, the arbitration will take place in the county and state (or equivalent political subdivision) where you live. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., will govern and no state, local or other arbitration law will apply. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT this arbitration provision means that you give up Your right to go to court on any claim covered by this provision. You also agree that any arbitration proceeding will only consider Your claims. Claims by, or on behalf of, other individuals will not be arbitrated in any proceeding that is considering Your claims. In the event this Arbitration provision is stricken, severed, or otherwise deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, You and We specifically agree to waive and forever give up the right to a trial by jury. Instead, in the event any litigation arises between You and Us, any such lawsuit will be tried before a judge, and a jury will not be impaneled or struck. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrators will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages.
Opt Out of Arbitration. If You do not wish to have any dispute between You and Us arbitrated, You must notify Us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that You first became subject to this arbitration clause. You may provide such notice by emailing us at support@pocketgeek.com. Your opt-out notification to Us must include (1) your name, (2) your postal address, (3) your e-mail address, and (4) a clear statement that You do not wish to resolve disputes with Us regarding the Service through arbitration. Please note that opting out of arbitration will not affect any other agreements or waivers made in this Section.
Venue. If You have not validly opted out of arbitration, You expressly agree that any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of this Agreement or the Excluded Disputes will be filed only in the state or federal courts sitting Delaware County, PA and You hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action, and to extra-territorial service of process. If You have validly opted out of arbitration, You expressly agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be filed only in the federal or state courts sitting in Delaware County, PA and You hereby consent and submit to personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of any action related to this Agreement or the Services, and to extra-territorial service of process.

- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the applicable Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the applicable Service;
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to locate the material;
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit Us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
- A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (for example, "I am under the good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted content that is identified herein is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."); and
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (for example, "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.").

If you (“You” or “Your”) do not agree with any part of these Terms of Use, You must not use the Site and cease all activity associated with the Site immediately. Your continued use of the Site will constitute Your acceptance of these Terms of Use, as may be modified by Us at any time without notice to You. Please check this page regularly for updates.
By accessing and using the Site, You agree to be bound by these Terms of Use without limitation or qualification. The insurance and/or extended service contract products and/or other services on the Site, are offered by Assurant, Inc and all its entities, subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, collectively referred to hereinafter as “Assurant”.
Permitted Use
All of the content on the Site is made available only for Your personal, lawful, non-commercial use. Use of the Site by a competitor company or other non-consumer third party is prohibited.
Except as expressly mandated by law, You may not, without Our or Assurant’s prior written permission: (i) link from another website to the Site; (ii) post, transmit, copy, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, sell, or republish anything You obtain or download from the Site; (iii) engage in systematic retrieval of data or other content from the Site; (iv) assign or transfer any rights granted by these Terms of Use; or (v) access, or attempt to access, the Site through any automated means (including use of scripts, crawlers, or similar technologies).
Our Products and Services
All coverages are subject to the terms and conditions of the insurance policies, extended service contracts and/or other products and services offered by Assurant. Coverages and the terms and conditions of the insurance policies, extended service contracts and/or other products and services offered by Assurant may vary by state or country and Your individual circumstances, and additional minimum coverage limits may be required in Your state or country. The claims services offered on the Site are only available in the jurisdictions in which Assurant is properly licensed.
You must ensure that the details You give to Assurant while using this Site are correct and that there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the deductible, if any.
Although the term "extended service contract" and "extended warranty" are commonly used interchangeably, an extended service contract is not a warranty. A warranty is provided by a manufacturer and is included in the purchase price of the product. An extended service contract covers repair costs for specific components but is not an extension of the manufacturer's warranty. Please see terms and conditions for full details of coverage, limitations and exclusions.
Third-party Sites
Assurant may provide links to other websites that are not under our control and which we do not maintain. These links are provided for Your convenience. When You activate these links, You will leave the Site. Assurant does not endorse or take responsibility for the content on third party websites or the availability of those websites and we are not liable for any loss or damage that You may suffer by using those websites. If You decide to access linked websites, You do so at Your own risk. Assurant does not verify nor make any warranty or representation about the content, accuracy, opinions expressed, warranties, products or services, intellectual property compliance, or links of such third-party site. You should read the terms of use and privacy policies on all third-party websites.
Some services may be made available on the Site by third-parties not affiliated with Assurant. You agree that if You use or install any service provided by a third party, You will seek redress from that third party if its service causes any loss or damage to You. Assurant is not responsible for any product or service that is used or downloaded from a source other than Us. You further agree that any downloading, accessing, or using of third-party products or services is performed at Your own risk.
Availability of Site
While Assurant has taken care in the preparation of the Site, and We use reasonable efforts to include accurate and current information on the Site, certain technical matters may be beyond Our control and We cannot guarantee that You will have uninterrupted or error free access to all of the Site at all times, that defects will be remedied, or that the Site, or the server that makes the Site available, are virus or bug free. Access may be suspended occasionally or restricted to allow for repair or maintenance or for the introduction of new services. You agree that Assurant may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Site (or any features within the Site) to You anytime for any breach of these Terms of Use, or at our sole discretion, without prior notice to You. You acknowledge that Assurant may, at any time and in our sole discretion, change the requirements (type of Internet access, hardware, software) to use the Site, and any products and services available on the Site.
Copyrights and Trademarks
Except as otherwise indicated, all materials on the Site, including without limitation the logos, names, copyrights and trademarks on the Site are proprietary marks of Assurant, Inc. or the images are used by Assurant with permission of the copyright owner. Note that Assurant may not own a copyright to material displayed on a third-party site that our Site links to. You must always seek permission from a site owner before copying any materials from them.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, nothing on the Site shall be deemed to confer on any person any license or right to use any such image, logo, name, trademark or any other intellectual property and any such use will constitute an infringement of the rights of the holder.

You understand and agree that data and/or text messaging rates may apply, and You are fully responsible for charges incurred, if any. Unauthorized access or use of the Site, Web Portal, or the App is prohibited. To obtain access to certain online services, You are given the opportunity to register.

Credit/Debit Card Transactions
We may retain the credit/debit card details You provide to Us after payment has been made if You provide Us with consent, if required by Our payment processor or otherwise required by law. We do not maintain any security code that You may have given to Us in order to complete payment of a deductible, if any. This assists in reducing credit/debit card fraud.

This means that Assurant expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including without limitation the warranties of title and non-infringement and the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Assurant accepts no liability for any direct or indirect loss or damage, foreseeable or otherwise, including any indirect, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising from the use of the Site or any information contained therein. Users should be aware that they use the Site and its content at their own risk. If You are in a state or country that does not allow a disclaimer of implied warranties, the above disclaimer or a portion of it may not apply to You.
Limitation of Liability
Access to and use of this Site is at the user's own risk. Assurant shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, or claim, nor any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages of any kind, whether such action is based in tort, contract, negligence, strict liability, or other law, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Assurant shall not be liable for any Third-party site, materials on any Third-party site or the inability to use any Third-party site; and defect, omission, error, interruption, delay, or computer virus; or the unauthorized alteration of or access to Your transmissions or personal data.
If You are in a state or country that does not allow the limitation of liability for certain damages, the above limitation of liability or a portion of it may not apply to You. However, You agree in any event that Assurant’s total liability for all damages, losses, injuries, or claims of any kind or nature shall be limited to the amount You have paid for use of the Service, if any.
Monitoring of Telephone Calls and Emails
Telephone calls and email correspondence with Assurant as a result of Your access to the Site, App, or Web Portal may be recorded for training, administrative and security purposes, and as otherwise permitted by law.

Emails and Data Protection
Please note that there is no guarantee that any e-mail sent to this Site will be received by Assurant or that the message will remain confidential while being transmitted. Your email address and the content of Your email may be shared with, or disclosed, to third parties, who are necessary to address the content of Your email, and as otherwise permitted by law. Assurant may retain the content of the form or email, the email address and our response. This enables Assurant to retain an audit trail of our contact and provide You with the service or information You may have requested.
Severability
In any cause of action brought forth by You, in any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any provision of these Terms of Service and Terms of Use as incorporated herein and collectively referred to as “Terms” is invalid, then that provision will be given no effect for the limited purpose of adjudicating the cause of action, without affecting the rest of these Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.
Jurisdiction and Enforceability
These Terms of Service and Terms of Use and Your relationship with Us under these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws provision. You and Us agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the state courts located within Delaware County, Pennsylvania to resolve any legal matter arising from these Terms. Notwithstanding this, You agree that We shall be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
You agree that if Assurant chooses not to or delays in exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which we have the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of our rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Us.
Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service and Claims Activity Terms of Use state the entire agreement with regard to the items discussed above including use of the App, Site, and Web Portal, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between You and Us with respect to the Service. 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.
We shall not be liable for any failure to perform Our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Our reasonable control including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.
This Agreement is personal to You, and is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by You except with Our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of Our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.
Our failure to enforce any part of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of Our right to later enforce that or any other part of this Agreement. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that We will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with this Agreement to be binding, We must provide you with written notice of such waiver through one of Our authorized representatives.
