5. Services Offered on the Site
a. Marketplace for Lenders and Other Providers
The Website acts as an online marketplace for You to find third parties for the purpose of providing You products or services displayed on the Website. By clicking “submit” (or any button indicating acceptance), You are certifying that all of the information You have provided in Your loan request form is true, accurate and complete. Lenders and non-lenders (“Providers”) that participate in our network may use specific criteria, or filters, to identify the consumers with whom they would like to connect (for example, some Providers may limit their offers to consumers in certain states). The Providers also specify the prices they will pay BroadSurf for the opportunity to present an offer to a consumer that meets the Providers’ criteria.
When You submit a loan request, BroadSurf transmits the information You entered in the form through the network in real time, presenting the information to Providers electronically until a Provider (often, the highest bidding Provider) accepts Your loan request. You will then be directed to that Provider’s website where it presents an offer for a loan (or other goods and services).
If no Providers accept your loan request, we may present you with an offer to submit another loan request or an offer for a different product. We also may also share your contact information with third-party marketers that may contact you by email or SMS (in which case data and messaging rates may apply) to offer you loans or other products.
NOTE ABOUT TRIBAL LENDERS: By using this Website, You may be offered a loan by a tribal or marketplace lender.

In addition, for tribal lenders, You may be required to agree to resolve any disputes in a tribal jurisdiction. You are urged to read and understand the terms of any loan offered by any lender, regardless of its lending model, and to reject any particular loan offer that You cannot afford to repay or that includes terms that are not acceptable to You.

16. Dispute Resolution
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND BroadSurf WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST BroadSurf INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS AVAILABLE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Except if You opt out or for disputes relating to Your relationship with the Websites, including disputes related to these Terms of Use (as provided for below), Your use of the Websites and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association's rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and You and BroadSurf hereby expressly waive trial by jury.
As an alternative, You may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court's rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither You nor BroadSurf will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Use. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if BroadSurf is a party to the proceeding.
This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either BroadSurf or You can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement.
You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If You do so, neither You nor BroadSurf can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, You must notify BroadSurf in writing within 30 days of the date that You first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:
BroadSurf LLC
ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out
2232 Dell Range Blvd., Suite 245 - 3096
Cheyenne, WY 82009
You must include your name and residence address, the email address You used, and a clear statement that You want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.
The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties, except that the losing party may request a new arbitration under the rules of the arbitration organization by a three-arbitrator panel.
If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Clause will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of Your relationship with BroadSurf.
In any arbitration, BroadSurf will pay the filing, administration, service or case management fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs to be paid by the non-prevailing party. BroadSurf will pay additional arbitration expenses to the extent that the arbitrator determines that BroadSurf must do so in order to ensure the enforceability of this Arbitration Clause. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law.
Should a dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between You and BroadSurf, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Los Angeles, CA, except in the event of a claim in small claims court as provided for herein. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.
17. Other Terms
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between You and BroadSurf and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between You and BroadSurf.
These Terms of Use shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of laws principles. If any part of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of these Terms of Use shall continue in effect.
A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
