Your consent to receive such communications is not a condition of using our services. If you do not wish to receive calls or messages, you should refrain from using our services or providing your contact information.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Maisonlink and its service providers from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your failure to notify them of changes to your wireless number.

Assignment
You may not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without Maisaonlink’s prior written consent. Any such attempted assignment without consent will be deemed null and void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

All other aspects of these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding its conflict of law rules. These Terms shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Any legal proceedings arising out of or related to these Terms or Maisaonlink’s services shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and both parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts, unless otherwise specified in the arbitration provision.
Agreement to Resolve Disputes Through Arbitration
In an effort to resolve disputes amicably, customers are strongly encouraged to first contact Maisaonlink’s Customer Support before initiating formal legal proceedings. Should a dispute remain unresolved, both the customer and their affiliates, on one side, and Maisaonlink and its affiliates, on the other, agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Maisaonlink services through binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, or at another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
This arbitration agreement applies to all claims under any legal theory, except for those explicitly stated under the Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. The obligation to arbitrate remains in effect even after the customer ceases using Maisaonlink’s services. Any question regarding the enforceability or scope of this arbitration agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator.
By agreeing to arbitration, both parties waive their right to a trial by judge or jury for any disputes arising from or related to these Terms or Maisaonlink’s services.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate
This arbitration agreement does not apply to disputes involving intellectual property rights, including but not limited to trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, or patents of either party or their affiliates.
If either party initiates a court proceeding for a dispute that is subject to arbitration or refuses to arbitrate a dispute that is covered under this agreement, the other party may petition the court to compel arbitration in accordance with this section. Either party may also request that a court stay ongoing litigation while arbitration is pending.
Mediation Requirement Prior to Arbitration
Before initiating arbitration, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA). If mediation does not resolve the issue, either party may proceed with arbitration under the rules set forth by AAA.
Arbitration will be administered in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, and a single arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with those Rules. Each party shall have the right to obtain non-privileged, relevant documents from the other and conduct a reasonable number of depositions. In the event of any conflict, the arbitrator shall be bound by the Rules and the express terms of this arbitration agreement.
Arbitration Procedure and Governing Law
This arbitration agreement does not alter the applicable statute of limitations for any claims or counterclaims. The arbitrator’s decision shall be based on the evidence presented and the substantive law of the State of Illinois and the United States.
The arbitrator will issue a separate written award for each claim and counterclaim. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, subject only to limited review under the Federal Arbitration Act, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver
Both the customer (and their affiliates) and Maisaonlink (and its affiliates) agree that any dispute must be brought solely in an individual capacity, and not as part of any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to combine or aggregate claims or award relief on a class-wide or group basis, unless both parties expressly agree in writing.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the Class Action Waiver unenforceable or invalid, this entire Agreement to Arbitrate shall be rendered null and void, and the dispute shall proceed in court. However, all other provisions of these Terms will remain.
