Website terms of use

By using MyAssetTag.com (the "Site"), you agree to the following Terms of Use. The Site is owned and operated by XpressMyself.com LLC dba SmartSign (the “Company”), based in Brooklyn, New York. We may modify these Terms from time to time. Your account may be terminated if you violate any of the Terms of Use.

1. Use of the Site.

• 1.1.

  We try to be as accurate as possible. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other Site content is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Prices and promotions are subject to change, and we cannot confirm the availability or price of an item until you place your order. Rarely, despite our best efforts, an item in our catalogue may not be available, an offer may be misstated, or an item may be mispriced.

• 1.2.

  You agree that the Company may use your reviews, feedback, suggestions or ideas in any way, including in modifications to the Site, other products or services, or in publicity materials, and grant the Company a perpetual, royalty-free, unencumbered license to use the feedback you provide. By uploading content to the Site, you authorize the Company to display your content on its website and publicity materials, free of charge. The Company claims no intellectual property rights over any other content you upload to the Site.

• 1.3.

  You are aware that the technical processing and transmission of the Site, including your content, may be transferred unencrypted and involve transmissions over various networks, and changed to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. The personal information you provide us, including your payment information, is stored on access-controlled, secure servers, and the people who work on SmartSign data are all trained in how to keep your information secure. All data you submit to SmartSign is encrypted and stored in PCI-compliant data centers. In the event a security breach happens, we will promptly inform you.

  You agree to provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Site, including but not limited to a web-enabled device that is suitable to connect with and use the Site. You are solely responsible for any fees, including Internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Site.

2. Disputes and Arbitration Agreement.

• 2.1.

  Initial dispute resolution.

  We are available by email at [email protected] to address any concerns you may have regarding your purchase. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. In the event of a dispute, you agree to negotiate with SmartSign in good faith before initiating a lawsuit or an arbitration.

• 2.2.

  Agreement to arbitrate.

  If no agreement is reached within 30 days of the time initial dispute resolution is pursued, either party may initiate binding arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Kings County, NY. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply to any claims or demands filed by business entities. The AAA’s consumer arbitration rules will apply to any claims or demands filed by an individual.

  You understand that, in light of this mandatory provision, you are waiving your rights to sue in court and have your disputes resolved by a judge or jury trial. You further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

  To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to AAA along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to AAA. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain circumstances.

• 2.3.

  Class action and class arbitration waiver.

  You agree that any arbitration will be conducted in your individual capacity, and not as a class action or other representative action. You expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in section 2.2 shall be deemed void, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes and any such class action shall proceed consistent with section 2.6 below.

• 2.4.

  30-day right to opt out.

  You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in sections 2.2 and 2.3 by emailing us at [email protected] within 30 days of registering an account. By not opting out, you are required to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. By opting out you agree to release SmartSign from the arbitration clause in section 2.2.
