AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION
Instead of suing in court, you and the Company agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us only by binding and bilateral arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator can award damages and relief, including any attorneys' fees if authorized by law. The arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
References to the "Company", "you" and "us" for purposes of this agreement to arbitrate include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, heirs, guardians, successors and assigns, and all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Company's services
This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to (i) disputes and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (iii) claims that may arise after the termination of your relationship with the Company; and (iv) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class.
This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. In addition, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this arbitration agreement, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (the "FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. The FAA's provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
Unless otherwise agreed to by you and the Company in writing, the arbitration will be governed and conducted by JAMS before a single arbitrator who is licensed to practice law. The JAMS rules, including the selection of an arbitrator, filing, administration, discovery and arbitrator fees will be conducted under JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, except as modified by this agreement or otherwise agreed to by you and the Company in writing. The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with JAMS's Consumer Minimum Standards, the JAMS's Consumer Minimum Standards in that regard shall control. NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL REQUIRE OR ALLOW YOU OR THE COMPANY TO ARBITRATE ON A CLASSWIDE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF JAMS PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD. RATHER, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDAL BASIS, AND UNLESS YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.
You and the Company are each responsible for their respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, and any other costs relating to the arbitration. The Company, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other JAMS case management fees, for any dispute of $75,000 U.S. Dollars or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Otherwise, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses, Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness regarding costs and payment apply.
Unless you and the Company agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration will take place in the county or Province of your billing address.
An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
IF FOR SOME REASON THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE CANNOT BE ENFORCED, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and the Company agree that there will not be a jury trial. You and the Company unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any way. In the event of litigation, this paragraph may be filed to show a written consent to a trial by the court.
If you or the Company fail to comply with this arbitration provision, the breaching party shall be liable for the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the other party in enforcing compliance with the arbitration agreement.
-

-
GENERAL
Waiver. Any waiver granted herein shall not be deemed effective unless in writing, executed by the party as to whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. A waiver by either party of any provision(s) hereof shall not be deemed a waiver as to any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by either party of the same or any other provision.
Severability. If any provision of these ENGAGE Terms is prohibited or unenforceable by any applicable law, the provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and for the duration of the prohibition of unenforceability, without invalidating any of the remaining provisions.
Survival. The obligations of you under these ENGAGE Terms that by their nature would continue beyond the termination of these ENGAGE Terms including, but not limited to, those sections relating to Fees and Indemnification will survive any termination.
Attorneys' Fees. In the event the Company seeks legal action against you for collection of any Fees or to enforce its rights and your obligations under these ENGAGE Terms, the Company is entitled to recover from you its reasonable costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred as a result.
Remedies. The rights and remedies provided to the Company under these ENGAGE Terms are in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.
Governing Law and Venue.

These ENGAGE Terms and any action related thereto or related to Services shall be governed, controlled, interpreted, and defined by and under the laws in effect in the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to conflicts of law principles.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (the "FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to arbitrate. The FAA's provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.

You can also choose to withdraw any previously given consent with regard to our processing of your personal information. However, it is important to keep in mind that in certain cases we will be unable to process your request or immediately conclude the use thereof, as it is possible that due to some legal obligation we will be required to continue handling your personal information.

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
You can exercise your rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, and your right to data portability, by sending us an email with your request to dataprivacy@allegion.com. Once we receive your request, we will contact you to verify your identity (e.g., via email address you previously provided to us) and country of residence. You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable laws, to submit a request through an authorized agent. To designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights and choices on your behalf, please e-mail dataprivacy@allegion.com. Allegion will respond to your requests within a reasonable amount of time as may be defined by applicable law, unless you are notified otherwise by us in writing. There is no charge for requesting access to your personal information, but we may ask you to meet reasonable costs in providing you with access, for example photocopying or postage costs. It should be appreciated that there are some circumstances in which we are not required to give you access to delete or correct your personal information. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you remains accurate, up to date, and complete. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS
If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”)/California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), California law grants certain rights as set forth below:
-
Right to know. You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this Privacy Statement.
-
Right to request deletion. You also have a right to request that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions.
-
Right to non-discrimination. The CCPA/CPRA prohibits discrimination against California residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA/CPRA, such as by denying or providing a different level or quality of goods or services, or charging different prices or imposing penalties on residents who exercise their CCPA/CPRA rights, unless doing so is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the resident’s data.
Requests to exercise your rights may be submitted by: (i) sending us an email with your request to dataprivacy@allegion.com; (ii) via phone at 1-877-671-7011. Please be prepared to provide your first and last name and email address that matches information we currently have on file. Where we are unable to verify your identity based upon this information alone, we may require additional details. You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us. We will respond to verifiable requests received from California consumers as required by law.
Under California’s Shine the Light law, California residents who provide us certain personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any, and as defined under the law) that we have shared with third parties during the preceding calendar year for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information in this way.

CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS
Allegion is a global group of companies. Please note that we may use, disclose, process, transfer, or store information, including personal information, outside the country in which it was collected, such as to the United States and other countries, which may not guarantee the same level of protection for personal information as the country in which you reside.
Additionally, there are situations when personal information is transmitted to third-party service providers (in the United States and/or other countries, including countries in which Allegion operates or has offices) to provide services for Allegion, such as payment processing, web hosting, and other services required by law. Allegion uses third-party service providers to process personal information for service-related and administrative purposes. Such service providers are located in the United States and other locations where Allegion does business. When Allegion retains another company to perform a function of this nature, such third party will be required to protect the personal information and will not be authorized to use the personal information for any other purpose than to perform the intended function.
Several countries require that organizations put in special protections when information is shared cross border. We comply with those obligations and have implemented intercompany mechanisms to meet those requirements. For example, if our processing of your personal information is subject to the United Kingdom (“UK”) or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) data protection laws, each recipient of your personal information will observe appropriate safeguards with regard to the processing of your personal information. Such safeguards will be the consequence of:
-
The recipient country having legislation in place which is considered as providing an adequate level of data protection according to UK and EEA standards;
-
Other appropriate measures, as available under applicable laws, including standard contractual clauses for transfers adopted by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
Where required by such laws, you may request a copy of the suitable mechanisms we have in place by contacting us. If the applicable law requires your prior consent for the cross-border transfer of your personal information, we will ask you for such consent.
