Toybox Terms of Use
Last Updated: March 3, 2024
Welcome to Toybox. Please read this Terms of Use agreement (the “Terms of Use”) carefully. The Toybox website (the “Website”), mobile application (the “Mobile App”) and all services and resources available or enabled via the Website and/or Mobile App (each a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”), are offered by Toybox Labs, LLC (“Toybox”, “we”, or “us”). These Terms of Use, along with all supplemental terms that may be presented to you for your review and acceptance (collectively, the “Agreement”), govern your access to and use of the Services. By clicking on the “I Accept” button, completing the registration process, accessing the Website, downloading or using the Mobile App, or otherwise accessing or using any of the Services, you represent that (1) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the Agreement, (2) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Toybox, and (3) you have the authority to enter into the Agreement. The term “you” refers to the individual identified during the registration process. If you do not agree to be bound by the Agreement, you may not access or use any of the Services.
(U.S. RESIDENT ONLY) DISPUT RESOLUTION – IF YOU ARE A U.S. RESIDENT, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 13 (ARBITRATION AGREEMENT) OF THE AGREEMENT BELOW CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED. IN PARTICULAR, IT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
PERSONAL USE ONLY – THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY, AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL CAPACITY AND SUCH USE IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE DOING SO IN YOUR CAPACITY AS A CONSUMER. TOYBOX EXCLUDES ALL LIABILITY FOR BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL LOSSES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS – PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY TOYBOX IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. WHEN CHANGES ARE MADE, TOYBOX WILL MAKE A COPY OF THE UPDATED AGREEMENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICES AND UPDATE THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE AT THE TOP OF THESE TERMS OF USE. IF WE MAKE ANY MATERIAL CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT, WE WILL PROVIDE NOTICE OF SUCH MATERIAL CHANGES ON THE WEBSITE AND MOBILE APP. ANY CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR NEW USERS OF THE SERVICES AND WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR EXISTING REGISTERED USERS THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE AT THE TOP OF THESE TERMS OF USE.
USE OF THE SERVICES. The Services, and the information and content available on them, are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Unless subject to a separate license between you and Toybox, your right to use any and all Services is subject to the Agreement.

Furthermore, with respect to any Mobile App accessed through or downloaded from the Apple App Store (an “App Store Sourced Application”), you will only use such App Store Sourced Application (a) on an Apple-branded product that runs iOS or macOS (Apple’s proprietary operating systems) and (b) as permitted by the “Usage Rules” set forth in the Apple App Store Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this Section 1.1, with respect to any Mobile App accessed through or downloaded from the Google Play store (a “Google Play Sourced Application”), you may have additional license rights with respect to use of such Google Play Sourced Application on a shared basis within your designated family group.

REGISTRATION
Registering Your Account. In order to access certain features of the Services, you may be required to become a Registered User. For purposes of the Agreement, a “Registered User” is a user who has registered an account with Toybox through the Services (“Account”).
Registration Data. In registering an Account, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form (the “Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You represent that you are (i) at least eighteen (18) years old; and (ii) not a person barred from using the Services under the laws of the United States, your place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree that you shall monitor your Account to restrict use by any other persons, including minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any such unauthorized use. You may not share your Account login or password with anyone, and you agree to notify Toybox immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Toybox has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Toybox has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof). You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree that you shall not have more than one Account at any given time and that Toybox may merge any duplicate Accounts you may have created through different portions of the Services, including any associated data or Content (as defined below). You agree that if you have previously created an Account for one portion of the Services, Toybox may use your Registration Data to grant access to other portions of the Services. You agree not to create an Account or use the Services if you have been previously removed by Toybox, or if you have been previously banned from any of the Services.
Ownership of Your Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to your Account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Toybox.
Account Use by Minor Child. You may be permitted to create an Account for or grant access to your Account to any child: (i) that is under the age of eighteen (18); and (ii) to whom you are a parent or other legal guardian, in each case in accordance with the then-current policies and functionality of the Services. You are solely responsible for monitoring such child’s access to and use of the Services. Toybox shall have no liability to you in connection with any use of the Services by a child using your Account.
Necessary Equipment and Software. You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Services, including but not limited to, a mobile device that is suitable to connect with and use the Mobile App. You are solely responsible for any fees, including internet connection or mobile fees, that you incur when accessing the Services.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT
Types of Content. You acknowledge that all information, data, text, software, photographs, graphics, messages, tags and other materials accessible through the Services (collectively, “Content”) is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Toybox, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Services (“Your Content”), and that you and other Registered Users of the Services, and not Toybox, are similarly responsible for all Content that you and they make available through the Services (“User Content”).
No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content. You acknowledge that Toybox has no obligation to pre-screen User Content, although Toybox reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, or remove any User Content, including where it is required to do so under applicable law. By entering into the Agreement, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to Toybox’s monitoring of Your Content, subject always to Toybox’s Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat or text communications which have been reported to us by another user of the Services as potentially being in violation of the Agreement. In the event that Toybox pre-screens, refuses, or removes any of Your Content, you acknowledge that Toybox will do so for Toybox’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Toybox shall have the right to remove any of Your Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.
Storage. Toybox has no obligation to store any of Your Content. Toybox has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any User Content, including Your Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of any User Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Services. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for choosing the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not so choose, the Services may default to the most permissive setting.
OWNERSHIP
Services. Except with respect to Your Content and other User Content, you agree that Toybox and its suppliers own all rights, title and interest in the Services (including but not limited to, any computer code, themes, objects, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, audiovisual effects, methods of operation, moral rights, documentation, and Toybox software). You agree not to remove, alter or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying any Services.
Trademarks. Toybox’s name and all related stylizations, graphics, logos, service marks and trade names used on or in connection with any Services are the trademarks of Toybox and may not be used without permission in connection with your, or any third party, products or services. Third party trademarks, service marks and trade names that may appear on or in the Services are the property of their respective owners.
Your Content. Toybox does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, when you post or publish Your Content on or in any Services, you represent that you own or have all necessary rights to post or publish Your Content on or in the Services.
License to Your Content. Subject to any applicable Account settings that you select, you grant Toybox a fully paid, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, non-exclusive right (including any moral rights) and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display Your Content (in whole or in part) for the purposes of operating and providing the Services to you and to our other Registered Users. You agree that if you post Your Content to one portion of the Services, Toybox may use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform, and publicly display such Content to other portions of the Services. For clarity, Toybox may reproduce and display Your Content posted on one Mobile App on the other Mobile App. Please remember that other Registered Users may search for, see, use, modify and reproduce any of Your Content that you submit to any “public” area of the Services. You agree that you, not Toybox, are responsible for all of Your Content.
Feedback. You agree that submission of any ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals to Toybox through its suggestion, feedback, wiki, forum, or similar pages (“Feedback”) is at your own risk and that Toybox has no obligations (including without limitation obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You hereby grant to Toybox a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, and non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback, and to sublicense the foregoing rights, in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Services and/or Toybox’s business.
USER CONDUCT. As a condition of use, you agree not to use any of the Services for any purpose that is prohibited by this Agreement or by applicable law. You shall not (and shall not permit any third party to) either (a) take any action or (b) make available any Content on or through the Services that: (i) infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any intellectual property right, right of publicity, right of privacy or other right of any person or entity; (ii) is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, obscene, offensive, or profane; (iii) constitutes unauthorized or unsolicited advertising, junk or bulk email; (iv) involves commercial activities and/or sales, such as contests, sweepstakes, barter, advertising, or pyramid schemes without Toybox’s prior written consent; (v) impersonates any person or entity, including any employee or representative of Toybox; (vi) interferes with or attempt to interfere with the proper functioning of the Services or uses the Services in any way not expressly permitted by the Agreement; or (vii) attempts to engage in or engages in, any potentially harmful acts that are directed against the Services, including but not limited to violating or attempting to violate any security features of the Services, introducing viruses, worms, or similar harmful code into the Services, or interfering or attempting to interfere with use of the Services by any other user, host or network, including by means of overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mail bombing,” or “crashing” the Services.
INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS
Communication. The Services may from time to time offer interactive communication features. Please be aware that these features are public or may be subject to public access. You acknowledge that any such features offered on the Services are for public and not private communications. You are responsible for any Content you post and the consequences of posting such Content, as well as your interactions with third parties through our Services. Your use of or reliance on User Content is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for it. We reserve the right to remove without notice any Content for any reason, but we have no obligation to delete Content that you may find objectionable or offensive. Information and opinions expressed in public forums or other interactive communications by others are not necessarily ours. Toybox does not approve, endorse, or make any representations or warranties with respect to User Content.
Anonymity. You may not post the full name, personal or biographical information, address, phone number, social media handle, photograph, or any other personally identifiable information about yourself or anyone else on the Services.
User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Registered Users and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that Toybox reserves the right, but has no obligation, to intercede in such disputes. Such dealings are solely between you and such third parties. Please use respect when you interact with others through our Services. We urge you to be cautious about these interactions. You agree that Toybox will not be responsible for any liability incurred as the result of such interactions. You use all User Content and interact with other Registered Users at your own risk.
INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Toybox, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “Toybox Party” and collectively, the “Toybox Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of any Service in violation of the Agreement; (c) your violation of any rights of another party, including any Registered Users; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Toybox reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to fully cooperate with Toybox in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the Toybox Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this Section 7 will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement, and/or your access to the Services.

MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT. Toybox reserves the right to: (a) remove or refuse to post any of Your Content for any or no reason in our sole discretion; (b) take any action with respect to any of Your Content that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such Content violates the Agreement, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or could create liability for Toybox; (c) take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services; and/or (d) terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Services for any or no reason, including without limitation, any violation of this Agreement.
TERM AND TERMINATION
Term. The Agreement commences on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement.
Termination of Services by Toybox. Toybox has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Services provided to you. You agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Toybox’s sole discretion and that Toybox shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.
Termination of Services by You. If you want to terminate the Services provided by Toybox, you may do so by: (a) notifying Toybox at any time; and (b) closing your Account for all of the Services that you use. Your notice should be sent to Toybox’s email address set forth below.
Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Services. Termination of all Services also includes deletion of all related information, files, and Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof), including Your Content. Upon termination of any Services, your right to use such Services will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Your Content associated therewith from our live databases. Toybox will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
No Subsequent Registration. If your registration(s) with, or ability to access, the Services or any other Toybox community, is discontinued by Toybox due to your violation of any portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services or any Toybox community through use of a different email address or otherwise. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Toybox reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.
INTERNATIONAL USERS. The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Toybox intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. The Services are controlled and offered by Toybox from its facilities in the United States of America. Toybox makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
-
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (U.S. RESIDENTS ONLY). If you reside in the U.S., please read this Section 13 (sometimes referred to herein as this “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Toybox and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Toybox agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive from Toybox, or the Agreement and prior versions of the Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of the Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Toybox may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Toybox may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
-
Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Toybox. If that occurs, Toybox is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Toybox agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Toybox therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Toybox that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to support@toybox.com. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.
The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND TOYBOX HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Toybox are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 13.1. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND TOYBOX AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 13.9, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 13.9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this Section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Toybox agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the state of New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Toybox from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
-
Rules and Forum. The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and Toybox agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.
If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.
Unless you and Toybox otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 13.9 is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.
You and Toybox agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 13.9 is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to Section 13.4, including any claim that all or part of Section 13.4 is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that Section 13.4 has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in Section 13.9, all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in Section 13.9. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Toybox need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Toybox agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Toybox by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of one hundred (100) Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than one hundred (100) Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Toybox.
You and Toybox agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.
This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
