YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM ANY MATERIAL AND/OR DATA ACCESSED OR DOWNLOADED FROM OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED THROUGH THE AARON'S SERVICES. THE AARON'S SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. NEITHER WE NOR OUR SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT THE SUITABILITY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, TIMELINESS, AND ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND RELATED GRAPHICS CONTAINED IN THE AARON'S SERVICES FOR ANY PURPOSE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AARON'S, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES, FRANCHISEES, AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, LEGAL, STATUTORY, CONTRACTUAL, EXTRA-CONTRACTUAL, DELICTUAL OR IN TORT, AND WHETHER ARISING BY LAW, STATUTE, USAGE OF TRADE, CUSTOM, COURSE OF DEALING OR PERFORMANCE, OR THE PARTIES' CONDUCT OR COMMUNICATION WITH ONE ANOTHER, OR AS A RESULT OF THE NATURE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN CONFORMITY WITH USAGE, EQUITY OR LAW, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, WORKMANSHIP, CONFORMITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR GENERAL PURPOSE, TITLE, OWNERSHIP, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

DISPUTES/ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER

1. DISPUTES SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION/ CLASS ACTION WAIVER YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE AARON'S SERVICES ("Disputes") SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN LITIGATION IN COURT. This Agreement to arbitrate applies to all Disputes, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal or equitable theory. Notwithstanding this Arbitration Agreement, you or Aaron's may bring Disputes in an appropriate small claims court so long as the relief requested falls within the jurisdiction of the small claims court, but neither you nor Aaron's may bring claims in any other court. You and we agree that any questions about the scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement will be decided by a court, not the arbitrator. You agree that we may file a lawsuit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO BRING A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR TO SEEK RELIEF ON BEHALF OF A CLASS IN ARBITRATION. YOU ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR TO PARTICIPATE OR OBTAIN BENEFITS IN A CLASS ACTION SOMEONE ELSE BRINGS IN COURT. You and we acknowledge that this class action waiver is integral to the Arbitration Agreement. If a court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver is invalid or unenforceable, you and we both agree that this Arbitration Agreement will not apply, and any Dispute shall be resolved in court. That is, you and we agree that this class action waiver cannot be severed from this Arbitration Agreement. It is the express intention of both parties not to proceed with any Dispute by way of class arbitration. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Arbitration is a process to resolve disputes before a neutral person (an arbitrator) instead of having a trial in court with a judge and/or jury.THEREFORE, BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. YOU ARE ALSO WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO BRING CLAIMS IN COURT AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court except that, in the case of injunctive or declaratory relief, an arbitrator cannot issue an injunction or declaratory judgment that extends beyond you and Aaron's and affects Aaron's obligations or liability to other parties. An arbitrator can, however, issue an injunction or declaratory judgment on your claims so long as it is limited to providing you with individual relief. Arbitration is more informal than litigation and generally provides a quicker and more cost-effective way to resolve Disputes, but there is only limited discovery in arbitration, and there is only very limited review of an arbitrator's decision.

2. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES AND RULES You and Aaron's agree that this Arbitration Agreement is subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. Arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Consumer Related Disputes Supplemental Procedures. Those rules are available at www.adr.org. or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A single arbitrator will decide our Disputes. To initiate an arbitration, you must file a demand for arbitration with the AAA, following the AAA's rules and procedures as set forth at www.adr.org. Arbitration shall be held in the state in which you reside at the time you initiate the arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

3. COSTS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES IN ARBITRATION If you file an arbitration claim against Aaron's hereunder, Aaron's agrees to pay the AAA initial filing fee on your behalf for claims totaling less than $1,000, unless the arbitrator determines that the claims are frivolous. Except for such initial filing fee, you and we agree that we will each be responsible for our own costs and attorneys' fees in arbitration. The arbitrator's fees will be divided between us as set forth in the AAA's Consumer Related Disputes Supplemental Procedures. If you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, Aaron's agrees to pay you for any arbitrator fees you paid in the arbitration or to pay the arbitrator for any fees owed by you. If you prevail in the arbitration and are entitled to recover your attorneys' fees or costs under an applicable statute or common law doctrine, then the arbitrator has the authority to award you such fees and costs but is not required to do so. Aaron's agrees that it will not seek to recover its attorneys' fees and costs from you even if it prevails in the arbitration and is entitled to recover those fees and costs under an applicable statute or common law doctrine, unless the arbitrator determines that the claims are frivolous.

GENERAL

Use of the Aaron's Services is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms of Service. By using the Aaron's Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Georgia, U.S.A. without regard to its conflict of law provisions, will govern these Terms of Service and any dispute that might arise between you and Aaron's. Except with respect to Disputes to be resolved through an arbitration process in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement contained above, you and Aaron's hereby consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Atlanta, Georgia to resolve any Dispute arising out of the Agreement. YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, CROSS-CLAIMS, OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE AARON'S SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. AFTER SUCH PERIOD, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED. You agree that you are not entering into a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship with us as a result of these Terms of Service or use of the Aaron's Services. Our performance of these Terms of Service is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Service are in derogation of our right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Aaron's Services or information provided to or gathered by us with respect to such use. No failure or delay on our part to exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms of Service will operate as a waiver of such provision or any rights, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise of any other right. If any part of these Terms of Service 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 shall be deleted and the remainder of the Terms of Service shall be in full force and effect. The Section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms of Service operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. These Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between the user and us with respect to the Aaron's Services and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the user and us with respect to the Aaron's Services. This Agreement shall not be assignable by you, either in whole or in part. Aaron's reserves the right to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement. It is the express wish of the parties that this agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English. Les signataires confirment leur volonté que la présente convention, de même que tous les documents s'y rattachant, y compris tout avis, annexe et autorisation, soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

CUSTOMER TRANSACTION - CONFLICTS

You expressly agree that these Terms of Service for use of the Aaron's Services are independent and separate from the contract for a purchase or lease transaction that you enter into with us, including the Aaron's Arbitration Agreement entered into in connection with a purchase or lease transaction. Any lease transaction with us is governed by your Lease Purchase Agreement, Rent to Own Agreement, Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement, Lease Agreement with an Option to Purchase, Lease Agreement, or Rental Purchase Agreement (as denominated under state law) and is the only contract between you and us with respect to the merchandise and services set forth in that contract. Nothing in these Terms of Service should be interpreted to change or modify any terms of that contract, or the Aaron's Arbitration Agreement entered into in connection with a purchase or lease contract, or to create a separate contract between you and us regarding the purchase or lease transaction. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Service and the contract covering your purchase or lease transaction or the Aaron's Arbitration Agreement entered into in connection with a purchase or lease contract, the contract covering your purchase or lease transaction and such Aaron's Arbitration Agreement, will apply and prevail.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as e-mails, texts, mobile push notices, or notices and messages on or through the Aaron's Services, and you can retain copies of these communications for your records. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
