HGVUS, LLC (“we,” “us” and “our”) operates the www.medimetre.com website (the “Site”), as well as other websites that have the same or similar content (collectively, the “RZU Websites”), where you can earn incentives – merchandise or gift cards (“Incentives”) – by completing best pay-for-participation surveys (“Free Survey Links”). By accessing and using the RZU Websites, you agree to and accept these Terms & Conditions, as well as our Privacy Policy and any additional terms, conditions and policies published on RZU Websites (collectively, the “Agreement”). If you do not agree to and accept the terms of the Agreement in their entirety, you do not have permission to visit and/or use any of the RZU Websites.
1. Mandatory Arbitration
These Terms & Conditions contain a mandatory arbitration provision, as detailed below, that requires you to arbitrate, individually, all disputes or claims you may have with us, our parent, related parties, advertiser clients and marketing partners (collectively, “Marketing Partners”) who are third-party beneficiaries of the mandatory arbitration provision. Thus, for example, if you provide prior express written consent to be contacted via telemarketing or SMS/text messaging, any claims that you may have regarding any telemarketing or SMS/text messages that you receive are subject to the mandatory arbitration provision. The mandatory arbitration provision also waives your right to participate in a class action or multi-party arbitration. There are two narrow exceptions to the mandatory arbitration provision: (1) you may opt-out by providing written notice of your decision to do so within thirty (30) days of the date that you first register on a RZU Website; and (2) you may opt-out by filing a claim in Small Claims court provided the requirements described below are met.
2. How the Site Works
We comb the Internet for links to sites that offer the Free Survey Links and provide the Free Survey Links to our users. We also display offers for income-earning opportunities (“Earning Opportunities”) such as becoming a call car driver, to qualified users. Not all users will qualify for each survey or for every Earning Opportunity. We may not display a survey offer or an Earning Opportunity to a user if we believe they don’t qualify for the offer or Earning Opportunity.
We may also display ads and other promotions for various goods or services offered by our marketing partners.
We’re able to provide the Free Survey Links and Earning Opportunities at no charge to our users by our users providing us within formation about themselves that enables us to identify products and services that may interest them and sharing this information with our marketing partners in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Our marketing partners and survey and Earning Opportunity providers (“Providers”) compensate us for connecting them with interested consumers.
To qualify to get access to the Free Survey Links, Earning Opportunities and other promotions, you will need to enter a valid e-mail address and other identifying information (name, address, etc.) and respond to a series of survey questions in the “Qualifying Survey.” At the end of the Qualifying Survey, you will need to agree to be contacted by our marketing partners, typically via email. We also ask you to consent to be called and/or texted by certain named marketing partners. You do not need to consent to be called or texted to purchase the advertised item or to gain access to the Free Survey Links or to be displayed an Earning Opportunity. We may then display third-party ads and offers; you have no obligation to purchase or respond to any of the advertised offers. We will then display Free Survey Links and Earning Opportunities to qualified users. If you click on a particular link, you will be directed to a website operated by the provider of the Free Survey or Earning Opportunity. Follow the instructions on that website. The available surveys and Earning Opportunities may change from time to time so please stop back and see what’s available.

11. Arbitration/Dispute Resolution
You agree to arbitrate any and all claims arising out of or related to the Agreement. If you have a dispute concerning any aspect of the Agreement, including without limitation, your participation in a Promotion, entitlement to an Incentive or a telemarketing call or SMS/text message that you received from us or a Marketing Partner, you should first contact customer support on the RZU Website or complete a customer support ticket. We will attempt to resolve the matter to your satisfaction within thirty (30) days of our receipt of a customer support ticket.
An AAA arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute or claims that you may have with us—and our Marketing Partners who are third-party beneficiaries of the mandatory arbitration provision—arising out of or related to the Agreement. Matters subject to mandatory arbitration include, without limitation, whether this Arbitration/Dispute Resolution provision applies to your particular claim or dispute, and any claim that all or any part of the Agreement, including this provision, are/is unenforceable. If the claim is against us, you will need our mailing address to file online.
Either party may submit the dispute for resolution by arbitration at a location reasonably convenient to both parties. If either party files for arbitration, it will be conducted in accordance with the then current AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.
If you proceed to arbitration against us, you will pay all AAA filing fees and we will pay for all administration and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). For claims brought by you of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions. The arbitrator may award any form of individual or equitable relief, including injunctive relief. Any award will be final and conclusive to the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you initiate arbitration against us and the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our final written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then we will pay you a minimum recovery of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus we will reimburse any reasonable expenses incurred by your attorney, if any, including fees reasonably accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Although under some laws we may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we agree that we will not seek such an award from you. You and your attorneys are not required to keep the results of the arbitration confidential. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in such a suit
Class Action Waiver. The arbitration provision contained in these Terms & Conditions does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits is an independent agreement.
Exceptions to Mandatory Arbitration. There are two narrow exceptions to mandatory arbitration. First, you may opt-out of the Arbitration/Dispute Resolution provision by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first register on the RZU Website. To obtain our mailing address, contact us
Second, you may choose to pursue your dispute or claim in Small Claims Court rather than by arbitration but only if your dispute or claim qualifies for Small Claims Court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over both you and RZU is proper.
Other than these two exceptions, you must arbitrate any claims as provided above.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, VIA YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AS WELL AS YOUR RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN OR PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR MULTI-PARTY ARBITRATION BROUGHT AGAINST US, OUR MARKETING PARTNERS OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER USED BY US TO PROVIDE THE SUBJECT SERVICE.
