10. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement

We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Site if you bring that issue to our attention.  Nevertheless, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s satisfaction.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site will be resolved by binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, either party must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing the claim to the other party. If you are sending an arbitration request letter to AAA Club Alliance, such letter shall be sent to:  AAA Club Alliance Inc., One River Place, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: Legal Department or by e-mail to AAALegal@aaamidatlantic.com. The arbitration will be conducted by one mutually acceptable arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The American Arbitration Association’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration, if in person, will be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the American Arbitration Association rules. In addition, YOU AND AAA CLUB ALLIANCE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  Further, unless both you and AAA Club Alliance agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 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 that party’s individual claim.

If this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, then exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware. You further agree and expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction in the courts of the State of Delaware in connection with any such claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. You and AAA Club Alliance both agree that you or AAA Club Alliance may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

11. Governing Law

All matters relating to the Site and these Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

12. Waiver

No waiver of by the AAA Club Alliance of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the AAA Club Alliance to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

14. Complete Agreement

These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the use of the Site and Content.

We utilize a variety of industry standard security technologies and have internal security practices to safeguard the information we have about you and to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your Personal Information and transactions with us, and to comply with applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and industry regulations. We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to restrict access to all of your Personal Information and account information to those AAA Club Alliance employees, agents, independent contractors or service providers who have a legitimate business need for such information with respect to our services and we require them to agree to protect such information. However, the security of information transmitted through the Internet or via e-mail or other means, can never be guaranteed. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications by you through the Internet or sent to us through your email, or for changes to or losses of data. Users of the Website are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Website. You should recognize that your use of the Internet and the Website is solely at your own risk.  However, we do offer to members an identity theft monitoring program that may help you safeguard your financial security. If any data security breach of any personal information or confidential information is suspected or has occurred, we may suspend use of any of the Website, mobile applications or other systems, without notice, to protect personal information and any other types of information while we investigate the issue. Access to and use of password-protected and/or secure areas of any of the Website, mobile applications or other systems is restricted to authorized users only. Unauthorized access to such areas is prohibited. 

Mobile Computing

We may provide Websites and online resources that are specifically designed to be compatible with and used on mobile computing devices.  Mobile versions of our Website or other mobile applications may require that users log in with an account.  In such cases, information about the use of each mobile version of the Website may be associated with user accounts.  In addition, we may enable individuals to download an application, widget or other tool that can be used on mobile or other computing devices. Some of these tools may store information on mobile or other devices.  These tools may transmit information to us to enable you to access user accounts and to enable us to track use of these tools, such as location services so we can provide you with services.  We may use Personal Information or non-identifiable information transmitted to us to enhance these tools, to develop new tools, for quality improvement and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or in other notices we provide.

Emails and Text Messages

You may receive emails or text messages from us if you have provided us with your email address or cell phone number, unless you have opted out of receiving these.  You can opt out by (i) clicking on the links available in our emails, or as may be stated in the text message, or (ii) by going online to the Preference Center, where you may opt out of different kinds of emails, text alerts, phone calls or postal communications, or (iii) by contacting us as provided in this Privacy Policy.  Our Text Alert Policy is available at https://cluballiance.aaa.com/mobile-services/text-alerts-terms-and-conditions?rdl=midatlantic.aaa.com.

We try to strike a balance between the security of your Personal Information and account information and your convenience.  We note that we may send you an e-mail or a text message in unencrypted form (i.e. instantly readable) because many of our members and customers are unable to access encrypted (i.e. coded) e-mails or texts. This means that such message, if misrouted or intercepted, could be read more easily than encrypted messages. For this reason, please do not include confidential information or certain Personal Information, such as your credit card number, passport numbers, driver’s license numbers, or account passwords, in any unencrypted e-mail or text you send to us.

On our Website, you may be able to choose to use a send or share service to send information from the Website to someone else.  In such case we will ask you for certain Personal Information of such persons, such as their email address, as well as your name and email address.  The information you provide will be used to send a single message by us on your behalf.  This information will not be collected or stored for any additional purpose.  By providing us with this information you affirm that you are entitled to provide it to us.

Social Media

We may also enable you to post content to social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube) for purposes such as answering some questions or asking questions or providing comments.  If you choose to do this you acknowledge that you are responsible for your use of a social networking site.  We are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of such social networking sites or your use of such sites. You also should not include any confidential information and certain types of Personal Information in any post you make to a public area of a third party social network page, especially since any such posting immediately becomes public.

Linking From AAA.com to other Websites

For your convenience, we may provide links on our Website to third party websites. We may also provide links to third party websites of our business partners or certain service providers so that they can provide you with the products or services that you request. For example, when you book travel through us or certain of our affiliates, we may direct you to the booking system of our third party service provider which is hosted by them on their own website. Please remember that this Privacy Policy is not applicable to such third party websites and that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. Your browsing, use of your email address, providing any information including Personal Information, and interaction on any other website, including sites which have a link on this Website, are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of that website. Please read over those terms, conditions and policies before proceeding. 

Note about Children

We do not knowingly solicit, collect or maintain Personal Information directly from any person under the age of thirteen (however, if their Personal Information is provided to us by their parents, for example, in connection with travel services or transportation services, such persons are therefore providing any legally required parental consents by doing this).  No parts of our Services are directed to or designed to attract anyone under the age of thirteen directly. 

Our Use of Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising

We use “cookies” or “web beacons” (also called “clear GIFs” or “pixel tags”) to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our Website.   

What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the Website for record keeping and other purposes. Cookies make navigating the Web easier for you by saving your registration, passwords and preferences while you’re at the Website. By using cookies, we can serve you better since they help us understand what information interests you.

The use of cookies is an industry standard; most major websites use them. Cookies come in two types that might be used on our Website: a persistent cookie and a session cookie. A persistent cookie gets entered by your Web browser in the “cookies” folder on your computer and remains in this folder after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. A session cookie is held temporarily in your computer’s memory and disappears after you close your browser or shut off your computer.

Web beacons are small graphic files with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies which are used to track online movements of Web users.

We may work with third parties, including advertising companies, media agencies, and website analysis firms, who also use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Website and third party sites. This non-personally identifiable information is typically used by these third party advertising companies (i.e., advertising networks) to serve you with advertisements tailored to meet your interests and needs while on third party sites. 

Here are some examples of how we use cookies and web beacons:

Our use of cookies and web beacons includes login verification, session management, load balancing and personalization to enhance your user experience. A cookie lets our computers remember that you’ve registered, which allows us to speed up your future activities at our Website. Using cookies to do this record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again. For example, when you initially visit AAA.com, a persistent cookie is used to capture your zip code to make it easier to ensure you visit the appropriate AAA club website. We also use cookies to estimate the number of visitors to our Website, track visits to and sales at the sites referenced on our Website, and analyze our users’, members’ and customers’ visiting patterns. Similarly, cookies help us tailor our product and service offerings, and those of our business partners, to suit your personal interests, and for that reason we may share cookies that contain your email address or AAA membership number with our business partners.   

We also use clear gif tracking images on some of our pages and in our HTML e-mails that we send you to determine open rates.

We use web analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to help analyze how users use the Website. The web analytics tools use cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including IP address) is transmitted to our web analytics service providers. This information is then used to evaluate visitors’ use of the Website and to compile statistical reports on Website activity for us. By using our Website or mobile applications you consent to the processing of information about you by web analytics services.

We do not use cookies to store any of your Personal Information or financial information on your computer. Also, we do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally provided by you or provided by your browser in a visit to our Website. Once you visit or click on a link to third party websites, their sites may use cookies. We do not control what information those websites collect or their use of cookies, and they are not subject to our Privacy Policy, including the use of cookies.

What to do if you do not want cookies used:

If you do not want cookies used in connection with your visit to our Website, or if you wish to limit their use, you can generally adjust your browser settings on your computer. Most Internet browsers allow you to set your own preferences for use of cookies, and websites may let you accept or not accept the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies and interest-based advertising, or to opt out of cookies, visit the opt-out services of the National Advertising Initiative here:  http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices, or visit www.aboutads.info , and follow the simple opt-out process. If you decline cookies, you may have difficulty navigating our Website, which could adversely impact your AAA online experience. A couple of important notes about this opt-out tool: (1) it includes all the advertising networks that we may work with, and many advertising networks that we do not work with, and (2) it may rely on cookies (called “Opt-out Cookies”) to ensure that a given advertising network does not collect information about you. An explanation of how Opt-out Cookies work can be found on www.aboutads.info. If you use different equipment, change web browsers or delete these Opt-out Cookies from your computer, you will need to perform the opt-out task again. Visitors desiring to prevent data from being collected by Google Analytics may use the opt-out browser add-on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ developed by Google for this purpose.

Do Not Track Features:

Certain browsers may offer you the option of providing notice to websites that you do not wish for your online activities to be tracked for interest based advertising purposes (“DNT Notice”). Some browsers are, by default, set to provide a DNT Notice, whether or not that reflects your preference. Providing DNT Notice is often touted as a means to ensure that cookies, web beacons and similar technology are not used for interest based advertising purposes – that is, to restrict the collection of non-personally identifiable information about your online activities for advertising purposes. Unfortunately, given how interest based advertising works, DNT Notices may not effectively accomplish this goal. For this and a variety of other reasons, we do not recognize or take any action in response to browser-based DNT Notices. Rather, if you do not wish to participate in interest-based advertising, you should follow the opt-out process described above in the “What to do if you do not want cookies used” section of the Privacy Policy.

CONSUMER PRIVACY NOTICE FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES

AAA Club Alliance Inc.

AAA Club Alliance Inc. and certain of its affiliates, including but not limited to ACA Club Insurance Agency, Inc. formerly known as Club Services Corporation, AAA Mid-Atlantic Insurance Agency Inc. and AAA Allied Insurance Services, Inc. (collectively for purposes of this Consumer Privacy Notice, “AAA Club Alliance”) may provide you with financial products and services such as insurance, automobile and personal loans, and online savings accounts and credit card applications. In connection with providing those financial products or services, AAA Club Alliance may obtain from you or others personally identifiable information that is not publicly available information (“nonpublic personal information”). This Consumer Privacy Notice applies to the collection, use and security of your nonpublic personal information by AAA Club Alliance.

What Information We Collect

Nonpublic personal information we may collect includes information we receive from you on applications or other forms, through conversations or by telephone, or email or text messages, information about your transactions with us, information provided by insurance-support organizations, Bureaus of Motor Vehicles, current and prior insurers, government agencies, credit reporting agencies information and information from your visits to our websites or mobile apps or if you are a member. For example, depending on the product, your nonpublic personal information includes your name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, personal demographics (gender, marital status and military identification information and veteran status), social security number, details of insurance coverage, claims, account and payment history, policy identification numbers, credit history and credit scores, credit card, bank account or debit card information, passport numbers, driver’s license numbers and vehicle identifiers, driving history and other motor vehicle records, employment information, income and tax data, personal health information (including diagnosis and treatment information, and biometric identifiers) and transactions history with us and our affiliates (individually or collectively your “NPI”).

What Information We Disclose

The limited circumstances under which we may disclose a customer’s NPI include: to the extent necessary to service or process an application or other services related to insurance or other financial products or services that you requested, authorized or are entitled to receive as a member; to maintain your account; with your consent or at your direction; to respond to a subpoena, court orders or legal investigation; to comply with federal, state or local laws or regulations; and to protect against fraud and identity theft. For example, in connection with issuing an insurance policy, we may disclose NPI to potential insurance companies and consumer reporting agencies. We may also disclose NPI to companies that perform services for us and with whom we have a non-disclosure agreement. For instance, we have service providers with whom we contract to process applications and renewals, administer the policy, and perform customer surveys and research. Information we obtain from a report prepared by an insurance-support organization may be retained and disclosed by that organization. We may also share NPI in the course of referring you to one of our other affiliates or to non-affiliates that market insurance or financial products that may be of interest to you. We may also share NPI with other AAA Clubs or financial institutions under joint marketing agreements, and with non-affiliates that help us develop and market insurance or financial products.

Our Security Procedures

We use administrative, technical, electronic and physical safeguards designed to protect your NPI and protect our information systems, comply with applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and industry requirements, and to restrict access to all of your NPI to those AAA Club Alliance employees and agents who need to know that information in order to serve you or to permitted service providers.

If you suspect any identity theft or fraud of your NPI, notify us and your local law enforcement agency.

Opt Out

Federal law gives you the right to limit sharing of NPI about your creditworthiness with our affiliates and to limit sharing of your NPI with our affiliates and non-affiliates for marketing purposes. If you choose to limit marketing with our affiliates, your choice will apply for at least five years from when you tell us your choice, and you do not need to act again until we send you a renewal notice.  You may contact us using the methods listed below to “opt out” of these types of sharing. Please note this ability to opt out only applies to certain types of sharing by AAA Club Alliance affiliates that provide financial products and services and not to any other services or products offered by AAA Club Alliance.
