4.1 Payments to Race Roster
You understand and agree that Organizers or non-Organizers may charge you a registration fee associated with your participation in an event or donation to a charity. Included in the listed registration fee amount is a convenience fee and service tax charged to you by Race Roster for using the Services. The convenience fee will be noted on your receipt from Race Roster following registration.
Withholding Taxes. Race Roster may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
Indirect Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all payments under this Agreement are exclusive of indirect taxes (VAT, GST, Sales Tax and similar). If any amount of Indirect Tax is chargeable in respect of a payment under this Agreement, the Registrant shall pay such Indirect Tax at the applicable rate in respect of such payment following the receipt of an invoice in the appropriate form from Race Roster in respect of those payments. Such Indirect Tax shall be payable at time of collection of Event registration and convenience fees.
4.2 Independent Relationship of FPMs.
When using a FPM, Organizers and Registrants effect the applicable monetary payment transaction through the FPM service, and are bound by the applicable terms of use governing the FPM service. These FPMs manage the routing of applicable information through the credit card and electronic check processing networks, as applicable. We are not affiliated with these FPMs, and we are not responsible in any way for the actions or performance (or lack thereof) of any of these providers. Accordingly, Race Roster expressly disclaims responsibility and liability for all services provided by any such providers, and you hereby agree that Race Roster shall not be responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of such services. Please also note that these providers will have access to the information you provide to them when making a payment transaction.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that, for all payment transactions, (1) you will not use an invalid or unauthorized credit or debit card or other payment method; (2) all payment transactions are final and non-refundable. If you have any questions regarding any payment transaction, please contact us at support@raceroster.com.
4.3 Refunds.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that all issues related to refunds, chargebacks, payment disputes or related issues shall be communicated to, and handled by, the Organizer(s). In no way is Race Roster responsible for the payment of any refunds.
Race Roster may make themselves available for communications or disputes regarding refunds between the Organizer and Registrant, in Race Roster’s sole discretion. Race Roster will always seek the confirmation of the Organizer prior to discussing a refund. In cases in which Race Roster makes themselves available for communications regarding disputes, while Race Roster will act as a resource for Registrants wishing to request a refund, Race Roster will not process refunds. In the event of a dispute, errors in issuing refunds, or lack of refunds in connection with the service, if Race Roster makes themselves available to help adjudicate any such dispute, Race Roster shall determine the resolution, in their sole discretion.
4.4 Disclaimer Concerning Tax Deductible Nature of Payments
Race Roster makes no representation to you as to whether all or any portion of your payment for an Event is tax-deductible. Race Roster is not liable for any claim by any federal, state, local or any other tax authority with respect to the characterization on any applicable tax return of your payment for such Event. You should consult your tax advisor as to whether and the extent to which any portion of your payment is tax-deductible.
4.5 Payments to Promoters
Promoters are paid when their balance owed equals $15 or greater. Checks are sent out to promoters on a semi-monthly basis. Race Roster reserves the right to withhold promotional payouts at their discretion. As an example, possible reasons for holding back promotional payouts include false registrations or misuse of promotional links.

20.4 Disputes/Binding Arbitration/No Class Relief.
To the fullest extent permissible by law, with the exception of disputes pertaining to Race Roster’s intellectual property rights and certain statutory claims that, pursuant to law, are not arbitrable, any dispute of any kind between you and Race Roster including, without limitation, arising under these Terms; your visit to Race Roster’s websites, mobile applications, or retail stores; or to any purchase, transaction, or other interaction with Race Roster (including, without limitation, claims relating to Race Roster’s advertisements, pricing, and disclosures; email, SMS or other messages sent by Race Roster; or Race Roster’s collection, processing or retention of your information) (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to these exclusive dispute resolution procedures, except that you may assert claims in small claims court or seek action through government agencies.
Opt-out: You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to Race Roster at 125 Summer Street, Fl. 2, Boston, MA 02111; Attn: Legal Department (the “Notice Address”), within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms. The letter must be signed personally by you or your legal guardian and specify: (1) your first and last name; (2) your mailing address; (3) your email address; and (4) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: Whenever a Dispute arises between you and Race Roster, you and Race Roster agree to first send a written notice to the other (a “Demand”). You must send the Demand to Race Roster via certified mail to the Notice Address. Race Roster must send the Demand to you via certified mail to the most recent address Race Roster has on file for you (or by email if Race Roster only has an email address for you on file). A Demand (1) shall seek to resolve a Dispute only on an individual basis; (2) shall state the full basis for the Dispute (including the details about the Dispute sufficient for the recipient to review and respond) and the date that the Dispute arose; (3) shall provide the individual claimant’s full name, phone number, and email address to confirm their identity and to aid communication; and (4) shall be personally signed by the individual claimant or for Race Roster by its authorized representative (and not only their counsel). Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of a Demand, the recipient may request an individualized video or telephone conference to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute which both you and Race Roster will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). You and Race Roster agree that you and Race Roster will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until after the period to request a conference expires or, if a conference is requested, twenty (20) business days after the individualized conference is completed. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution procedure section is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating any lawsuit or arbitration. This procedure is essential to providing each of us a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. Any applicable limitations periods and filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the process set forth above. A court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or prosecution of a lawsuit or arbitration if these requirements have not been met.
Arbitration Procedure: If the Dispute stated in the Demand is not resolved to your or Race Roster’s satisfaction within the time periods set forth above for Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and you or Race Roster intend on taking legal action, you and Race Roster agree that you or Race Roster shall file a demand for arbitration with National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) (https://www.namadr.com/). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator with NAM under its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Procedures and Rules then in effect subject to the Mass Arbitration provisions below. You or Race Roster may choose to have the arbitration based only on written submissions or to attend in-person, by telephone or video conference. The arbitration will be kept confidential except as may lawfully be required.
Payment of all fees will be governed by the NAM rules. Either you or Race Roster may seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration if the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION unless the Mass Arbitration provisions set forth below are triggered. NEITHER YOU NOR RACE ROSTER MAY ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, NOR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM.
Mass Arbitration: If, at any time, 25 or more claimants submit demands or seek to file demands for arbitration raising similar Disputes against Race Roster, and such circumstances meet the definition and criteria of Mass Filings (“Mass Filing”) set forth in NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules” then in effect, available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/) such as where representation of the claimants is the same, consistent or coordinated across the cases, the NAM Mass Filing Rules in effect at the time such demand is filed shall apply as modified below. You agree that throughout this process, the parties’ counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Filing, the adjudication of your dispute might be delayed.
Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Race Roster shall each select 5 claims per side and the NAM Procedural Arbitrator will randomly select 15 claims (25 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. Either party may appeal a decision/award rendered in an individual arbitration pursuant to NAM’s Appellate Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the decision/award is rendered. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Race Roster will pay the mediator’s fee. The pendency of any appeal shall not delay this global mediation.
Stage Two: If the remaining claims are not resolved after the global mediation in Stage One, then counsel for the claimants and counsel for Race Roster shall each select 10 claims per side and the NAM Procedural Arbitrator will randomly select 30 claims (50 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they proceed in arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. Either party may appeal a decision/award rendered in an individual arbitration pursuant to NAM’s Appellate Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the decision/award is rendered. After this second set of staged proceedings is completed, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and Race Roster will pay the mediator’s fee. The pendency of any appeal shall not delay this global mediation.
If your Claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:
Option One: You and Race Roster may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with these Terms on an individual basis (not a class or consolidated basis). You may opt out of arbitration by sending us your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by certified mail addressed to the Notice Address. Such an opt-out notice must be sent by you personally, and not by your agent, attorney, or anyone else purporting to act on your behalf. It must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage 2 including its mediation. Race Roster may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending a notice signed by an authorized Race Roster representative of Race Roster’s intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30-day opt out period. Counsel for the parties may agree in writing to adjust these deadlines.
OR
Option Two: If neither you nor Race Roster elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your claim will be batched by the NAM Procedural Arbitrator into groups of 500 claimants, to be filed and to proceed in separate consolidated arbitrations, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these consolidated arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Either party may appeal a decision/award rendered in a consolidated arbitration pursuant to NAM’s Appellate Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the decision/award is rendered. Counsel for the parties are encouraged to meet and confer, participate in mediation, and engage with each other and with NAM (including through a Procedural Arbitrator, as such term is used in the NAM Rules) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claims, promote efficiencies, conserve resources, and resolve the remaining claims.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Filing provisions and, if necessary, to enjoin any lawsuit and the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. You and Race Roster agree that each party values the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wishes to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between the parties. You and Race Roster acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. You and Race Roster further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases. If any part of this Mass Arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the NAM rules, then the balance of this Mass Arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein unless the lack of such provision would lead this Mass Arbitration provision to fail of its essential purpose. If the staging process of this Mass Arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the NAM rules, then the remaining claims shall be subject to Option One or Option Two above as selected by you or Race Roster. If the Mass Filing provisions apply to your claim, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Mass Filing provisions are not enforceable as to your claim, then your claim will proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction on an individual basis (not a class or consolidated basis).
In the event of an exercise of an opt out of binding arbitration as provided above, all such Disputes shall be exclusively brought in the applicable state or federal courts of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. You agree and consent to waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens (i.e., inconvenient forum) with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Suffolk County, Massachusetts. You consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in these courts.
You agree that any and all claims be brought by you within one (1) year after the claim arises, except to the extent a longer period is required by applicable law.
This Section of these Terms will survive the termination of the relationship with you and Race Roster.
If you are using the Services in Australia or if you are outside of Australia and are an Australian citizen or person ordinarily resident within Australia: If any controversy, allegation, or claim (including any non-contractual claim) arises out of these TOS then you and we agree to send a written notice to Race Roster providing a reasonable description of the dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Race Roster and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the dispute, though nothing will require either you or Race Roster to resolve the dispute on terms either you or Race Roster, in each of our sole discretion, are uncomfortable with. Nothing in this Section will prevent a party from pursuing their claims in Court or another complaint process.
