Toshiba Smart Home Services Terms of Use

This is an agreement between you and TVS REGZA Corporation (“TVS” or "we"). Before using any compatible device web apps, mobile apps, subscription service or accessing the TSB-SmartHome.com website, please read this entire document..

TVS provides: (1) a user account website that may be accessed at www.TSB-SmartHome.com (“Site”), (2) services accessible through the Site (“Web Apps”), (3) software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services (“Mobile Apps”), and (4) subscription services, including services that can be accessed using the Web Apps and Mobile Apps (“Subscription Services”), all for use in conjunction with a compatible device (“Device”). Some TVS products and services can be used together or in ways that integrate with products and services from third parties, such as Amazon’s Alexa Voice Service. The term “Toshiba Smart Home Services” means the Site, Web Apps, Mobile Apps and Subscription Services.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Toshiba Smart Home Services. Please read these terms carefully. These Terms provide that all disputes between you and TVS will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under these Terms (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury and your claims cannot be brought as a class action. Please review the Dispute Resolution section below for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with TVS and your opportunity to opt out of mandatory arbitration.

The term “you,” as used in these Terms, means any person or entity who accesses or uses the Toshiba Smart Home Services and any person or entity who creates an Account and accepts these Terms. These Terms give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other legal rights in addition, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under these Terms will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.

Your purchase of any Device is governed by the limited warranty provided with that Device (“Limited Warranty”) and may further be governed by the Terms & Conditions of Sale. The software embedded in the Device (and any updates thereto) (“Device Software”) is licensed and governed by these Terms of Use. Certain features of the Toshiba Smart Home Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules. All additional guidelines, terms, or rules, and the Privacy Policy are incorporated by reference into these Terms and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by using the Toshiba Smart Home Services or Site.

  31. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

    • (a) Arbitration. TVS and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that arise from or relate to these Terms or the Toshiba Smart Home Services in any way, except for claims arising from bodily injury. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, including, for example:

      • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us that is created by or involves these Terms or the Toshiba Smart Home Services, regardless of the legal theory;

      • claims for mental or emotional distress or other emotional/mental injury arising from the relationship between us;

      • claims that arose before you accepted these Terms (such as claims related to disclosures or the marketing of the Toshiba Smart Home Services or the process for seeking approval to use the Toshiba Smart Home Services);

      • claims that may arise after the termination of your use of the Toshiba Smart Home Services or any agreement between us; and

      • claims brought by or against our respective subsidiaries, parent companies, members, affiliates (formerly, now or hereafter), as well as the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, and assigns of these entities, you, and TVS.

      This arbitration agreement does not preclude either of us from bringing an individualized action in small claims court. It also does not preclude either of us from seeking an individualized preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order, pending arbitration, in any court that has jurisdiction. Nor does this arbitration agreement bar you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. In addition, you or TVS may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect your or its trade secrets and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss or damage to its services in any court with competent jurisdiction.

      You agree that, by entering into this agreement, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

    • (b) Notice of disputes. If either of us intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to TVS should be sent via email to: TVS.TSB.SmartHome@toshiba-visual.com. TVS will send notice to you at the email and/or mailing addresses associated with your account. Your notice to TVS must (a) provide your name, mailing address, and email address; (b) describe the dispute; and (c) state the relief you are requesting. If we are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence arbitration.

    • (c) Arbitration procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider or the court shall appoint a substitute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you are receiving Services. If the value of your claim is $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or the arbitrability of disputes are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider but is not bound by rulings in other arbitrations between TVS and TVS users. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.

    • (d) Costs of arbitration. The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). TVS will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that TVS commences. If you provided TVS with 60 days’ notice of your intent to arbitrate before commencing arbitration and the value of your claim is $75,000 or less, TVS will pay your share of any such AAA fees. If the value of your claim exceeds $75,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by the AAA Rules (unless the law of your state requires TVS to pay all such fees). If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse TVS for amounts that TVS paid on your behalf.

    • (e) No class arbitration. 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. YOU AND TVS 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, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

    • (f) 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section 11, you must notify TVS in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be emailed to TVS at the following address: TVS.TSB.SmartHome@toshiba-visual.com. If you do not notify TVS in accordance with this section, you agree to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions of these Terms, including such provisions in any Terms revised after the date of your first acceptance.

      Such notification must include: (a) your name, (b) your account number or user identification, (c) your mailing address, and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with TVS through arbitration. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with TVS or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and TVS.

    • (g) Future changes to arbitration provision. If TVS makes any changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section of these Terms (other than a change to the address at which TVS will receive notices of dispute, opt-out notices, or rejections of future changes to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice via email within 30 days of the change to TVS.TSB.SmartHome@toshiba-visual.com. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section of these Terms if you had properly opted out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms. If you have not properly opted out of the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this section 11, by rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration provision, as modified by any changes you did not reject.

  32. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability. In no event will our or our licensors' or our service providers' aggregate liability with respect to any claim arising from or relating to this Agreement or your use of any Device exceed fifty dollars ($50).

  33. Changes to these Terms. TVS reserves the right to make changes to these Terms. We will post notice of modifications to these Terms on this page. You should ensure that you have read and agree with our most recent Terms when you use the Toshiba Smart Home Services. Continued use of the Toshiba Smart Home Services following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the revised Terms.

  34. Governing Law. The courts in some countries will not apply California law to some types of disputes. If you reside in one of those countries, then where California law is excluded from applying, your country's laws will apply to such disputes related to these terms. Otherwise, you agree that these Terms, and any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Devices and Toshiba Smart Home Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide the application of the law of another jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in or for Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, unless such claim or dispute is required to be arbitrated as set forth in an above section.

  35. Entire Agreement/Severability. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and TVS regarding the use of the Toshiba Smart Home Services. Any failure by TVS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Neither party is an agent or partner of the other party.

  36. Survivability. The obligations in Sections 1-3, 8-11, 17-19, 24-29, 31, 21, 34 and 37 will survive any expiration or termination of these Terms.

  37. Assignment. These Terms, and any associated rights or obligations, may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by you without TVS’s prior written consent. These Terms may be assigned by TVS without restriction. These Terms are binding upon any permitted assignee.

  38. Notifications. TVS may provide notifications to you as required by law or for marketing or other purposes via (at its option) email to the primary email associated with your Account, mobile notifications or hard copy.

  39. Disclosures. Please see above for TVS’s address. If you are a California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
