AmTrust collects information: (1) you provide when you use the Services; (2) automatically from you through the use of the Services; and (3) gathered from third parties in connection with your use of the Services. 1) Information that you provide AmTrust may collect information that you provide when you use the Services. This information collection may occur, for example, when you: (1) fill out online forms or applications; (2) create an online account or register to use the Services; (3) make a purchase; (4) send questions or comments via email, text messaging or live chat to customer support; (5) submit your resume to us online; (6) fill out online surveys; and (7) otherwise communicate or interact with us through the Services.

The term PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. It is important to recognize that non-PII can become so whenever additional information is made publicly available — in any medium and from any source — that, when combined with other available information, could be used to identify an individual.

Go to top of page Dispute Resolution and Class Action Waiver Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. 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 the terms of this Policy as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., Attn: Legal Department. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. 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 upon location. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
