We welcome you to www.simple123.com, and its associated pages (collectively, the “Site”). BRST is a provider of communication services connecting manufacturers, distributers, and brokers with potential business customers (collectively, along with the Site, referred to herein as the “Service” or “Services.” For clarity, the “Services” include access to the Site, and separate references to the Site may be provided for emphasis).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING THE “I AGREE” BUTTON OR ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO ADHERE TO AND TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, THE PRIVACY POLICY, AND, AS APPLICABLE, THE CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE LEGALLY BOUND THEN YOU SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS, WHICH WILL PREVENT REGISTRATION, AND YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE SERVICES (OR THE SITES.)
You may not use the Services if you are not duly authorized to bind your employer, if you are a minor or otherwise unable to contract, or if BRST has previously terminated your use of the Services for illegal behavior, or breach of these Terms or any other agreement with BRST.
If you are a broker, distributor, or agent for another party, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the contractual authority to bind your principal to these Terms, and for any transactions you may conduct. You agree to be personally responsible for any representations, warranties, and transactions you conduct with the Service.
These Terms of Use form a valid, binding, and enforceable agreement between you and BRST. By accessing, using, or downloading any portion of the Services you are agreeing that you have read, understood, and agree with these Terms of Use. This agreement is between you and BRST. There are no third party beneficiaries.
These Terms, the BRST privacy policy, and the Consent to Electronic Communications, may also collectively be referred to as the "Agreement"
BRST reserves the right to change the Agreement at any time, as provided herein. If you are a registered user, BRST may seek to provide advance notice of a change to the Terms and to record your acceptance through the login page. If you disagree with the change, you may decline further registration and use of the Service. However, BRST may at any time, and in its sole discretion, revise these Terms by updating this posting, and your access, and continued use of the Site or the Services after such a revision shall constitute your acceptance and evidence that you agree to be bound by the revision. Therefore, you should periodically visit this page to determine the current Terms to which you are bound. If a court of competent jurisdiction rules any portion of these Terms to be invalid or unenforceable, then they should be deemed revised in order to achieve as closely as possible the same effect as originally drafted and agreed.
Paid Services. Certain of the Services may be subject to payments now or in the future, including, without limitation charges for completion of an applicable transaction (the “Paid Services”). Such fees shall be set forth on the site or other as otherwise agreed in writing between you and BRST. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for a Paid Service are deemed part of this Agreement. THE BRST FEES IN ANY PAID SERVICES ARE SEPARATE AND EXCLUSIVE OF ANY CHARGES A SELLER MAY REQUIRE OF A BUYER. BRST has no responsibility for setting, communicating product prices, or for collecting any amounts paid for any product. You agree that BRST shall have no responsibility for any inaccuracy in pricing or charges for products, or for the recovery of any overpayment. The payment for the Paid Services are for use of the Site and Services, and are in addition to the price of any product.
Billing. We use a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account linked to your account on the Services (your “Billing Account”) for use of the Paid Services. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for error by the Payment Processor. By choosing to use Paid Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any use of such Paid Services in accordance with the applicable payment terms and you authorize us, through the Payment Processor, to charge your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”). You agree to make payment using that selected Payment Method. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment.
Payment Method. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. If we, through the Payment Processor, do not receive payment from you, you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand.
Current Information Required. YOU MUST PROVIDE CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE INFORMATION FOR YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT. YOU MUST PROMPTLY UPDATE ALL INFORMATION TO KEEP YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE (SUCH AS A CHANGE IN BILLING ADDRESS, CREDIT CARD NUMBER, OR CREDIT CARD EXPIRATION DATE), AND YOU MUST PROMPTLY NOTIFY US OR OUR PAYMENT PROCESSOR IF YOUR PAYMENT METHOD IS CANCELED (E.G., FOR LOSS OR THEFT) OR IF YOU BECOME AWARE OF A POTENTIAL BREACH OF SECURITY, SUCH AS THE UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OR USE OF YOUR USER NAME OR PASSWORD. CHANGES TO SUCH INFORMATION CAN BE MADE AT https://www.simple123.com/account/settings. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY USE OF PAID SERVICES UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR PAID SERVICES AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
Change in Amount Authorized.. If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you preauthorized (other than due to the imposition or change in the amount of state sales taxes), you have the right to receive, and we shall provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge before the scheduled date of the transaction. Any agreement you have with your payment provider will govern your use of your Payment Method. You agree that we may accumulate charges incurred and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each billing cycle.
Auto-Renewal for Subscription Services.. Unless you opt out of auto-renewal, which can be done through your Account Settings https://www.simple123.com/account/settings, any Subscription Services you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or resign your Subscription Services at any time, go to Account Settings https://www.simple123.com/account/settings. If you terminate a Subscription Service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you won't be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.
Reaffirmation of Authorization.. Your non-termination or continued use of a Paid Service reaffirms that we are authorized to charge your Payment Method for that Paid Service. We may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive our right to seek payment directly from you. Your charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when you initially selected to use the Paid Service.
Accuracy.. As a registered user of the Service, you have been requested to provide information about yourself, such as contact information, employer identification, etc. You agree that all registration information you provide for access and use of the Service shall be accurate, correct, true, and current.

These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, along with the Consent to Electronic Communication contain the entire agreement between you and BRST with respect to the subject matter of your use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements, customs of use, or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof. Section headings contained in the Terms of Use are for convenience of reference only, and do not limit, alter or affect the scope, meaning or interpretation of any provisions in any way.
If a court of competent jurisdiction rules any portion of these Terms of Use to be invalid or unenforceable, and for any reason does not deem these terms revised in order to achieve as closely as possible the same effect as originally drafted, then these terms are severable such that the valid and enforceable terms shall remain unaffected.
The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any right, remedy, or provision shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. To be effective, any waiver must be in writing.
These Terms of Use and your use of the Services will be interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Virginia and the United States of America, without regard to their conflict-of-law provisions. You and BRST agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Richmond, Virginia or a United States District court, Eastern District of Virginia located in Richmond, Virginia (collectively, the “Richmond Courts”) for any actions which the parties retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution provision below.
Mandatory, Bilateral Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions.
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND BRST AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF BRST, TO ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY OR THROUGH BRST, TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO THE CONTENT, AND/OR USER SUBMISSION (PUBLIC, PERSONAL AND/OR LIMITED AUDIENCE) ON BRST SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not include your or BRST’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in Richmond to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use.
“Disputes” shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and BRST against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from the Service, including but not limited to policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and BRST, even if the claim arises after you or BRST has terminated Service or a user account. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; or (c) that BRST brings against you relating to the Services. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and BRST, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms of Use or out of a prior set of Terms of Use with BRST; (iii) claims that are subject to on-going litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms of Use.
Dispute Notice.
Before initiating an arbitration, you and BRST each agree to first provide the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute should be sent to: 201 W. 7th Street, Richmond, VA 23224 or emailed at info@simple123.com. BRST will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the email address associated with your BRST User ID. You and BRST agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until this 45-day post-notice resolution period expires. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or BRST may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Arbitration Process and Procedure
Unless you and BRST agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall (1) be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules regarding filing, administration, discovery, and arbitrator fees; (2) be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator; and (3) take place in the county where you reside. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action. Further, unless both you and BRST expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. If this prohibition of class, representative, or consolidated arbitration is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial.
YOU THEREFORE UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND BRST ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION FOR ANY CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
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. The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rules to the contrary or any other provision in the arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern, you and BRST each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.
Hearing
If your claim does not exceed $5,000, you and BRST agree to waive an oral hearing by the arbitrator and the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and BRST submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. To the extent an oral hearing is requested by you or BRST, or deemed necessary by the arbitrator, you and BRST agree that the hearing will be conducted telephonically or videographically.
Arbitrator’s Decision
An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Fees
It is each parties’ responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, case management/administrative, and arbitrator fees as set forth in the JAMS Rules. If your claim for damages does not exceed $5,000, BRST will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
Small Claims & Government Actions
As an alternative to arbitration, you or BRST may resolve Disputes in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over your claim. These Terms and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against BRST on your behalf.
These Terms shall govern all access or use of the Service. You may stop using the Service for your convenience at any time.
