We regard the lawful and correct treatment of personal information as very important to our successful operation and to maintaining confidence between us and those with whom we carry out business.  We will ensure that we treat personal information lawfully and correctly. To this end we fully endorse and adhere to the Principles of Data Protection as set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.

The principles of data protection: The Act stipulates that anyone processing personal data must comply with Eight Principles of good practice. These Principles are legally enforceable.

The principles require that personal information: a) shall be processed fairly and lawfully and in particular, shall not be processed unless specific conditions are met. b) shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes. c) shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which it is processed. d) e) f) g) h) shall be accurate and where necessary, kept up to date. shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under the Act. shall be kept secure i.e. protected by an appropriate degree of security. shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of data protection.

The Act provides conditions for the processing of any personal data.  It also makes a distinction between personal data and “sensitive” personal data. Personal data is defined as data relating to a living individual who can be identified from: a) that data. b) that data and other information which is in the possession of, or is likely to come into the possession of the data controller and includes an expression of opinion about the individual and any indication of the intentions of the data controller, or any other person in respect of the individual.

Sensitive personal data is defined as personal data consisting of information as to: racial or ethnic origin. religion or other beliefs. trade union membership. physical or mental health or condition. sexual life. criminal proceedings or convictions.

Handling of personal/sensitive information We will, through appropriate management and the use of strict criteria and controls, a) observe fully conditions regarding the fair collection and use of personal information. b) c) meet our legal obligations to specify the purpose for which information is used. collect and process appropriate information and only to the extent that it is needed to fulfil operational needs or to comply with any legal requirements. d) e) f) g) h) ensure the quality of information used. apply strict checks to determine the length of time information is held. shall be accurate and where necessary, kept up to date. shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects under the Act. i) shall be kept secure i.e. protected by an appropriate degree of security.

In addition, we will ensure that: a) everyone managing and handling personal information understands that they are contractually responsible for following good data protection practice. b) methods of handling personal information are regularly assessed and evaluated.

All members of staff are to be made fully aware of this policy and of their duties and responsibilities under the Act. All managers and staff must take steps to ensure that personal data is always kept secure against unauthorised or unlawful loss or disclosure and in particular will ensure that: a) paper files and other records or documents containing personal/sensitive data are kept in a secure environment. b) personal data held on computers and computer systems is protected using secure passwords, which where possible have forced changes periodically. c) individual passwords should be such that they are not easily compromised.

All contractors, consultants, partners or Directors must: a) ensure that they and all of their staff who have access to personal data held or processed for or on behalf of us, are aware of this policy and are fully aware of their duties and responsibilities under the Act. b)  allow data protection audits by us of data held on our behalf (if requested). c) indemnify us against any prosecutions, claims, proceedings, actions or payments of compensation or damages, without limitation.

All contractors who are users of personal information supplied by us will be required to confirm that they will abide by the requirements of the Act regarding information supplied by us.  The Data Protection Act requires every data controller, to notify and renew their notification, on an annual basis. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

9. Arbitration

This section 7 of this agreement shall be referred to as the "arbitration agreement."

A. By accepting the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and the Company (collectively, "Parties") agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement and prior versions of this Agreement, or concerning the existence, applicability, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, scope, waiver, or validity thereof; and (ii) the use of the Platform or Support Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved on an individual basis by final and binding arbitration, regardless of its date of accrual. Except as it otherwise provides, this Arbitration Agreement is intended to apply to the resolution of Disputes that otherwise would be resolved in a court of law or before a forum other than arbitration. All claims in arbitration are subject to the same statutes of limitation that would apply in court. By accepting the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and the Company mutually agree to waive their respective rights to trial/adjudication within a court of law.

Other than issues related to the Class Action Waiver (as defined below), the arbitrator, and not any national or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, any part of it, or of the Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement or Agreement is void or voidable.

If the parties cannot otherwise agree on a location for the arbitration, the arbitration shall take place at a location in close proximity to the Company.

Each party will pay the fees for its own legal representation, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. In all cases where required by law, the Company will pay the arbitrator's and arbitration fees. If under applicable law the Company is not required to pay all of the arbitrator's and/or arbitration fees, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the Parties in accordance with said applicable law. Any disputes regarding whether the Company is required to pay the arbitrator’s and arbitration fees and/or how those fees are to be apportioned between the Parties will be resolved by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall issue orders allowing the parties to conduct and prepare its claims and/or defences, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.

Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver (as defined below), the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply the law as is applicable.

The arbitrator's decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's decision or award in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement also does not prevent federal administrative agencies from adjudicating claims and awarding remedies based on those claims, even if the claims would otherwise be covered by this Arbitration Agreement. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents or excuses a party from satisfying any conditions precedent and/or exhausting administrative remedies under applicable law before bringing a claim in arbitration.

The arbitration provider shall treat each batch of demands as one case, with each case having one demand for arbitration, one appointed arbitrator, and one set of administrative documents, and administrative and filing fees per batch.

The Parties agree that arbitration demands are of a "similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to a similar factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. You agree to cooperate in good faith with the Company and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees. Disagreements over the applicability of this batch arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section.

Exceptions to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual basis; (ii) individual claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with your use of the Platform; and/or (iii) 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.

Application to Third Parties. This Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall include any claims brought by or against any third parties, including but not limited to your spouses, heirs, third-party beneficiaries and assigns, where their underlying claim(s) arise out of or relate to your use of the Platform or Support Services. To the extent that any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement brings claims against the Parties, those claims shall also be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out from this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after you first access or use the Platform by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to admin@firstclass-support.co.uk, using the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Please state that you are opting out of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver and provide your name and address. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver within the 30-day period, neither you nor the Company will be required to arbitrate disputes and may instead litigate those disputes without regard to this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

Survival. This Arbitration Agreement survives after the termination or expiration of the Parties' relationship.

10. Your Payment/Subscription

We may offer different payment/subscription options that you can choose; including advanced payments, retrospective invoiced payments to either you or a funding body, billing that can occur weekly, every (4) four weeks, or quarterly. Any type of payment/subscription you choose will continue and may automatically renew until you cancel the Support Services. By choosing a recurring Support Service, you acknowledge that such paid services have a recurring payment, and you accept responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation.

You can cancel the Support Services at any time for any reason. Your Support Services must be cancelled before it renews where applicable in order to avoid the next billing cycle. For the further avoidance of any doubt, unless otherwise advised by First Class Support, any applicable subscribed sessions (video, phone or chat etc.) accrued but unused within a billing cycle will not roll over or be eligible for use after that billing cycle concludes. For example, if you commence your membership on 1 May, only use 3 out of 4 live video sessions for that monthly billing cycle, that additional live session credit does not rollover into June such that you will have 5 sessions available in June. All sessions expire within the applicable billing cycle.
