Governing Law
These Terms of Service and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to any conflict of law principles.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute with Balloon & Paper LLC (“Company”) informally for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice is sent. To initiate this process, you must send a Notice of Dispute by email to hello@balloonandpaper.com describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. Both parties will work together in good faith to resolve the issue directly.
Binding Arbitration
If a resolution cannot be reached informally, both you and Company agree to resolve any dispute (including interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration clause) exclusively through final and binding arbitration. This includes disputes related to your use of balloonandpaper.com or any related services. Arbitration replaces the right to sue in court, and neither party will have the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.
Exceptions
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking:
(i) injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(ii) individual claims in small claims court, if applicable.
Arbitration Process
Unless mutually agreed otherwise, arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) in accordance with its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, or remotely via video conference (at the claimant’s election). The NAM Rules are available at www.namadr.com or by calling 1-800-358-2550. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision.
Forum Selection if Arbitration is Found Unenforceable
If any portion of this arbitration clause is found unenforceable, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and both parties consent to such jurisdiction.
F. Fees -If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Section 15, you will pay the Initial Administrative Fee in accordance with NAM’s then-applicable fee schedule. If the claim is for $15,000 or less, you agree that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the NAM Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies we previously paid to NAM pursuant to the NAM Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except as may be required by law or to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from you or us, which is made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. In addition, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law.
G. No Class Actions -To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree that ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU AGAINST COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.
H. Enforceability – In the event that the class action waiver in Section 15(G), above, is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Section 15 shall also be unenforceable.

AUTOMATED DATA COLLECTION / COOKIES
We use a variety of tracking technologies to better understand how users engage with our website and to enhance your experience. These include:
Cookies: Small text files stored in your browser that help us remember your preferences, log-in sessions, and interactions on our site. They also allow us to measure traffic, analyze user behavior, and tailor content and ads. Some are set by us (first-party cookies); others are placed by third-party providers, such as Google Analytics.
Web Beacons (Clear GIFs): Tiny image files embedded in web pages or emails that help us track whether content is viewed or interacted with. These tools are used to measure email campaign success and website engagement.
Mobile Identifiers and SDKs: In our mobile-optimized experience, we or our partners may use SDKs to collect information like mobile advertising identifiers (e.g., IDFA or Android Ad ID), device type, operating system, app activity, and location data (only if permission is granted).

Remarketing and Advertising
From time to time the Services may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including Google Ads and advertising services provided by Meta (sometimes referred to the Meta “tracking pixel”). These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with the Services and other websites and will use that information to target advertisements for goods and services and to display those advertisements on other websites. The information collected may be associated with your personal information.
Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables their computers to deliver advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising.” For example, a third-party advertising network might collect the type of web browser you use, the type of computer operating system you use, the domain name of a website you visit, whether or not you visit specific pages of the Services and other websites, the location of your Internet service provider, the date and time of a visit to a website, and other interactions between you and a website.
Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Service and your interaction with our products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics Advertising Features on the Services. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Service.
For certain Meta advertising services, Meta Ireland is a Joint Controller (as defined in the GDPR) and that information required under the GDPR related to such processing can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. We work with Meta and use their advertising services to measure and improve our ads and marketing efforts, as well as to display more relevant advertising to you. For further information on how Meta Ireland processes your personal information, including the legal basis, and the ways to exercise your rights, please visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature (“Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.
Analytics
The Services use third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the Services, including when you visit the Services, URLs of the websites that you visit prior to visiting the Services and when you visit those websites, and IP addresses assigned to the devices from where you access the Internet. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the Services’ structure and content.
For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s Privacy Notice and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Company from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Service itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites. You may disable cookies as discussed below, but that may impact your use and enjoyment of the Service.

Governing Law
These Terms of Service and any disputes arising from them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to any conflict of law principles.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute with Balloon & Paper LLC (“Company”) informally for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice is sent. To initiate this process, you must send a Notice of Dispute by email to hello@balloonandpaper.com describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. Both parties will work together in good faith to resolve the issue directly.
Binding Arbitration
If a resolution cannot be reached informally, both you and Company agree to resolve any dispute (including interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration clause) exclusively through final and binding arbitration. This includes disputes related to your use of balloonandpaper.com or any related services. Arbitration replaces the right to sue in court, and neither party will have the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action.
Exceptions
This arbitration agreement does not preclude either party from seeking:
(i) injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, or
(ii) individual claims in small claims court, if applicable.
Arbitration Process
Unless mutually agreed otherwise, arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) in accordance with its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, or remotely via video conference (at the claimant’s election). The NAM Rules are available at www.namadr.com or by calling 1-800-358-2550. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision.
Forum Selection if Arbitration is Found Unenforceable
If any portion of this arbitration clause is found unenforceable, the dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and both parties consent to such jurisdiction.
F. Fees -If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Section 15, you will pay the Initial Administrative Fee in accordance with NAM’s then-applicable fee schedule. If the claim is for $15,000 or less, you agree that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the NAM Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies we previously paid to NAM pursuant to the NAM Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except as may be required by law or to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from you or us, which is made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. In addition, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law.
G. No Class Actions -To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree that ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU AGAINST COMPANY MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.
H. Enforceability – In the event that the class action waiver in Section 15(G), above, is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Section 15 shall also be unenforceable.
