support@gravy.co.

Some restrictions apply: The Homebuyer Bonus is not available in Alaska, Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma, or Oregon. In Kansas and Tennessee, a gift card will be issued in lieu of a check.

The Homebuyer Bonus is not available in certain transactions with restricted agent commissions (including many new construction, For Sale by Owner, or For Sale by iBuyer transactions).

15. INJUNCTIVE RELIEFYou acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if these Terms are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of these Terms by you, we shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Terms. By using the App or Website, you agree that the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Gravy. For purposes of this Section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach shall be brought in the state or Federal courts located in Missouri. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. You agree that service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, rules of procedure or local rules.
16. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS.Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us as set forth in the “Questions” section below.
In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute, and with the exception of our right to seek injunctive relief as described above and, similarly, your right to seek individual injunctive relief in court, you hereby agree that either you or we may elect to arbitrate any dispute, claim, or cause of action (“Claim”) between you and us or any third parties arising out of use of the App, Website, the Services, and any other actions with us (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) to be arbitrated on an individual (non-class) basis, to the extent allowed by law. However, both parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court (or an equivalent court) for a Claim within the scope of its jurisdiction so long as the small claims action does not seek to certify a class, combine the Claims of multiple persons, recover damages in excess of the limit for a small claim under applicable state law or is not transferred, removed, or appealed from small claims court to any different court.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS VERY LIMITED. ADDITIONALLY, ANY ARBITRATION OF A CLAIM WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND, THEREFORE, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. AS PART OF THIS WAIVER, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN AN ARBITRATION; THAT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS- WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE- PARTY ARBITRATION.
You and we agree that your use of the Services involves interstate commerce, and that this arbitration clause shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) set forth in Title 9 of the U.S. Code to the fullest extent possible, notwithstanding any state law to the contrary, regardless of the origin or nature of the Claims at issue. The arbitrator must follow, to the extent applicable: (1) the substantive law of the state in which we entered into the transaction giving rise to this arbitration clause; (2) the applicable statutes of limitations; and (3) claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator will not be bound by federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence or by state or local laws concerning arbitration proceedings.
If either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Either you or we may elect to resolve a particular Claim through arbitration, even if the other party has already initiated litigation in court related to the Claim, by: (a) making written demand for arbitration upon the other party, (b) initiating arbitration against the other party, or (c) filing a motion to compel arbitration in court.
If this is a consumer-purpose transaction, the applicable rules will be the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. The applicable AAA rules and other information about arbitrating a Claim under AAA, including how to submit a dispute to arbitration, may be obtained by visiting its website at https://www.adr.org/ or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If AAA will not or cannot serve as the administrator of the arbitration, and you and we cannot then agree upon a substitute arbitrator, you and we shall request that a court with proper jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator. However, we will abide by the applicable AAA rules regardless of the forum. Arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where you accepted these Terms, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Except as provided in applicable statutes, the arbitrator’s award is not subject to review by the court and it cannot be appealed. The parties will have the option to request and receive a statement of reasons for the arbitration award.
If you elect to file the arbitration, and this is a consumer-purpose transaction, you will pay the filing fee to the extent required by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules but not to exceed the cost of filing a lawsuit. Any amount above what it would cost you to file a lawsuit, we will pay. All other arbitration fees and expenses shall be allocated to us according to AAA rules. Except for the arbitration fees and expenses, each party shall pay its own costs and fees incurred (including attorneys’ fees), unless the arbitrator allocates them differently in accordance with applicable law. This paragraph applies only if this is a consumer- purpose transaction.
If any provision in this arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable, it shall be stricken from the clause and the remaining provisions shall remain fully enforceable. If a Claim seeks public injunctive relief and, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court determines that a provision in the clause restricts such Claim and, therefore, is invalid with respect to that Claim, the Claim seeking public injunctive relief will be determined in court. However, any Claim seeking money damages shall be arbitrated at the election of either party (unless such Claim is an exclusion as set forth in this clause). The parties will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to any Claim seeking money damages has been entered in court.
Except with respect to the foregoing paragraph relating to public injunctive relief, if the class action limitation is invalid, then this arbitration clause is invalid in its entirety.
This arbitration clause will survive the termination of your use of the App, Website, the Services, and any other actions with us.
You may reject this arbitration clause within thirty (30) days of accepting the Terms by emailing us at support@gravy.co and including in the subject line “Rejection of Arbitration Provision.”
17. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Severability. If any term or provision in these Terms is found to be void, against public policy, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction and such finding or order becomes final with all appeals exhausted, then the offending provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. If the offending provision cannot be so modified, then the same shall be deemed stricken from these Terms in its entirety and the remainder of these Terms shall survive with the said offending provision eliminated. This paragraph does not apply to the arbitration clause.
Governing Law and Venue. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and the United States of America. Without waiving the foregoing arbitration clause, you agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the subject matter of these Terms including but not limited to if you opt out of the mandatory arbitration provision shall be governed by the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and Federal courts of St. Louis, Missouri, except where the jurisdiction and venue are mandated by applicable Assignment. We may freely assign our obligations and rights under these Terms, including all Personal Information in our possession which we have collected during your use of the App and Website.
Headings. Condition and section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
