BINDING ARBITRATION

          MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION BY CALLING DEL TACO’S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT 800-852-7204. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT DEL TACO'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. DEL TACO WILL PAY ALL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE ARBITRATOR, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS OR BROUGHT IN BAD FAITH. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND DEL TACO WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) Del Taco and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement, use of the Sites, or products, services, or programs you purchase or enroll in via the Sites or through mobile application, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate.  For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including seeking injunctive and other equitable relief, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to: claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; claims relating to our websites; claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to "Del Taco," "you," and "us" shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services, products or information provided or made available under this or prior Agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the Sites.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Del Taco are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or your relationship with Del Taco for any reason.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice''). The Notice to Del Taco should be addressed to: General Counsel – Arbitration Demand, Del Taco, 25521 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, CA 92630 ("Notice Address''). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Del Taco ("Demand''). If Del Taco and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Del Taco may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(c) After Del Taco receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. The filing fee currently is $200, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address.  The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Agreement´s other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or Agreement is void or voidable. However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether this Agreement permits class or representative proceedings.  For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the applicable law.  The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. 

Unless Del Taco and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of your state, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing or registered address. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Del Taco will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, 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 such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Del Taco for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Del Taco or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Del Taco are entitled.  In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California.  Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding.  The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary). 

 (d) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(e) YOU AND DEL TACO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced.  Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

(f)  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Del Taco makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) after your enrollment in a service or program or your use of the Sites, you may reject any such change and require Del Taco to adhere to the language in this arbitration provision as written at the time of your enrollment or purchase if a dispute between us arises, by providing Notice to Del Taco at the Notice Address in subsection (b) above.

By purchasing Merchandise or Gift Cards and providing payment information, you represent that you are authorized to utilize the payment method presented and agree to pay the required fee, including via mobile application. To complete your payment for Merchandise and/or a Gift Card, you may be required to use a third party website to finish your transaction.  Furthermore, you agree and authorize Del Taco or a third party payment processor to: (i) submit a transaction using the card information provided, (ii) in the case of a recurring or serial transaction, utilize the payment information previously submitted to us, (iii) if necessary, obtain updates from card issuers for cards provided to us, (iv) if necessary (and applicable) bill your mobile carrier via a mobile application if you authorize us to do so; (v) and retain any credit card or payment information or other information obtained in connection with your account.  If Del Taco or its authorized payment processor does retain any such information (including as permitted by applicable law), you acknowledge it is not obligated to retain that information for any specified period of time. 

It is your responsibility to verify the items, quantities, costs, shipping fees, tax, payment method, and shipping address of your order prior to submitting your order for credit card authorization.

The cost of each Gift Card varies based on the denomination.

From time to time free bonus gifts may be offered with Merchandise and/or Gift Card purchases. All free bonus gifts are available for a limited time, unless otherwise noted, and are limited to supply on hand. Free food offers will be provided in the form of coupons, or other items valid at participating Del Taco locations, and may have an expiration date. Expiration dates, if applicable, will be disclosed before purchase, and will be clearly printed on the coupons, or items in question.

From time to time discount codes may be published for use on the Sites. If you wish to redeem a published discount code, you must enter it prior to submitting your order. Adjustments will not be made after your order has been submitted for credit card approval.

No backorders will be taken. If an item you ordered is not in stock, the out of stock item will be removed from your order. The in stock items in your order will be filled and shipped, and your credit card will be charged the adjusted order amount. Your order may, or may not contain a packing slip explaining this adjustment has taken place.

Submission of your order constitutes an offer by you to purchase, and Del Taco reserves the right to accept or reject your offer. After submitting your order, you may be shown a “thank you” screen. This is the only confirmation you will receive that your order was submitted. You should print this screen and keep it for your records.  Your order shall otherwise be governed by these Terms of Use, including the Dispute Resolution Policy herein. 

Product prices do not include any sales, use, privilege, excise, or any other tax or assessment that may arise, and payment of any such costs are your responsibility.

Merchandise and Gift Cards will be shipped via the shipping method selected from the options provided on the Sites at the rate calculated during checkout. All shipping times represented on the Sites are for approximation only, and do not constitute, or imply a delivery date guarantee. We reserve the right to change shipping carriers, and rates without notice. Unless otherwise stated, free Gift Card shipping will be provided by the United States Postal Service, First-Class mail, and is not guaranteed to arrive in any number of days.

No express shippers deliver to PO boxes, so a physical shipping address must be provided when selecting any paid shipping method, other than USPS.

We can only accept orders with a billing and shipping address within the 50 United States.
