These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this website or mobile application, as applicable (including all of its content, the “Site”), which is made available by and operated on behalf of Franchise World Headquarters, LLC (together with its affiliates, the “Subway® Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and any promotions offered by the Subway® Group. Please review these Terms carefully, as they form a binding contract between you and the Subway® Group.

By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site (including, where the applicable Site is a mobile app, by downloading), or by signing up for or using any Subway® Group promotions, you agree on behalf of yourself and any organization or company that you represent (together, “you”) that you have read and understand these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.

ARBITRATION NOTICE: These Terms contain a binding arbitration provision set forth below in Section 17. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW (WHICH MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC), these Terms require you to arbitrate disputes with us rather than resolve disputes through a jury trial or class action. By accessing, or using the Site, you agree to give up, and you hereby waive, any rights to participate in a class action lawsuit or representative action with respect to any disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site.

While we operate the Site, we are not responsible for the operation of Subway® restaurants. Instead, Subway® restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees. Each restaurant is solely and independently responsible for its legal and regulatory compliance, for any issues relating to the sale of products to you, and for any employment related matters pertaining to the restaurant.

Except where prohibited by applicable law (which, for consumers, may include the province of Quebec), we reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. All changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Site and, by accessing or using the Site after changes are posted, you agree to those changes. Material changes will be prominently posted on the Site.

All orders and purchases made through the Site, where available, are subject to the Order Terms. Information about our collection and use of payment-related information is described in our Privacy Statement.

Menu or nutritional information provided on the Site is for informational purposes only and assumes that the individual restaurants have complied with ingredient requirements and our standardized recipes. Nutrition information is compiled by a Registered Dietitian using nutrition analysis from approved food manufacturers, independent laboratories, the USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, and, as applicable, information or published resources provided by our suppliers. The nutrition information listed is based on standard recipes, product formulations, product assembly, and serving size, however variations may occur due to season of the year, use of an alternate supplier, geographical region and/or small differences in product assembly. In addition, product formulations may change periodically. Certain product or nutritional information may not apply to all restaurants. You should expect some variation in the nutrient content of the products purchased at the restaurants. If you have questions about the products, procedures, or ingredients at a particular restaurant, please contact that restaurant.

The Site may provide links to job opportunities posted by the Subway® Group’s corporate offices or by Subway® restaurants or franchisees and may include instructions on how to apply for those opportunities. With respect to job opportunities posted for the Subway® Group’s corporate offices, do not send us a resume or any other application materials for any person other than yourself. Your submission of a resume or other application materials does not in any way require us to review those materials or consider you for a position.

Opportunities posted with respect to a Subway® restaurant are for job opportunities with that restaurant directly and are not with the Subway® Group or any corporate offices. The restaurant that posted the opportunity is solely responsible for setting the job requirements, all hiring decisions, and all other employment-related matters in its business. We do not receive a copy of any application you submit to a restaurant. Subway® restaurants are independently owned and operated. Subway® restaurant franchise owners are the exclusive employer of their team members and, as such, are solely responsible for all employment matters in their restaurants. We do not control whether you receive an interview or are hired. We do not control any franchisees’ employment policies and practices. We do not employ, and are not the employer of, any franchisee. If you are hired by a Subway® restaurant, only the franchisee operating that restaurant, and not us, will be your employer.

By providing User-Generated Content, you agree not to claim that any use of that User-Generated Content by us, any Site user, or any third party infringes or violates your or any person’s intellectual property rights (including, without limitation, copyright), rights of privacy, rights of publicity, or other rights, and you waive any and all moral rights in or to the User-Generated Content.

User-Generated Content may be subject to additional terms as posted on the Site from time to time, such as those applicable to a particular contest or promotion. To the extent any provision of this section conflicts with any provision of those additional terms with respect to User-Generated Content, the applicable additional terms will control.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW (WHICH, FOR CONSUMERS, MAY INCLUDE THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC), IT REQUIRES BINDING ARBITRATION OF MOST DISPUTES INSTEAD OF LITIGATION IN COURT, AND AFFECTS LEGAL RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT ALSO INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

If you are located in the United States:

Initial Dispute Resolution

Before submitting a claim for arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 17, you and we agree to try, for thirty (30) days, to resolve any Dispute (defined below, under “Agreement to Binding Arbitration”) informally, upon giving written notice to the other party that identifies the specific violation alleged, any and all facts related to the alleged violation, and the specific monetary or other relief, if any, sought by the party. To minimize the cost and inconvenience to all parties, and to promote prompt resolution of Disputes, you and we agree that engaging in this initial dispute resolution process is a material term of this arbitration agreement and a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing any arbitration.

You and we further agree that any disagreements regarding compliance with this “Initial Dispute Resolution” provision shall be decided by a court, not an arbitrator; pending resolution of any such disagreements by a court, which may include requests to compel compliance with this provision, you and we agree that arbitration (as well as any obligation to pay arbitration fees) shall be stayed until the initial dispute resolution process set forth in this provision is complete. You and we acknowledge that either party’s failure to comply with the “Initial Dispute Resolution” provisions would irreparably harm the other, and you and we agree that a court may issue an order staying arbitration (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) until the initial dispute resolution process in this provision is complete.

Agreement to Binding Arbitration

You and we hereby agree and consent that any claim, controversy, or dispute related to or arising out of access to and use of the Site or these Terms (including the breach hereof) or for any promotions offered by the Subway® Group, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or other legal theory (“Disputes”), will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator as described below. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to binding arbitration, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under the law or in equity. If you are a California resident, requests for public injunctive relief, if any, shall be decided by a court, not an arbitrator, and that request for public injunctive relief shall be severed from any arbitration proceeding and stayed pending a final determination of the arbitration. Nothing in this arbitration agreement shall be construed as a waiver of either party’s right to seek public injunctive relief, and you and we agree to cooperate to effect the stay of any requests for public injunctive relief.

Arbitration proceedings must be initiated within one (1) year after any Dispute arises; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.

Any and all actions taken under this arbitration agreement are confidential and must not be disclosed to any third party. Any arbitral award will be final and binding and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration agreement applies to you and all Subway® Group Parties.

Where the location of the applicable Subway® Group member is within the U.S.A., the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules. All AAA arbitration proceedings will be held virtually or in a location reasonably convenient to both parties, consistent with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. Where the location of the applicable Subway® Group member is anywhere outside of the U.S.A., the arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in accordance with its applicable rules. All ICC arbitration proceedings will be held within the region in which the applicable Subway® Group member is located and such location will be selected by the Subway® Group.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any actual, alleged, or threatened violation of confidentiality or violation of the Subway® Group’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or where appropriate to stop or prevent an imminent breach of these Terms, you and we may immediately resort to court proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction in order to seek immediate injunctive relief without posting bond, proving damages, or meeting any similar requirement. Any Subway® Group institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of the Subway® Group to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate Disputes through a court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, and to participate in a class action or other proceeding involving multiple claimants, but they have instead chosen to have all Disputes decided through individual arbitration. The parties further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver

You and we further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration agreement set forth in this section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception – Small Claims Court

Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: arbitration@subway.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your use of the Site, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms set forth in this section. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

Initiation of Mass Arbitration

If ten (10) or more demands for arbitration are filed relating to the same or similar subject matter and share common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or coordinated, you and we agree that this will constitute a “Mass Arbitration.”

If a Mass Arbitration is commenced, you and we agree that the arbitrator may, at the request of either party, consolidate two or more arbitrations into a single arbitration, but not as a class arbitration, where: (a) the parties have agreed to consolidation, (b) in accordance with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure standards and applicable law, or (c) all of the claims in the arbitrations are made under the same arbitration agreement or agreements. In deciding whether to consolidate, the arbitrator may take into account any circumstance the arbitrator considers to be relevant, including whether one or more arbitrators have been confirmed or appointed in more than one of the arbitrations and, if so, whether the same or different persons have been confirmed or appointed.

If a Mass Arbitration is commenced and two or more arbitrations are consolidated into a single arbitration, you and we agree that any party may submit a request to the AAA, the arbitrator, or both that the fees to be assessed by the AAA (including, but not limited to, the case management fees, hearing fees, and the arbitrator fees) be adjusted and reduced based on consolidation of the arbitrations into a single arbitration. The parties shall also be free to agree on limitations on the fees to be paid to the arbitrator, to class-action counsel, or counsel in consolidated proceedings.

Exclusive Venue for Litigation

To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in this section do not apply or if you have opted out of arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Connecticut (except for small claims court actions, which may be brought where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Connecticut for any litigation other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these Terms or the Site, the parties agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.

Additional Terms

Where the location of the applicable Subway® Group member is within the U.S.A., this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16.

This arbitration agreement does not amend or modify any rights or obligations under any franchise agreement, development agent agreement, supplier agreement, vendor agreement, or any other contract between you and the Subway® Group. All disputes within the scope of those agreements will be resolved in accordance with their terms.

If you are located in Canada:

Except where prohibited by law, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of, relating to, or in respect of these Terms, including their negotiation, validity, existence, breach, termination, construction or application, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party, or the rights, duties or obligations of any party derived from or associated with these Terms (a “Dispute”), shall be referred to and determined by a single arbitrator in a final and binding arbitration administered under the rules of ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules. If the parties have not agreed upon an arbitrator within fourteen (14) days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the parties shall ask the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. to appoint a single arbitrator.

The seat of the arbitration shall be the same as the provincial or territorial law governing these Terms. The arbitration shall be heard in the capital of the seat, unless the parties agree otherwise. The costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally between the parties. A party to the arbitration has no right of appeal from any award of the arbitrator, whether characterized as final, interim, interlocutory or partial.

All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of the agreement to arbitrate, the law relating to the enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate, any relevant limitation periods, the law governing the procedure of the arbitration, the law relating to available remedies, set-off claims, and conflict of laws rules) shall be governed by the law of the seat. Each party hereby irrevocably consents to venue in the capital of the seat, and to the jurisdiction of competent courts in the capital of the seat for all litigation that may be brought, however it is agreed and acknowledged that the intention of the parties is to arbitrate the Dispute without recourse to the courts.

A party to these Terms may take such steps as are permitted or required to enforce an award made by an Arbitrator. Except as required by law, and only to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably necessary, or for the purposes of obtaining professional advice, the existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration, including any award, shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration. No document or other evidence or information prepared for or produced by or on behalf of any party to the arbitration shall be disclosed to any non-party to the arbitration.

These Terms, including our Privacy Statement and any other terms or policies incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire understanding between you and us with respect to your access to and use of the Site. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict compliance with any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by the Subway® Group.

Your access to or use of certain features or functionality of the Site (including, for example, online ordering, rewards programs, promotions, and gift cards) may be subject to additional terms, conditions, rules, or policies, all of which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

You will not transfer or assign in any way these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms. Any such transfer or assignment will be null and void. We may transfer or assign our rights, obligations, or duties under these Terms at any time to any party without notice to you.

The Subway® Group is an independent contractor. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture relationship, other form of joint enterprise, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and the Subway® Group. These Terms do not confer any rights, remedies, or benefits upon any person other than you and the Subway® Group, except that our affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms.

These Terms and any other documentation, agreements, notices, or communications between you and the Subway® Group may be provided to you electronically (including, without limitation, by posting them on the Site or via email) to the extent permissible by applicable law. These Terms and any such other documentation, agreements, notices, or communications will have the same meaning and effect as if we had provided you with a paper copy. Please print or otherwise save a copy of these Terms and all documentation, agreements, notices, and communications for your reference.

If any provision of these Terms or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of these Terms and the application of such provisions will not be affected. To the fullest extent possible, the court finding such provision invalid, illegal, or unenforceable will modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all persons or entities and to give the maximum possible protection to persons subject to indemnification within the bounds of validity, legality, and enforceability.

If you are located in the United States: These Text Messaging Terms of Use apply if you have opted in to receive text messages from the Subway® Group. If you agree to receiving text messages (including SMS or MMS) when prompted, you consent to receiving text messages, including those which may be automatically sent with an autodialer or other automation technology, from the Subway® Group, including but not limited to promotional messages, product offers, and transactional messages (e.g., pertaining to orders you have placed). Messaging and data rates may apply. Consenting to receiving text messages is not required to buy goods or services or to otherwise do business with us.

Certain text message offers are only accessible on smartphone devices and we may change promotions offered via text message without notice. If you have entered your mobile # and your zip code and clicked “I’M IN” or “Sign Me Up” on our website or otherwise opt in when prompted, then you have agreed to receive recurring autodialed ads, marketing and other messages from us on your mobile number. If you need help with text messages, text HELP to 782929. Currently, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Virgin, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Cricket (Leap), MetroPCS, C Spire, Carolina West Wireless (CWW), CellCom, and Bandwidth are participating carriers, but these may change without notice. Text message may not be delivered to you if your phone is not in the range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within coverage, factors beyond the control of the participating carriers Verizon and T-Mobile/MetroPCS may interfere with messages delivery for which the carrier is not responsible. T-Mobile/Metro PCS does not guarantee that any text message will be delivered. If you wish to opt out of receiving marketing text messages from us text STOP to 782929 or call (844) 788-7525. If you opt out, you will receive a text message confirming your decision to unsubscribe.
