Re:
v. ThredUp Inc.
Dear
:
This is an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Bryson Harris
Suciu & DeMay PLLC (“the Firm”) for legal representation regarding
your claim(s) against ThredUp Inc. (“ThredUp” or “Respondent”)
for its violation of your privacy rights pursuant to the California Invasion of
Privacy Act, Cal. Penal Code § 638.51.
You understand and authorize the Firm to proceed with filing your claim(s) as an
individual arbitration. Arbitration is a simplified means of pursuing legal claims,
where the claim is decided by an arbitrator rather than a judge or jury. You authorize
the Firm to settle your individual claim(s) with Respondent and execute a release of
your individual claim(s) on your behalf. However, the Agreement also authorizes the
Firm to settle and release your claim(s) as a part of a class action if Respondent
chooses to do so. In the event that the Firm enters a settlement with your
authority and you choose not to participate in the settlement, you may reject the
settlement and the Firm may withdraw its representation of you. You further authorize
the Firm to represent additional individuals who have claims that are the same or
similar to yours against Respondent.
The Firm will handle this matter with a contingent fee of the greater of either
forty percent (40%), as allowed by state law, of any recovery obtained in this matter
or total attorneys’ fees awarded by the arbitrator or court. The Firm reserves
the right to associate with co-counsel, but the fee will be split between the Firm and
any additional firm(s) they associate with.
The Firm will advance all costs incurred by the Firm during this litigation (e.g.,
filing fees, travel, etc.). The Firm will be reimbursed for these costs if, and only
if, they ultimately obtain a recovery on your behalf. Advanced costs are deducted
after the calculation of the contingent fee.
The Firm will keep you informed about the progress of your claim as it moves
forward. We will do so via phone calls, emails, and SMS messages. By signing the
Agreement, you consent to the Firm calling and sending case-related SMS messages to
the cell phone number you provided when signing up for representation. If at any time
you no longer wish to receive phone calls from the Firm, you can email us at
arbitration.clientcare@brysonfirm.com.
Similarly, if you no longer wish to receive SMS messages from the Firm, you can
reply “STOP” to any SMS message to opt out of receiving additional messages.
You authorize the Firm to withdraw from representation if they determine for
sufficient reasons that your claim(s) should not continue. Regardless, the Firm will
maintain the file on this matter for at least six years. If requested, these will be
returned to you after the conclusion of the representation.
Finally, the Firm does not make any promises or guarantees regarding the outcome
of your claim(s). If you have any questions about the foregoing, please advise. We
would appreciate your returning a signed copy of this engagement letter to us for our
files.

* Please note that the company against which you are retaining the Firm to pursue
individual arbitration claims on your behalf may require submission of a notice letter
personally signed by you to begin the dispute resolution process. So that the
Firm can start this process, by signing the retainer agreement, it is your intent to
provide the Firm with your electronic signature and your consent to include your
electronic signature in the notice letter to be sent on your behalf to the company
identified in the retainer agreement as the party against whom the Firm has agreed to
represent you in connection with your individual arbitration. This is the sole
limited purpose for which you are giving the Firm legal authority to utilize your
