v. I Am Beyond LLC
This is an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and Bryson Harris Suciu & DeMay PLLC (the
“Firm”) for legal representation regarding your claim(s) against I Am Beyond LLC
(“Respondent” or “Beyond Yoga”) for its violation of your privacy rights pursuant to
applicable laws (which may include, but are not limited to, the California Invasion of Privacy Act
(“CIPA”), any applicable unfair competition and consumer fraud statutes, and any applicable common
law).
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, this 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, or, alternatively, an amount to be negotiated with Respondent's counsel. 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. Please note that the attorney signing this agreement is a Florida lawyer, but the Firm includes attorneys
licensed in other jurisdictions, including California, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia,
Louisiana, and Michigan.
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 this retainer 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.

CERTIFICATION
I, the undersigned, hereby certify that I had an account with Respondent, visited www.beyondyoga.com within the
last two years and made a purchase on the website. I further certify that, if needed, I can and will produce
evidence (for example, an email or e-receipt) of having an account with www.beyondyoga.com within the last two
years.
I further certify that I have not retained any other law firm(s) to pursue my claim(s) against Respondent and
that I will not retain any other law firm(s) to do so. I understand that, if I do retain or have retained another
law firm to pursue my claim(s), the Firm may terminate their representation of me in connection with my claim(s)
against Respondent.
* 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 electronic signature.
