• Dispute Resolution; Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT FILED IN COURT.

1. Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure.

1. If a dispute arises between you and us, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. For any issue or dispute that arises between us, both parties acknowledge and agree that they will first make a good faith effort to resolve it informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding in arbitration or otherwise. This includes first sending a written description of the dispute to the other party. For any dispute you initiate, you agree to send the written description of the dispute along with the email address associated with your account to our email address, which is provided in the Notices section of these Terms of Service. For any dispute that Company initiates, we will send our written description of the dispute to the email address associated with your account. The written description must be on an individual basis and provide at least the following information: your name; a description of the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; and the specific relief sought.

2. You and we agree to then negotiate in good faith about the dispute through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same conference. If either party is represented by counsel, that party's counsel may participate in the conference, but the party also must appear at and participate in the conference. If the dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through this informal process within sixty (60) days after receipt of the written description of the dispute, you and we agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below. The aforementioned informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding.

2. Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate. IF YOU AND WE ARE UNABLE TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE OUR DISPUTE WE EACH AGREE THAT WE WILL SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW. 

1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to our relationship, these Terms of Service, or our Privacy Policy (including any dispute as to their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity), will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS using a single arbitrator under the applicable resolution provider’s Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. The arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement from a list of ten (10) potential arbitrators proposed by you or us (each of us may propose up to five proposed arbitrators) and, if you and we are unable to agree, the arbitrator shall be chosen by the arbitration administrator. In the event of a conflict between the Arbitration Rules and Procedures and these Terms of Service, these Terms shall govern. YOU ARE HEREBY WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL OR TO GO TO COURT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you where you reside, other than as waived in these Terms of Service. You have a right to hire an attorney to represent you in arbitration. The arbitration shall permit the discovery of relevant information that is not privileged or protected.

2. The arbitration will be conducted at the AAA or JAMS office, as applicable, nearest to your residence, unless you and we mutually agree to a different location or to a telephonic arbitration. The parties will equally share the costs of the arbitration proceeding, including the arbitrator’s fees and case management fees. To initiate arbitration, you or we must follow the arbitration initiation procedure set forth in the rules and policies in effect at AAA or JAMS, as applicable.

3. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, nor to make errors of law; any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim and the award shall provide a written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based. You and we agree that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern this agreement to arbitrate.

4. You and we agree not to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against the other. You and we also agree that you and we will not be entitled to bring any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity against the other, or against a Company affiliate or service partner, licensor, officer, director, agent, employee, affiliate or predecessor. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. You and we retain our respective rights to make any complaint to regulatory agencies or governmental investigators. A court may sever any portion of this arbitration agreement that it may find to be unenforceable, except for the prohibition on class, representative or private attorney general proceedings. You understand and agree that the waivers of rights in this section, including the waivers of the rights to bring a lawsuit in court and to assert a class action, are knowing and voluntary.

• Termination

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.

These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our Site.
