16.2
Dispute Resolution
.
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully.
It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It
contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS
ACTION WAIVER
(a)
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable
relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any
product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved
informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding
arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration
Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be
held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company,
and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in
interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or
unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the
Terms.
(b)
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.
Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the
other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”)
describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested
relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent to:PO Box 642745, Los
Angeles, CA 90064 After the Notice is received, you and the Company may
attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company
do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the
Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The
amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to
the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the
award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
(c)
Arbitration Rules.
Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution
provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set
forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties
shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR
Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not
limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to
the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer
Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the
arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at
1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral
arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award
sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be
resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of
the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of
the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the
right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing
will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you
reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree
otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the
parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings.
Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any
court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that
is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you
prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the
greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs
(including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the
arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR
Provider.
(d)
Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.
If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be
conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions;
the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the
arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by
the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e)
Time Limits.
If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be
initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the
legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under
the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
(f)
Authority of Arbitrator.
If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and
liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be
consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or
parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions
dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy
or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules,
and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of
decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the
award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The
arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis
that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is
final and binding upon you and the Company.
(g)
Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO
COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that
all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this
Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are
subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation
should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a
suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE
COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute
be resolved by a judge.
(h)
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST
BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS,
AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR
LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i)
Confidentiality.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the
award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly
confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless
otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from
submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this
Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or
equitable relief.
(j)
Severability.
If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law
to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then
such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be
severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
(k)
Right to Waive.
Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration
Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.
Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration
Agreement.
(l)
Survival of Agreement.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your
relationship with Company.
(m)
Small Claims Court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an
individual action in small claims court.
(n)
Emergency Equitable Relief.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable
relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo
pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
(o)
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the
other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be
subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p)
Courts.
In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the
parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County,
California, for such purpose.
16.3
