Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH COMPANY, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY INCLUDING A LIMITATION ON THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Terms of Use or Your use of the Services and Program that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that You and Company are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, patents or trade secrets. To the extent the parties are permitted under the Terms of Use to initiate litigation in a court, both You and Company agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or the use of the Services or Program will be litigated exclusively in federal or State court in Sacramento, California.
Arbitration Rules.
Arbitration will be initiated through JAMS and under its rules, except to the extent those rules conflict with the Terms of Use. The JAMS Consumer Arbitration Rules (“JAMS Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.jamsadr.com/rules/arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. In the case of an in-person hearing, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by JAMS. Your arbitration fees and Your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the JAMS Rules with the remainder paid by Company. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. In such case, You agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise Your obligation to pay under the JAMS Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and on request from either party made within 14 days after the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
Authority of Arbitrator.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any unconscionability challenge or other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Terms of Use are void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine the rights and liabilities, if any, of You and Company. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under applicable law, the JAMS Rules, and the Terms of Use. 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 Company.
Jury Trial Waiver.
Except where not permitted by law, You and Company waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial before a judge or a jury. Rather, You and Company elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between You and Company over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, You and Company waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute resolved by a judge.
Class Action Waiver.
WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither You nor Company are entitled to arbitration; instead, all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth below.
Small Claims Court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either You or Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Injunctive Relief Exclusion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may pursue a claim for emergency injunctive relief, including a temporary restraining order in court or through arbitration.
Arbitration Agreement Survival.
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of Your relationship with Company.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and third parties for any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of Your use of or inability to use the Program and related Services, any user postings made by You, Your violation of any terms of the Terms of Service or Your violation of any rights of a third party, or Your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. The Company reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by You, in which event You will fully cooperate with the Company in asserting any available defenses.
Termination And Access Restriction
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate Your access to the Program and the related services or any portion thereof at any time, if You become disruptive to the Company or other Program participants, if You fail to follow the Program guidelines, or if You otherwise violate this Agreement. You will not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the fees and will not be excused from any remaining payments under a payment plan in the event of such termination.
