SECTION 8 – ARBITRATION AND CHOICE OF FORUM
Certain portions of this section are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Client and Company agree that the Parties intend that this section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to any Service, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Dispute”), or to any of Company’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such
information is not current, then we have no obligation under this section. Your notice to us must be sent via email to: [email protected]. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other Party, Company and Client will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either Client or Company to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which Client and Company, in each of their sole discretion, are not comfortable.
If the Parties cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in this section (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN CLIENT AND COMPANY (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT— INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY SERVICE PURCHASED FROM COMPANY OR AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH ANY SERVICE.
The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Company and Client regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Company Services, including the “No Class Action Matters” clause below.
BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
Company and Client agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law, as contemplated in the governing law clause below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between Client and Company regarding these Terms and the Company Services, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction’s choice of law principles.
Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by any private arbitration service chosen by Company in the state of New York. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the designated arbitration service for formal arbitration and the arbitration service is unwilling to set a hearing then either Party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (the “JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that the Parties consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in New York. The Parties will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in
accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Company to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this section to be enforceable, then Company will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that Party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Company Services. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF CLIENT OR COMPANY WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN THEY MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES — OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in this section; (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in this section; or (c) filing an action in state or federal court.
The foregoing provisions of this section will not apply to any legal action taken by Company to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to any Service, Company’s intellectual property rights (including such Company may claim that may be in dispute), or Company’s operations.
CLIENT AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION.
Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to this section. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver
provisions contained herein, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted, in state or federal court in State of New York. Accordingly, Client and Company consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action against Company arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.
Small claims matters are not excluded from the arbitration requirement. Any claims for ten thousand and 00/100 dollars ($10,000.00) or less may not be filed in small claims court but is subject to this section.
SECTION 9 – COMPLIANCE

OTHER TERMS BY POSTING THEM ON THE SITE (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICE AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS.

You should frequently check the Website and the email you associated with your account for notices, and you agree that the means set forth in these Terms are all reasonable manners of providing you with notice. You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Website, Services, and related services.
