Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through
informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes
expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively
resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN
COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be
commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration
Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and,
where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of
which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your
arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation
shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where
appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the
submission of documents, by phone, or online. The
arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not
provide a statement of reasons unless requested by
either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law,
and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails
to do so. Except where otherwise required by the
applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration
will take place in
__________
County,
__________. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may
litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay
proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify,
vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather
than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or
prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in
__________
County,
__________, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all
defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non
conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such
state and federal courts. Application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
of Goods and the the Uniform Computer Information
Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of
Use.
If this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to
arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of
this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and
such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction
above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court.
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to
the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full
extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined
with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or
authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action
basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there
is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a
purported representative capacity on behalf of the general
public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not
subject to the above provisions concerning binding
arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect,
or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual
property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or
arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of
privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for
injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal
or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate
any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision
found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall
be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
