13. Arbitration Agreement with Class Action Waiver
We endeavor to resolve customer concerns as quickly as possible. Please contact the Company at [email protected] to resolve any dispute with the Company.
In the unlikely event that you're not satisfied with solutions provided by the Company's customer support teamand you and the Company are unable to resolve a dispute through the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures belowwe each agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration or small claims court.
Any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. In arbitration you may be entitled to recover attorneys' fees from us to the same extent as you would be in court.
a. Claims subject to Arbitration. Any disputeclaim or controversy between you and the Company that arises from or relates in any way to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof)the Servicesor the Company's relationship with you (collectively"Dispute") shall be exclusively resolved through binding individual arbitration except as specifically provided otherwise herein. "Dispute" as used in this section shall have the broadest possible meaning and include claims that arose before the existence of these Terms (or any prior agreement or terms).
YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT IN FAVOR OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW). YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWYOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITYAND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASSREPRESENTATIVEOR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.
Notwithstanding the foregoingeither you or the Company may elect to have an individual claim heard in small claims court having jurisdiction over the claim. If the request to proceed in small claims court is made after an arbitration has been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointedsuch arbitration shall be administratively closed. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federalstateor local agencies.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable lawthe arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If a court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of any limitation in this Agreement on a claim foror request fornon-individualized public injunctive reliefthen such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request) will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction after all other arbitrable claims and requests for relief are arbitrated.
The foregoing shall not preclude the Company from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction located in other countries and jurisdictions for protection of the Company's intellectual property.
All other claims remain subject to this Arbitration Agreement. For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement"Company Parties" means the Company's parentssubsidiariesaffiliatespredecessorssuccessorsassignsand each of their respective officersdirectorsemployeesagentsrepresentativescontractorsand service providers. You and the Company agree that this Arbitration Agreementincluding the class and jury trial waiversis intended to benefit and be enforceable by the Company Partieswho are express third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerceand thus the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of the Terms.
b. Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice Requirements and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures. Before initiating arbitration or a small claims actiona party who intends to initiate arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). A Notice from you to the Company must be emailed to [email protected] (the "Notice Address").
Any Notice must include: (a) the claimant's namecurrent addressand email address; (b) the email address and phone number associated with the claimant's account; (c) sufficient information to identify any relevant transaction(s) or subscription term(s); (d) a description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (e) the specific relief soughtincluding a good-faith calculation of any claimed damages. The Notice must be individualizedmeaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person's dispute.
If the Company believes a Notice is missing required informationthe Company will notify you within fourteen (14) days of receipt and will identify the missing information. If you provide the missing information within thirty (30) days of that noticethe Notice will be treated as completed as of the date the Company received the initial Notice.
After receipt of a completed Noticethe parties will engage in good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute for sixty (60) days (which may be extended by agreement). You and we agree thatafter receipt of the completed Noticethe recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will personally attend (with counselif represented). If we and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the issues identified in the Notice within 60 days after the completed Notice is received (or a longer time if agreed to by the parties)you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or a small claims court proceeding (if permitted by small claims court rules). Participation in a good-faith settlement conference as described above is a mandatory precondition to initiating arbitration. Neither party may commence arbitration unless and until such conference has occurred.
For the avoidance of doubtcompliance with the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice Requirements and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth within this Section 13(b) is a condition precedent to initiating arbitrationand no party may commence arbitration unless and until such procedures have been completed. Any applicable statute of limitations and filing deadlines are tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution procedures set forth in this section. In additionunless prohibited by lawthe arbitration administrator may not acceptadministerassessor demand fees in connection with an arbitration that has been initiated without completion of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. If the arbitration is already pendingit shall be administratively closed. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with these Procedures in arbitration.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures (as set forth in this section) and the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations (as set forth in Section 13(g))including by staying or enjoining the filingprosecutionor administration of arbitrationsor the assessment or collection of arbitration feesin a manner inconsistent with those provisionsto the extent permitted by law.
c. Administration of Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS. The arbitration will be governed by JAMS' applicable rulesincluding the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures andas applicablethe JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures ("JAMS Rules")as modified by this agreement. JAMS' Rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. You may obtain a form to initiate arbitration at: https://www.jamsadr.com/submit or by contacting JAMS. If JAMS is not available to arbitratethe parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
You and we agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures requirements referenced in Section 13(b) and that they are a party to the Arbitration Agreement enclosed with or attached to the demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counselif represented).
As in courtyou and we agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration certifies when initiating and proceeding in arbitration that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)including certification that the claim or relief sought is neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose.
The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the JAMS RulesFederal Rule of Civil Procedure 11or applicable federal or state lawagainst all appropriate represented parties and counsel.
Except as expressly provided in the Arbitration Agreementthe arbitrator may grant any remedyreliefor outcome that the parties could have received in courtincluding awards of attorneys' fees and costsin accordance with applicable law. Unless otherwise provided by applicable lawthe parties shall bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator awards sanctions or finds that either the substance of the claimthe defenseor the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephonebased on written submissionsor in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d. Arbitration Fees. Where the arbitration involves an individual consumerthe JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness ("Consumer Minimum Standards") will apply to the extent applicableexcept as modified by this agreement. If the Consumer Minimum Standards apply and you initiate arbitrationyou will pay no more than the consumer filing fee specified in the Consumer Minimum Standardsand the Company will pay all other JAMS filing feescase management feesand arbitrator professional fees required by those standards (subject to any fee-shifting permitted by applicable law or an arbitrator's award for frivolous or improper claims). If the Company initiates arbitration against youthe Company will pay the costs of arbitration consistent with the Consumer Minimum Standards. The arbitration will be seated in New York CountyNew Yorkbut may be conducted by telephonevideobased on written submissionsor in person.
Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000 (not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest) shall be subject to JAMS' most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS' most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Proceduresavailable at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensivearbitration/.
The payment of arbitration fees (the fees imposed by JAMSincluding filingcase managementarbitratorand hearing fees) will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. Ifafter any available fee-waiver processthe arbitrator determines that arbitration fees would be cost-prohibitive for you as compared to litigation in courtthe Company will pay the arbitration fees to the extent necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive (unless the arbitrator determines the claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose). Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees unless a fee-shifting statute or an arbitrator award provides otherwise.
e. Delegation. The parties agree that the arbitratorand not any federalstateor local court or agencyshall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretationapplicabilityenforceabilityor formation of this Arbitration Agreementincluding any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidableand this is intended to be a clear and unmistakable delegation of such issues to the arbitrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoingand consistent with Section 13(b)a court of competent jurisdiction may decide (i) whether the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice Requirements and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures have been satisfied and (ii) whether any "Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitrations" applyand may enforce those procedures—including by staying or enjoining the filingprosecutionor administration of arbitrations filed without compliance and/or the assessment or collection of arbitration fees associated with non-compliant filings—to the extent permitted by law.
f. Your Right to Opt-Out.

g. Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. Ifat any time25 or more claimants (including you) submit Notices or seek to file demands for arbitration ("Demands") asserting similar claims against the other party or its related entitieswhere such Demands are filed by the same or coordinated counsel and arise out of substantially similar facts and legal theories (a "Mass Arbitration")you and we agree that the additional procedures set forth below shall apply. The parties agree that throughout this processtheir counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Arbitration. The parties acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Arbitrationthe adjudication of their dispute might be delayed. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures are initiatedso long as the pre-arbitration Notice complies with the requirements in Section 13(b)until your claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settledwithdrawnotherwise resolvedor opted out of arbitration.
For any Mass Arbitration administered by JAMSthe parties agree that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule (collectivelythe "JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures") applyand the parties specify twenty-five (25) as the number of similar Demands required to constitute a "Mass Arbitration" for purposes of those procedures. To the extent permitted by the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and any determinations of the Process Administratorthe parties agree that Demands in a Mass Arbitration will proceed in stages:
Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for the Company shall each select 25 claims per side (50 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a differentsingle arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitrationnor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completedthe parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and the Company shall pay the mediator's fee.
Stage Two: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this timecounsel for the claimants and counsel for the Company shall each select 50 claims per side (100 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged processsubject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a differentsingle arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitrationnor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this second set of staged proceedings is completedthe parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge and the Company shall pay the mediator's fee.
Stage Three: If the remaining claims are not resolved at this timecounsel for the claimants and counsel for the Company shall each select 100 claims per side (200 claims total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a third staged processsubject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitrationnor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. Following this third set of staged proceedingscounsel for claimants may elect to have the parties participate in a global mediation session of all remaining claims with a retired federal or state court judge.
If your claim is not resolved as part of the staged process identified aboveeither:
Option One: You and the Company may separately or by agreementopt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with the Agreement. You may opt out of arbitration by providing your individualpersonally signed notice of your intention to opt out by sending the Company an email to [email protected]. Such an opt-out email must be sent by you personallyand not by your agentattorneyor anyone else purporting to act on your behalf. It must include a statementpersonally signed by youthat you wish to opt out of arbitration within 30 days after the conclusion of Stage 3 or the elective mediation associated with Stage 3. The Company may opt your claim out of arbitration by sending an individualpersonally signed notice of its intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30 day opt out period. Counsel for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.
OR
Option Two: If neither you nor the Company elect to have your claim heard in court consistent with Option Onethen you agree that your claim will be resolved as part of continuingstaged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining claims exceeds 200then 200 claims shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsel for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining claims is fewer than 200then all of those claims shall be filed and proceed in individual arbitrations. Any remaining claims shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitrationnor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After each set of 200 claims are adjudicatedsettledwithdrawnor otherwise resolvedthis process shall repeat consistent with these parameters. Counsel for the parties are encouraged to meet and conferparticipate in mediationand engage with each other and with JAMS (including through a Procedural Arbitrator) to explore ways to streamline the adjudication of claimsincrease the number of claims to proceed at any given timepromote efficienciesconserve resourcesand resolve the remaining claims.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce these Mass Arbitration provisions andif necessaryto enjoin the Mass Arbitrationprosecutionor administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your claimand a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your claimthen your claim shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with this Agreement.
You and the Company agree that we each value the integrity and efficiency of arbitration and wish to employ the process for the fair resolution of genuine and sincere disputes between us. You and the Company acknowledge and agree to act in good faith to ensure the processes set forth herein are followed. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Arbitration procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases.
Each Demand in a Mass Arbitration is an individual dispute between the claimant and the Company (and/or any Company Party). No arbitration rulingawardor decision will have precedentialpreclusiveor binding effect in any arbitration involving a different claimant.
h. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any portion of these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration is unenforceablethe parties agree that the remainder of this arbitration provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by lawand the Demands in the Mass Arbitration will proceed as individual arbitrations under the JAMS Rules (andif applicablethe JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures) consistent with that court's ruling.
