- (a) Arbitration. These Terms and Conditions and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies in all cases, governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings and, to the maximum extent possible under applicable law, shall preempt application of state laws regarding arbitration, including without limitation, provisions governing the payment, or shifting, of fees or costs of arbitration. Any Covered Matter must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in accordance with JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (including, without limitation, utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel) and, if you qualify as a consumer as defined by applicable law, the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (which will prevail over any inconsistent terms in this Section). The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or representative arbitration, however, in the event that ten or more claims in arbitration are initiated which assert the same or similar factual allegations or present the same or similar legal issues, we may request that the claims be consolidated for resolution consistent with Rule 6 of the Streamlined Rules, and in such instance you agree to consolidation of your claim with the claims of other claimants for resolution. In such a consolidated proceeding, a single arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve all consolidated claims, who shall resolve common issues of law and fact and apply such rulings consistently to each consolidated claim. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and Conditions, including, any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration. This Section shall not, however, preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- (b) Applicable Law. United States federal law, and (to the extent not inconsistent with or pre-empted by federal law) the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of laws principles, will govern all Covered Matters.
- (c) Award. For matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, the arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law, and, as to consolidated claims, shall resolve common issues of law and fact and apply such rulings consistently to each consolidated claim. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
- (d) Exceptions. There are two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate:
- First, if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Second, no party shall be precluded from seeking remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction (including amounts) and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
- (e) Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. If we make changes to this Section, we will provide you with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, providing a notice through our Services or updating the date at the top of these Terms and Conditions. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Section will be effective immediately, and your continued use of our Services after we provide such notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. THESE CHANGES SHALL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TO PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE DISPUTES, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE(S) ARISING FROM ALLEGED ACTIONS OR INACTION OCCURRING PRIOR TO YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE AMENDED SECTION, WHETHER OR NOT NOTICE OF SUCH DISPUTE WAS PROVIDED OR ARBITRATION WAS INITIATED PRIOR TO YOU RECEIVING NOTICE OF THE CHANGES. If you do not agree to the amendments, you may opt-out of this Section within 30 days of notice having been provided of these changes in accordance with paragraph (g) below.
- (f) Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order or because you have chosen to file an eligible lawsuit in small claims court, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and the Company must be resolved exclusively by a state, federal, or small claims court located in Chatham County, Georgia. You and the Company agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Chatham County, Georgia for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
