You and we agree that any dispute or claim arising from or related to the Services and/or these Terms of Service (except for Exempt Claims, as defined below) will be resolved by confidential binding arbitration, rather than in court. This process begins by providing Notice of the Dispute to the other party, offering an opportunity to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice. The Notice should be sent to: 227 Lewis Wharf Boston, MA 02110, and must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims being asserted, along with the relief sought.
If you and we are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the provisions of these End User Terms as a court would. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.
The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to the arbitration proceedings, which will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. All filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
The arbitration will take place in the State of Massachusetts or at another mutually agreed location. If the arbitration involves a consumer, it will be held at a location convenient to the consumer. If the relief sought is valued at $10,000 or less, either you or we may choose to conduct the arbitration by telephone or based solely on written submissions. This choice will be binding, subject to the arbitrator's discretion to mandate an in-person hearing if circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone, unless the arbitrator specifies otherwise.
The arbitrator will adjudicate all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, including recognized principles of equity, and will respect all privileges acknowledged by applicable law. The arbitrator will also resolve questions regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration clause, unless a party files an Exempt Claim (as defined below) in court. In such cases, the court presiding over the Exempt Claim will determine its status. The arbitrator's award will be confidential, conclusive, and binding, and the judgment based on the arbitrator's decision may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
Despite any provision in these Terms of Service, you and we agree that if we modify this Section in the future (except for changes to notice addresses or website links), such changes will not apply to any claim filed against us before the effective date of the change. Additionally, if we attempt to terminate this Section, such termination will only be effective 30 days after the version of these Terms of Service containing this Section is posted on the websites. Termination will not apply to any claim filed against us before the effective termination date.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
EXEMPT CLAIMS: You and the Company agree that the following two types of claims are not required to be submitted to an arbitration subject to the following conditions:
