10. Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver
PLEASE
READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE THAT YOU AGREE TO
RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND INCLUDE A CLASS
ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. This Arbitration Agreement supersedes all
prior versions and extends to WGM's
partners, including any providers of the underlying technology used to power
this experience (collectively the “WGM Parties”).
a.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. In
this Section 11 (the “Arbitration Agreement”), you and the WGM Parties
agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort,
or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or
relating to these Terms or the use of the Applications or any communications
between you and the WGM Parties that
are not brought in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration
on an individual basis, except that you and the WGM Parties are not required to arbitrate any: (i) disputes or claims
within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the
jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is an individual
dispute and not a class action, (ii) disputes or claims where the only relief
sought is injunctive relief, and (iii) disputes in which either party seeks
equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade
names, logos, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. To
be clear: the phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and
disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms. In
addition, all disputes concerning the arbitrability of a claim (including
disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or
validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except
as expressly provided below.
b.
Informal Dispute Resolution First. We
want to address any disputes without needing arbitration. If you have a dispute
with the WGM Parties that is subject
to arbitration, then prior to initiating arbitration, you agree to mail an
individualized request (“Pre-Arbitration Demand”) to White Glove Media, LLC., A Pre-Arbitration Demand is valid
only if it pertains to, and is on behalf of, a single individual. A
Pre-Arbitration Demand brought on behalf of multiple individuals is invalid as
to all. The Pre-Arbitration Demand must include: (i) your name, (ii) your
username, (iii) your name, telephone number, email address and mailing address
or the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your
counsel, if any, (iv) a description of your dispute, and (iv) your signature.
Likewise, if the WGM Parties have a dispute
with you, the WGM Parties will send an
email or text message with its individualized Pre-Arbitration Demand, including
the requirements listed above, to the email address or phone number associated
with your account. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the
date that you or the WGM Parties send a
Pre-Arbitration Demand, arbitration may then be filed. You agree that
compliance with this subsection is a condition precedent to commencing
arbitration, and that the arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration filed
without fully and completely complying with these informal dispute resolution
procedures. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Arbitration Agreement or ADR Applications’ Rules, the party against whom an
arbitration has been filed has the right to seek a judicial declaration in
court regarding whether the arbitration should be dismissed for failure to
comply with the informal dispute resolution process set forth in this
subsection.
c.
Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act,
including its procedural provisions, governs the interpretation and enforcement
of this dispute-resolution provision, and not state law. If, after completing
the informal dispute resolution process described above, you or the WGM Parties
wishes to initiate arbitration, the arbitration will be
conducted by ADR Applications, Inc. (“ADR Applications”) (https://www.adrApplications.com/). If ADR Applications is not available to arbitrate, the
arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM) (https://www.namadr.com/). The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects
of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these
Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any
claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may
be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of
the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought
is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the
arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator
may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
d.
Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration
will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination
of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the
arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the
parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
e.
Fees. If the WGM Parties
are the parties initiating an arbitration against you, the WGM Parties
will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including
the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating an arbitration against the
WGM
Parties, you will be responsible for the entire
filing fee. Otherwise, ADR Applications sets forth fees for its Applications,
which are available at https://www.adrApplications.com/rate-fee-schedule/.
f.
Authority of the Arbitrator. The
arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and
liabilities, if any, of you and the WGM Parties. The
dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any
other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions
dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have
the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or
relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and
the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision
describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based,
including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same
authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law
would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the WGM Parties.
g.
Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgement.
At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for the arbitration
hearing, you or the WGM Parties may
serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on
specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance
shall be submitted to the arbitration provider, who shall enter judgment
accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or
within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall
be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an
offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party
fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their
post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees
paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.
h.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE WGM PARTIES WAIVE ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF
A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the WGM Parties are
instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration.
Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less
costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by
a court. In any litigation between you and the WGM Parties over whether to
vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND THE WGM PARTIES WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a
judge.
i.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL
CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE
ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS
OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR
CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. This subsection does not
prevent you or the WGM Parties from participating in a class-wide settlement of
claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration
Agreement or ADR Applications’ Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation,
applicability, or enforceability of this waiver may be resolved only by a court
and not by an arbitrator. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR
FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION.
IN SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES, ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR
CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION THAT IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED MUST BE
BROUGHT IN A COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION AND NOT IN ARBITRATION.
j.
Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set
forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the
claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of
this Arbitration Agreement.
k.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either you or the WGM Parties may bring an individual action in small claims
court.
l.
Arbitration Agreement Survival. This
Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the
WGM Parties, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end
your participation in the Service or any communication with the WGM Parties.
11. Other Terms
A. Agreement. These Terms are the
complete legal agreement between you and WGM, and they replace any prior
agreements regarding the Applications.
B. Choice of Law. Except in cases where they are overridden by U.S. federal
law, these Terms and any claims or disputes (whether contractual, tortious, or
otherwise) arising from or pertaining to these Terms or their subject matter
are governed by the laws of the state of New York, without considering its
conflict-of-laws principles.
C.
Exclusive Venue. These Terms, along with any claims,
causes of action, of any nature or character, or demands arising from or
connected to these Terms, will be subject to the laws of the State of New York.
Additionally, any claim, cause of action, or dispute stemming from or linked to
these Terms will exclusively be resolved in either the U.S. District Court for
the Central District of New York or the Superior Court of the State of New York,
County of New York. By agreeing to these Terms, you also consent to the
personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of resolving
any such claim.
D. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of
these Terms does not mean we waive that provision or right.
E. Severability. If a court rules that
any provision of these Terms is invalid, that provision will be removed without
affecting the rest of the Terms, which will remain valid and enforceable.
F. Assignment. We retain the right to
transfer our rights under these Terms and to provide the Applications through
another entity, as long as that entity adheres to these Terms. You are not
allowed to transfer any of your rights or responsibilities under these Terms
without our explicit consent. We reserve all rights that are not explicitly
granted to you..
