Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

We believe we will be able to resolve any disputes or issues you may have regarding our site and services by emailing [email protected]. In the event that we are not able to resolve a dispute or issue, you agree to the following resolution process.

We each agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is less formal than a lawsuit in court. We each agree that each party will assert claims in arbitration only in our individual capacity, and not as a representative or member of any purported class. The arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate claims on a class-wide basis and shall not consolidate, combine, or jointly arbitrate claims of more than one person in a single arbitration. We each agree to waive our constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, electing instead to resolve by binding arbitration on all claims. Small claims are not subject to arbitration. We each agree that either party may bring individual claims in small claims court. Either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding, which will be conducted by a single arbitrator. We each agree to initiate arbitration before JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS, which is an alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”). In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. The arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (available at www.jamsadr.com) (“Arbitration Rules”). The rules of the ADR Provider will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take pace in Orlando, FL, unless the claimant resides outside the United States, in which case the arbitrator will give each party reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Payment of all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of the parties, and 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. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the ADR Provider’s Rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a written award and reasoned 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. Any award will be subject to judicial confirmation or entry in any court having jurisdiction. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to, the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, will be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph will not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement or to enforce an arbitration award.
