22. 22. DISPUTES: You hereby agree to mandatory binding arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH MySquard AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

• Binding arbitration. EXCEPT FOR ANY DISPUTES, CLAIMS, SUITS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DEMANDS, OR PROCEEDINGS (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS, OR PATENTS, YOU AND MySquard AGREE (a) TO WAIVE YOUR AND MySquard’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES RESOLVED IN A COURT, AND (b) TO WAIVE YOUR AND MySquard’S RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. INSTEAD, YOU AND MySquard AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION (WHICH IS THE REFERRAL OF A DISPUTE TO ONE OR MORE PERSONS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING THE DISPUTE AND MAKING A FINAL AND BINDING DETERMINATION TO RESOLVE IT INSTEAD OF HAVING THE DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT).
  You and MySquard agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (which shall not exceed $250, and if such fee does exceed $250 MySquard shall pay the difference) and MySquard will pay the remaining Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) fees and costs. Suppose you cannot afford to pay for the arbitration. In that case, you agree to provide us with the option of paying the arbitrator before seeking to initiate any other form of dispute resolution, including litigation. For any arbitration initiated by MySquard, MySquard will pay all JAMS fees and costs. 

• No class arbitrations, class actions, or representative actions.  YOU AND MySquard AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS PERSONAL TO YOU AND MySquard AND THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND MySquard AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATION IN WHICH AN INDIVIDUAL ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS. FURTHER, YOU AND MySquard AGREE THAT A DISPUTE CANNOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS OR OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WHETHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION, OR ON BEHALF OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS.

• Federal Arbitration Act. You and MySquard agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 22 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § one et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

• Notice of Informal Dispute resolution. You and MySquard agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any arbitrable or small claims Dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Notice to MySquard shall be sent by certified mail or courier to 2501 Good Hope Rd SE Washington DC 20020, Attn: Legal Department. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the e-mail address you use or used for your MySquard account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent electronically and will include (i) our name, postal address, telephone number, and an e-mail address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute, (ii) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute, and (iii) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and MySquard cannot agree on how to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or MySquard may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 22, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in this Section 22, file a claim in court.</p
  
  • Process. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS, OR PATENTS, YOU AND MySquard AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR MySquard WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND MySquard WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE).
    You and MySquard agree that (a) any arbitration will either occur (i) in person in Washington DC or, if requested in your Dispute notice, in the US county where your permanent residence is located, (ii) by written submissions, or (iii) telephonically, (b) arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the JAMS, which are hereby incorporated by reference, and (c) that the state or federal courts of  Washington DC and the US, respectively, sitting in Washington DC, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a Dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in a small claims court.
  • Authority of an arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in a court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
  • Rules of JAMS. The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understood the rules of JAMS, or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
  • Minimum standards for arbitration procedures. Pursuant to certain Minimum Standards for Arbitration Procedures set forth by JAMS and in addition to other applicable standards set forth herein, the following standards apply: (a) If remedies that are otherwise available to you under applicable federal, state, or local laws are not available hereunder, you retain the right to pursue such otherwise unavailable remedies in court; (b) the arbitrator(s) must be neutral, and you shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the process of choosing the arbitrator(s); (c) you are hereby encouraged to exercise you right to retain counsel to assist you during arbitration; (d) arbitration hereunder shall allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute; and (e) the arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim. The award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which the award is based.
  • Severability. If any term, clause, or provision of this Section is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses, and provisions of this Section will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers outlined in this Section are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
  • Opt-out right. You have the right to opt-out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section by writing to 2501 Good Hope Rd SE Washington DC 20020, Attn: Legal Department. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and indicate your intent to opt-out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 23.
