10.2 Dispute Resolution.
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract
with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY
BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable
relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any
product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally
or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an
individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise
agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration
Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates,
agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as
all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods
provided under the Terms.
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.
Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the
other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the
nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice
to the Company should be sent to: 1221 Preservation Park Way, Suite 200,
Oakland, California 94612. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may
attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company
do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice
is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of
any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the
arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award,
if any, to which either party is entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules.
Arbitration shall be initiated through the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute
resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set
forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties
shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR
Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not
limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except
to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer
Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration
are available online at www.adr.org
or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted
by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total
amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars
(US $10,000.00) 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 of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S.
Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined
by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within
100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States,
and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S.,
the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time
and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the
arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement
offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration,
the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party
shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements
arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees
and costs of the ADR Provider.
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.
If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be
conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions;
the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.
The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or
witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e) Time Limits.
If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be
initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the
legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under
the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator.
If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and
liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be
consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or
parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions
dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy
or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules,
and the Terms. The arbitrator shall 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 Company.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO
COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that
all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this
Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are
subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation
should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a
suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE
COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute
be resolved by a judge.
(h) 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,
AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR
LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i) Confidentiality.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the
award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly
confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise
required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting
to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to
enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability.
If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law
to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then
such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be
severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect.
(k) Right to Waive.
Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration
Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.
Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration
Agreement.
(l) Survival of Agreement.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship
with Company.
(m) Small Claims Court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an
individual action in small claims court.
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable
relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status
quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be
deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration
Agreement.
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of
the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall
not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Courts.
In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits
the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to
the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Alameda County,
California, for such purpose
10.3 Export.
The Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject
to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to
export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical
data acquired from Company, or any products utilizing such data, in
violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
10.4 Disclosures.
Company is located at the address in Section 10.8. If you are a
California resident, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance
Unit of the Division of Consumer Product of the California Department of
Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento,

10.5 Electronic Communications. Affirmative Consent.
The communications between you and Company use electronic means, whether
you use the Site or send us emails, or whether Company posts notices on
the Site or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes,
you (a) consent to receive communications from Company in an electronic
form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices,
disclosures, and other communications that Company provides to you
electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications
would satisfy if it were be in a hardcopy writing. Furthermore, you may
use the Sites to communicate electronically with other parties, such as
general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, customers,
suppliers, and others. You hereby explicitly agree to the use of
electronic means for these communications. The foregoing does not affect
your non-waivable rights.
10.6 Entire Terms.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding
the use of the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or
provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or
provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and
have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including
without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason,
held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms
will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be
deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent
permitted by law. Your relationship to Company is that of an independent
contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These
Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned,
subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s
prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract,
delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
Company may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth
in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
