You agree to cooperate with us in defending such claims and hereby understand and agree that we are free to settle any such third party claim or demand in our sole discretion.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; AND JURY WAIVER
Please read this Section carefully as it affects your rights.
All Disputes arising between you and us shall be resolved by binding arbitration, which replaces the right to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into these Terms constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in a court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must adhere to the applicable provisions of these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).
WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED BELOW, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution.
Before making a claim, you and we agree to try to resolve any disputes through good faith discussions. For the purpose of this Section, “we” means Practical Solutions and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. As used herein, the term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy regarding, arising out of or relating to these Terms, any aspect of your relationship with Practical Solutions (other than any consulting services that are the subject of a formal engagement agreement with us), or your use of the Site any Products and any accompanying materials, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable cause of action or claim for relief, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this section of the Terms dealing with dispute resolution (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below), but excluding any claims we make for injunctive or other equitable relief. You may initiate this dispute resolution process by sending written notice describing the dispute and the proposed resolution. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. In the event that you and we cannot resolve the issue within ninety (90) days following receipt of the initial notice, either party may bring a Dispute as further outlined below.
Dispute Resolution Process
Any Dispute not settled in the pre-arbitration process shall be resolved by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. If anything in these Terms conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules, these Terms shall govern.
Under no circumstances will class action or representative action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, unless you and we agree otherwise. You may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in in these Terms shall prevent us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our intellectual property rights or other rights.
Class Action Waiver; Jury Waiver
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, you agree to bring claims against us only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless we agree, no action or court of law may consolidate more than one person’s claims, or otherwise preside over any form of a representative, consolidated or class proceeding, against us. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, representative action, or private attorney general action).
You further agree that by entering into these Terms you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event either of the foregoing waivers are found to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such waiver shall be deemed removed from the Terms and the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
