DISPUTES: ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Please read this Section carefully. Except as these Terms otherwise provide, you waive your rights to try any claim in court before a judge or jury and to bring or participate in any class, collective, or other representative action. a. Agreement to Binding Arbitration Before initiating arbitration, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including information or representations related to our Services and upon which you rely. You may seek to resolve any customer concerns through our support services at support@eback.org. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days after our receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against us or the Services on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Section. You and we agree that any disputes between us (including any disputes between you and a third-party agent of us) will be resolved through binding and final arbitration and not in a court. This includes (i) any dispute, claims, or controversy arising out of or relating to any part of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof; or (ii) your access to or use of our Services, including the Platform, at any time. Such dispute shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for individual arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida and shall be before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules and Procedures, only as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and we agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. By agreeing to individual arbitration, you understand and agree that you are waiving your right to maintain other available r esolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle any disputes or claims. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury. Although review is limited, an Arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as would be available in court and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms as a court would. b. No Class Action You and we each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. This means that you and we each agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an Arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. c. Rules and Governing Law The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_1.pdf. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. d. Arbitration Process You can begin the arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration, which is a statement containing basic information about the dispute: (a) the names, addresses and phone numbers of the parties involved (you and us, in most cases); (b) a description of the dispute; and (c) a short statement of the relief you are seeking. The AAA provides a Demand for Arbitration form on its website, or you may contact the AAA at 800-778-7879. Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, in the event that any provision of this Section is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the Arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Palm Beach County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Palm Beach County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. e. Arbitrator’s Decision The Arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The Arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision suffic ient to explain the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on any award rendered by the Arbitrator is final, binding, and conclusive on you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. With the exception of disclosures to affiliates and legal counsel, all negotiations and arbitration proceedings related to a dispute (including a settlement, award, or the documents and briefs exchanged or produced during arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the parties except to the extent necessary for interim measures or conservatory relief, the enforcement of an arbitration award, or as required by law. f. Fees Payment of all filing, administration and Arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the Arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the Arbitrator. 17. MISCELLANEOUS. You may not assign the Agreement without our prior written consent. No delay or omission by us to exercise any right or power under the Agreement will impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof. A waiver by us in any one instance of any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements to be performed by you will not be construed as a waiver with respect to any succeeding instance in which the same provision may apply. The headings contained in the Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of the Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way its meaning or interpretation. The Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of the Agreement. If any provision of the Agreement is found by any court, arbitrator, or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other negotiations, understandings, and representations (if any) made by and between such parties, whether orally or in writing. For purposes of these Terms, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, and the word “or” is not exclusive. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the English language version of these Terms (including any Additional Terms) is binding and their translations in other languages are for convenience only; in the event of conflicts or discrepancies between the English version of these Terms and their translations, the English version shall govern and control. 18. CONTACT INFORMATION. Our Services (including our fundraising efforts) are operated and carried out in the State of Florida, United States only.
