18. BINDING ARBITRATION, NO CLASS ACTION:
Please read this section carefully. You understand and agree that you waive
your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights connected with
these Terms.
(A) MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES: We each agree that any
dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the
breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use
of the Services, including the determination of the scope or applicability of
this arbitration provision (each, a “Claim”) will be resolved solely by binding,
individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action
or proceeding. You and CLOUDNINE agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration
Act (or equivalent laws in the jurisdiction in which the CLOUDNINE entity that
you have contracted with is incorporated) governs the interpretation and
enforcement of these Terms and that this arbitration provision shall survive
termination of these Terms.
(B) CLASS ACTION WAIVER: You and CLOUDNINE each agree that either of us
may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a
plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor
the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or
otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for
any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the
entirety of this Section 18 shall be null and void.
(C) LIMITED REMEDIES: Additionally, except as may be provided for in
Subsection 18(D), below, or prohibited by law, we each agree that, for any
dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the
breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use
of the Services, our remedies are limited to a claim for money damages (if
any) and we each irrevocably waive any right to seek injunctive or equitable
relief.
(D) EXCEPTIONS AND OPT-OUT: Notwithstanding Subsections 18(A) and (B),
above, we each retain the right to:
i. seek to resolve a Claim in small claims court if it qualifies; and
ii. seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our
respective intellectual property rights.
In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate
any Claim if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by
regular mail sent to the attention of CLOUDNINE’s Legal Department at the
CLOUDNINE address set out in Section 21(C), below, within 30 days following
the date you first agree to these Terms. If CLOUDNINE changes any of the
terms of this Section 18 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or
accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such
change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change
became effective, as indicated in the “Effective” date above. By rejecting any
change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Claim between you and
CLOUDNINE in accordance with the terms of this Section 18 as of the date
you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to
these Terms).
(E) DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS: Prior to bringing a
Claim you and CLOUDNINE each agree to notice the other party and attempt,
in good faith, to negotiate an informal resolution. To begin this process,
before initiating any arbitration proceeding, the party seeking to bring a Claim
must send a Notice of Claim (“Notice”) by certified mail to the other party. All
Notices to CLOUDNINE must be sent to the CLOUDNINE address set out in
Section 21(C), below. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the
Claim and the relief sought. If we are unable to resolve the potential Claim
within 45 days after receipt of the Notice, then you or CLOUDNINE may initiate
arbitration proceedings as set out below.
(F) ARBITRATION PROCESS AND RULES: Any arbitration will be conducted by
JAMS pursuant to its procedural rules for commercial disputes (“JAMS
Rules”), using the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures when applicable.
The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com. A party who
wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to
JAMS and give notice to the other party as specified in the JAMS Rules. JAMS
provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. JAMS will
appoint an arbitrator. When practical, the arbitrator should have prior subject
matter knowledge and familiarity with sweepstakes and/or fundraising laws in
the jurisdiction in which the CLOUDNINE entity that you have contracted with
is incorporated. The arbitration may be conducted via video-conference or in-
person in the county (or other municipality) where you live, unless we both
agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have
exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation,
applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement. During
the arbitration, both you and CLOUDNINE may take one deposition of the
opposing party, limited to 4 hours. If we cannot agree on a time and location
for a deposition, the arbitrator will resolve any scheduling disputes. The
arbitrator shall provide a decision explaining his or her findings and
conclusions, and the ruling may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties to
these Terms.
(G) ARBITRATION COSTS: Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator
fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If you assert a claim against
CLOUDNINE, you will be responsible for paying the consumer filing fee.
CLOUDNINE will pay for all other JAMS-included fees (including filing,
administration, and arbitrator fees and expenses). Each party shall pay its own
attorneys’ fees and any other costs it incurs. If any party prevails on a
statutory claim that affords a prevailing party attorneys’ fees and costs, or if
there is a written agreement providing for attorneys’ fees and costs, the
arbitrator will award such costs and fees per the applicable statute or written
agreement. The arbitrator shall resolve any dispute regarding the
reasonableness of any fee or cost that may be awarded under this paragraph.
(H) CONFIDENTIALITY: To the extent permitted by law, the existence of the
arbitration, the arbitration proceedings, and the outcome of the arbitration will
be treated as confidential and will not be disclosed by either party. You and
CLOUDNINE agree that an award, and any judgment confirming it, only applies
to the arbitration in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other
proceeding except to enforce the award itself and any post-arbitration action
seeking to enforce an arbitration award or action seeking equitable or
injunctive relief shall be brought exclusively in the courts in Wilmington
County, Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of
Delaware (or in the jurisdiction in which the CLOUDNINE entity that you have
contracted with is incorporated).
(I) SEVERABILITY: If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be
invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules and
procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision
shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if
the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained
herein.
19. CONTRACTING ENTITY, GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION: Users of the
