17. Arbitration Agreement
Please read this section (the "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.
Applicability
Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Company agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service, or this Agreement (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you and Company may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify; and (ii) you or Company may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Informal Dispute Resolution
Before either party commences arbitration, you and Company will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute ("Informal Dispute Resolution Conference"). The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference ("Notice"), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice. Notice to Company should be sent by email to help@callbaba.com. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration.
Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. YOU AND COMPANY ARE INSTEAD ELECTING THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW.
Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE.
Rules and Forum
This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org.
Arbitrator
The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Batch Arbitration
In the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm within a thirty (30) day period, the AAA shall administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch, appoint one arbitrator for each batch, and provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective, and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind.
