You agree that RaH may charge your credit card, debit card, or other payment mechanism selected by you and approved by RaH (“Payment Method”) for all amounts due and owing in connection with your use of any premium Services, as set forth in the applicable Order Form or otherwise used or ordered by or for you through the Services, including set up fees, one-time fees, non-recurring fees, overages, per-use charges, subscription fees, recurring fees, and any other fees and charges associated with the Services or your account (“Charges”). As provided in Section 13, unless otherwise expressly specified an Order Form, all Charges are exclusive of Taxes and Fees. You agree to promptly update your Payment Method to allow for timely payment. Changes made to your Payment Method will not affect Charges that RaH submits to your chosen Payment Method before RaH could reasonably act on your changes.

For changes to your Charges, RaH will provide you with not less than (i) thirty (30) calendar days prior notice, or (ii) the time period prescribed by applicable Law (each, (i) and (ii), a “Rate Change Notice”). Unless prohibited by the terms of your Order Form, any changes to your Charges will be effective upon the commencement of your next Renewal Term or other date calculated in accordance with applicable Law. If you seek to terminate or modify the Services affected by a Rate Change Notice, then you must terminate or modify your affected Services within the applicable Rate Change Notice time period. If you do not terminate or modify the affected Services within the applicable Rate Change Notice time period, then you shall be deemed to have automatically accepted the change to your Charges, unless your affirmative, express consent to such change is required under applicable Law. If required by applicable Law, we will remind you of your termination and modification right, any applicable time-period, and the consequences of not terminating.


  • 12.4 Promotional Rates and Discounts. Prices specified in an Order Form may include a promotional rate, discount, sale, or special offer, which may be temporary and may expire (i) per the terms of the offer, or (ii) upon the commencement of a Renewal Term.

RaH reserves the right to discontinue or modify any promotion, discount, sale, or special offer in its sole discretion.


  • 12.5 Collection of Charges.

  • 12.6 Support Services and Updates. RaH will provide, at no additional costs, (i) standard support as set forth in our then-current Documentation, and (ii) standard updates to the Services and Software that are made generally available by RaH to similarly situated customers in the same geographic region during the Initial Subscription Term or any applicable Renewal Term.

  • 12.7 Termination or Suspension for Nonpayment. Without limiting our rights in any other section of this Agreement, including 14.3, if any failure to pay Charges continues for five (5) calendar days following the due date, RaH may terminate, suspend, or disconnect your Services immediately and without prior notice.


  • 12.8 Billing Communications. You agree that RaH may contact you via email or otherwise at any time with information relevant to your use of the Services, including billing communications, regardless of whether you have opted out of receiving marketing communications or notices.


  • 12.9 Withdrawal; Cooling-Off Period. If under applicable Law you have a time period to terminate your Services based on a right of withdrawal, or a cooling-off period, you may request to terminate the affected Services in accordance with applicable Law and, if applicable, receive a pro rata refund of any prepaid and unused Charges. If the Services begin before any withdrawal or cooling-off period, or you fail to terminate your Services during the right of withdrawal or cooling-off period, then you acknowledge that you lose any termination rights under this Section 12.9. Nothing in this Section 12.9 is intended to limit or exclude any of your rights that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable Law.


13.0 TAXES


  • 13.1 Taxes and Fees. Unless otherwise expressly specified by RaH as required by applicable Law, all prices shown by RaH and Charges for the Services on your account are exclusive of Taxes and Fees. Where applicable, Taxes and Fees will be charged on the invoices issued by RaH in accordance with applicable Laws. RaH, in its sole discretion, will (i) calculate the amount of Taxes and Fees due, and (ii) change such amounts without notice to you.


  • 13.2 VAT Invoices. If required by Law, RaH will issue a VAT invoice, or a document that the relevant taxing authority will treat as a VAT invoice, to you. You agree that this invoice may be issued electronically.


  • 13.3 Tax exemptions. If you are exempt from any Taxes and Fees, you will provide RaH with all appropriate tax exemption certificates, and/or other documentation satisfactory to the applicable taxing authorities, to substantiate such exemption status. RaH reserves the right to review and validate tax exemption documentation. If the tax exemption documentation is not provided or not valid, RaH reserves the right to charge applicable Taxes and Fees to you.


  • 13.4 Payment of Taxes and Withholding. You will pay RaH, and you are solely responsible for, any applicable Taxes and Fees. All payments made by you to us under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding Taxes and Fees, as may be required by applicable Law. If any such deduction or withholding Taxes and Fees (including domestic or cross-border withholding taxes) are required on any payment, you will pay such additional amounts as necessary, such that the net amount received by us is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement. We will provide you with such tax forms as reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of payments made under this Agreement.


  • 13.5 Value-Added Tax – Customer Obligations. If Taxes and Fees are due towards the taxing authorities by you instead of RaH, through the reverse charge or other similar mechanism, you will provide RaH with all appropriate evidence for RaH to demonstrate your business nature, such as a valid VAT registration number (or similar information required under the relevant VAT Laws). RaH reserves the right to review and validate your VAT registration number. If the VAT registration number is not valid, RaH reserves the right to nevertheless charge the applicable VAT to you. For the avoidance of doubt, if VAT is due by you to a taxing authority, through the reverse charge or other similar mechanism, you are solely responsible for paying those amounts to the relevant taxing authority, such that RaH receives the full amount of payment required.


  • 13.6 Tax Determination. Tax determination is principally based on the location where you have established your business based on your Customer Data, or if you are an individual, where you permanently reside. This location will be defined by RaH as your ‘Sold To’ address. RaH reserves the right to cross reference this location against other available evidence to validate whether your location is accurate. If your location is inaccurate, RaH reserves the right to charge you any outstanding Taxes and Fees.


  • 13.7 Use and Enjoyment. If you subscribe to any Services, and those Services are used and enjoyed by a subsidiary of you in a country that is different from your location as determined pursuant to Section 13.6, you confirm that, where required, you will treat this as a supply to your subsidiary. If you subscribe to the Services and those Services are used and enjoyed by a branch or individual in a country that is different to your location as determined pursuant to Section 13.6, you acknowledge that you will inform RaH of the Services that have been allocated, and you acknowledge that RaH reserves the right to charge Taxes and Fees based on the use and enjoyment of those Services.


14.0 TERM; TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION


  • 14.1 Term; Automatic Renewal. Each Order Form will specify your Initial Subscription Term and any applicable Renewal Term for the Services. Unless your Order Form expressly states otherwise or applicable Law prohibits automatic renewal, each Renewal Term for the Services will begin automatically at the end of the then-current Initial Subscription Term or Renewal Term, as the case may be, unless either party provides written notice of termination or modification of the Services provided under such Order Form (i) at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of the next Renewal Term, or (ii) within the notice period required by applicable Law (collectively, (i) and (ii), the “Renewal Notice Period”). In order to terminate or modify the affected Services, you must provide notice to RaH, via the billing portal (if available for your account) or in an email to [email protected], in accordance with the Renewal Notice Period. Any statutory rights you may have under the applicable Laws to terminate your Services at an earlier time during the Initial Subscription Term or any given Renewal Term remains unaffected by this clause, and, if required by applicable Law, we will send you a reminder notice prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term (and in accordance with the notice periods specified in this Agreement or other such deadline set by applicable Law that may apply to you) reminding you of your right to terminate the affected Services and how to do so.


  • 14.2 Customer Termination. If you have subscribed to one or more Services for a specific term, such termination will be effective as to each such Service on the last day of the then-current term for each applicable Service, provided that you provide proper and timely notice pursuant to Section 14.1. You may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination if RaH has materially breached this Agreement and has not cured such material breach within thirty (30) business days of RaH’s receipt of your written notice of such breach. Your notice shall state the specific provision in this Agreement that you contend RaH has breached and set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances you allege provide the basis for such breach.


  • 14.3 RaH Termination Rights and Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if you fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement or any referenced policies, guides, notices, or statements, RaH may (i) immediately suspend your access to the Services, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, effective immediately. If RaH chooses to suspend your Services and the failure to comply continues, RaH may exercise any or all of its termination rights in this Section 14.3. Additionally, RaH may terminate this Agreement, for any reason or no reason, upon thirty (30) business days’ advance notice.


  • 14.4 Effect of Termination or Suspension. Upon any termination of this Agreement, you must cease any further use of the Services and Software. No expiration or termination of this Agreement will affect your obligation to pay all Charges that may have become due before such expiration or termination, including that RaH may retain any Charges previously paid by you if this Agreement is terminated, unless prohibited by applicable Law. If your Services are suspended for your failure to comply with this Agreement, you will be liable for all Charges due and owing during the period of suspension.


15.0 MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT


  • 15.1 General Changes. RaH may make modifications, deletions, and additions to this Agreement (“Changes”) from time to time in accordance with this Section 15.1.

When Changes are made, RaH will indicate the effective date of the Changes at the top of the Terms of Service located on our website. Changes to this Agreement do not create a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration (if applicable). If you continue to use the Services after the effective date of the Changes, then you agree to the revised terms and conditions.

17.0 CONFIDENTIALITY


  • 17.1 Definition. “Confidential Information” means: (i) with respect to RaH, any information disclosed by, for, or on behalf of RaH, directly or indirectly, to you or any End User in connection with this Agreement, the Services or Software, or learned or accessed by you or any End User in connection with the Services or Software, including business information, development plans, product roadmap details, systems, strategic plans, source code, services, products, pricing, methods, processes, financial data, programs, trade secrets, know-how, and marketing plans, however it is conveyed in any form or medium, together with all information derived from the foregoing, and any other information that is designated as being confidential (whether or not it is marked as “confidential”) or which is known by you or the End User or reasonably should be understood by you or the End User to be confidential (“RaH Confidential Information”); and (ii) with respect to you, any information disclosed by you to RaH that (a) must be kept confidential pursuant to applicable Law or (b) is sensitive security and technical information that is clearly and conspicuously marked as “confidential” by you (“Customer Confidential Information”). Customer Content is not Customer Confidential Information as it becomes our property upon your uploading it to us.

  • 17.3 Obligation of Confidentiality. You and RaH shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of each other’s Confidential Information using measures that are at least as protective as those taken to protect its own information of a similar sensitivity, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care. Neither you nor RaH will disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any person or entity except to its employees, advisors, and attorneys who have a strict need to know the information in connection with this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as the provisions herein.

26.0 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY


READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT LIMITS OUR LIABILITY TO YOU.

RaH AND ITS AFFILIATES AND EACH OF THEIR LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY:


  • SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES;
  • PERSONAL OR PROPERTY INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING ON ACCOUNT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY INFORMATION OR ADVICE PROVIDED BY OUR WEBSITE OR ITS USERS;
  • LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY;
  • UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, LOSS OF, DELETION OF, OR ALTERATION OF SYSTEM DATA, CUSTOMER CONTENT, OR CUSTOMER DATA;
  • COSTS RELATED TO THE PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES;
  • TERMINATION, SUSPENSION, DISCONTINUANCE, OR DISCONNECTION OF THE SERVICES;

THESE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES AND LIMITATIONS ON AVAILABLE DAMAGES APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS, OBLIGATIONS, AND LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER ARISING IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY), STATUTE, CONTRACT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF RAH, ITS AFFILIATES, OR OUR LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THAT SUCH DAMAGES MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU AND EVEN IF YOUR REMEDIES FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.


BECAUSE SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES OR LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY, THE ABOVE LIMITATION ONLY APPLIES TO YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT THE EXCLUSIONS OF DAMAGES OR LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY ARE NOT PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. 


27.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER


You agree to resolve certain disputes with RaH through binding arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”). Arbitration means that an arbitrator, and not a judge or a jury, will decide the dispute. The parties expressly waive the right to bring or participate in any kind of class, collective, or mass action, private attorney general action, or any other representative action. This Arbitration Agreement supersedes all prior versions.


  • 27.1 Covered Disputes. You and RaH agree that any dispute or claim between you and RaH arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services (a “Dispute”), including any related software, hardware, integrations, advertising or marketing communications, your account, or any aspects of your relationship or transactions with RaH, and including any claims for personal or property injury or damage, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, a Dispute will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.


  • 27.2 Exceptions to Arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims brought by either you or RaH: (i) small claims court actions, if the requirements of the court are met and the claims are only on an individual basis; and (ii) claims pertaining to intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents.


  • 27.3 Informal Dispute Resolution First. We want to address any Disputes without needing arbitration. If you have a Dispute with RaH, prior to initiating arbitration, you agree to mail an individualized request (“Pre-Arbitration Demand”) to ATTN: Raise a Hood, Inc., ____________________________ so that we can work together to resolve the Dispute. A Pre-Arbitration Demand is only valid when it pertains to, and is on behalf of, a single individual. A Pre-Arbitration Demand brought on behalf of multiple individuals is invalid as to all. The Pre-Arbitration Demand must include: (i) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your account; (ii) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; (iii) a description of your Dispute; and (iv) your signature. Likewise, if RaH has a Dispute with you, RaH will send an email with its individualized Pre-Arbitration Demand, including the requirements listed above, to the email address associated with your RaH account. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) calendar days of when either you or RaH submitted a Pre-Arbitration Demand, an arbitration can be brought. If you or RaH have a Dispute involving claims under the exception to arbitration in Section 27.2(2), then this Section 27.3 does not apply to such Dispute. You agree that compliance with this Section 27.3 is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and that the arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration filed without fully and completely complying with these informal dispute resolution procedures.


  • 27.4 Arbitration Procedure. If, after completing the informal dispute resolution process set out in Section 27.3, either you or RaH wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must serve the other party with a demand for arbitration. Any demand for arbitration by you shall be sent to the RaH address in Section 27.3. RaH will send any arbitration demand to the email address associated with your RaH account or to your counsel, if any. You and RaH agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs this Arbitration Agreement. If the FAA cannot apply for whatever reason, then the state laws governing arbitration procedures where you reside apply.


  • The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Assocation https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Commercial-Rules-Web.pdf. This Agreement will govern to the extent it conflicts with the arbitration provider’s rules. If the applicable arbitration provider is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate alternative arbitration provider, then the parties will ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. To the extent there is a dispute over which arbitration provider has jurisdiction, a NAM arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve that dispute.

To the extent there is a dispute over which arbitration provider has jurisdiction, a NAM arbitrator shall be appointed to resolve that dispute.


  • Arbitration hearings will take place through videoconferencing by default, unless you and RaH agree upon another location in writing. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and recoverable costs. Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. An arbitration award shall have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving RaH and a different individual. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve all threshold arbitrability issues, including whether this Agreement is applicable, unconscionable, or enforceable, as well as any defense to arbitration. However, a court has exclusive authority to rule on the Mass Action Waiver in Section 27.6, including any claim that the section is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that it has been breached.


  • If a request to proceed in small claims court (see Section 27.2(1)), is made after an arbitration has been initiated, but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. If you or RaH challenges the small claims court election in your Dispute, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the small claims court election is unenforceable, then such election shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement as to your Dispute. However, such court determination shall have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving RaH and a different individual.


  • 27.5 Jury Trial Waiver. You and RaH 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 RaH are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 27.2 above. Court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. Discovery may be limited in arbitration, and procedures are more streamlined than in court.


  • 27.6 Mass Action Waiver. You and RaH agree that, except as specified in Section 27.7 below, each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, representative, or mass action 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. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this Section 27.6 are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and RaH agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and shall be pursued in the state or federal courts located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This subsection does not prevent you or RaH from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.


  • 27.7 Bellwether Arbitrations. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and RaH agree that if there are fifty (50) or more individual arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature brought against either party by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations within a one hundred and eighty (180) day period (“Mass Filing”), the parties shall select sixteen (16) individual arbitration demands (eight (8) per side) for arbitration to proceed (“Bellwether Arbitrations”). Only those sixteen (16) arbitration demands shall be filed with the arbitration provider, and the parties shall hold in abeyance, and not file, the non-Bellwether Arbitrations. RaH will pay the arbitration provider’s costs for the sixteen (16) Bellwether Arbitrations. The statutes of limitation, including the requirement to file within one (1) year in Section 27.10 below, shall remain tolled when non-Bellwether arbitration demands are held in abeyance. While the Bellwether Arbitrations are adjudicated, no other demand for arbitration that is part of the Mass Filing may be processed, administrated, or adjudicated, and no filing or other administrative costs for such a demand for arbitration shall be due from either party to the arbitration provider. If, contrary to this provision, a party prematurely files non-Bellwether Arbitrations with the arbitration provider, the parties agree that the arbitration provider shall hold those demands in abeyance.


  • All parties agree that arbitration demands are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Any party may request that the arbitration provider appoint a sole standing administrative arbitrator (“Administrative Arbitrator”) to determine threshold questions such as (i) whether the Bellwether Arbitration process is applicable or enforceable, (ii) whether particular demand(s) are part of a Mass Filing, and (iii) whether demands within a Mass Filing were filed in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 27.3. In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree that the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s costs shall be paid by RaH.
  • The parties shall work in good faith with the arbitrator to complete each Bellwether Arbitration within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days of its initial pre-hearing conference. The parties agree that the Bellwether Arbitration process is designed to achieve an overall faster, more efficient, and less costly mechanism for resolving Mass Filings, including the claims of individuals who are not selected for a Bellwether Arbitration.


  • Following resolution of the Bellwether Arbitrations, the parties agree to engage in a global mediation of all remaining arbitration demands comprising the Mass Filing (“Global Mediation”). The Global Mediation shall be administered by the arbitration provider administering the Bellwether Arbitrations. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Filing within thirty (30) calendar days following the mediation, the remaining demands for arbitration comprising the Mass Filing shall be filed and administered by the arbitration provider on an individual basis pursuant to the arbitration provider’s rules, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise in writing. Any party may request that the arbitration provider appoint an Administrative Arbitrator to determine threshold questions regarding the newly filed demands.


  • The parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement the Bellwether Arbitration process, including the payment of filing and administrative costs for the Bellwether Arbitrations, deferring any filing costs associated with the non-Bellwether Arbitration Mass Filings until the Bellwether Arbitrations and subsequent Global Mediation have concluded, and cooperate on any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (i) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (ii) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Bellwether Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective, or mass action of any kind, or an arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision. The statutes of limitation applicable to each arbitration demand within a Mass Filing, including the requirement to file within one (1) year in Section 27.10 below, shall remain tolled from the time a party makes a Pre-Arbitration Demand to the time when that party files the arbitration demand with the arbitration provider.


  • 27.8 Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment. At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for the arbitration hearing, you or RaH may serve a written offer of judgment upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitration provider, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever occurs first, it shall be deemed withdrawn, and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs from the time of the offer (which, solely for purposes of offers of judgment, may include reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent they are recoverable by statute, in an amount not to exceed the damages awarded).


  • The parties agree that any disputes with respect to settlement offer(s) or offer(s) of judgment in a Mass Filing are to be resolved by a single arbitrator to the extent such offers contain the same material terms. For arbitrations involving represented parties, the represented parties’ attorneys agree to communicate individual settlement offer(s) or offer(s) of judgment to each and every arbitration claimant or respondent to whom such offers are extended.


  • 27.9 Arbitration Costs. Except as provided for in a Mass Filing (see Section 27.7), your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative, and arbitrator costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable arbitration provider’s rules.


  • 27.10 Requirement to File Within One Year. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, and notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, any claim or cause of action under this Agreement (with the exception of disputes under Section 27.2(2)) must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be permanently barred. The statute of limitations and any arbitration cost deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by Section 27.3 above.


  • 27.11 Reserved


  • 27.12 Severability. Except as provided in Section 27.6 above, if any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to achieve the closest possible intent to the original intent of this section, inclusive of the severed provision.
