BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please read this section carefully – it may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury hear your claims. By using the Services, you irrevocably agree: (a) to waive all rights to trial in a court before a judge or jury on any claim, action or dispute with us or relating in any way to your use of the Services or the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Service Terms including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable (“Claims”); (b) that all Claims will be determined exclusively by final and binding arbitration in New Jersey before one arbitrator; and (c) that the arbitrator will not have the authority to consolidate the Claims of other users of the Services (“Users”) and will not have the authority to fashion a proceeding as a class or collective action or to award relief to a group or class of Users in one arbitration proceeding.
Notwithstanding these rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. All parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Claims. However, nothing in this section shall prevent us from enforcing our intellectual property rights and/or remedy unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, unauthorized access, fraud or computer fraud, and/or industrial espionage in court.
Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Service Terms, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator determines a party to be a prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
It is very important that you read and understand this entire section. This section explains that by using the Services, you are agreeing to resolve any dispute related to the Services or these Service Terms through binding arbitration, and you are giving up your right to resolve disputes in front of a judge or jury. You are also agreeing to arbitrate your claims individually, and not as part of a class action.
