Agreement to Pre-Arbitration Notification
This Agreement provides for final, binding arbitration of all disputed claims (discussed immediately below). The laws of the State of California will govern this Agreement, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. The Company and you agree, however, that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any disputes before arbitration proceedings or any other proceedings authorized herein are initiated. In the event of a dispute, you shall send a letter to the Company briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief.
If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after the letter is sent, you may proceed to initiate arbitration proceedings or any other proceedings authorized herein.
Agreement to Arbitrate Claims
Except to the limited extent noted below, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site and Services shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall take place in Orange County, California in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (collectively, the "Rules"). Unless either party or the arbitrator requests a hearing, the parties will submit their arguments and evidence to the arbitrator in writing. The arbitrator will make an award based only on the documents. This is called a Desk Arbitration. If any party makes a written request for a hearing within ten days after the American Arbitration Association acknowledges receipt of a claimant's demand for arbitration (or the arbitrator requests a hearing), the parties shall participate in a telephone hearing. In no event shall the parties be required to travel to Orange County, California to participate in the arbitration.
This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. Either party may seek enforcement of this provision in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.
The arbitral award shall be judicially enforceable. Any court of competent jurisdiction may, and upon request shall, enter judgment on the arbitral award. Either party may seek confirmation (judgment on the award) and/or enforcement in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Rules to the contrary, and with the exception of Desk Arbitrations, the Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of evidence in any arbitral proceeding.
Both you and the Company waive the right to bring any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision brought by anyone else.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding.
If a proposed class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action arbitration is initiated notwithstanding the above-prohibition and it is finally determined by the arbitrator (or a court of competent jurisdiction) that the waiver specified herein is not enforceable, then the arbitration proceedings shall be bifurcated as follows and notwithstanding any provision in the Rules to the contrary:
1. The issue of arbitrability shall be determined by the arbitrator pursuant to the applicable rules and substantive law.
2. Assuming the arbitrator concludes that the arbitration may proceed, said arbitration shall be stayed, and the issue of whether to certify any alleged or putative class for a class action (or other representative) proceeding shall be presented to and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have authority or jurisdiction to decide class certification (or any similar representative action) issues. The decision to certify or not certify a class action (or to otherwise permit the action to proceed on a representative basis) shall be appealable in the judicial proceedings consistent with the rules and law governing the appeals of interlocutory decisions or class certification (or similar) rulings specifically, if appropriate.
3. Once any issues regarding class certification (and/or similar representative requirements) have been finally decided by the court, the arbitrator will have authority to decide the substantive claims on an individual or a class (or other representative) basis, as may be determined and directed by the court.
Appeal Rights
The arbitrator(s) shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, make clearly erroneous factual findings, or abuse his or her discretion, and the award may be vacated or corrected on appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.
Opting-Out of Dispute Resolution Procedure and Class Action Waiver
You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and the class action waiver specified in this Agreement by doing the following. Within 30 days of downloading the App, you must send a letter to:
Slimtronics Inc.
2522 Chambers Road
Tustin, CA 92780
Attn: Legal Department that specifies (1) your name, (2) your mailing address, and (3) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver specified in this Agreement. All other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to participate in pre-dispute mediation, and all disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts in Orange County, California.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, we agree that, if the Company makes any future change to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to the Company’s address), you may reject any such change by sending a letter to the Company within 30 days of the change to the address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.
Your letter must be postmarked by the applicable 30-day deadline to be effective. You are not required to send the letter by confirmed mail or return receipt requested, but it is recommended that you do so. Your request to be excluded will only be effective and enforceable if you can prove that the request was postmarked within the applicable 30-day deadline.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its Affiliated Companies, contractors and other partners, and each of their respective officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand (including reasonable attorneys' fees), made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Site or the Services, your breach of this Agreement, your violation of any rights of any third party (including any third party website terms of service or privacy policies), or from any User Content that you post or otherwise submit on, through or in connection with the Services. Your indemnification obligation will survive this Agreement and your use of the Site and the Services.
Other
The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The Section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Slimtronics and Slimtronics Layers are trademarks of Slimtronics Inc. This Agreement operates to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of this Agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from this Agreement and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
