17. Legal Disputes

About Arbitration

Arbitration is a method of claim resolution that is less formal than a traditional court proceeding. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a jury and/or judge, and the outcome is subject to limited review by courts. An arbitrator can award the same damages and/or other relief as a court could do (including, but not limited to, injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and the arbitrator must follow the terms between the parties as a court would be required to do.

You Are Agreeing to Binding Arbitration

UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION, YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY ANY CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Any dispute, claim or controversy between you and The Admit Method and/or its employees, officers, directors, principals, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns arising from or relating in any way to: (1) the terms of the Agreement and their interpretation, including, but not limited to, the breach, termination or validity of such terms; (2) your use of any website or service owned or operated by The Admit Method; or (3) any services sold or offered by The Admit Method through any website owned or operated by The Admit Method, shall be resolved by binding arbitration.

Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver

YOU AND THE ADMIT METHOD EACH ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO THE LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU AND THE ADMIT METHOD FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION/CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS.

Arbitration Rules

Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator and will be governed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, the "AAA Rules") currently in effect, and will be administered by the AAA. The arbitration will be conducted in English. Payment for any and all reasonable AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Opt-Out Procedure

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out, you will still be bound by all other provisions of these Terms.

18. Governing Law and Venue

You and The Admit Method agree that any claim between us involves commerce under, and is governed exclusively by, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and U.S. federal law, and not by any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration. You and The Admit Method expressly agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, shall govern the substantive issues in dispute, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.

For any actions not subject to arbitration, you and The Admit Method mutually agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts located in Delaware and the federal courts located in Delaware.

19. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signatures

Visiting the Site, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Site, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES.

20. Miscellaneous

These Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.

These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.
