ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CHOICE OF LAW
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration: By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Services (collectively “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a court of law in any jurisdiction and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding, as set forth further below. This section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all Disputes between you and the Company, including but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and claims that may be adjudicated in small claims court, as provided below.
You and the Company agree to resolve any and all Disputes as follows:
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules (https://www.adr.org/Rules), Consumer Arbitration Rules (https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf) as applicable, and any supplementary rules then in effect (“AAA Rules”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions or class arbitrations and except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may initiate an arbitration by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting https://www.adr.org/ContactUs.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by AAA’s applicable rules. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the Company will pay the additional cost. We will also reimburse fees for claims totaling less than $10,000. For claims at or above $10,000, if the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, the Company will pay the fees invoiced by AAA, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses.
If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing or in Salt Lake County, Utah. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Salt Lake County in the State of Utah, United States of America, and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Salt Lake County, Utah in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Class Action Waiver: You and the Company agree that each party is waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding, including in arbitration. The parties may bring claims against the other only in their individual capacities, and not as a plaintiff or a class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis.
Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out (“Opt-Out Notice”) (1) by email to [email protected] with the subject line, "MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT" or (2) by mail at NewGrowth, Customer Support, PO Box 17568 RPO The Ritz, Vancouver, BC V6E 0B2. The Opt-Out Notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of (a) the Effective Date of these Terms; or (b) the first date that you used the site that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. To be effective, all Opt-Out Notices must contain your full name, address, and signature. If you opt out of these arbitration and class action waiver provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them, but all other terms of the Agreement will continue to apply. Opting out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may enter with us.
You agree that any Dispute between you and the Company shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Utah, without regard to their conflict of laws provisions.
Changes to Arbitration Agreement or Class Action Waiver : If we change this Arbitration Agreement or class action waiver provision after the date you first agreed to the Terms or to any subsequent changes to the Terms, you may reject any such change by providing us with written notice of such rejection within thirty (30) days of the date such change becomes effective. Your written notice must be sent (1) by email to [email protected] or (2) by mail at NewGrowth, Customer Support, 29 Cambridge St., Victoria, BC, Canada V8V 4A7
