GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION–ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
HOW WE AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES—MANDATORY ARBITRATION OF ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES: THIS SECTION PROVIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BINDING ARBITRATION. UNLESS CLIENT OPTS-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY E-MAILING e-mail address WITHIN 30 DAYS OF FIRST SIGNING UP FOR SERVICES, CLIENT AND COMPANY SHALL BE BOUND BY THIS BINDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AND GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO SEEK RELIEF IN THE COURTS EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN TO ENFORCE ANY ARBITRATION AWARD. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, and any Conflict of Law provisions thereunder. In the event of any controversy, claim, or dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties agree to resolve all issues solely through the use of binding Arbitration, governed by the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. Any such Arbitration shall take place within Maricopa County, Arizona or at such other location as the parties may agree and shall be conducted by a mutually agreed upon Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be neutral, independent, and shall comply with the AAA code of ethics. The arbitrator or arbitration panel shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, conscionability of formation of this Agreement and of this arbitration requirement. The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, binding on all parties, but subject to review in accordance with applicable statutes, rules and regulations governing arbitration awards. Judgment on the award made by the Arbitrator may be entered into any court having jurisdiction over the parties. If either party fails to comply with the Arbitrator’s award, the injured party may petition the Circuit Court for enforcement. The parties further agree that either party may bring claims against the other only in his/her, or its individual capacity and not as a Plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, the parties agree that the Arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. In the event that a party fails to proceed with Arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the Arbitrator’s award, or fails to comply with the Arbitrator’s award, the other party shall be entitled to costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for having to compel Arbitration or defend or enforce the award. This section and the arbitration requirement shall survive termination of Services or the Agreement.
