21.1 Generally
Except as described in Section 21.2 (Exceptions) and 21.3 (Opt-Out), Business and Peppr agree that every disputearising in connection with this RA, the Service, or communications from Peppr will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, orany other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during orafter the termination of this RA. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator. BUSINESS UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, BY ENTERINGINTO THIS RA, BUSINESS AND PEPPR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURYOR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
21.2 Exceptions
Although the parties are agreeing to arbitrate most disputesbetween themselves, nothing in this RA will be deemed to waive, preclude, orotherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action insmall claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicablefederal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seekinjunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suitin a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
21.3 Opt-Out
If Business does not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, Business may opt out of the provisions of this Section 21 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that Business agrees to this RA by sending a letter to Peppr.com, Inc., Attention: Legal Department– Arbitration Opt-Out, 530 Lytton Avenue, 2nd Floor, Palo Alto, CA 94301 that specifies: Business’s full legal name, the email address associated with Business’s account on the Service, and a statement that Business wishes to optout of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Peppr receives Business’s Opt-Out Notice, this Section 21 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will bevoid and any action arising out of this RA will be resolved as set forth in Section 22.1 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of this RA will not be affected by Business’s Opt-Out Notice.
21.4 Arbitrator
This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between theparties, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by this RA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at+1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Peppr.
21.5 Commencing Arbitration
Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice ofArbitration”). Peppr’s address for Notice is: Peppr.com, Inc., 530 Lytton Avenue, 2nd Floor, Palo Alto, CA 94301. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describethe nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specificrelief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolvethe claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do sowithin 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, Business or Peppr may commence an arbitration proceeding. If Business commences arbitration in accordance with this RA, Peppr will reimburse Business for its payment of thefiling fee, unless Business’s claim is for more than US $10,000 or if Peppr has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds thateither the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to AAA Rules.
21.6 Arbitration Proceedings
Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county andstate of Business’s billing address unless the parties agree otherwise or, ifthe claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief),Business may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely onthe basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic orvideo hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rulesin the county (or parish) of Business’s billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Business or Peppr must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a finaldecision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitrationis conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision andaward, if any, are based.
21.7 Arbitration Relief
Except as provided in Section 21.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards Business an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Peppr before an arbitrator was selected, Peppr will pay to Business the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
21.8 No Class Actions
BUSINESS AND PEPPR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN BUSINESS’S OR PEPPR’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both Business and Peppr agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
21.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision
If Peppr makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, Business may reject the change by sending Peppr written notice within 30 days of the change to Peppr’s address for Notice of Arbitration, inwhich case Business’s account with Peppr will be immediately terminated andthis arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes Business rejected will survive.
21.10 Enforceability
If Section 21.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 21 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Peppr receives an Opt-Out Notice from Business, then the entirety of this Section 21 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22.1 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to this RA.
