19. Limitation of Liability
EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You and we agree that any dispute between you and Percapita arising out of or relating to (i) the App, (ii) this Agreement, or (iii) one or more of the Services (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined in this Section (the “Arbitration Agreement”).
(a) Governing Law. The Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. If the FAA is found not to apply to any issue that arises under this section or the enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue will be resolved under the laws of the State of New York. These laws will apply no matter where in the world you live, but if you live outside of the United States, you may be entitled to the protection of the mandatory consumer protection provisions of your local consumer protection law.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns and allow you to address our concerns without needing to file an arbitration. Before filing a claim in arbitration against Percapita, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by sending written notice (“Notice”) to us at customerservice@Percapita.com. Before filing a claim in arbitration against you, Percapita will send Notice to you. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim and specific relief sought. If the parties cannot resolve the Dispute within 30 days after receipt of the Notice, you or Percapita may initiate arbitration proceedings.
(c) We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and Percapita agree to exclusively resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.
(d) Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting customerservice@Percapita.com within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.
(e) Initiating Arbitration and Arbitration Procedures.
(i) A form to initiate arbitration proceedings is available on the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with AAA, the party initiating arbitration must send a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You must send such copy to Percapita at: 169 Madison Avenue, #2309, New York, New York 10016 and to: notices@percapita.com. Percapita will send such copy to the current address Percapita has in your User Profile. You agree to keep your contact information up to date in your User Profile at all times.
(ii) AAA will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect. Arbitration will be handled by a single arbitrator in accordance with those rules, unless the amount subject to the arbitral claim exceeds $1,000,000 in which case there will be three (3) arbitrators. The arbitrator(s), and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, validity, applicability, or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
(iii) You may choose to have arbitration conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, via a telephone hearing, by an in-person hearing in the county of your residence, or as otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties.
(f) Arbitration Fees. For arbitral claims of $100,000 (US Dollars) or less that you file with the AAA, you will pay the filing fee specified in the rules of the AAA. Percapita will pay any additional required filing fees, and all administration and arbitrator fees (collectively, “Filing Fees”) unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous in which case the arbitrator will determine the amount you should pay. For claims over $100,000 (US Dollars), you will be responsible for the Filing Fees.
(g) Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or Percapita may assert an individual claim in small claims court consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply, provided it is brought and maintained as an individual action. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
(h) Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver.
(i) You and percapita acknowledge and agree that they are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. the parties further agree that any arbitration shall be coNducted in their individual capacities and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOu and percapita may not be plaintiffs or class members in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and may each bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity. the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
(ii) If there is a determination that any term in the immediately preceding paragraph is unenforceable for any reason as to any claim, then the Arbitration Agreement will be inapplicable to that claim, and that claim will instead proceed through litigation in court rather than by arbitration, but only after the conclusion of the arbitration of any claim or dispute that is subject to the Arbitration Agreement
(i) Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. A party that prevails in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
