Dispute Resolution: Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

This section constitutes the arbitration agreement between you and us (‘Arbitration Agreement’) and includes a jury trial waiver and a class action waiver. This means that if a dispute is arbitrated, you are giving up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under these Terms of Service. You are also giving up your right to bring or participate in a class action in court or in class-wide arbitration. This section governs disputes arising from or related to these Terms of Service, your use of our products and services, your access to and use of the Web Site, App and any transactions or relationships resulting from any of the foregoing (the ‘Covered Disputes’). A dispute is generally any unresolved disagreement between or among you and us, and all such matters will be decided by arbitration. The term Covered Disputes shall be broadly interpreted and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross- claims and third-party claims, and disputes based upon contract, negligence, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law, and equity. However, any dispute concerning the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement or the arbitrability of any claim or dispute is not a Covered Dispute and shall be for the court, not an arbitrator, to decide; whereas any dispute concerning these Terms of Service as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms ‘we,’ ‘us’ and ‘our’ also include our officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns.

1. Dispute Resolution Without Courts, Judges, or Juries. You and we agree that upon demand by either you or us, regardless of when they arose, any Covered Disputes between you and us will be resolved by the arbitration process outlined in this section. This means:
o You and we are choosing arbitration rather than litigation to resolve disputes.
o You and we are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court (except for small claims court).

2. Binding Arbitration. Binding arbitration lets a neutral and independent third party (the ‘arbitrator’) resolve a Covered Dispute instead of the court system, judges, or juries.

In the arbitration of a Covered Dispute, that neither you nor we will be entitled to:

o join or combine Covered Disputes with those of others in any arbitration; or
o serve as a representative or member of a class in any arbitration.

Moreover, the information that can be obtained in discovery from each other or from third persons in arbitration is generally more limited than in a lawsuit. Other rights that the parties might have in court may not be available in arbitration.

3. Arbitration Procedures. Each arbitration, at the claimant’s election, will be administered by and under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (‘AAA’), https://www.adr.org. If AAA is unable to serve and the parties cannot agree on a substitute, a court with jurisdiction shall select the arbitrator. A single arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the administrator’s rules. The arbitrator must be a member of the state bar where the arbitration is held with more than 10 years of experience or a retired judge and must have expertise in the substantive laws applicable to the subject matter of the Covered Dispute.
The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law in deciding the dispute. The arbitrator may award any relief available in court on an individual claim consistent with the constitutional standards applicable in judicial proceedings. At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall write a brief explanation of the basis of his or her award. If you demand arbitration first, you will pay the claimant’s initial arbitration filing fees or case management fees required by the applicable rules up to $1,000, and we will pay or reimburse you for any additional initial filing fee or case management fee. We will pay the entirety of the filing fees and/or case management fees if we demand arbitration first. We shall pay the arbitration costs and fees for the first day of arbitration, up to a maximum of eight hours. The arbitrator shall decide who shall pay any additional costs and fees. You may ask the applicable arbitration administrator to reduce or waive your fees or ask us to voluntarily pay an additional share of said fees, based upon your financial circumstances or the nature of your claim. We will always pay any costs and fees required by applicable law or that are necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement.
Regardless of who elected arbitration or how arbitration was elected, the party asserting the claim or dispute (i.e., the party seeking money damages or other relief) is responsible for starting the arbitration proceedings. Thus, if you assert a claim against us in court, and we elect to arbitrate that claim by filing a motion to compel arbitration which is granted by the court, you will be responsible for starting the arbitration proceedings. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in that or any related or unrelated lawsuit (including a claim initially asserted on an individual basis but modified to be asserted on a class, representative or multi-party basis). Nothing in that litigation shall constitute a waiver of any rights under this Arbitration Agreement.

You and we each acknowledge and agree that in this relationship:

o You and we are participating in transactions involving interstate commerce.

o Any and all claims, controversies, or disputes arising out of or related in any way to these Terms of Service, your use of our products and services, your access to and use of the Web Site or App and any transactions or relationships resulting from any of the foregoing shall be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (‘FAA’), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., at the election of you or us.

o THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT CLASS ARBITRATION; THAT IS, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT ALLOW YOU OR US TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY FOR OTHERS IN THE ARBITRATION.

4. Small Claims Not Affected. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, this Arbitration Agreement does not affect your or our right to pursue disputes in small claims court (or your state’s equivalent court) in the state where you reside if the court has jurisdiction over the dispute and the dispute remains in that court. However, if the dispute is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, it shall be subject to arbitration.

5. Opt-out Right. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending to us in writing your name and address, Verthermia account number (if any), and notice of your decision to opt out to: Info@Verthermia.com or to the following address: Henderson NV within 30 days of entering into these Terms of Service. If you send this notice, then this Arbitration Agreement will not apply to either party, but the remaining parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement.

6.  Appeal. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount of the dispute is more than $25,000, any party will have 30 days to appeal the award by notifying the arbitration administrator and all parties in writing. The administrator will appoint a three-arbitrator panel to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it cannot be used in any case or arbitration except to enforce the award.

7. Severability. If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect, except that: (i) if any provision dealing with class action, class arbitration, or consolidation is found to be illegal or unenforceable and all appeals from that ruling have been exhausted, then this entire Arbitration Agreement (except for this sentence) will be severed and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service shall be given full force and effect, and (ii) if a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that this Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable with respect to such claim and all appeals from that ruling have been exhausted, the public injunctive relief claim will be severed and stayed in court until the completion of any individual arbitration of any claims seeking monetary relief.

8. Miscellaneous.

o You and we each agree to take all steps and execute all documents necessary for the implementation of arbitration proceedings. You can participate without representation or may choose to be represented by an attorney or other authorized representative unless that choice is prohibited by applicable law.

o Arbitration fees shall be determined by the rules or procedures of the arbitration administrator, unless limited by applicable law. The arbitrator may award reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party if allowed by statute or applicable law.
o The arbitrator may hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions as part of the arbitration proceeding, such as motions for judgment on the pleadings, summary judgment, or partial summary judgment.

o All parties (the arbitrator(s), you, and we) agree to make best efforts to ensure that an arbitration proceeding as described in this Arbitration Agreement is completed within 180 days of filing the Covered Dispute. You and we agree not to disclose the existence, content, or results of the arbitration, except for disclosures of information required in the ordinary course of business or permitted by applicable law or regulation. The arbitration shall take place in the federal district of your residence, at a location determined by the arbitrator.

o All statutes of limitations and rules of privilege that apply to any Covered Dispute apply to any arbitration between you and us.
o This Arbitration Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes all prior arrangements and other communications about dispute resolution. The provisions of this Arbitration Agreement will survive termination, amendment, or expiration of your account with us, these Terms of Service, any other relationship between you and us and any bankruptcy by you (if permitted by applicable bankruptcy law).

o No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Agreement.

o If there are differences between this Arbitration Agreement and the rules of any arbitration administrator or other provisions in these Terms of Service, this Arbitration Agreement will control.
