Most subscriber concerns can be resolved by calling SERVICE PROVIDER. If SERVICE PROVIDER is unable to resolve CUSTOMER complaint to CUSTOMER satisfaction (or if SERVICE PROVIDER has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with CUSTOMER after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Moreover, in arbitration CUSTOMER is entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from SERVICE PROVIDER to at least the same extent as CUSTOMER would be in court.
In addition, under certain circumstances (as explained below), SERVICE PROVIDER will pay CUSTOMER more than the amount of the arbitrator’s award and will pay CUSTOMER attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees if the arbitrator awards CUSTOMER an amount that is greater than what SERVICE PROVIDER has offered CUSTOMER to settle the dispute.
SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
References to “SERVICE PROVIDER,” “CUSTOMER,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Services under this Agreement or prior agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court rather than by arbitration if the claim qualifies for small claims court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER is proper. This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude CUSTOMER from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on CUSTOMER behalf.
CUSTOMER agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, CUSTOMER and SERVICE PROVIDER are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). A Notice to SERVICE PROVIDER should be addressed to: General Counsel (Arbitration), JLB., 301 Mallory Station Rd, Suite 210, Franklin, TN 37067 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). A Notice to CUSTOMER will be addressed to the billing address that SERVICE PROVIDER has on file for CUSTOMER.
The amount of any settlement offer made by SERVICE PROVIDER or CUSTOMER shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator in any arbitration between us until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which CUSTOMER or SERVICE PROVIDER is entitled.
If SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 45 days after the Notice is received, CUSTOMER or SERVICE PROVIDER may commence an arbitration proceeding.
CUSTOMER may initiate an arbitration by filing a claim form with the AAA and sending a copy of the claim form to SERVICE PROVIDER at the Notice Address. CUSTOMER can access a claim form and directions for filing at the website for AAA, www.adr.org. If SERVICE PROVIDER receives notice at the Notice Address that CUSTOMER have commenced arbitration and paid the filing fee to the AAA, it will promptly reimburse CUSTOMER for CUSTOMER payment of the filing fee by check to CUSTOMER address or by credit to CUSTOMER account unless CUSTOMER claim is for greater than $75,000. (The filing fee currently is $200 for claims under $10,000 but is subject to change by the arbitration provider.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the AAA, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. One arbitrator, who is selected under the AAA Rules, will conduct the arbitration. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. Unless SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Williamson County, TN. The right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
If an award issued by the arbitrator exceeds $75,000, either party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the AAA by a written notice of appeal filed within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to the rules of the AAA. The AAA will then notify the other party that the award has been appealed. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, except for any appellate right which exists under the FAA. If an award issued by the arbitrator does not exceed $75,000, any appeal rights from the award will be governed by the FAA.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, SERVICE PROVIDER and CUSTOMER will split all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of CUSTOMER 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 such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, CUSTOMER agree to reimburse SERVICE PROVIDER for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise CUSTOMER obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if CUSTOMER initiate an arbitration in which CUSTOMER seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.
If the arbitrator issues CUSTOMER an award that is greater than the value of SERVICE PROVIDER’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, or if the arbitrator issues CUSTOMER an award and SERVICE PROVIDER made no settlement offer, then SERVICE PROVIDER will pay CUSTOMER the amount of the award or $2,500 (the “Alternative Payment”), whichever is greater, and pay CUSTOMER attorney, if any, the amount of attorney’s fees incurred, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that CUSTOMER attorney, if any, reasonably accrues and documents with specificity for investigating, preparing, and pursuing CUSTOMER claim in arbitration (the “Attorney Fee Award”).
The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the Alternative Payment and the Attorney Fee Award at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed in this Section 17.8 supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses CUSTOMER may have under applicable law. Thus, if CUSTOMER would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding CUSTOMER that amount. However, CUSTOMER may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or expenses. Although under some laws SERVICE PROVIDER may have the right to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, SERVICE PROVIDER agrees that it will not seek such an award.
The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. CUSTOMER AND SERVICE PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN CUSTOMER OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both CUSTOMER and SERVICE PROVIDER 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. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void and all disputes shall be heard by a court.
CUSTOMER is agreeing that CUSTOMER will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language in Section 12 of Version August 1, 2013.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if SERVICE PROVIDER makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during the term of CUSTOMER subscription with SERVICE PROVIDER, CUSTOMER may reject any such change by sending us written notice to the Notice Address postmarked within 30 days of the date of the change.

If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired thereby. The foregoing does not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions that is part of the arbitration provision in Section 17; if that prohibition is found to be unenforceable, the entire DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION provision (but only the DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION provision) will be null and void and the dispute will be heard by a court. SERVICE PROVIDER may amend or replace such unenforceable provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of SERVICE PROVIDER as reflected in the original provision. Nothing in this Agreement or in the understanding of the parties confers upon the parties the status of agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. SERVICE PROVIDER may subcontract any work, obligations or other performance required of SERVICE PROVIDER under this Agreement without CUSTOMER consent. SERVICE PROVIDER will not be liable for delays, damages or failures in performance because of causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of a government in its sovereign capacity, acts of war, terrorism, acts of a public enemy, fires, earthquakes, acts of God, labor disputes, strikes, work slow-downs or other labor-related activity.
Service Provider may freely subcontract its duties and obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Service Provider subcontracts any of its duties and obligations, Service Provider agrees that: (i) the third party shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any such permitted subcontracting shall not release Service Provider from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
Service Provider is acting as an independent contractor in its capacity under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the relationship of the Customer and Service Provider shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture, or any other relationship between the Customer and Service Provider except as is limited by the terms of this Agreement.
Service Provider reserves the right to take down applicable software and servers hosting the infrastructure of Services to conduct routine maintenance checks (“Scheduled Maintenance”). Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform Scheduled Maintenance outside of regular business hours. Service Provider will not be responsible for any damages or costs incurred by Customer, if any, for Scheduled Maintenance.
