Arbitration
IMPACT AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS (“DISPUTE”) WILL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. You and Impact may still bring claims in small claims court, bring suit regarding intellectual property infringement, and seek injunctive relief in a court of law. Nothing will bar either party from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, but an arbitrator can award the same types of relief that a court can. A decision from an arbitrator can be subject to very limited review by a court. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND IMPACT ARE HEREBY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO JOIN AND PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER THE LAW.
a) Opt-Out of Arbitration Agreement. You have the right to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by contacting info@impactcapital.net within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. In your request, please state that you decline the arbitration agreement in this section and provide your full name and the e-mail address you used to register for the Services.
b) Notice of Arbitration. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Impact at the address listed above and also via e-mail to info@impactcapital.net (“Notice of Arbitration”). Impact will send any Notice of Arbitration to you to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your e-mail address.
c) Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules (the “AAA Rules”). Information about AAA and the AAA Rules and filing process is available at http://www.adr.org/ or by contacting Impact. If your claim is for $10,000 or less you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. If your claim is for $10,000 or more, the arbitration hearing will take place in San Francisco, California, in a location that you and Impact agree upon. Whoever files the arbitration pays the initial filing fees. However, if your claim is for $10,000 or less, Impact will reimburse you for your payment of the initial filing fee unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
d) Enforceability. If the waiver of class actions above is found unenforceable, or this entire section is found unenforceable, then this entire section will be null and void. If that happens, you and Impact agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and governing law in the Law, Jurisdiction, and Invalidity section will govern any Dispute.
