Arbitration
Mandatory arbitration; exceptions to mandatory arbitration, waiver of class action rights; limitations period; venue and choice of law
You and Sierra Agility agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Service or your use thereof, including our Agreement, shall be determined by mandatory binding arbitration. This arbitration provision shall be governed by the laws of the state of Nevada and applies to all disputes, claims, and controversies arising out of or related to this Agreement between [Parties] (“Dispute”). This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service and the termination of your subscription to a Sierra Agility Paid Service. Unless otherwise agreed, any Dispute must be resolved through mandatory binding arbitration. Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
- Arbitration. The Parties hereby agree to resolve any Dispute by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator or panel of three arbitrators (as selected per section 4 below) pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). All aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the selection of the arbitrator(s), shall be conducted following the then-current AAA Rules. The Parties agree that all Disputes shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, and they hereby waive their right to a jury trial or any other form of judicial review.
- Initiation of Arbitration and Notice. A party wishing to initiate arbitration must provide written notice to the other Party or Parties, who shall respond as outlined in any applicable AAA Rules within thirty (30) days from receipt of the initiating notice.
- Location, Administration, and Costs of Arbitration. The arbitration shall take place in the state of Nevada. The administrative costs and fees to the AAA, including any filing fees or deposits required by the AAA Rules, shall be borne equally by both Parties unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.
- Restriction Against Class Action. YOU AND Sierra Agility AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER OR IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR PROCEEDING. Further, the arbitrator shall not consolidate any other person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a multi-party or class proceeding. If this specific provision is unenforceable in any way, then the entirety of this arbitration section shall be null and void. The arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief.
- Selection of Arbitrator(s). The Parties shall select an arbitrator under the applicable rules of AAA. If the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, they shall choose three (3) arbitrators who will jointly determine the Dispute.
- Finality of Award and Judgment. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon both Parties to this Agreement. Judgment upon any such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
- Confidentiality. The Parties agree to keep all evidence and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration confidential, except as may be necessary to compel enforcement of any award or judgment rendered by the arbitrator(s).
- Severance and Waiver of Rights. Suppose a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable. In that case, such provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The waiver by either Party of any breach or default hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
- Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations, and representations of any kind. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or assigned without the written consent of both Parties.
- Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed following the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its choice of law principles.
English version prevails
If these Terms of Service are translated into other languages, and there is a discrepancy between the two language versions, the English language version shall prevail to the extent that such discrepancy is the result of an error in translation.
