19. Disputes and Arbitration
Legislature
The Terms listed in this document will be governed by the laws of the state of Minnesota. The only exemption to this condition is when U.S. federal law preempts Minnesota state law.
Arbitration Agreement
By agreeing to these Terms, Users agree that any dispute arising between them and GCRW will be resolved informally or through a small claims court. However, if a matter cannot be resolved through these means, it will be resolved through binding arbitration. The only exception to this will be when GCRW or the User is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court to resolve a dispute involving copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, logos, or intellectual property rights.
Notice of Arbitration and Opt-Out Clause
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you agree that you will not initiate or participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against GCRW. Any controversy, disagreement, or dispute that arises between you and any representative of GCRW will be resolved through individual arbitration and shall be binding and final.
You have the option to opt-out of this clause by providing GCRW a written notice within the first thirty (30) days of using any of our Products. In order to exercise this right, you need to send an email to as@resilientoption.com stating your desire to do so. If you do not send an email within the first thirty (30) days of using our product, you explicitly agree that you do not have the right to trial by jury or the ability to act as a plaintiff or member of a class action lawsuit against GCRW.
Rules of Arbitration
The arbitration will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). AAA will arbitrate in accordance with Consumer Arbitration Rules and Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA rules”). For more information about these rules, please visit the AAA website (www.adr.com) or call AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A neutral arbitrator will arbitrate the matter, which will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Mechanics of Arbitration
The AAA’s rules will govern the mechanics of the arbitration process. A written notice must be provided to initiate it. The arbitration will solely focus on the matter being disputed and cannot be combined with anything else. It will be performed by a licensed practitioner who is a part of AAA’s list of approved arbitrators. The arbitrator will have the authority to arbitrate a part of or the entire dispute. Both parties involved in the dispute need to finalize who the arbitrator will be within seven days of delivery of the Demand of Arbitration (which needs to be submitted by the party initiating arbitration as per AAA guidelines). Failure to do will result in AAA appointing an arbitrator. The decision made by the arbitrator will be final and binding. The arbitrator will provide a written explanation of the decision, which will include details of the arbitration award.
Location of Arbitration
If the arbitration claim is $10,000 or less, the proceeding will take place solely based on documents provided by both parties. Unless the arbitrator decides otherwise, neither party will be required to appear for an in-person meeting or telephonic hearing. If an in-person hearing is requested by the arbitrator, he or she will decide a place for the hearing that is convenient to all parties involved. If the claim is great than $10,000 the arbitrator will decide the most convenient path forward, which could include electronic exchange of information, a telephonic hearing, or an in-person hearing. The decision around the most appropriate medium of information exchange shall always be governed by AAA rules and guidelines.
Arbitration Fees
The AAA rules define what your portion of the AAA administrative fee and arbitration fee will be. The remaining amount will be paid by GCRW. However, if the arbitrator finds your claims to be frivolous (as measured in the standards set forth in the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), AAA rules will determine the fees that you need to pay.
20. General Terms and Conditions
GCRW reserves the right to transfer these Terms at any time to the extent it does not affect your rights under it. The User, however, does not have the right to transfer these terms at any point. The Terms listed in this document define the scope of the relationship between the User and GCRW. As such, they supersede any other agreement between the User and GCRW. Any exception, including waiver of these Terms needs to be provided by a legally authorized officer or representative of GCRW.
