The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California at a location selected by the arbitrator.

If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses only to the extent provided under applicable law.

BINDING ARBITRATION OF ALL DISPUTES; NO CLASS RELIEF

 

To the fullest extent permissible by law, with the exception of disputes pertaining to At-Bay’s intellectual property rights and certain statutory claims that, pursuant to law, are not arbitrable, any dispute of any kind between you and At-Bay arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in accordance with and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association, with such body also conducting any arbitration. Any arbitration shall be on an individual basis with no class relief. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or justice of any California state or federal court with substantial experience in the insurance industry and shall follow California substantive law in adjudicating the dispute. The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California at a location selected by the arbitrator.

 

Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND AT-BAY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

 

For any claim in which you seek USD $10,000.00 (ten thousand) or less, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person, by telephone, or instead the arbitrator may decide the dispute without a hearing. For those claims that the arbitrator determines are not frivolous, At-Bay shall pay the costs and fees of arbitration.

 

The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses only to the extent provided under applicable law.

 

AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.
