W) Terms and Conditions and Disputes
You and the Providers agree that all disputes and claims shall be settled by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, but is not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Service, the Software, the BATCHSHIP Ship website, these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and the Providers. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and the Providers are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration provision does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Providers on your behalf. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your account.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (˝Notice˝). The Notice to Batchship should be addressed to: Batchship ATTN: Legal Department, 6230 Irvine Blvd, #206, Irvine, CA 92620 (˝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˝). If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which either party is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, ˝AAA Rules˝) of the American Arbitration Association (˝AAA˝), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless the parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, Provider agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator,
through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of these Terms. Provider may make a written settlement offer any time before an arbitrator is selected.
YOU AND PROVIDER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your 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. 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.
V) General
You agree that conflicts of laws principles of such laws, the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) and its successors are excluded in their entirety from application to these Terms. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any arbitration proceeding resides in Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, you expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or dispute arising from the use of the Software or Service, if not settled via arbitration, resides in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. Neither these Terms nor any rights or obligations of you hereunder may be assigned by you in whole or in part without the prior written approval of the Provider. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. If any part of these Terms is for any reason found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, all other parts nevertheless remain valid, legal and enforceable. In lieu of the unenforceable provision, the parties agree that the court should attempt effect as much as possible the economic, legal, and business objectives as were intended by the unenforceable provision. Provider's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive their right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Provider shall not be liable for any delay in the performance hereunder due to causes beyond its control, including but not limited to an act of God, war or natural disaster. These Terms set forth the entire understanding and complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Provider and you and they supersede any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between the parties in relation to the subject matter of these Terms.
