DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. We want you to be happy with the Company’s Services. If, for some reason, we cannot resolve any concern you may have with our Services to your satisfaction, you and the Company each agree to try to resolve those disputes in good faith after you provide written notice of the dispute as set forth below. If we cannot resolve the dispute, you and the Company agree that we will resolve the dispute through individual binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of courts of general jurisdiction.
Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action. Instead of suing in court, you and the Company agree to arbitrate all Disputes (as defined below) on an individual, non-representative, basis. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and the Company are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative action. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Instead, a neutral third-party arbitrator resolves Disputes in a less formal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and a court review of the arbitrator’s decision is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must follow the Terms of Use and can award damages and relief, including any attorneys’ fees authorized by law.
Opt-Out. If you do not want to arbitrate Disputes with Company as set forth herein and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to compliance@vida.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first access or use the Services.
“Disputes” include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies against each other in any way related to or arising out of our Services, these Terms of Use, or Acceptable Use Policy or our Privacy Policy, even if the claim arises after Services have terminated. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an authorized or unauthorized user of the Services bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) you bring against a third party that are based on, relate to, or arise out of in any way our Services or these Terms of Use; or (c) that the Company brings against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and the Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this agreement or out of a prior agreement with the Company; and/or (iii) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms of Use.
Dispute Notice and Dispute Resolution Period. Before initiating an arbitration or a small claims matter, you and the Company each agree to first provide to the other a written notice (“Notice of Dispute”), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute to the Company should be sent to compliance@vida.com.
The Company will provide a Notice of Dispute to you by email to the address provided in your user account.
The Company will provide you a designated representative to work with to try to resolve your Dispute to your satisfaction. You and the Company agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration or small claims action. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or small claims action.
Arbitration Terms, Process, Rules and Procedures. (1) Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the county where the Services were provided. The arbitration will be governed by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules about the filing, administration, discovery and arbitrator fees. The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rule to the contrary or any other provision in arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern the arbitration, we each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide.
(2) The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAA’s provisions—not state law—govern all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. However, nothing in this paragraph will require or allow you or the Company to arbitrate on a class-wide, representative or consolidated basis.
(3) 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. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
(4) We each are responsible for our respective costs, including counsel, experts, and witnesses. The Company will pay for any filing or case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.
(5) An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
(6) As an alternative to arbitration, we may resolve Disputes in small claims court in the county where Services were provided. In addition, this arbitration agreement does not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company on your behalf.
The arbitrator will write an award explaining the decision and the findings and conclusions supporting it.
No Trial By Jury And No Class Action. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUNTER-CLAIM OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, WE EACH AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION AND WE EACH UNCONDITIONALLY (1) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (2) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASS WIDE BASIS, INCLUDING JOINING A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING.
No Waiver. The failure of the Company to insist on or enforce strict performance of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver by the Company of any provision or any right it has to enforce these Terms of Use, nor will any course of conduct between the Company and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms of Use.
Severability. The provisions of these Terms of Use are severable.
