16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights And Requires You To Arbitrate With EatStreet. This Section 16 Shall Be Referred To As The ?Arbitration Agreement.?
You agree that all claims or disputes arising out of the Agreement, relating in any way to your access or use of the Services or Sites, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding EatStreet or the Services, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Site or Services that you received as a User, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with EatStreet will be resolved and decided by an arbitrator through binding arbitration and not by a court, judge or jury, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; (2) you or EatStreet may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights; and (3) claims that are non-arbitrable per the applicable federal statute. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.
(a)Informal Resolution. You and EatStreet agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and EatStreet therefore agree that, before either you or EatStreet demands arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this mutual Arbitration Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of its, his, or her intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 60 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify EatStreet that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email informalresolution@eatstreet.com, providing your name, telephone number associated with your EatStreet account (if any), the email address associated with your EatStreet account and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party?s claims. Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
(b)Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (?FAA?) in all respects and evidences a transaction involving commerce. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to paragraph 16(a). If this notice is being sent to EatStreet, it must be sent by email to the counsel who represented EatStreet in the informal dispute resolution process, or if there was no such counsel then by mail to General Counsel, at 44 E Mifflin ST, STE 400, Madison, WI 53703. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (?AAA?), which are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator?s fees and the costs will be shared equally by the parties, unless prohibited by law. Parties are responsible for their own attorneys? fees. The arbitration proceeding will take place in Madison, Wisconsin, unless otherwise agreed. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. All disputes regarding the payment of arbitrator or arbitration-organization fees including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment, shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and EatStreet. Except as expressly agreed to in Section 16(d) of this Agreement, the arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum?s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator?s decision is final and binding on you and EatStreet. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enter judgment on the arbitrator?s decision and award.
(c)Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN SECTION 16(d) OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EATSTREET AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 16(d). CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 16(d). Regardless of anything herein and/or the applicable AAA Rules, the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of this Section 16(c) may only be determined by an arbitrator. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor EatStreet is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 24. This provision does not prevent you or EatStreet from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
(d)Batch Arbitrations. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands against EatStreet, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization, are submitted to an arbitration provider selected in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period, the arbitration provider shall (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and (ii) provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with EatStreet and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.
(e)Opt Out. EatStreet?s updates to these Terms and Conditions do not provide a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement for customers or Users who had previously agreed to a version of EatStreet?s Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. EatStreet will continue to honor the valid opt outs of customers or Users who validly opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in a prior version of the Terms. If you are a customer or User who creates an EatStreet account for the first time on or after January 1, 2021, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor EatStreet can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify EatStreet in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your EatStreet username (if any), the email address you currently use to access your EatStreet account (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: optout@eatstreet.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.
(f)Survival and Modification. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with EatStreet. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that if EatStreet makes any future material changes to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you have already provided notice of to EatStreet.
(g)Jury Waiver. You understand and agree that by accepting these Terms, you and EatStreet are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Section, we might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you would have if you went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
17. App Stores. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of EatStreet?s mobile applications (?Mobile Applications?) may be dependent on the third party from which you received the application?s license, e.g., the Apple iPhone or Android app stores (?App Store?). You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between you and EatStreet and not with the App Store and that EatStreet is responsible for the provision of Services as described in this Agreement including but not limited to (i) the Mobile Application(s), the content thereof, maintenance, support services and warranty therefor, and (ii) addressing any claims relating thereto including product liability claims, any claim that the Services fail to confirm to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation and intellectual property claims; and all such claims are governed solely by this Agreement and any law applicable to EatStreet as provider of the software. Your use of the Mobile Applications and Services must comply with the relevant App Store terms of service. If you are using the EatStreet Services on an Apple device, you acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple?s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary. If you are using the EatStreet services on a Google platform you acknowledge and agree that Google, and Google?s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Google will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary. Such rights may also accrue to other handset manufacturers and operating systems which participate in the EatStreet Services.
