ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
You and Ruff Greens, Inc. agree that this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not by any state law concerning arbitration; and that any dispute (as defined below) between us, including disputes by either of us against any agent, employee, subsidiary, affiliate, predecessor in interest, successor, or assign of the other, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration, except for disputes arising from an alleged violation of intellectual property rights or breach of confidentiality, for which the injured party may suffer irreparable harm and may seek a restraining order, preliminary injunctive relief, an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief and/or legal remedies, and actions to enforce the decisions of the arbitrators, for which action may be taken in any court of competent jurisdiction.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes in front of one or more neutral persons, instead of having a trial in court in front of judge and/or jury. In this Arbitration Clause, “We” and “Us” mean Seller and/or Seller’s assignee (including, without limitation, Ruff Greens, Inc.) or their employees , assignees, or any third party providing any goods or services in connection with the origination, servicing and collection of amounts due under the Contract if such third party is named as a party between You and Us. “You” and “Your” means each Buyer named above.
Your Right to Reject: if you don’t want this Arbitration Clause to apply, you may reject it by mailing Us at PO Box 58, Allen, TX 70513, a written rejection notice that describes the Contract and tells Us that you are rejecting this Arbitration Clause. A rejection notices only effective if it is signed by all buyers, co-buyers and cosigners and the envelope that the rejection notice is sent in has a post mark of 30 days or less after the date of this contract. If you reject this Arbitration Clause, that will not affect any other provision of this contract or the status of your Contract. If you don’t reject this Arbitration Clause, it will be effective as of the date of this Contract.
A “Dispute” is any controversy or claim between You and Us arising out of or in any way related to this Contract, including, but not limited to, any default under this Contract, the collection of amounts due under this Contract, the purchase, sale, delivery, advertising for the product, or any product or service included in this Contract. “Dispute” shall have the broadest meaning possible, and includes contract claims, and claims based on tort, violations of laws, statutes, ordinances or regulations or any other legal or equitable theories. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Dispute” does not include any individual action brought by You in small claims court or Your state’s equivalent court, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. In addition, “dispute” does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Clause or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver described in the ninth paragraph of this Arbitration Clause; all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns that validity or enforceability of the Contract as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.
If a dispute raises, the complaining party shall give the other party written Dispute Notice and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Dispute. Any Dispute Notice to you will sent in writing to the address on this contract (or any updated address you subsequently provide to us). Any Dispute Notice to us must be sent by mail to: PO Box 58, Allen, TX 70513, (or any updated address we subsequently provide to you). Any Dispute Notice you sent must give your Account Number, telephone number and address. Any Dispute Notice must explain the nature of the Dispute and the relief that is demanded. The complaining party must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Dispute that the other party reasonably requests.
Either You or We may require any Dispute to be arbitrated and may do so before or after a lawsuit has been started over the Dispute or with respect to other Dispute or counterclaims brought later in the lawsuit. If You or We elect to arbitrate a Dispute, this Arbitration Clause applies. A Dispute shall be fully resolved by binding arbitration. Judgement on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. All statutes of limitation that otherwise would apply to an action brought in court will apply in arbitration. The arbitrator is authorized to award all the remedies permitted by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court, including without limitation, punitive damages (which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and attorney’s fees and costs.
If You or We elect to arbitrate a Dispute, neither You nor We will have the right to pursue that Dispute in court or have a jury resolve that dispute. In addition, if You or We elect to arbitrate a Dispute, (a) neither You nor We may participate in a class action in court or in a class wide arbitration, either as a plaintiff, defendant or class member; (b) neither You nor We may act as a private attorney general in court or in arbitration; (c) Disputes brought by or against You may not be joined or consolidated with Disputes brought by or against any other person; and (d) the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to conduct a class-wide arbitration, private attorneys, general arbitration or joined or consolidated arbitration (this sentence including subparts a through d hereof is referred to in this Arbitration Clause as the “Class Action Waiver”). In the event there is an agreement to arbitrate claims or disputes that conflict with this Arbitration Clause, whether such agreement is executed before, at the same time, or after this Arbitration Clause the terms of this Arbitration Clause shall control any and all Disputes between You and Us.
If any provision of this Arbitration Clause other than the Class Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act or any other applicable law, the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted, but shall not invalidate the rest of this Arbitration Clause, and shall not diminish the parties’ obligation to arbitrate Disputes subject to this Arbitration Clause. In the event that the Class Action Waiver is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then, subject to the right to appeal such a ruling, his entire Arbitration Clause (except for this sentence) shall be null and void.
Whoever first elects arbitration may choose to arbitrate under the rules and procedures of either JAMS or the American Arbitration Association; however in the event of a conflict between these rules and procedures and the provisions of this arbitration Clause, You and We agree that this Arbitration Clause governs for that specific conflict. You may obtain the rules and procedures, information on fees and costs (including waiver of the fees), and other materials, and may file a claim by contacting the organization of Your choice. The addresses and websites of the organizations are: JAMS, 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA, 92614, www.jamsadr.com; and American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New York, New York 10017-4605, www.adr.org. If neither JAMS nor the American Arbitration Association is able or willing to serve, and You and We can’t otherwise agree on a substitute administrator or arbitrator, then a court with appropriate jurisdiction shall appoint an arbitrator. We will consider any good faith request You make to Us pay the administrator’s or arbitrator’s filling, administrative, hearing and/or other fees if You cannot obtain a waiver of such fees from the administrator and We will not seek or accept reimbursement of any such fees. We will bear the expense of our attorneys, experts and witnesses, except where applicable law and this Contract allow Us to recover attorneys’ fees and/or court costs in a collection action We bring. You will bear the expense of Your attorneys, experts and witnesses if We prevail in an arbitration. However, in arbitration You commence, We will pay your fees if You prevail or if We must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Clause to be enforced. Also, We will bear any fees if applicable law requires Us to. The arbitrator may decide that an in-person hearing is unnecessary and that he or she can resolve the Dispute based on the papers submitted by You and Us and/or through a telephonic hearing. However, any arbitration hearing that You attend will take place at a location that is reasonably convenient to You. Notice of the time, date and location shall be provided to You and Us under the rules and procedures of the arbitration organization selected.
The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. 9 U.S.C.§§1 et. Seq.(“FAA”). However, if the amount of the Dispute exceeds $ 50,000 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $50,000, any party can appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator, which panel shall reconsider any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote. Reference in this Arbitration Clause to “the arbitrator” shall mean the panel of arbitrators in an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision has been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the section of this Arbitration Clause that describes who will bear the costs for the initial proceeding before a single arbitrator.
