(a) Agreement to Arbitrate: This Section 12 is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Beatrice, whether arising out of or relating to this website or these Terms of Use, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, you and Beatrice are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
(b) Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief: You and Beatrice agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless you and Beatrice agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
(c) Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution: Beatrice Advisors is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most website users’ concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing Beatrice Advisors at contact@beatriceadvisors.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, 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 Beatrice should be sent to Beatrice Advisors, Attn: Legal Department, 52 Vanderbilt Ave Suit #1405, New York, NY, 10017, with a copy to contact@beatriceadvisors.com (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Beatrice and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Beatrice may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Beatrice or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Beatrice is entitled.
(d) Arbitration Procedures: Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, LLC, (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the JAMS Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Beatrice and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by JAMS. The right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS 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.
(e) Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the JAMS Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.
(f) Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including its existence, content and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
(g) Severability: If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
