Except as otherwise required under applicable law, you and UNBOARD IT agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between UNBOARD IT (and/or, if applicable, its Affiliates) and you individually.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND UNBOARD IT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“Class Action Waiver”).  Further, unless both you and UNBOARD IT otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Arbitration Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  In any case in which: (i) the Claim is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (ii) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, then those Claims shall be severed from any remaining Claims and may remain in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

 (c) Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration

In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party.  The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated and modified by the terms set forth in these Terms, and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org  or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules.  You and UNBOARD IT agree that the arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within 30 days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA.  Unless you and UNBOARD IT agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county in which you reside.  If AAA arbitration is unavailable in such county, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a AAA arbitration.  In lieu of in-person proceedings, the parties may mutually agree that the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing or video conference.

At the conclusion of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to the prevailing party, to the extent authorized by applicable law or the applicable AAA Rules.

(d) Exceptions to Arbitration

The Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims:

  • Small claims actions that are within the scope of small claims court jurisdiction and brought on an individual basis;
  • Applications for provisional remedies, preliminary injunctions, and temporary restraining orders relating to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and
  • Claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the FAA.

These Terms and Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from participating in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this Arbitration Agreement and do not prevent you from receiving an award for information provided to any government agencies.

(e) Severability

In addition to the severability provisions in subsections (b) and (c), in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the FAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

(f) Opt Out of Arbitration Agreement

You may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by notifying UNBOARD IT in writing within 30 days of your agreement to these Terms.  To opt out, you must send us a signed written notification that includes (a) your account username or  your name, (b) your address, (c) your telephone number, (d) your email address, and (e) a clear statement indicating that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement.  If UNBOARD IT makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject the change by sending UNBOARD IT written notice within 30 days of the change.  By timely rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Claim in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement, as modified by any changes that you did not reject.
