7.DISPUTERE SOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

ANY DISPUTE INVOLVING YOU AND MOTIVATE OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS SECTION.

 

“Dispute” shall be interpreted broadly and include any claim or controversy arising out of or relating in anyway to your relationship with Motivate or the Services, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and designees, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory.This includes(a) use of Motivate’s websites; (b) any service terms and conditions; and/or (c) any Services offered, sold, or distributed by Motivate including, but not limited to, the advertising of or the sales practices for such Services. Dispute shall also include all disputes that arose before your access or use of the Services and after the cancellation or termination of the Service, including any claims that are the subject of a purported class action litigation.

 

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TOMAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING,TO SETTLE DISPUTES.THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, LESS DISCOVERY, AND LIMITED APPELLATE REVIEW. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD.

 

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance withits Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. For more information, visit www.adr.org. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online.The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. If you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Motivate will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitiveas compared to the cost of litigation. Motivate may at its sole discretion assume responsibility for all the costs of the arbitration. Additionally, the following shall apply (a) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (b) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither party may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award;(c) the arbitrator may award any individual relie for individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and(d) each party pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.

 

YOU AND MOTIVATE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS APLAINT IF FOR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED,OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.THIS MEANS THAT YOU MAY NOT SURPORT TO ACTON

 

8. BEHALF OF A CLASS OR ANY OTHER PERSON. 

The arbitrator may award declaratory or in junctive 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. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the arbitration proceeding. Further, unless both you and Motivate 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. If a court determines that public injunctive relief may not be waived and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, then the parties agree that any claim for public injunctive relief shall be stayed depending arbitration of the remaining claims. If this specific paragraph is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution provision (except for the jury trial waiver) shall be null and void.

 

NOT WITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, ANY DISPUTE THAT FALLS WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL SCOPE AND AMOUNT OF AN APPROPRIATE SMALL CLAIMS COURT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. IN ADDITION, EITHER PARTY MAY ELECT TO BRING AN ACTION IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO SEEK TO ENJOININFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

 

If for any reason a claim may proceed in court rather than in arbitration, the parties agree to waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim would be decided by a judge, not ajury.

 

This dispute resolution section shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. It shall survive any termination or cancellation of your access or use of the Services. Any amendments to this dispute resolution section shall be prospective only and shall not affect any pending arbitration proceeding.
