18. Mandatory Arbitration

Any “Dispute” between You and Prazo (Collectively, “Parties”) shall be resolved by a neutral, binding arbitration, and not by a court. This procedure applies to any dispute defined herein, the agreement to arbitrate or the arbitrability of any issue. The only matter that shall be determined by a court, if necessary, shall be the Parties’ waiver to bring or participate in a class action. This arbitration clause applies to the Parties, their respective employees or agents. Parties agree to submit all Disputes to arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth below and understand that:

DISPUTE: “Dispute” means any action, claim, or controversy of any kind arising out of, in connection with or related to the Parties’ transaction(s), relationship or conduct. “Dispute” included without limitation: claims under federal or state consumer protection laws, tort or contract, statutes or common law, at law or in equity, counterclaims, cross-claims, third party claims, or interpleaders.

FACTS ABOUT ARBITRATION: Arbitration is a private and less formal process in which a neutral arbitrator decides a dispute instead of a judge or jury. Each side has an opportunity to present some evidence to the arbitrator. A Party’s ability to discover things may be limited. Other rights Parties might have in court might not be available in arbitration. An arbitrator issues an award which a court may then enforce like a court judgment. Courts rarely overturn an arbitrator’s award.

RULES: To initiate arbitration, a party shall give written notice to the other(s) of any Dispute by certified mail, return receipt requested. The Notice shall state the nature and factual basis of the Dispute, the names and addresses of all other Parties, the amount in dispute and specific relief requested. The responding Party may answer and set forth any counterclaims. The arbitration will be conducted by one neutral impartial arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The arbitrator shall be any attorney or retired judgment. If the Parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, an arbitrator may be appointed by a court pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.). The arbitrator may conduct all necessary preliminary proceedings, provide for the exchange of information and/or discovery, and set the time, date and place of any hearing, after consultation with the Parties. The award shall be issued within 30 days after the hearing is completed.

STANDARDS AND LAW: The transaction(s) of the Parties involves interstate commerce and this arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1 through 16 (“FAA”). The arbitrator shallstrictly apply applicable substantive law and statutes of limitation consistent with the FAA and honor recognized claims of privilege.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER: The Parties agree to give up their rights to a trial by a jury.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: The Parties agree to give up any right to bring a class action lawsuit or class arbitration, or to participate in either as a claimant. The Parties agree to give up any right to consolidate or join any arbitration proceeding with the arbitration of others.

PUNITIVE DAMAGE WAIVER: The Parties waive any right to seek or recover punitive damages. No arbitrator shall have the power or authority to award punitive damages.

FEES AND COSTS: The parties will split all costs of arbitration on a 50%-50% basis. If a party fails to advance its portion of the arbitration costs or fees, any other party may advance those fees or costs without prejudice to the right to recoup the amount advanced as a prevailing party.

EXCEPTIONS: The Parties agree that this arbitration agreement is not applicable to “Small Claims” meaning those claims that can be filed in an appropriate small claims court.
