Arbitration Agreement. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE BOTH PARTIES TO AGREE TO RESOLVE SOME DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Both Parties agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to this TOS or the use of the Websites or Services (except as prohibited under applicable law) will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, or any dispute in which either Party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. To be clear: The phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between us before the Effective Date of this TOS.
Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA User Arbitration Rules, available here as of the date of this TOS, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the Parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this TOS. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the Party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the Parties or witnesses unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise.
Fees. As a general rule, Overlay Market shall be responsible for the fees involved in any arbitration process. Provided, however, that if you prevail, in whole or in part, in any arbitration proceeding, or receive any monetary award (for damages or otherwise) as a result of any arbitration proceeding, you and Overlay Market shall share in all fees incurred during the arbitration process (including attorney’s fees) equally.
Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under Law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this TOS. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon both Parties.
Waiver of Jury Trial. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between the Parties over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ALL CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the Party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither Party can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this TOS. Your notice must include your name and address, your business name, email address you used to set up your provision of the Websites or Services, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. You must e-mail your opt-out notice to this address: Overlay Market, LLC info@overlaymarket.com.
Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from any claim resulting from your use of the Website, and any claims you make that are not permitted under the terms of this TOS due to a “Limitation of Liability” or other provision. You also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any losses (including attorney fees) that result from any claims that you or someone using your password or accessing your account behaved in a way that allegedly violated any local, state, federal, or international law, or any of provision of this TOS.
Attorney Fees. If we file an action against you claiming you breached this TOS or any Law and we prevail, we’re entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and any damages or other relief we may be awarded.
Third Parties. We are not responsible for the behavior or accuracy of any advertisers, linked Websites, customers or Users, or other Users of the Websites.
Equitable Relief. If you breach any of your obligations under these Terms, then we may seek injunctive or other equitable relief.
Assignments. You may not assign any of your rights under this agreement to anyone else. We may assign our rights to any other individual or entity at any time, at our discretion.
