The arbitration shall be binding, final and confidential. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT HE/SHE/IT IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS THE MEMBER OF A CLASS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING.
- Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator under the then-current American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”), as supplemented by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence if and where applicable as a gap-filler. If there is any conflict between a provision of the AAA Rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, or these Terms of Use, then the provisions of these Terms of Use shall control and govern over the AAA Rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence; and the AAA Rules shall control and govern over the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence. The construction, interpretation, and enforcement of this section 18 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.
- Arbitration Process, Location, and Procedures. The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding shall serve a written notice of arbitration on the other Party in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration shall be held in Kansas City, MO, United States of America. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the AAA Rules, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties to the arbitration. All issues or questions concerning either the scope of this arbitration clause or the arbitrability of any of the Disputes shall be referred to and finally decided by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may construe or interpret, but shall not vary or ignore, the terms and conditions of these Terms and shall be bound by applicable law.
- Arbitration Decisions and Awards. The arbitrator shall render a written final decision on the subject Dispute as soon as practicable and in any event not more than forty-five (45) days after the close of evidence and briefing. The arbitrator’s decision shall be written, shall be in accordance with applicable law, and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law setting forth the basis for his/her decision. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, unless such an award is authorized by applicable law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys fees and expenses if such an award is permitted under these Terms of Use or applicable law. Subject to any applicable rights of appeal, the final decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon all of the Parties who have been served with proper written notice of the arbitration proceeding as required by this Section 18. Judgment on any award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed in any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof that is located in the State of Missouri and may be entered in and enforced by any domestic, foreign, or international court having appropriate subject matter jurisdiction. Any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitrator and any information disclosed in the course of any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential by the Parties, and any court order to enforce the decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitrator shall be filed under seal.
- Arbitration Fees and Expenses. JAG’s administrative and filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees and expenses and all other fees and expenses charged by JAG and/or the arbitrator to administer or conduct the arbitration shall be shared equally among all parties to the arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party of the arbitration may recover an award of its share of such fees and expenses if such an award is permitted under these Terms of Use or applicable law.
- Litigation; Waiver. In the event a particular Dispute is not subject to arbitration (whether by decision of an arbitrator with binding authority, or otherwise according to these Terms or applicable law), each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of the State of Missouri in Jackson County, Missouri, United States of America and the United States federal courts in the Western District of Missouri, for the litigation of said Dispute, and covenant and agree that neither of the foregoing is an inconvenient venue or forum.
- Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action.
