14.  Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

14.1.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND GOVERNS HOW YOU AND DDC CAN BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS SECTION WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION, REQUIRE YOU AND DDC TO SUBMIT CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY CONCERNING ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY ARISE WHICH IS COVERED BY THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND ARE INSTEAD AGREEING TO SUBMIT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SOLELY ON YOUR OWN BEHALF TO AN IMPARTIAL ARBITRATOR.

14.2.  You and DDC mutually agree to forego the delay and expense of using a court of law and choose instead to benefit from the speedy, economical, and impartial dispute resolution procedure of using binding arbitration for any disputes that arise between You and DDC, its related and affiliated companies, and/or any current or former employee, officer, or director of DDC or any related or affiliated company as it relates to Your use of the Site and these Terms of Use. You and DDC agree that this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver (as defined below) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and will survive even after these Terms of Use terminate. Any revision to or termination of the Terms of Use that modify or terminate this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall not apply to a pending arbitration, to any claim that accrued prior to the modification or termination, or to any claim that the asserting party knew about prior to the modification or termination, except as may be required by applicable law.

14.3. To initiate arbitration, the party desiring to pursue a legal dispute must prepare a written demand setting forth the claim(s) and deliver the written demand within the applicable statute of limitations period by hand or first class mail to the representatives of the other party. You and DDC agree that the arbitration shall be administered by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then by a single arbitrator who is chosen by the AAA. Except to the extent that they are modified by the rules below, if You are an individual person, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time of the filing of the demand (and that are available at:
https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf) will apply.

14.4.   The parties agree that the applicable AAA rules are modified as follows:

  • Any arbitrator must be neutral as to all parties. Standards for the recusal of an arbitrator shall be the same standards under which trial judges are recused under California state law.

  • No party is entitled to its attorneys’ fees, except as may be awarded in a matter authorized by and consistent with applicable law.

  • All discovery shall be subject to any and all objections available under FRCP 26(b). Each party shall avoid broad or widespread collection, search, and production of documents, including electronically stored information. If a compelling need is demonstrated by the requesting party, the production shall: (i) be narrowly tailored in scope; (ii) only come from sources that are reasonably accessible without undue burden or cost; and (iii) be produced in a searchable format, if possible without undue burden or cost, and which is usable by the receiving party and convenient and economical for the producing party. Where the costs and burdens of the requested discovery outweigh its likely benefit, considering the needs of the case, the amount in controversy, and the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, the arbitrator shall deny such requests or order production on condition that the requesting party advance to the producing party the reasonable costs involved in making the production, subject to the allocation of costs in the final award.

  • The arbitrator shall have the authority to award the same damages and other relief that would have been available in court pursuant to the law governing the dispute(s).

  • Either party shall have the right to file motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment/adjudication.

  • The arbitrator shall have the authority to issue an award or partial award without conducting a hearing on the grounds that there is no claim on which relief can be granted or that there is no genuine issue of material fact to resolve at a hearing.

  • The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to all arbitration proceedings.

  • The arbitrator must issue a decision in writing, setting forth in summary form the reasons for the arbitrator’s determination and the legal basis therefor.

  • The arbitrator’s authority shall be limited to deciding the case submitted by the parties to the arbitration. Therefore, no decision by any arbitrator shall serve as precedent in other arbitrations except to preclude the same claim from being re-arbitrated between the same parties.

  • The parties may settle any dispute on a mutual basis without involvement of the arbitrator.

  • If You are instituting arbitration in Your capacity as an individual, You will pay the first $250, and DDC will pay all other filing, administrative, or hearing fees. If DDC initiates arbitration, DDC will pay all filing, administrative, and hearing fees. Regardless of which party initiates arbitration, You will remain responsible for Your attorneys’ fees and costs unless the law governing the Covered Claim provides for an award of attorneys’ fees and costs and the arbitrator determines as part of the arbitration award that You may recover a certain amount of attorneys’ fees and costs.

14.5.  Except as otherwise required under applicable law, You and DDC agree to arbitrate any disputes only on an individual basis and hereby waive any right to bring, participate in, or receive money or any other relief from any representative, class, or collective proceeding (“Class Action Waiver”).

14.6. No party may bring a claim on behalf of other individuals, and no arbitrator hearing any claim under these Terms of Use may: (i) without the consent of all parties, combine more than one individual’s claim or claims into a single case; (ii) order, require, participate in, or facilitate production of class-wide contact information or notification of others of potential claims; or (iii) arbitrate any form of a class, collective, or representative proceeding.

14.7. You agree that where an arbitration has already been initiated against DDC, You agree that You will not initiate an arbitration against DDC with substantially the same facts or legal theories of recovery. Further, You agree to abide by any final arbitration decision which follows an arbitration against DDC with substantially the same facts or legal theories of recovery.

15. Persons Not of Age of Majority. Persons who are not 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Site, and no information in relation to such persons should be included in a Submission.

16. Waiver and Severability. The failure of DDC to exercise or enforce any rights or provisions in these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any part or provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable, such part or provision may be modified to make the Terms of Use as modified, legal and enforceable. The rest of the Terms of Use will not be affected.

17. Contact Information. If You have any questions regarding these Terms of Use, please contact DDC at compliance@ddcsolutions.com. or:
