If you have a complaint, dispute, or controversy, you agree to first contact us by email at saas@remarksnow.com or by mail at Kanvas Real Estate, Inc., Attention: Legal, 188 King St., PH7 San Francisco, CA, 94107 to attempt to resolve the dispute or controversy informally. You and Remarks agree that we will resolve any disputes between us that cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within 120 days through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. You and Remarks hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below). All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and Remarks relating to these Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Agreement, any purchase you make from Remarks, any communications between you and Remarks (either directly or through a third party), and/or any aspect of our relationship with you (each a “Claim”), shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”). The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, chosen in accordance with the Rules of the AAA. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator in the English language in San Francisco, California, or telephonically. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, the Agreement, or this arbitration provision, and any other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms of Use. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether any dispute is arbitrable.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. In all other respects, the parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you or Remarks from seeking action by federal, state, or local government agencies. You and Remarks also have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In addition, you and Remarks retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for provisional relief, including preliminary injunctions, and any such request shall not be deemed incompatible with these Terms of Use, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms of Use.
The arbitrator shall follow the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended. In all other respects, the substantive law of the state of your residence shall apply, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
Neither you nor Remarks may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your or Remarks Now’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any Claim will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other claims.
If any claim or dispute is found by the arbitrator to be excluded from this arbitration agreement above, the parties agree that any such claim or dispute shall be exclusively brought in and decided by the state or federal courts located in San Francsico, California.
This Section of the Terms of Use will survive the termination of your relationship with Remarks.
30 DAY RIGHT TO OPT-OUT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT AND NOT BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION OF THESE TERMS OF USE BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT BY EMAILING US AT saas@remarksnow.com. THE NOTICE MUST BE SENT WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, OTHERWISE YOU SHALL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THOSE SECTIONS. IF YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, WE ALSO WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THEM.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF (LEAD OR OTHERWISE) OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES) AND MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.
22. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
