This Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”), which governs all matters arising under or related to these Terms and the Privacy Policy, excluding any matters relating to copyright, trademark, or patent, is a condition of the Terms and Privacy Policy.
General Dispute Resolution: Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us directly. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a legitimate legal complaint, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, generally allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that any award available under arbitration is subject to the limitations in these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MEANS THAT YOU AND Enlightapp ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
We want to address your concerns without a formal arbitration or case. So before filing a claim against us, you agree to make a good faith effort to try to resolve the dispute informally with us by contacting support@enlightapp.co (“Dispute Notice”) and responding promptly to any related communications. Your Notice to us must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought and the specific applicable legal basis for the requested relief (“Demand”). We will try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email at the address from which you send the Dispute Notice email or the email address that you used to register or create your account. If a dispute is not resolved within 45 days of your sending us the Notice, you or Enlightapp may bring a formal arbitration proceeding pursuant to the information below.
If you reside in the United States or are otherwise subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between us, except as set forth below (“Exceptions”), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures applicable at that time, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (to the extent applicable), as modified by our Arbitration Agreement. For disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply. You may review those rules and procedures, and obtain a form for initiating arbitration proceedings, at the AAA’s website. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting us.
The arbitration shall be held in Austin, Texas or at another mutually agreed location. If the reasonable value of the relief sought is U.S. $10,000 or less, either of us may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on us subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration.
If our good faith negotiations are not successful and you decide to file a formal arbitration proceeding, you must use the address of Enlightapp’s registered agent.
All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, including recognized principles of equity and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different participants or users of the Website or Services but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties, except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be conducted in English.
If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after the date that you agree to the Terms by sending a letter to the registered office address of Enlightapp or an email to support@enlightapp.co that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“OptOut Notice”). Once we receive your Opt-Out Notice, this Arbitration Agreement will be void and any action arising out of the Terms or Privacy Policy will be resolved under the governing law and jurisdiction set forth in the Terms and Privacy Policy. The remaining provisions of the Terms and the Privacy Policy will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
We promise that your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Provision will not negatively affect your relationship with us. But we do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline, so keep in mind that any opt-out request received after the 30-day deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
The AAA rules will govern the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, unless our Arbitration Agreement expressly provides otherwise. If the amount of any claim in an arbitration is U.S. $10,000 or less, we will pay all arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, so long as: (a) you make a written request for such payment of fees and submit it to the AAA with your Demand for Arbitration; and (b) your claim is not determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or without merit under Enlightapp’s Terms /Privacy Policy or otherwise (“Frivolous Claims”). In such case, we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA.
If the amount of the claim exceeds U.S. $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are Frivolous Claims, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us. Our obligations to pay these fees shall be made after a preliminary determination that the claims are not barred or limited by this Agreement (meaning, the Terms and the Privacy Policy). Claims that are barred, either by time or other provisions under the Terms, or limited claims, constitute Frivolous Claims.
In addition to any fees and costs you may be entitled to receive under applicable law, if you send us notice and negotiate in good faith as provided in the section above and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator decide that we are the prevailing party, we retain the option to seek our reasonable attorneys’ fee and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall decide all issues, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement.
The arbitrator shall decide all issues, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement.
The AAA website has resources available for anyone seeking to proceed without legal counsel (“pro se”) at https://www.adr.org/pro-se.
YOU AND WE AGREE AS PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. WE REFER TO THIS AS THE “PROHIBITION OF CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS.” UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN YOUR OR OUR CLAIM WITH ANOTHER PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER REGISTERED USERS OR VISITORS.
Except with respect to the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions, if a court decides that any part of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to apply. If a court decides that the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
If we make any future change to this Arbitration Agreement, other than a change to our Notice Address, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Notice Address. The Arbitration Agreement in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary or the applicable dispute resolution process, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or related to use of the Services or otherwise under these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action rose or you agree to be forever barred from bringing such claims.
This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us and supersedes all earlier and simultaneous agreements or communications regarding the subject matter. This provision does not negate or nullify any signed confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement that may exist between you and Enlightapp for Enlightapp Services.
All claims regarding this Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of Texas and the United States, applicable to contracts wholly made and performed in such jurisdiction, except for any choice or conflict of law principles, and must be litigated in Austin, Texas regardless of the inconvenience of the forum, except that we may seek temporary injunctive relief in any venue of our choosing. For any dispute that is not subject to the Arbitration Agreement you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in Austin, Texas and agree to waive any challenge to lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue. You and we acknowledge and agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.
Our failure to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement is not a waiver of any of our rights under this Agreement. All of our remedies under this Agreement, at Law or in equity, are cumulative and nonexclusive.
If any portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion must be construed as nearly as possible to reflect our original intent, the remaining portions remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable portion remains enforceable in all other contexts and jurisdictions.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent, which may be withheld at our sole discretion. We may freely assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise.
All captions are for purposes of convenience only and are not to be used in the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement.
