10. Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Individual Arbitration / Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. EXCEPT FOR A CLAIM THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND TWO CIRCLES AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY COVERED DISPUTE WITH THE PROCESS DESCRIBED BELOW IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT”), WHICH INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
A. Covered Disputes and Arbitration Requirement. Any and all disputes between you and Two Circles and/or University of Colorado Athletics arising from or relating to the Program or these Terms including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect on the date the claim was filed, available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity, including public injunctive relief, and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the above, you or Two Circles can bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional limitations of such court. B. Governing Law. For purposes of this section, these Terms and Covered Disputes will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (“FAA”). To the extent state law applies to any portion of a proceeding brought by you or Us, the applicable law will be the law of the State of Colorado. C. Fees and Costs. The AAA consumer rules will apply to determine the costs and expenses due from each party. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, you may be eligible for a waiver of fees under AAA’s rules. D. Mass Arbitration. If 25 or more demands for arbitration are filed within one calendar year relating to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law or fact, the AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and Consumer Mass Arbitration and Fee Schedule shall apply. However, if 1,000 or more mass arbitration demands are filed consistent with the requirements of this Dispute Resolution Agreement to individual arbitration, the relative advantages and efficiencies of arbitration may be lost. In that circumstance, you or we may elect to resolve the Covered Dispute by a putative class action filed in the state or federal courts encompassing University of Colorado. In that case, you and we agree not to object to the filing of a putative class action concerning the Covered Dispute, but do not waive any jurisdictional or other rights under the U.S. Constitution or Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including the right to contest class certification under Rule 23. E. Location. At your election, the arbitration will take place in the county in which you reside or, if you choose, by telephone, video conference, or based on the parties’ written submissions. F. Required Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced written notice, along with any supporting documents and information, of its intent to file for arbitration (“Notice of Dispute”). Two Circles will provide the Notice of Dispute by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with Two Circles and you must provide the Notice of Dispute by e-mail to help@buffspremier.com. The Notice of Dispute must be personally signed with wet ink or digital signature (e.g., DocuSign) by you or a responsible employee of Two Circles. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes and the statute of limitations will be tolled for 60-days from the date the Notice of Dispute is received . Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. This provision is a precondition to any arbitration demand, and any party making an arbitration demand must certify that it has complied in good faith with the requirement when filing an arbitration demand and AAA may not accept any demand without this certification. G. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. TWO CIRCLES AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY COVERED DISPUTE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE “MASS ARBITRATION” PROVISION DESCRIBED ABOVE). NEITHER TWO CIRCLES NOR YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE ANY COVERED DISPUTE AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY ACTION (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE “MASS ARBITRATION” PROVISION DESCRIBED ABOVE) AND THE ARBITRATOR(S) WILL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE “MASS ARBITRATION” PROVISION DESCRIBED ABOVE). If any provision of this Dispute Resolution Agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).
