11. Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH CIGNUL AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 11 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
- Scope of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of CIGNUL Services as a User of CIGNUL Services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding CIGNUL or CIGNUL Services, or to any aspect of your relationship with CIGNUL as a User of CIGNUL Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or CIGNUL may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH CIGNUL, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST CIGNUL IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
- Informal Resolution. You and CIGNUL agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and CIGNUL therefore agree that, before either you or CIGNUL demands arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this mutual Arbitration Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of its, his, or her intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 60 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify CIGNUL that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email CIGNUL.support@cignul.co providing your name, telephone number, email address, and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party’s claims. Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
- Arbitration Rules and Forum. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) in all respects. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to paragraph 11(b). If this notice is being sent to CIGNUL, it must be sent by email to CIGNUL at support@cignul.co. The arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Arbitration demands filed must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); and (4) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
- Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. All disputes regarding the payment of arbitrator or arbitration-organization fees including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment, shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and CIGNUL. Except as expressly agreed to in Section 11(g) of this Agreement, the arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and CIGNUL.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND CIGNUL WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and CIGNUL are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 11(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN SECTION 11(g) OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND CIGNUL AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(g). CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(g). If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor CIGNUL is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 15. This provision does not prevent you or CIGNUL from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
- Batch Arbitrations. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands against CIGNUL, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization, are submitted to an arbitration provider selected in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period, the arbitration provider shall (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and (ii) provide for resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator assigned per batch. You agree to cooperate in good faith with CIGNUL and the arbitration provider to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.
- Opt Out. CIGNUL updates to these User Terms do not provide a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement for Users who had previously agreed to a version of these User Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. CIGNUL will continue to honor the valid opt outs of Users who validly opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in a prior version of these Terms. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor CIGNUL can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify CIGNUL in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your CIGNUL username (if any), the email address you currently use to access your CIGNUL account (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: support@cignul.co. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.
- No Effect on Independent Contractor Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND CIGNUL RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES AS A CONTRACTOR. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, IF YOU ARE A CONTRACTOR, OPTING-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11 HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES COVERED BY YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH CIGNUL.
- Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with CIGNUL.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if CIGNUL makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to CIGNUL.
12. Litigation Class Action Waiver.
To the extent allowed by applicable law, separate and apart from the Mutual Arbitration Provision found in Section 11, User agrees that any proceeding to litigate in court any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether because User opted out of the Arbitration Provision or any other reason, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and User agrees not to seek to have any controversy, claim or dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which User acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity (“Litigation Class Action Waiver”). User further agrees that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all parties to any such proceeding. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or part of this Litigation Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
13. Consumer Terms of Service.
User agrees to comply with the Consumer Terms of Service which may be updated by CIGNUL from time to time.
14. Termination.
If you violate this Agreement, CIGNUL may respond based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the egregiousness of your actions and whether a pattern of harmful behavior exists. In addition, at its sole discretion, CIGNUL may modify, suspend or terminate your access to CIGNUL Services and/or your CIGNUL account, for any reason, with or without notice to you and without liability to you or any third party. In addition to suspending or terminating your access to CIGNUL Services and/or your CIGNUL account, CIGNUL reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, pursuing civil, criminal or injunctive redress. Even after your right to use CIGNUL Services and/or your CIGNUL account is terminated, this Agreement will remain enforceable against you. All provisions which by their nature should survive to give effect to those provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
15. General Provisions.
These Terms constitute an integrated agreement between the Parties, which supersedes all prior agreements and communications of the Parties, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The rights and obligations set forth in these Terms, which by their nature should, or by their express terms do, survive or extend beyond the termination or expiration of these Terms shall so survive and extend. This agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. User may not assign these Terms in whole or in part without CIGNUL prior written consent. CIGNUL may freely assign these Terms. These Terms are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, franchisors, franchisees, and permitted successors and assigns of each party, but shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any third party. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under the Parties' agreements must be in writing, and delivered by overnight courier to the User address held on record with CIGNUL (or any updated address properly noticed hereunder). CIGNUL address is 8458 Dynasty Dr. Boca Raton, FL 33433. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of these Terms, and these Terms will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained here.
