THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY IF, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OR A DEPENDENT OF SUCH A MEMBER COVERED UNDER THE MILITARY LENDING ACT.
For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver (“ArbitrationAgreement”), the terms “we,” “us” and “our” means Mission Lane, Mission Lane Parties, or person or entity named as a co-Defendant in a Claim made by you related to these Terms.
This arbitration clause will govern all interactions with a Mission Lane Party (including any and all data exchanges and/or collections and the retention and use of such data) unless and until interactions and/or data becomes subject to a product- or service-specific agreement with a Mission Lane Party that includes an arbitration clause applicable to the same, at which point this arbitration clause will be superseded, but only to the extent of any redundant coverage.
Either you or we may agree to resolve our differences by binding Arbitration.
a. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: Maintaining healthy relationships is very important to us. If you have a problem with our Site, please let us know as soon as you can. Giving us a call helps to resolve the matter quickly. Regardless, except as stated below, any unresolved Claim will be resolved through final and binding arbitration as set forth in this section, subject to the opt out pursuant to section l. below. Either you, we, or any beneficiary of this Arbitration Agreement also may elect to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
b. Claim: A “Claim” under this section is any unresolved claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us whether past, present or future, arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or Site.A “Claim” includes disputes concerning the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement. “Claim” has the broadest possible meaning and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, and third-party claims whether based upon contract; tort; fraud; a constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law, and/or equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief); or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Claim does not include Public Injunctive Relief Requests or any individual actions brought in small claims court (or your state’s equivalent court, if any). If the aforementioned individual action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, it’ll be eligible for arbitration at either party’s request. The bringing and/or maintenance of any such action shall not be a waiver of rights of any party to compel arbitration of any other Claim subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
The Process
c. Notice of a Claim: Before starting a lawsuit or arbitration, the party electing to commence a proceeding must give the other party written notice of the Claim. The notice must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the party seeking arbitration; (2) reasonable detail of the Claim, including supporting facts; (3) the remedy sought and a good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, expressed in United States Dollars; and (4) the original signature of the party making a Claim. You must send the notice in writing to Mission Lane LLC, P.O. Box 105286, Atlanta, GA 30348, Attn: Legal - Arbitration Election. If we intend to make a Claim, we’ll notify you in writing at the most recent address we have for you in our files. The complaining party must give the other party a reasonable opportunity over the 30 days after notice is sent to resolve the Claim.
d. Commencing Arbitration: If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the Claim within 30 days after notice is sent, the complaining party may initiate arbitration by submitting a demand for arbitration to the Arbitration Administrator at the address listed in Section e. below, subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement and the arbitration company’s rules. If one party files or threatens a lawsuit, or files a counterclaim or motion to convert an individual action to a class action in an existing lawsuit, the other party may demand arbitration, including in a motion to compel arbitration. If the motion to compel arbitration is granted, the party prosecuting the Claim will be responsible to commence arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement and the arbitration administrator’s rules. If either party fails to submit to binding arbitration following a lawful demand, the party who fails to submit will bear all costs and expenses incurred by the party compelling arbitration.
e. Governing Law and Arbitration Administrator: This Arbitration Agreement is governed by theFederal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not by any state arbitration law. Each arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (the “Arbitration Administrator”), according to the rules in this Arbitration Agreement and the procedures of the AAA. The rules of this Arbitration Agreement will govern if there is any contradiction with the AAA procedures. A single arbitrator will be appointed. Requests for a copy of the AAA procedures, demands for arbitration, and any question about the AAA must be sent to: American Arbitration Association, 1633 Broadway 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019. You may also visit them online at www.adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable, and you and we can’t agree on a replacement, then you or we may ask a court with jurisdiction to select the substitute arbitration administrator. A single arbitrator will be appointed. All arbitrators must be practicing attorneys or retired judges and experienced and knowledgeable in the substantive laws applicable to the Claim.
f. Fees and Costs: If you can’t obtain a waiver of the AAA’s or arbitrator’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees, we’ll agree upon request to cover these fees up to one thousand five hundred dollars ($1500) unless the arbitration administrator decides that its rules or law require that our share of fees and costs be more. Requests for fee reimbursements should be sent to: Mission Lane LLC, P.O. Box 105286, Atlanta, GA 30348, Attn: Legal - Arbitration Election. Each party will bear the expense of its own attorneys, experts, and witnesses, regardless of which party prevails unless the arbitrator decides, based on applicable law, the rules of the AAA, or thisAgreement, that the prevailing party has a right to recover any of those fees or costs from the other party.
g. Arbitration Hearings and Decisions: Unless otherwise agreed by you and us, arbitration hearings will take place in a location that’s reasonably convenient for you. The arbitrator will follow applicable substantive law, except if contradicted by the FAA; follow applicable statutes of limitations; honor valid privilege Claims; issue a written decision; and, upon timely request of any party, write a brief explanation of the basis of the award.
The following provisions will apply to all arbitrations between the Parties under this Agreement: (1) timely filed offers of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or any state equivalent will be honored and require the party that declined to offer to pay the costs and fees of the filing party if the decision obtained is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer; (2) the arbitrator must apply state or federal substantive law applicable to the Claim(s) and may not be permitted to award any remedy that exceeds that which a court could award for the Claim(s); (3) a finding that a Claim or counterclaim is frivolous or intended to harass will entitle the other party to recover their attorney's fees, costs and expenses; (4) the arbitrator shall not be bound by prior, separate arbitration decisions; and (5) failure or forbearance to enforce this Arbitration Agreement at any particular time or in connection with any particular Claims won’t constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Either party may seek to enjoin the arbitration proceeding in court with jurisdiction and the arbitration will be automatically stayed pending the outcome of that proceeding.
The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that an award involves a cost or benefit to any party for more than $100,000 or involves injunctive relief, any party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel of the Arbitration Administrator, provided the appeal is filed within 30 days of the original award. The
panel may accept or reject any or all of the original award and any decision of the panel must be by majority vote. The appealing party must pay all costs unless the panel decides otherwise.
h. Jury Trial Waiver: YOU AND WE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF THE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DISPUTE ON CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US.
i. Public Injunctive Relief Requests: If you or we seek public injunctive relief as a remedy for any Claim (a “Public Injunctive Relief Request”) you and we agree that the Public Injunctive Relief Request cannot be arbitrated. Instead, that Public Injunctive Relief Request shall be adjudicated by a court after all other Claims to be decided in arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement are resolved in arbitration, including all causes of action pursuant to which a Public Injunctive Relief Request is made. You and we agree to jointly request that the court stay the Public Injunctive Relief Request until after the remaining Claims have been finally resolved in arbitration, and that the parties will only seek to lift the stay and request that the court resolve the Public Injunctive Relief Request if an arbitrator finds that one of them is liable for a Claim for which public injunctive relief is an available remedy. The validity, enforceability, and effect of this section shall be determined exclusively by a court, and not by any arbitration administrator or arbitrator.
j. Class Action Waiver: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF USE OR ANY OTHER DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL PROCEED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WILL NOT PROCEED AS PART OF A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION IN COURT OR ARBITRATION. If a court determines that section j’s limits on a particular Claim is not fully enforceable, then, only after all appeals have been unsuccessfully made, (1) that Claim will be severed from arbitration and must be brought in court and (2) this paragraph otherwise will remain in force.
k. Survival and Severability of Terms: This Arbitration Agreement shall survive: (1) termination or changes in the Terms of Use, or any relationship between you and us, as applicable. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement (except for the Class Action Waiver set forth above) is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Arbitration Agreement shall remain in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
l. RIGHT TO OPT OUT: You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by mailing a signed opt out notice to Mission Lane LLC, P.O. Box 105286, Atlanta, GA 30348, Attn: Arbitration Rejection Notice, Attn: Terms of Use Arbitration Rejection Notice, which is received at the noted address within sixty (60) calendar days of the date you accessed our Site. The opt out notice must include your name, address, email address, phone number, a statement of your rejection of this Arbitration Agreement, and your signature. Rejecting arbitration won’t affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement nor will it constitute rejection of any prior or future arbitration agreement between you and us regarding any other product and/or service.
The Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding conflicts of law provisions.
