Disputes, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO BE REPRESENTED BY A LAWYER IN ARBITRATION OR PROCEED WITHOUT ONE. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 

Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or our privacy notice, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of either, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, shall be either determined by binding arbitration in Cook County, Illinois before one arbitrator or submitted to small claims court in Cook County, Illinois. If the arbitrator finds this location to be unreasonably burdensome to you, a new location may be selected or arbitration may be conducted over the phone, using video conferencing, or similar. You may be entitled to an in-person hearing near your place of residence. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of these Terms, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.

 

No Class Actions. YOU AND THE ADVISER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR THE ADVISER’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Adviser agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. 

Seeking Arbitration. If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send to the Adviser, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to the Adviser must be addressed to: Red Arts Capital, 200 W. Madison Street, Suite 3840, Chicago, IL, 60606. If the Adviser initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to an email address you have previously provided to the Adviser, if available. The Adviser may also use any other means to contact you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by the Adviser, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and the Adviser do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Adviser may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. Arbitration forms can be downloaded from www.jamsadr.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive Notice that you have commenced arbitration, the Adviser will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000 or the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.

Hearing. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, the Adviser agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules. In the event that the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of submitted documents, the arbitrator’s decision and award will be made and delivered within six (6) months of the selection of the arbitrator, unless extended by the arbitrator. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.

Award. In the event arbitration awards you damages of an amount at least $100 greater than the Adviser’s last documented settlement offer, the Adviser will pay your awarded damages or $2,500, whichever is greater.

Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Adviser both agree that you or the Adviser may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or in other scenarios where injunctive relief is appropriate. In the event a court or arbitrator having jurisdiction finds any portion of these Terms unenforceable, that portion shall not be effective, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain effective. No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under these Terms will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

g. Confidentiality. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

e. Governing Law and Rules. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs. 1-16). In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrator may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits. The parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of these Terms) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms.

No Assignment.  These Terms, and any rights or obligations under these Terms, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with the Adviser’s prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by the Adviser without restriction.  Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void.

Beneficiaries.  Nothing in these Terms is intended to, nor will be deemed to, confer rights or remedies upon any third party, with the exception of Indemnified Parties for the purposes expressed in the Indemnification section above.

Amendments; Waivers.  The Adviser may modify these Terms. These Terms may not be modified, amended, terminated or waived, in whole or in part, by you except by a written instrument signed by the Adviser.  Except as expressly set forth herein, any failure of a party to take action in response to any breach of these Terms by the other party shall not constitute a waiver of such breach or of performance required by the other party; and no waiver of any provision of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided therein.

Force Majeure.  Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under these Terms on account of any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party’s reasonable control, so long as such party uses all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance or delay.

Notices.  To send notices to the Adviser, or if you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact the Adviser at info@redartscapital.com.  The Investor may provide you with notices, including notices of changes to these Terms, by electronic mail, regular mail or other communications.

Entire Agreement.  These Terms contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous representations, promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof. You may from time to time enter into binding legal agreements relating to certain services available through the Website, which may have terms that are different from those of these Terms.  In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of such other agreement shall control with respect to such services.

 

Severability.  If any provision of these Terms is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision were not included.
