15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- 15.1. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.
- 15.2. PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you or Olympusat will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceedings in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity.
- 15.3. In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and we agree that any legal or equitable claim arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or these TOU, and the formation, validity, enforceability, scope, or applicability of this TOU, including this Section 18 (referred to as a “Claim”) will be resolved as follows:
- 15.4. Informal Resolution. We will first try to resolve any Claim directly between us informally, meaning mutual agreement between us. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding (except for Claims described in Section 19 below) for at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing. You will send your notice to FREETV, c/o OLYMPUSAT, LLC., 477 S. Rosemary Avenue, Suite #306, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, and we will send our notice to your billing address.
- 15.5. Formal Resolution. Except as provided in Section 19, if we cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of us asserts is agreed will be resolved only by binding arbitration and not in courts of general jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “JAMS Rules”) and under the rules set forth in this TOU. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this TOU, the rules set forth in this TOU will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state’s law. If you decide to initiate arbitration, we agree to pay the arbitration initiation fee and any additional deposit required by JAMS to initiate your arbitration. We also agree to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding. Other fees, such as attorney’s fees and expenses of travel to the arbitration, will be paid in accordance with JAMS Rules. The arbitration will be held at a location in your hometown area unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. To start an arbitration, you or we must do the following things:
- 15.6. Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com.
- 15.6.1. Send one copy of the demand for arbitration to us.
16. SPECIAL RULES
- 16.1. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator has no authority to make errors of law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. Otherwise, the arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has jurisdiction.
- 16.2. Neither you nor we shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. Accordingly, you and we agree that the JAMS Class Action Procedures do not apply to our arbitration. A court may sever any portion of Section 10 that it finds to be unenforceable, except for the prohibition on class, representative and private attorney general arbitration.
- 16.3. Time to Bring A Claim: You agree to work with Olympusat to resolve any issue that may arise out of the use of this TOU promptly. However, if we cannot, you expressly agree to bring any claim within one year after the claim arises otherwise the claim is waived. This limitation applies regardless of which venue this claim is or could be otherwise asserted.
