BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST EQUOTE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION, AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. THIS WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION (INCLUDING BY MASS ARBITRATION) AGAINST EQUOTE, AND ALSO PRECLUDE YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR MASS ARBITRATION BROUGHT AGAINST EQUOTE BY SOMEONE ELSE.
If any dispute arises that cannot be resolved by contacting EQUOTE Customer Service, you and EQUOTE agree to have all disputes resolved by arbitration, which shall be final and binding on both parties, except disputes (i) that may be brought in an individual action in small claims court, or (ii) that relate to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. In addition, you and EQUOTE each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. In any such case, your waiver of the right to a jury trial and the class action waiver set forth in this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to apply.
"Dispute" includes any dispute, claim, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and EQUOTE concerning the Website or Terms, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and EQUOTE empower the Arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of the Terms are void or voidable.
CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS. BY ENTERING INTO THE TERMS, YOU AND EQUOTE EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. ADDITIONALLY, YOU AND EQUOTE AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE WITH THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND THAT THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTES TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, JOINT, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY MASS ARBITRATION) OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC, OTHER USERS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS. As such, you and EQUOTE acknowledge and agree that each waives any right to participation as a plaintiff or a class member in a class action litigation or arbitration (including mass arbitration), or in any other collective or consolidated action, with respect to these terms. Neither you nor EQUOTE may be a representative of any other potential claimants or class of potential claimants in any such dispute, nor may two or more users' disputes be consolidated or otherwise determined in one proceeding. This will also preclude you and EQUOTE from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, joint, collective, representative, or consolidated action or mass arbitration brought by someone else.
A. Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, and the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules and Demand for Arbitration form are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA"), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Florida.
B. Initiating Arbitration. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the proposed list of arbitrators by the AAA, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
C. Location and Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and EQUOTE submit to the Arbitrator, pursuant to the AAA's Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, unless you request a hearing and the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. Any in-person proceedings will take place in Massachusetts or in another jurisdiction to which you and EQUOTE agree in writing; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Florida, the AAA may hold an in-person hearing in the state where you reside.
D. Arbitrator's Decision. The Arbitrator will render a final and binding written award with a statement of reasons within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, but only in favor of the individual claimant, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. The Arbitrator shall not have authority to entertain any claim on behalf of a person who is not a named party, nor shall the Arbitrator have authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person who is not a named party. You and EQUOTE agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in St. John's County Florida in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
E. Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. EQUOTE will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $5,000 unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (based on the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Likewise, EQUOTE will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (based on the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The right to recover attorneys' fees and expenses set forth in the Terms supplements any right to attorneys' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. You may not, however, recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs.
F. Severability. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement, other than the class action waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable. The class action waiver is non-severable and if it is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the whole Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
