18     DISPUTE RESOLUTION; MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND HELLOJO AGREE TO ARBITRATE — RATHER THAN LITIGATE IN COURT — any and all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and HelloJo, including any parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents of HelloJo, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort) or other legal or equitable theory (“Dispute”) that arise out of or in any way relate to these Terms of Use, any of the services provided under these Terms of Use or any other services or products that HelloJo provides to you in connection with these Terms of Use (including but not limited to amounts that HelloJo charges you for services or products provided, any alleged breach related to the collection, retention or disclosure of your personal information, and any alleged violation of HelloJo’s Privacy Policy).  You and HelloJo also agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes that arise out of or relate in any way to any services or products provided to you by HelloJo or any of its affiliated entities under any other agreement.  Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you and HelloJo may bring appropriate Disputes against each other in small claims court, if the Dispute falls within the small claims court's jurisdiction.

18.1  Class Action Waiver.

You and HelloJo agree that all Disputes between you and HelloJo will be arbitrated individually, and that there will be no class, representative, or consolidated actions in arbitration.  If you or HelloJo brings a claim in small claims court, the class action waiver will apply, and neither of us can bring a claim on a class or representative basis.  Furthermore, neither you nor HelloJo may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts Disputes that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or HelloJo. We both agree that this class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and that if this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court or arbitrator then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 18 will not apply to any Dispute between you and HelloJo, except for the provisions of Section 18.6 waiving the right to jury trial. This class action waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.

18.2  Arbitrator Authority.

The arbitration between you and HelloJo will be binding.  In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury.  Instead, our disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by these Terms of Use. You and HelloJo agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to these Terms of Use. An arbitrator may award attorneys' fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so, and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the Applicable Law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with HelloJo .  Review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited.

18.3  Informal Dispute Resolution.

You and HelloJo agree that you will try to resolve disputes informally before resorting to arbitration.  If you have a dispute, first send a written description of your claim to HelloJo at info@hellojo.app so that HelloJo can attempt to resolve it with you.  If HelloJo does not satisfactorily resolve your claim within 30 calendar days of receiving written notice of your claim, then you may pursue the claim in arbitration.  Neither you nor HelloJo may initiate arbitration without first following the informal dispute resolution procedure provided in this paragraph and thereafter, if the dispute is still not resolved, the party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other written notice of the intent to file for arbitration.  If you are sending a written notice of your intent to file for arbitration to HelloJo , please send such notice via email to info@hellojo.app.  If HelloJo is sending you a written notice of our intent to file for arbitration, we will send it to the last known address of record we have on file for you, or the email address associated with your Account.

18.4  Arbitration Procedures.

You and HelloJo agree that this Agreement and the services HelloJo provides to you affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and not state arbitration laws applies for all Disputes. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), by an attorney that has been practicing law for 10 or more years and is located within 30 miles of the City of Atlanta, Georgia.  The AAA's rules are available on its website at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply.  If there is a conflict between the AAA's rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to HelloJo at info@hellojo.app.  You must also comply with the AAA's rules regarding initiation of arbitration.  The arbitration will be held in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area.  Each party will bear its own expenses in the arbitration and will share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award costs and fees to the prevailing party.  Arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties.  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or over the applicable party or its assets.

18.5  Jury Trial Waiver.

If for any reason this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, you and HelloJo expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that a Judge rather than a Jury will decide disputes between you and HelloJo if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.

18.6  Survival.

This dispute resolution provision survives the termination of your Services with HelloJo. If you bring a claim against HelloJo after termination of your Account that is based in whole or in part on events or omissions that occurred while you were a HelloJo customer, this dispute resolution provision shall apply.

19     MISCELLANEOUS

Any and all rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use are hereby reserved by HelloJo.

These Terms of Use and their performance shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to its conflicts of law principles. All disputes under this Agreement shall be resolved by the State or Superior Courts of Cobb County in the State of Georgia or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and hereby waives any jurisdictional or venue defenses otherwise available to it.

In no event shall HelloJo be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, pandemics, epidemics, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the HelloJo shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in its industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

You may not modify these Terms of Use.

These terms and conditions shall be deemed severable. If any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

Any Sections that by their nature should survive the termination of your Account or expiration of these Terms of Use, or which would reasonably be expected to be performed after the termination of your Account or expiration of these Terms of Use, shall survive and be enforceable after termination of your Account or expiration of these Terms of Use, including any licenses granted to HelloJo hereunder which shall survive in accordance with its terms, and the provisions relating to ownership, indemnification, limitations of liability and governing law.  

HelloJo does not waive any provision or right HelloJo fails to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use.  

Unless otherwise agreed to by you and HelloJo in writing, these Terms of Use and any other documents incorporated by reference (including hyperlinks) constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us with respect to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, and supersede any prior understandings or agreements (whether oral or written) regarding the subject matter.
