MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to (a) your use of, or activities in connection with, the Polly Technology; (b) Polly’s services provided pursuant to these Terms; and (c) Polly’s alleged violation of these Terms (“Claim”) shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration and any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction to enforce such judgment or award.
YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THESE TERMS AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM. YOU AND POLLY EACH EXPRESSLY DELEGATE TO THE ARBITRATOR THE AUTHORITY TO DETERMINE THE ARBITRABILITY OF ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING THE SCOPE, APPLICABILITY, VALIDITY, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a written request for arbitration to us at: Polly Insurance Agency, LLC, 2300 Saint George Road, Williston, Vermont 05495. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website, or by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879. In accordance with the AAA Rules, you must also send a copy of your written demand for arbitration to AAA when submitting your request to Polly. In the event that the AAA is unable or unwilling to initiate arbitration within fourteen (14) days of receiving a demand for arbitration, arbitration may be conducted by JAMS, Inc. (in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures) or by any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. You and Polly each agree that these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will not be governed by state law. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce these Terms as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Polly may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY GOVERNING LAW, THE PARTIES AND ANY OTHER PARTY CLAIMING RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS BY, THROUGH, OR UNDER THESE TERMS EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A CLAIM (AS DEFINED ABOVE). THE PARTIES UNCONDITIONALLY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE ADJUDICATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY NAMED. THERE WILL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE LITIGATED ON A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED, AND THE PARTIES ARE SPECIFICALLY BARRED FROM DOING SO. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO DISPUTES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (1) INITIAL CLAIMS, AMENDED CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, CROSSCLAIMS AND THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS; (2) CLAIMS BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, FRAUD, AND COMMON LAW; AND (3) CLAIMS BASED UPON STATUTES OR REGULATIONS, WHETHER FEDERAL OR STATE, IN THE EVENT OF ARBITRATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION BY THE PARTIES. THIS WAIVER WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THESE TERMS.
