 Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

By accessing and/or using this Site, you agree to try to settle any dispute with FrankCrum arising from or related to your use or access of this Site by sending a letter describing the basis for the dispute and allowing FrankCrum at least 30 days to respond after FrankCrum will have received your letter. If you want to send such a letter to FrankCrum, send it to legal@frankcrum.com FrankCrum will respond to you at the address FrankCrum has on file for you.

The parties will cooperate and attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the construction, interpretation, performance, breach, termination, enforceability, or validity thereof, or arising out of or relating to your use of or access to the Site.

You and FrankCrum agree to attempt to resolve the dispute under the terms described in the preceding paragraph before you or FrankCrum will commence any litigation or file a claim against the other party.

By accessing and/or using this Site, you unconditionally agree that any dispute which cannot otherwise be resolved as provided above after the parties have negotiated the resolution of the dispute for at least fifteen (15) business days will be decided entirely by binding arbitration on an individual basis, which means you and FrankCrum waive the right for a judge or jury to decide such claims and means that you may not proceed in a class, collective, or consolidated capacity . Your rights and FrankCrum’s rights during the arbitration process may be more limited than the rights you or FrankCrum would have in civil trial or appellate courts. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

At the beginning of any arbitration process under this arbitration agreement, you and FrankCrum will need to select an arbitrator by mutual agreement. The arbitrator shall be a retired federal judge or judge of the state court of general jurisdiction, or another qualified and impartial person that you and FrankCrum decide upon. In the event you and FrankCrum cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator, FrankCrum will select an alternative dispute resolution provider and request from that provider a list of an odd number of potential arbitrators. From that list you and FrankCrum will alternatively strike arbitrators, with FrankCrum going first, until one arbitrator is left. That arbitrator shall be the arbitrator who will hear the case. If you and FrankCrum cannot agree on an alternative dispute resolution provider, an arbitrator will be appointed according to law. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the selected arbitrator’s or alternative dispute resolution provider’s applicable rules.

The arbitrator shall have the same authority as a state or federal court would have to issue subpoenas to third parties for production of documents and for depositions, in addition to subpoenas to appear at any arbitration hearing. In any arbitration proceeding under this agreement, all rules of pleading under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and all rights to resolution of the dispute by means of motions for summary judgment or judgment on the pleadings shall apply and be observed unless you and the Company agree otherwise. The arbitrator shall have the immunity of a judicial officer from civil liability when acting in the capacity of an arbitrator, which immunity supplements any other existing immunity. Likewise, all communications during or in connection with the arbitration proceedings shall be privileged. The arbitrator’s award(s) shall include the arbitrator’s written reasoned opinion. Resolution of all disputes shall be based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses pleaded, and the arbitrator may not invoke any basis (including but not limited to, notions of “just cause”) other than such controlling law.

We each agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective action basis. This arbitration agreement shall not be construed to allow or permit the consolidation or joinder of claims of other claimants, or to permit such claims to proceed as a class, representative, or collective action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action against the other. No arbitrator shall have the authority under this arbitration agreement to order any such class or collective action. Any dispute regarding the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, or concerning the arbitrability of a particular claim, shall be resolved by a court, not by the arbitrator. You agree to waive any substantive or procedural rights that you may have to bring or participate in an action brought on a class or collective basis.

The arbitral award will be final and binding. The parties waive any right to appeal the arbitral award, to the extent a right to appeal may be lawfully waived.

Each party will bear its own fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration, and its own legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, and costs of all experts and witnesses, provided, however, that the arbitrator may award arbitration costs, including legal, auditing, and other fees to the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding if the party prevails on a claim based on a statute or contract that provides for award of such attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party.

Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (a) to compel arbitration; (b) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (c) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or Confidential Information or to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights; or (d) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR AS PROVIDED IN THE ARBITRATOR’S OR ARBITRATION AGENCY’S APPLICABLE RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR FRANKCRUM WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
