THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA, ANALYTICAL RESULTS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14 WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

15.        Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

15.1         Generally.  You and Faraday agree that every dispute arising in connection with the Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of the Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT YOU AND FARADAY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

15.2         Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 15.1, the Parties agree that nothing in the Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either Party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; (d) to file suit in a court of law for breach by you of the payment provisions of  Section 3 ; or (e) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

15.3         Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Faraday will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Faraday.

15.4         Notice; Process. A Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or if we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Faraday’s address for Notice is: Faraday, Inc., 431 Pine St, Suite 113, Burlington, VT 05401. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). Both Parties agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if an agreement is not reached within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Faraday may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Faraday must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If a dispute between you and Faraday is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Faraday will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Faraday in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

15.5         Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Faraday will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Chittenden County, Vermont. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either Party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

15.6         No Class Actions. YOU AND FARADAY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Faraday agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.7         Enforceability. If Section 15.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void and, in that case, the Parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 18 will govern any action arising out of or related to the Agreement.

16.        Consent to Electronic Communications. You consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us, as further described in our Privacy Policy. Please read our Privacy Policy to learn more about your choices regarding our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically to the email address set forth on the signature page to the Order Form will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.

17.        Independent Contractors. The relationship of you and Faraday is that of independent contractors, and neither you nor Faraday is an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of the other.

18.        Governing Law and Jurisdiction.  The Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Vermont without regard to conflict of laws provisions. Subject to Section 15, the federal and state courts located in Vermont shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue to adjudicate any dispute arising out of the Agreement. Each Party hereto expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of Vermont and service of process being effected upon it by certified mail, return receipt requested, sent to the address set forth on the signature page of the Order Form.

19.        Attorneys’ Fees.  If any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party against the other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement, then the substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs from the substantially non-prevailing party.

20.        Limitation on Claims.  No action arising under or in connection with the Agreement may be brought by Client more than two (2) years after Client becomes aware of or should reasonably become aware of the occurrence of events giving rise to the cause of action.

21.        Force Majeure.  Any Party hereto will be excused from performing its obligations under the Agreement as a result of an act of God, war, utility or communication failures, or other causes beyond the Party’s reasonable control. Both Parties will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.

22.        Miscellaneous.  The Agreement represents the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Faraday regarding the subject matter thereof and supersedes and overrides all prior agreements on the same subject matter. The Agreement shall not be modified other than in accordance with the Terms and/or by a writing signed by you and Faraday. If there is any conflict between the Order Form, the Terms and the Statements of Work, then the terms of each document will take precedence in the following order: first, the Order Form; second, the Terms; and third, the Statements of Work. You may not assign or transfer the Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without Faraday’s prior written consent. The failure to require performance of any provision of the Agreement will not affect a Party’s right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by a Party of any breach or default of the Agreement, or any provision of the Agreement, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in the Agreement is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including via .pdf or similar electronic transmission), each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
