12. Dispute Resolution
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND INCENTIVIZE, WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED IN FINAL, BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT INCENTIVIZE AND YOU EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY AND THAT THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”) AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW, NOT STATE LAW, GOVERNS THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions, the Privacy Policy, or any contract between you and Incentivize, you agree to attempt to settle the dispute by engaging in good faith with us in a process of mediation before commencing any arbitration or court proceeding. You agree that you will not commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and Incentivize are unable to resolve the dispute within 60 days after we receive notice of your dispute and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with us during that time. If we are unable to resolve your claim within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or Incentivize may initiate an arbitration or small claims court proceeding.
The Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available by calling 1-800-778-7879 or at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_1.pdf), as amended by these terms. If AAA fails or declines to conduct the arbitration for any reason, we will mutually select a different arbitration administrator. If we cannot agree, a court will appoint a different arbitration administrator, but will not decide arbitrability or any other aspect of the parties’ dispute. The arbitrator may award any individual relief a court of law could, including temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief on an individual basis.
If a court or arbitrator finds in any action between you and Incentivize that any part of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim or dispute, then the arbitration agreement and class action waiver will not apply to that claim or dispute, but will still apply to any and all other claims or disputes that you or Incentivize may assert in that or any other action. If any other provision of this Dispute Resolution provision is found unenforceable, the other parts of it shall continue to apply.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL INCENTIVIZE, ITS LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE PLATFORM, ANY WEBSITES OR SERVICES LINKED TO OR FROM THE PLATFORM, ANY CONTENT ON THE PLATFORM OR ANY DATA OR INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE OR IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
IN NO EVENT WILL INCENTIVIZE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS EXCEED THE GREATER OF ANY COMPENSATION PAID BY YOU TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM OR TWENTY-FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($25.00).
