DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT” OR THE “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY – IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.  ARBITRATION IS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO BRING SUIT IN COURT. THIS SECTION CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT RESOLVED BY AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION CONFERENCE (AS DEFINED AND DESCRIBED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) PURSUANT TO THE AAA ARBITRATION RULES, RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. 

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

8.         “Mass Arbitration” means 25 or more arbitration demands that: (i) are filed within 180 days of each other, (ii) allege similar or identical claims or causes of action, and (iii) either (a) the parties to those arbitration demands seek to simultaneously or collectively administer and/or arbitrate together, or (b) are filed by the same counsel or in coordination with each other.

B.   Notice of Dispute

Before the parties may commence arbitration of a dispute, we must provide a written a notice of dispute (“Notice of Dispute”) as follows:

1.      Customer Disputes.

For a dispute initiated by you, the Notice of Dispute must include the following information:  Your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your account (if applicable), a detailed description of the dispute, the specific relief you seek, and the grounds therefor.  The Notice of Dispute must be sent to: support@yeedi.com.  A Notice of Dispute shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Notice of Dispute by any other Customer.

2.      Yeedi Disputes.

For a dispute initiated by Yeedi, the Notice of Dispute must include the following information:  Your name, a detailed description of the dispute, the specific relief sought, and the grounds therefor.  The Notice of Dispute must be mailed to you by certified mail return receipt requested to the mailing address on file and, if available, also emailed to your e-mail address associated with your account.   A Notice of Dispute shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Notice of Dispute regarding any other Customer.

C.   Pre-Arbitration Informal Dispute Resolution Conference Requirements

Before we may commence arbitration of a dispute, we agree to meet and confer by telephone or by videoconference in a good faith effort to resolve informally the dispute (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”).  If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, but you must also personally participate in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference.

The party initiating the dispute agrees to provide a notice of intent to initiate the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice of Conference”) as follows:

1.      Customer Disputes.

For a dispute initiated by you, the Notice of Conference must include the following information: Your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one), the name, telephone number, mailing address, and e‐mail address of your counsel (if any), and whether you intend to have the conference by telephone or by videoconference. The Notice of Conference must be sent to: support@yeedi.com, ATTN: Notice of Conference.  A Notice of Conference shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Notice of Conference by any other Customer.  A Customer may, but is not required to, combine in one mailing a Notice of Dispute and a Notice of Conference.

2.      YEEDI Disputes.

For a dispute initiated by Yeedi, the Notice of Conference must include the following information:  Your name, a detailed description of the dispute, the specific relief sought, and whether the conference shall proceed by telephone or by videoconference.  The Notice of Conference must be mailed to you by certified mail return receipt requested to the mailing address on file and, if available, also emailed to your e-mail address associated with your account.  A Notice of Conference shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with a Notice of Conference regarding any other Customer.  Yeedi may, but is not required to, combine in one mailing and, if available, e-mail, a Notice of Dispute and a Notice of Conference.

Whether initiated by you or Yeedi, the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives the Notice of Conference, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Unless all parties agree in writing, the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that it may only pertain to you and you alone, and may not be combined with an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference regarding any other Customer.  This is so, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple Customers with similar disputes.

D.   Arbitration  

1.         Conditions Precedent.  The sending of a Notice of Dispute and the completion of an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference are conditions precedent to our respective right to commence arbitration.  Accordingly, if, but only if, we are unable to resolve a dispute within 30 days after the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is completed, we may commence arbitration pursuant to the procedures in this Agreement.  No arbitration may commence or proceed until the requirements set forth in Sections B and C (above) are fully satisfied.

2.         Fees.  Whoever files the arbitration pays the initial filing fee. If you have paid the initial filing fee and you prevail, we will reimburse you for that fee. If there is a hearing, we will pay any fees of the arbitrator and arbitration firm for the first day of that hearing. All other fees will be allocated as provided by the rules of the arbitration firm and applicable law. Notwithstanding Section 3(g) of this Arbitration Agreement, you will not be required to reimburse us for any arbitration filing, administrative, or hearing fees in an amount greater than what your court costs would have been if the claim had been resolved in a state court with jurisdiction. However, we will advance or reimburse your fee if the arbitration firm or arbitrator determines there is good reason requiring us to do so. Each party will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.

3.         Rules of Arbitration.

a.         The arbitration 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, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA.  If the AAA is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold their consent. If the parties cannot agree to a mutually agreeable arbitration organization, one shall be appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.  In all events, the AAA Rules shall govern the parties’ dispute.  The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1‑800-778-7879. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

b.         The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall follow the applicable law.  In this regard, the arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs an error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.

c.         Unless the parties agree in writing, any arbitration hearings will take place in San Mateo, CA.

d.         At either party’s election, arbitration of any dispute shall proceed pursuant to the Desk Arbitration rules of the AAA, unless both parties are represented by counsel.

e.         Prior to the appointment of a merits arbitrator, either party may request the appointment of a process arbitrator to determine: (i) whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section D(1) hereof have been satisfied; (ii) whether AAA’s filing requirements have been satisfied; (iii) the applicable arbitration agreement; (iv) the applicable AAA rules that apply; (v) the allocation of payment advances on administrative fees, arbitrator compensation, and/or expenses; (vi) any other issue agreed to be addressed by the process arbitrator; and (vii) any other issue regarding the administration of the arbitration.

f.          If the process arbitrator makes an initial determination that the dispute is frivolous or brought in bad faith, it shall allocate all AAA and arbitrator fees and expenses to the party who initiated the arbitration. If the merits arbitrator subsequently determines that the claims were not frivolous, Yeedi will reimburse any AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees that were paid by you.

g.         If the merits arbitrator finds that a dispute is frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), the prevailing party shall recover all fees paid to AAA and, at the arbitrator’s discretion, an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

4.         Class Action Waiver.

WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN OUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  Further, unless both all parties agree in writing otherwise (including, but not limited to, as set forth in the procedures below regarding Mass Arbitration), the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one Customer’s dispute, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

5.      Injunctive Relief.

The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual dispute.

6.      Stay of Non-Arbitrable Claims.

Any claims not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of the individual arbitration.
E.         Mass Arbitration
WE AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT MASS ARBITRATION IS ATTEMPTED OR SOUGHT, SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING RULES.

1.         In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving 250 arbitration demands or less, we agree the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 25 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch.

2.         In the event that Mass Arbitration is attempted or sought involving over 250 arbitration demands we agree that the arbitration provider shall: (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no less than 250 arbitration demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch.

3.         All Mass Arbitration shall be subject to all other substantive and procedural terms contained within this Agreement.

4.         We agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement the aforementioned protocol for Mass Arbitration with regard to resolution, fees, and administration.

5.         If any part of this Paragraph E related to Mass Arbitration is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be stricken, and the remainder of this Paragraph E and this Agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6.         If the arbitration provider is unwilling or unable to follow the procedures set forth in this Paragraph E with regard to Mass Arbitration, the parties may attempt to retain a different, mutually agreeable and widely-recognized arbitration organization that will agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Paragraph E.  In the event that the parties are unable to retain or agree to such an alternative arbitration provider, the alternative dispute resolution provisions set forth in this Agreement shall not apply to those disputes within the Mass Arbitration.

F.         Delegation Clause

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide including, but not limited to, (i) all issues regarding arbitrability, (ii) the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Agreement’s other terms and conditions, (iii) whether you or Yeedi, through litigation conduct or otherwise, waived the right to arbitrate, (iv) whether all or any part of the arbitration provision or Agreement is unenforceable, void or voidable including, but not limited to, on grounds of unconscionability, (v) any dispute regarding the payment of arbitration-related fees, (vi) any dispute related to the Notice of Dispute, Notice of Conference and/or Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, and (vii) any dispute related to Mass Arbitration.

Pursuant to this agreement, the arbitrator has been delegated with, and possesses, exclusive authority to resolve all of the above-enumerated types of disputes. However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, the court shall have the power to decide whether this agreement permits class or representative proceedings.

G.   Right To Elect To Proceed In Court for Small Claims and Intellectual Property Claims

1. In lieu of arbitration, either party may elect to proceed in Small Claims Court for any dispute that falls within the jurisdictional limits of that court.  In the event such election is made, the party that seeks to initiate arbitration shall commence their action in Small Claims Court and shall be responsible for the payment of any applicable filing fees.

2. In lieu of arbitration, either party may elect to proceed in Court for any dispute to seek to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event such election is made, the party that seeks to initiate arbitration shall commence their action in Court and shall be responsible for the payment of any applicable filing fees.

H.   Other Provisions

1.         This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

2.         We agree that, by entering into this Agreement, we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action to the maximum extent permitted by law.
