Mandatory Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis

Any and all controversies, disputes, demand, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, counts, claim, or cause of action) (collectively “Actions“) between User and Authentifi or Authentifi’s employees, directors, officers, agents, successors, or assigns, shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration, except that User or Authentifi may take claims to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for hearing by such a court. In addition, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. In all such cases, any Actions must be commenced within one year after the cause of action arises.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration and arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. USER ACKNOWLEDGES, AGREES, AND UNDERSTANDS THAT, APART FROM THE NARROW EXCEPTIONS ABOVE, AUTHENTIFI AND USER EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO RECEIVE A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Authentifi and User each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to settle any dispute or claim arising out of, or relating to, for resolution of any matters related to interpretation, construction or enforcement, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Site, Privacy Policy, or otherwise related to or in connection with User’s access to and use of this Site and the materials, products and services available on or through this Site. To settle any dispute or claim, User must send a letter describing User’s claim to: Authentifi, Inc., 2020 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, #434, Washington, D.C. 20006.

If Authentifi and User cannot reach a written settlement agreement within thirty (30) days of User’s initially raising the controversy or claim (or within a time period as otherwise agreed to by both User and Site Authentifi and User shall submit any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, these Terms and Conditions to binding arbitration in Washington D.C. Arbitration shall be subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and shall be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and mediation Service (“JAMS”) under its rules. JAMS’ rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/ or by calling 1.800.352.5267. User may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

User and Authentifi must abide by these rules: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action and the arbitrator shall not award class-wide relief; (ii) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (iii) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation costs, and in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.

With the exception of subpart (i) in the paragraph above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subpart (i) in the paragraph above is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or U.S. federal court in Washington D.C.
