  13. Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver.

    1. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim between you and Way Past Shelter (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), you and Way Past Sheler agree to first attempt to negotiate any Claim (except those Claims expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your personal home address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Way Past Shelter. Redfin’s address for such notices is: Way Past Shelter Legal Department,2255 Glades Road, Suite 324A, Boca Raton, FL 33431. If necessary to preserve a Claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or Way Past Shelter may initiate arbitration while engaging in the informal negotiations.

    2. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that this Section 14 is governed, in all respects, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Way Past Shelter agree to submit to mandatory binding arbitration any and all claims arising out of or related to the relationship between the parties, this Agreement and the termination thereof that may be compelled to arbitration under this Agreement as a matter of applicable law (collectively, “Claims”). Claims covered by this Section 14 include all claims under any federal, state, or local laws, except individual claims brought in small claims court as described below. Further, except as noted below, to the fullest extent permitted by law you and Way Past Shelter agree that no class, collective, aggregate, or representative actions can be asserted in arbitration or otherwise (“Class Action Waiver”). All Claims must be brought solely in your or Way Past Shelter’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, aggregated, or collective proceeding. SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES FURTHER WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AGGREGATE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PERTAINING TO ANY SUCH CLAIMS BETWEEN THEM. If the Class Action Waiver, or any other provision of this Section 14 requiring that Claims be brought only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, or representative basis, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular Claim, then that Claim shall not proceed in arbitration but rather will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction. If that happens, however, the arbitration provisions in this Section 14 will still be fully enforceable as to all other Claims, which must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis. Any arbitrable Claims will be resolved before non-arbitrable Claims, which the parties will jointly request to be stayed pending the conclusion of arbitration. Nothing in this Section 14 precludes any party from filing or participating in administrative proceedings before state or federal agencies to address alleged violations of law enforced by those agencies. Further, to the extent a party would have to file a timely administrative charge or complaint as a prerequisite to filing a claim in court, the party must do the same before submitting a claim to arbitration under this Agreement. Upon receipt of a right-to-sue letter or similar administrative determination, however, the claim can only be resolved in individual arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.This Section 14 also does not prevent any party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for any interim or provisional relief available under the law that is necessary to protect the rights of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal. This Section 15 further does not prevent any party from filing any claim that otherwise qualifies in small claims court on an individual basis.

    3. Equitable Remedies. Except for individual claims brought in small claims court, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by You or Way Past Shelter, and may award declaratory or 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 claim. To the extent that You or Way Past Shelter prevail on a claim in arbitration and seek injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public, the entitlement and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

    4. Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted through JAMS before a single neutral arbitrator mutually selected by the parties, or, if they cannot agree, pursuant to JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The arbitrator shall also have the sole and exclusive authority to determine the enforceability, interpretation, and implementation of this Agreement, as well as the arbitrability of disputes under this Agreement, except that the enforceability and interpretation of the Class Action Waiver shall be decided solely by a court of law having jurisdiction over the issue. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. Each party will pay the fees for his, her or its own attorneys, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. When initially filing an arbitration with JAMS you will be required to pay a $250 filing fee. If you cannot afford this fee, Way Past Shelter will reimburse you for it. A demand for arbitration must be in writing and delivered by hand or first-class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. Any demand for arbitration shall be provided to Way Past Shelter’s Legal Department,2255 Glades Road, Suite 324A, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Any demand for arbitration made by Way Past Shelter shall be provided to the last address on file with Way Past Shelter, if any. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration. In arbitration, the parties will attempt to agree on the procedural rules to be used to govern the arbitration proceeding to the extent such rules are not already set out in this Agreement, subject to approval by the arbitrator. If the parties cannot reach such an agreement, JAMS Rules shall apply. In all cases, the parties shall have the right to conduct adequate civil discovery, bring dispositive motions, and present witnesses and evidence as needed to present their cases and defenses, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, and any disputes in this regard shall be resolved by the arbitrator. In all cases, you may choose to have the arbitration proceeding conducted in Palm Beach County, Florida, or at another mutually agreed upon location, or entirely by phone. Within 30 days of the close of the arbitration hearing, any party will have the right to prepare, serve on the other party and file with the arbitrator a brief. The arbitrator may award any party any remedy to which that party is entitled under applicable law, but, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in his, her or its individual capacity in a court of law for the claims presented to and decided by the arbitrator, and no remedies that otherwise would be available to a party in his, her or its individual capacity in a court of law will be forfeited by virtue of this Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be permitted or required by law, as determined by the arbitrator, or as necessary to confirm or enforce the arbitrator’s award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enter a judgment upon the award made pursuant to the arbitration.

  14. Additional Legal Terms.

    1. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision.

    2. Notices. You may contact us via mail or courier at: Way Past Shelter, ATTN: Legal Department, 2255 Glades Road, Suite 324A, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA.

    4. No Waiver. Our failure to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to that breach or subsequent similar or other breaches.

We may freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under the Agreement, fully or partially without notice to you.
