Disputes and Mandatory Arbitration
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE. IT PROVIDES THAT YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO SETTLE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE THROUGH ARBITRATION, EVEN IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE A JURY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE DECISION, MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION OR MAY BE MORE LIMITED.
You may opt out of Mandatory Arbitration within the first 60 days of receiving a copy of this Agreement. Please contact our Customer Experience Center if you would like to opt out of Mandatory Arbitration. If you do not opt out within 60 days of receipt of this Agreement, then you accept Mandatory Arbitration. If you opt out, then you will not be required to arbitrate any claims. There is no penalty or other negative consequence if you do opt out.
General Arbitration Provisions: The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Agreement. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between us, regardless of whether based on the Services, the Product, this Agreement, any prior agreement or any other facts, and regardless of whether the legal theory is based on this Agreement, another common law theory, a statute or another ground (each, a "Claim"), will be settled by neutral arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), provided, however, that any Claim arising out of or related to, as applicable, the End User License Agreement, the Terms of Use, or the Customer Contract will be governed by the provisions of that agreement. Claims within the applicable small claims limit in your jurisdiction may be brought in small claims court rather than arbitration.
Time Period for Asserting a Claim: You and we agree that any Claim must be commenced within one year after the Claim arose. If a Claim is not commenced within such one-year period, then the Claim is and shall be permanently barred.
Governing Law, Forum Selection, and Applicable Procedure: Unless you and we agree otherwise, this Agreement and any Claim will be governed by the laws of the State of California (excluding its conflicts of laws rules), and the arbitration will take place in Santa Clara County, California. The AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer‐Related Disputes shall apply to the arbitration unless you and we agree otherwise. You can obtain procedures, rules and fee information from the AAA (www.ADR.org) or from us. Each of us may be required to exchange relevant evidence in advance. For claims of $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephonic hearing, or by an in‐person hearing. To initiate arbitration under this Agreement, contact the AAA, which will provide the necessary forms for you to submit. In the case of a conflict between any arbitration rules and this Agreement, this Agreement governs.
Arbitration Fees and Costs: In any arbitration between us, you will be responsible for paying your share of the arbitration fees up to the amount of any filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in the state or federal court closest to your billing address, and we will pay the remainder of the fees.
Class Action Waiver: YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS BASIS, EVEN IF AAA PROCEDURES OR RULES WOULD ALLOW IT. WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY OR COURT TRIAL. The arbitrator may award monetary 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. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL CLASS CLAIMS BE BROUGHT OR ADJUDICATED IN ARBITRATION.
Claim Notices: If you or we have a Claim against the other, before initiating, joining, or participating in any lawsuit, arbitration, or other legal proceeding, the complaining party shall give the other party: (1) a written notice of the Claim (referred to below as a "Claim Notice"), explaining in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts; and (2) a reasonable good faith opportunity (not less than 30 days) to resolve the claim without the necessity of a legal proceeding. Any Claim Notice directed to Whistle shall be sent to us at Whistle Labs, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 1355 Market St, 2nd Floor, 94103. Any Claim Notice directed to you shall be sent to your address appearing in our records or, if you advise us that you are represented by counsel, to your attorney at your attorney’s office. If you or we fail to comply with this Claim Notices provision before commencing a lawsuit, arbitration, or other legal proceeding, that failure shall be a complete defense to all claims asserted in such proceeding.
Use of Arbitration Award or Judgments in Subsequent Cases: An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and can’t be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.
Cure Provision: You and we intend for both of us to have the right to arbitrate disputes on an individual basis as set forth above. If a court finds any reason to invalidate or refuse to enforce this arbitration provision, the party aggrieved by that decision shall have the right to take unilateral action to eliminate the basis for the court’s decision, such as by waiving any right or remedy it has under this Agreement or agreeing to additional fee or cost shifting. This cure right may be exercised during briefing of a motion to compel arbitration, during oral argument, or in a renewed motion to compel arbitration. If a renewed motion is filed, you and we agree that the exercise of cure rights hereunder shall constitute new facts permitting such a renewed motion.
General
The failure of Whistle to exercise, in any respect, any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Whistle shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Whistle’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation (including “line-noise” interference). If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with Whistle’s prior written consent. Whistle may transfer, assign, or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without your consent. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties with respect to the Product and any other subject matter referenced in this Agreement, and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating thereto, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge the existence and validity of the End User License Agreement, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and the Customer Contract that, if applicable to your Product or Services, also apply to and govern the Product, those Services, and related matters as set forth therein and are additional contracts that you agree to and by which you are also bound. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Use, this Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter hereof. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Whistle in any respect whatsoever. Headings for each section have been included above for your convenience, but such headings do not have any legal meaning. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, you and Whistle agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under this Agreement. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; or two days after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service.
