Binding Arbitration of All Disputes; No Class Relief.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY, AS YOU ARE WAIVING

CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE WITH US AND ARE AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION IF YOU ARE A U.S. RESIDENT, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

  1. U.S. Residents:

    1. First — Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, dispute or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, including, without limitation, gift cards offered via the Service, any advertising or marketing

      communications regarding Folksalert or the Service, any products or services sold or distributed through the Service, the Material, your User Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, "Dispute"), or to

      any of Folksalert's actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an "Excluded Dispute", which includes those actions set forth in Section 7(F)), then you and we agree to engage in good-faith informal efforts to resolve a Dispute and Excluded Dispute by sending a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such

      information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 7(A). Your notice to us must be sent via email to: legal@Folksalert.tv. The written description included in your notice must be on an individual basis and provide at least the following information: your name; the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; and the relief sought. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Folksalert and you agree to negotiate in good faith about the dispute through an informal telephonic dispute resolution conference between you and

      Folksalert in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Folksalert to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Folksalert, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable. The informal telephonic dispute resolution conferences shall be

      individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party

      intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. If either party

      is represented by counsel, that party's counsel may participate in the informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, but the party also must appear at and participate in the conference. This informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. If you reside in the U.S. (and as applicable to U.S. residents), certain portions of this Section 7 are deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Folksalert agree that we intend that this Section 7 satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act (" FAA").

    2. Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 7(A)within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY DISPUTE ARISING BETWEEN YOU

      AND Folksalert (whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort—

      including, but not limited to, fraud, any other intentional tort or negligence,—common

      law, constitutional provision, respondeat superior, agency or any other legal or equitable theory), whether arising before or after the effective date of these Terms,, MUST BE

      RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. For U.S. residents, the FAA, not

      state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Folksalert and you

      regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Service, including the "No

      Class Action Matters" Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A

      JUDGE OR JURY. Folksalert and you agree, however, that the applicable state, federal or provincial law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Folksalert regarding these Terms and the Service, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction's choice of law principles. An

      Excluded Dispute will only be subject to binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 7 if the parties mutually agree.

      Any Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the

      then-current: (i) Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect since the matter involves a "consumer" agreement as defined by Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1; and if such

      Consumer Arbitration Rules do not apply then: (ii) the Commercial Arbitration

      Rules(collectively, "Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), except as modified herein, and the arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to set a hearing, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. ("JAMS") using JAMS' streamlined Arbitration

      Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of Folksalert consent to in writing.

    3. Arbitration Process. If after sixty (60) days the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 7(A) above is unsuccessful in resolving the parties' dispute, a party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a

      written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the Rules. (The AAA provides applicable forms for Demands for Arbitration available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Demand_for_Arbitration_0.pdf (Commercial Arbitration Rules) and https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf (Consumer Arbitration Rules), and a separate affidavit for waiver of fees for California residents only is available at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Waiver_of_Fees_CA_Only.pdf.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state or county in

      which you reside. The parties will first attempt to agree on an arbitrator. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within twenty-one (21) days of receiving the AAA's

      list of eligible neutrals, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the

      Rules. The arbitration may be conducted by telephone or based on written submissions, and if an in-person hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs (and please note that you will be responsible for a portion or percentage of such fees) in accordance with the requirements of the Rules; but if the Rules (or other applicable arbitration rules or laws) require Folksalert to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 7 to be enforceable, then Folksalert will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 7(D), the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the

      individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that

      party's individual claim. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis and to grant, on an

      individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual to the extent available under applicable law, the Rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator's award of damages and/or other relief must be consistent with the terms of the

      "Limitation of Liability" Section above as to the types and the amounts of damages or other relief for which a party may be held liable. If a claim is brought seeking public

      injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims will be arbitrated. In such a case, the court shall stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief be arbitrated. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. Attorneys' fees will be available to the prevailing party in the arbitration only if authorized under applicable substantive law governing the claims in the arbitration. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal

      Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), Folksalert will have the right to recover its attorneys' fees

      and expenses. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the

      Service. You can obtain AAA and JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: AAA: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org and JAMS: 800.352.5267 and http://www.jamsadr.com.

    4. Special Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Folksalert by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Folksalert shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to

      individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to

      individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This staged process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved.

      The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this Section 7(D) from the time of the first cases are selected for a bellwether process

      until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this Section 7(D) and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Folksalert.

    5. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

      APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT AN EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST

      COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES -- OR IT WILL BE

      FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section 7(A); (b) filing for arbitration as set forth in Section 7(B); or (c) filing an action in state, Federal or provincial court.

    6. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 7 will not apply to any legal action taken by Folksalert to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage)

      relating to the Service, any Material, your User Content and/or Folksalert's intellectual property rights (including any that Folksalert may claim are in dispute), Folksalert's operations, and/or Folksalert's products or services.

    7. No Class Action Matters. YOU AND Folksalert AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY,

      AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Except as expressly

      contemplated for mass arbitrations set forth in Section 7(D), Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other

      party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 7(B) to arbitrate will

      not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 7(H). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this "No Class Action Matters" section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

    8. Jurisdictional Issues. Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Los Angeles County, California. Accordingly, you and Folksalert

      consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

    9. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court on an individual basis for disputes and actions within the scope of such court's jurisdiction.

  2. Non-U.S. Residents: If you reside outside of the United States, any controversy, allegation, or claim (including any non-contractual claim) arises out of or relates to the Service or Terms, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Section 8II Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of

it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 8II. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Folksalert and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Section 8II Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Folksalert to resolve the Section 8II Dispute on terms which either you or Folksalert, in each of our sole discretion, are uncomfortable with.

Nothing in this Section will prevent a party from pursuing their claims in Court or another complaint process.
