17. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES ARBITRATION OF CERTAIN DISPUTES WITH BETR AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH RELIEF CAN BE SOUGHT FROM BETR UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS SET FORTH BELOW. THIS SECTION PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST BETR, INCLUDING ANY ACTION PURSUANT TO ANY STATUTE THAT ALLOWS RECOVERY ON BEHALF OF, FOR THE BENEFIT OF, OR OF AMOUNTS LOST OR SPENT BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS (INCLUDING IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY). ALL ARBITRATIONS (AND LITIGATION, WHERE ALLOWED) SHALL PROCEED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
a. Binding Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial. All disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and Betr (including, for purpose of this Section, its affiliates) or your use of the Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator, instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you hereby agree that Betr and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted and you are expressly agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration shall be seated in New York, New York, and shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Any question about the arbitrability of any dispute shall be determined by the arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow these Terms and shall be final and binding. The arbitrator shall have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator.
You agree that, regardless of any law to the contrary, the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive, exemplary, or enhanced damages. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal or state agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
b. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Betr Holdings, Inc., 2900 NE 7th Ave, #4001, Miami, FL 33137. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Betr also will not be bound by them.
c. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE TERMS, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE -- OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
d. Resolution of Disputes on Individual Basis/Waiver of Class Relief. ALL ARBITRATIONS AND LITIGATION SHALL PROCEED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND BETR WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR ANY ACTION PURSUANT TO ANY STATUTE THAT ALLOWS RECOVERY ON BEHALF OF, FOR THE BENEFIT OF, OR OF AMOUNTS LOST OR SPENT BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS (INCLUDING IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY).
18. Force Majeure
