15. Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY AND YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY AND YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF UNDER THESE TERMS. IN PARTICULAR, THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP OUR RIGHTS TO BRING CERTAIN DISPUTES BEFORE A JURY OR RESOLVE CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT OR AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS PROCEEDING.

15.1. Binding Arbitration. For any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services or Content, or Products, except for disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents (each, a “Dispute”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, you and The Word For You Today agree (a) to waive your and The Word For You Today’s respective rights to have any and all Disputes resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and The Word For You Today’s respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and The Word For You Today agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration. Arbitration is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court.

15.2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions, or Representative Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and The Word For You Today agree that any Dispute is personal to you and The Word For You Today and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and The Word For You Today agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals.

15.3. Federal Arbitration Act. You and The Word For You Today agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 shall be both substantively and procedurally governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

15.4. Notice; Informal Dispute Resolution. You and The Word For You Today agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any Dispute or any small claims dispute within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute informally. Notice to The Word For You Today shall be sent by certified mail or courier to The Word For You Today, P.O. Box 5160, Alpharetta, GA 30023-5130.

15.5. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, and an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute or small claims dispute, and (c) the specific relief that you are seeking. Our notice to you will be sent to the address we have on file for you, and will include (x) our name, postal address, telephone number and an email address at which we can be contacted with respect to the Dispute or small claims dispute, (y) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the Dispute or small claims dispute, and (z) the specific relief that we are seeking. If you and The Word For You Today cannot agree how to resolve the Dispute or small claims dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or The Word For You Today may, as appropriate and in accordance with this Section 15, commence an arbitration proceeding or, to the extent specifically provided for in Section 15.1 (“Binding Arbitration” paragraph above), file a claim in court.

15.6. Process. You and The Word For You Today agree that any Dispute or small claims dispute must be commenced or filed by you or The Word For You Today within one (1) year of the date the Dispute or small claims dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you or The Word For You Today will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute or small claims dispute). You and The Word For You Today agree that (a) the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, (b) arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 15. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879), and (c) that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in the State of Georgia, Fulton County, have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award. You may also litigate a small claims dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the small claims dispute meets the requirements to be heard in that small claims court.

15.7. Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules referenced above, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of the scope of this arbitration agreement and whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15. To the extent there are any conflicts between the AAA Rules and these Terms, the Terms will control.

15.8. Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Section 15 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 15 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in this Section 15 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.

15.9. Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the Terms of this Section 15 by writing to: The Word For You Today, P.O. Box 5160, Alpharetta, GA 30023-5130. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 15.

16. Governing Law and Venue

You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the Sites, the Services, the purchase of Products, and the The Word For You Today Privacy Policy, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state and federal courts in Fulton County, Georgia, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue. Any Dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court pursuant to Section 15 must be brought within one (1) year after the Dispute arises, or the legal claim or cause of action arising from the Dispute is barred.

17. Miscellaneous Terms

17.1. Assignment. You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations provided under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

Except as otherwise agreed in writing by amendment, addendum or subsequent agreement, these Terms will be deemed the final and integrated agreement between you and us on the matters contained in these Terms.
