We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you shall not in any event settle any such claim or matter without our written consent.
Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, the terms “we,” “us” and “our” mean ExtraCredit, LLC and its affiliated companies, their predecessors, successors and assigns, and all of the respective officers, directors, employees and agents of any of the foregoing. These terms also mean any third party providing any product or service related to these Terms, our Sites or your account that you bring a claim against at the same time you bring a claim against us.
You agree that unless you reject this Arbitration Agreement, you and we may elect to have any and all claims arising from or relating to these Terms, our Sites, your account, any product or service provided to you by us, any marketing or advertising by us or the relationship between you and us resulting from any of the foregoing submitted to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This includes claims based on contract, tort, intentional tort, consumer rights, equity, statute, local ordinance or otherwise. This also includes data breach or privacy claims arising from or relating directly or indirectly to our disclosure of any non-public personal information about you. The term “claim” has the broadest reasonable meaning and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, and federal, state, local, and administrative claims, and claims which arose before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes regarding the validity, scope, coverage or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement or any part thereof or the arbitrability of any claim shall be determined by a court, not an arbitrator. However, disputes regarding the validity or enforceability of these Terms as a whole shall be determined by the arbitrator. Individual small claims court actions are not subject to this Arbitration Agreement as long as they remain in that court; however, if the dispute is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, the dispute will be subject to arbitration.
If arbitration is elected, a single arbitrator who is either a lawyer with at least ten years of experience or a retired judge shall decide all claims and shall render a final written decision. You may choose the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS to administer the arbitration. If neither of them can serve, a court with jurisdiction will select the arbitrator or administrator. The appropriate AAA or JAMS rules shall apply, as determined by the arbitrator. These rules are found at www.adr.org and www.jamsadr.com. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Agreement and the administrator’s rules or other provisions of these Terms, this Arbitration Agreement will govern. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive any termination of your access to our Sites, the termination or suspension of your account or any bankruptcy by you.
Each party to the arbitration shall pay his, her or its own costs of arbitration as specified by the relevant rules. If you cannot afford your arbitration costs, you may apply for a waiver under the relevant rules. We will always pay any costs we are required to pay by law or the administrator’s rules or that we must pay in order for this Arbitration Agreement to be enforced. The parties will bear their respective attorney, expert, and witness fees and costs, unless applicable law, these Terms or the administrator’s rules provide otherwise.
The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever substantive relief would be available in a court under applicable law or in equity on an individual claim, including, without limitation, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages (which will be governed by the constitutional standards applicable in judicial proceedings), declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief (but 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), and attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitrator shall apply applicable statutes of limitations and privilege rules that would apply in a court proceeding. The arbitration hearing will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside, or at another place mutually agreeable to the parties.
If a claim is arbitrated, the parties waive any right to a jury trial. They also waive any right to bring representative claims in court or in arbitration on behalf of a class of individuals, as a private attorney general or otherwise or to join or consolidate claims (the “class action waiver”).
This Arbitration Agreement may be severed or modified if necessary to render it enforceable, except that: (A) if the class action waiver is declared invalid in a proceeding between you and us, and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted, this entire Arbitration Agreement (other than this sentence) shall be null and void in such proceeding; and (B) if a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief and a court determines that the restrictions in the class action waiver or elsewhere in this Arbitration Agreement 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 seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court.
The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties, except for any appeal rights under the FAA, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Arbitration Agreement.
RIGHT TO REJECT ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: You may reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing a signed rejection notice to ExtraCredit, LLC 2450 W Robinson St, Norman, OK 73069, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date you first use our Sites. Any rejection notice must include your name, address, email address, and telephone number and a statement that you reject the Arbitration Agreement in the Terms and Conditions of Use. If you reject this Arbitration Agreement, that will not affect any other part of these Terms. Rejecting this Arbitration Agreement will not constitute a rejection of any other arbitration agreement between you and us.
Except as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Oklahoma without giving effect to any conflict of laws to the contrary. Sole and exclusive jurisdiction for any action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms shall be an appropriate state or federal court located in Oklahoma County in the State of Oklahoma.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and ExtraCredit with respect to our Sites and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to our Sites. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. Except as expressly set forth herein, in the event of a conflict between these Terms and any applicable terms to specific products or services that you receive from us, the terms of the specific product or service shall govern.
Except as set forth in the Arbitration Agreement, if any provision in these Terms change due to applicable law or is declared invalid by order of a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected, and these Terms will be interpreted as if the invalid provisions had not been placed in these Terms. The headings in these Terms are intended only to help organize these Terms.
You agree that we may from time to time amend all or any part of these Terms, including, without limitation, establishing, increasing, or decreasing the fees and charges for products and services made available through our Sites and changing the features and functionality to our Sites. If required by law, we will notify you electronically of any change to these Terms. Any such changes shall take effect as soon as they are posted on our Sites. Your use of our Sites after the effective date of the change shall constitute your agreement to be bound by the changes. You should review these Terms periodically for any changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not amend the Arbitration Agreement in a manner that adversely affects your rights or responsibilities in a material manner unless we give you a right to reject the amendment and/or the Arbitration Agreement in its entirety.
