25. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND ECOATM TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND ECOATM FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND ECOATM AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ECOATM AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY PARTY'S CLAIMS. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW, IN SECTION 25(K), IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
(a) Claims This Section Applies To. The dispute resolution and binding arbitration terms in this Section 25 apply to all Claims between you and ecoATM. A “Claim” is any dispute, claim, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed below) between you and ecoATM, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, that either party wishes to seek legal recourse for and that arises from or relates to this Agreement or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims or claims related to the validity, enforceability, or scope of the arbitration requirement or any portion of it.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Arbitration. If you have a Claim against ecoATM or if ecoATM has a Claim against you, you and ecoATM will first attempt to resolve the Claim informally in order to try and resolve the Claim faster and reduce costs for both parties. You and ecoATM will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the resolution of any Claim for 30 days, or such longer period as mutually agreed in writing (email suffices) by the parties, (“Informal Resolution Period”) from the day either party receives a written notice of a dispute from the other party (a “Claimant Notice”) in accordance with this Agreement.
You will send any Claimant Notice to ecoATM by certified mail addressed to ecoATM, LLC, Attn: Deputy General Counsel, 10121 Barnes Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92121 or by email to ecoATMlegal@ecoatm.com. ecoATM will send any Claimant Notice to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to ecoATM. The Claimant Notice sent by either party must (i) include the sender’s name, address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.
The Informal Resolution Period is designed to allow the party who has received a Claimant Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. You or ecoATM cannot proceed to arbitration before the end of the Informal Resolution Period. If you or ecoATM file a Claim in court or proceed to arbitration without complying with the requirements in Section 25, including waiting until the conclusion of the Informal Resolution Period, the other party reserves the right to seek relief from a court to enjoin the filing and seek damages from the party that has not followed the requirements in this Section to reimburse it for any arbitration fees and costs already incurred as a foreseeable consequence of that breach.
The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines for a Claim will be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Period for that Claim so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
(c) Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions. Except for individual disputes that qualify for small claims court (provided that the small-claims court does not permit class or similar representative actions or relief) and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or ecoATM, including any disputes in which you or ecoATM seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or ecoATM’s intellectual property or other infringement of your or ecoATM’s intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”), all Claims, including Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 25(b) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.
(d) Binding Individual Arbitration. Subject to the terms of this section, Claims may only be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), https://namadr.com, according to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., (“FAA”) and according to NAM’s Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the Claim arose (the “Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. If NAM notifies the parties in writing (email suffices) that it is not available to arbitrate any Claim, then that Claim may only be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), https://www.adr.org. For Claims that must be arbitrated by AAA, if you are a “Consumer,” meaning that you only use the Services for personal, family or household purposes, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules are the Rules applicable to Claims between you and ecoATM as modified by this Agreement. For Claims that must be arbitrated by AAA, if you are not a Consumer, the then-current version of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures are the Rules applicable to Claims between you and ecoATM as modified by this Agreement. This Agreement affects interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 25 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the FAA to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement, and the Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Claim and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are individual to you or ecoATM to satisfy one of our individual Claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence).
(e) Arbitration Procedure and Location. You or ecoATM may initiate arbitration of any Claim not resolved during the Informal Resolution Period by filing a demand for arbitration with NAM in accordance with the Rules (or with AAA in accordance with the Rules if applicable pursuant to Section 25(d)).
Instructions for filing a demand for arbitration with NAM are available on the NAM website or by calling NAM at 800-358-2550, and instructions for filing a demand for arbitration with AAA are available on the AAA website or by calling AAA at 800-778-7879. You will send a copy of any demand for arbitration to ecoATM by certified mail addressed to ecoATM, LLC, Attn: Chief Legal Officer, 10121 Barnes Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92121 or by email to ecoatmlegal@ecoatm.com. ecoATM will send any demand for arbitration to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to ecoATM.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in the English language. You and ecoATM both agree that the arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.
For Claims in which the claimant seeks less than USD $10,000, the arbitrator will decide the matter solely based on written submissions, without a formal hearing, unless the arbitrator decides that a formal hearing is necessary. For Claims in which the claimant seeks USD $10,000 or more, or smaller matters in which the arbitrator determines a hearing to be necessary, hearings will be conducted by video or telephone, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing to be necessary. If an in-person hearing is required and you reside in the United States, the hearing will take place in New York, New York, unless the arbitrator determines that this would pose a hardship for you, in which case the in-person hearing may be conducted in the claimant’s state and county of residence. If you reside outside the United States, the site of any in-person hearing will be determined by the applicable Rules.
The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve all Claims in arbitration. Unless you and ecoATM agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each Claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions.
An arbitration award, and any judgment confirming it, apply only to that specific case; it cannot be used or offered as precedent in any other case except to enforce the award itself unless the parties agree prior to issuance of the award. Any arbitration decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial confirmation of any award and an order of enforcement.
(f) Arbitration Fees. Each party will be responsible for arbitration fees in accordance with the applicable Rules and this Agreement.
(g) Frivolous or Improper Claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a claimant must pay all costs incurred by the defending party, including any attorney’s fees, related to a Claim if an arbitrator determines that (i) the Claim was not warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument or (ii) the Claim was filed in arbitration for any improper purpose, such as to harass the defending party, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution.
(h) One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Claim by you or ecoATM against the other must be filed within one year after such Claim arises; otherwise, the Claim is permanently barred, which means that you or ecoATM will no longer have the right to assert that Claim.
(i) Confidentiality. If you or ecoATM submits a Claim to arbitration, you and ecoATM agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and ecoATM agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
(j) Coordinated Filings. If 25 or more Claimant Notices are received by a party that raise similar claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, these will be considered “Coordinated Claims” and will be treated as mass filings or multiple case filings according to the Rules, if and to the extent Coordinated Claims are filed in arbitration as set forth in this Agreement. You or ecoATM may advise the other of your or ecoATM’s belief that Claims are Coordinated Claims, and disputes over whether a Claim meets the definition of “Coordinated Claims” will be decided by the arbitration provider as an administrative matter. To the extent either party is asserting the same Claim as other persons and are represented by common or coordinated counsel, that party waives any objection that the joinder of all such persons is impracticable.
Coordinated Claims may only be filed in arbitration as permitted by the process set forth below. Applicable statutes of limitations will be tolled for Claims asserted in Coordinated Claims from the time a compliant Claimant Notice has been received by a party until this Agreement permits such Coordinated Claim to be filed in arbitration or court.
Initial Bellwether: The bellwether process set forth in this section will not proceed until counsel representing the Coordinated Claims has advised the other party in writing (email suffices) that all or substantially all the Claimant Notices for the Coordinated Claims have been provided.
After that point, counsel for the parties will select 30 Coordinated Claims to proceed in arbitration as a bellwether to allow each side to test the merits of its arguments. Each side will select 15 claimants who have provided compliant Claimant Notices for this purpose, and only those chosen cases may be filed with the arbitration provider. The parties acknowledge that resolution of some Coordinated Claims will be delayed by this bellwether process. Any remaining Coordinated Claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Claims, unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as set out in this Section 25(j).
A single arbitrator will preside over each Coordinated Claim chosen for a bellwether proceeding, and only one Coordinated Claim may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.
Mediation: Once the arbitrations that are part of the bellwether process have concluded (or sooner if the claimants and the other party agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining Coordinated Claims, with the mediator's fee paid half by ecoATM and half by the other parties. Counsel for the claimants and the other party must agree on a mediator within 30 days after the conclusion of the last bellwether arbitration. If counsel for the claimants and the other party cannot agree on a mediator within 30 days, the arbitration provider will appoint a mediator as an administrative matter. All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed.
Remaining Claims: If the mediation process concludes with 100 or more unresolved Coordinated Claims remaining, any party to a remaining Coordinated Claim may elect to no longer have the arbitration requirement in this Section 25 apply to all remaining Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party but that were not resolved in the bellwether process or global mediation. To be effective, such an election must be communicated in writing (email suffices) to counsel for the opposing party within 30 days of mediation concluding. Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement must be resolved in accordance with Section 26.
If the mediation process concludes with fewer than 100 Coordinated Claims remaining or if no party makes a timely election as provided for in the previous paragraph, the arbitrator will randomly select 50 Coordinated Claims (or the total remaining amount if less than 50) to proceed in arbitration as a second batch. The arbitrator will randomly select eligible claimants who have provided compliant Claimant Notices for this purpose, and only those chosen cases may be filed with the arbitration provider. Once all arbitrations in the foregoing process are complete, the parties will repeat this process until all Coordinated Claims have been arbitrated.
If Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement are brought in court, claimants may seek class treatment, but to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the classes sought may comprise only the claimants in Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party. Any party may contest class certification at any stage of the litigation and on any available basis. A court will have authority to enforce the bellwether and mediation processes defined in this section and may enjoin the filing of lawsuits or arbitration demands not made in compliance with it.
(k) Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted this Agreement by emailing ecoatmlegal@ecoatm.com. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration in order to be valid. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 26.
(l) Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change we make to Section 25 (except address changes) by sending us notice of your rejection within 30 days of the change via email at ecoatmlegal@ecoatm.com or by certified mail addressed to ecoATM, LLC, Attn: Deputy General Counsel, 10121 Barnes Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92121. Changes to Section 25 may only be rejected as a whole, and you may not reject only certain changes to Section 25. If you reject changes made to Section 25, the most recent version of Section 25 that you have not rejected will continue to apply.
(m) Severability. If any portion of this Section 25 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 25 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 25; and(iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with this Agreement, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 25 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 25 will be enforceable.
26. Applicable Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from this Agreement or your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration and cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts in the County of San Diego, California.
27. Termination
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your license to use the Services and to block or prevent your future access to, and use of, the Services.
28. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason
unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
