For the purposes of this arbitration agreement, “Dispute” also includes disputes arising from facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the terms and conditions, as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these terms and conditions.
Should a dispute arise between us, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. Both parties agree that sincere informal efforts to resolve disputes can lead to a swift, cost-effective, and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court, if elected), we will engage in a good-faith informal dispute resolution conference telephonically or via video conference to try to resolve any dispute covered by this arbitration agreement. If you are represented by legal counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but your participation is also required.
The party initiating a Dispute must provide written Notice to the other party of its intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days of the other party receiving such Notice, unless both parties agree to an extension. Notice to us should be sent by email to [email protected] or by regular mail to our offices at 11215 Metro Parkway, Building 3, Suite 1, Fort Myers, Florida 33966 The Notice must include: (1) your contact details, including name, telephone number, mailing address, and associated email address (if applicable) (2) the contact details of your legal counsel, if any and (3) a description of the Dispute. We will provide notice to your address on file. Each Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized, meaning that a separate conference must be held each time a party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree otherwise. Multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.
To streamline the administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and we mutually agree that in the event of one hundred (100) or more individual arbitrations of a substantially similar nature brought against us by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (a) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 arbitrations per batch (with any remaining arbitrations forming a final batch), (b) appoint one arbitrator for each batch, and (c) facilitate the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with a singular set of filing and administrative fees per side, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if required), held at a location determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that arbitrations are deemed to be of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise from or are related to the same event, act, omission, practice, or factual scenario, raise identical or similar legal issues, and seek equivalent or comparable relief. In the event of disagreement regarding the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disputing party shall notify the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). To expedite the resolution of any such dispute, the Administrative Arbitrator may establish necessary procedures. The fees of the Administrative Arbitrator shall be covered by us.
You and we pledge to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process, including the payment of consolidated filing and administrative fees, and to take steps to minimize arbitration time and costs, such as appointing a discovery special master to assist with discovery disputes and adopting an expedited arbitration proceedings calendar. However, this Batch Arbitration provision is not interpreted as authorizing class, collective, or mass arbitration or action, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, except as explicitly outlined in this provision.
