If you reside in, or purchased products for personal use in, a state, region, or jurisdiction that prohibits such clauses or waivers of rights, then this Section 18 shall not apply to any claims governed by the laws of your region. This Section 18 is not intended to require you to waive all rights you may have under applicable state or regional laws that prohibit agreements to arbitrate, waive class actions, or waive jury trials.
Please read this Section 18 ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. Note that this clause sets forth the method for resolving disputes between you and us. Section 18 includes, but is not limited to, an arbitration agreement requiring that, with a few exceptions, all disputes between you and us be resolved through final and binding arbitration. Section 18 also includes waivers of class actions and jury trials. In some jurisdictions, you may have additional rights under local laws, and/or certain provisions of the arbitration agreement may not apply.
18.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Services, receipt of communications, products sold or distributed through the Services, or these Terms (including claims and disputes arising before the effective date of these Terms, collectively "Disputes") shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration (conducted in English) rather than through court proceedings, except as follows: (1) if the claim amount is small and eligible for small claims court, either party may choose to resolve the dispute through small claims court; (2) either party may seek equitable relief in court for intellectual property (such as trademark, trade dress, domain name, trade secret, copyright, patent) infringement or other misuse. For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, "Disputes" also include disputes arising before the effective date of these Terms or involving facts at that time, and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
18.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. In some cases, disputes may arise between you and Gooddy. If this happens, we are committed to working with you to reach a reasonable solution. You and we agree that resolving disputes through good-faith informal actions can lead to faster, lower-cost, and mutually beneficial outcomes. Therefore, you and we agree that before either party initiates arbitration or (if chosen by a party) files a lawsuit in small claims court, the parties shall meet and negotiate in person via phone or video conference to attempt to resolve any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement informally (hereinafter "Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting"). If you have retained legal counsel, your attorney may attend the meeting, but you must also be present. The party initiating the dispute must notify the other party in writing of its intention to hold an Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting (hereinafter "Notice"). The meeting shall be held within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives the Notice, unless the parties agree in writing to an extension. If you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting, you shall send it via email to contact@gooddy.store or via regular mail to the applicable address listed in Section 17.4. The Notice shall include: (1) your name, phone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your Account (if any); (2) the name, phone number, mailing address, and email address of your attorney (if any); (3) a description of the dispute.
The Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting shall be a separate meeting, and a separate meeting shall be held for each dispute initiation, unless the parties agree to merge meetings, even if the same law firm or legal team represents multiple users in similar cases. Multiple individuals initiating disputes may not participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting unless all relevant parties agree. Prior to a party receiving the Notice and the formal holding of the Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting, the parties may engage in informal communication to attempt to resolve the initiating party's dispute, and this Arbitration Agreement shall not restrict such communication. Participation in the Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting as provided in this clause is a prerequisite for initiating arbitration proceedings and must be completed before arbitration begins. The statute of limitations and filing fee deadlines shall be tolled during the parties' participation in the Informal Dispute Resolution Meeting as provided in this clause.
18.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. You and we hereby waive any constitutional and legal right to bring an action in court and have a trial by judge or jury. The parties agree that, except as provided in Section 18.1, all Disputes shall be resolved through arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. Note that arbitration does not involve a judge or jury, and court review of arbitration awards is severely limited.
18.4 Waiver of Class Actions and Other Non-Individual Relief. You and we agree that, except as provided in Section 18.9, each party may only assert claims against the other on an individual basis, and not as a class, representative, or class action. The parties hereby waive all rights to bring, litigate, manage, resolve, or arbitrate any dispute as a class, class action, representative action, or mass action. Only individual relief may be awarded, and disputes of multiple customers or users may not be consolidated or arbitrated jointly with those of other customers or users. Pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may only award declaratory or injunctive relief to an individual party seeking relief, and the relief shall be limited to the extent necessary to satisfy that party's individual claim. This paragraph is not intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions of Section 18.9 in any way. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court determines by a final order (which is not subject to further appeal or pursuit) that the limitations in this clause are invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), the parties agree that such particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular request) shall be severed from the arbitration. All other disputes shall be resolved through arbitration or filed in small claims court. Nothing in this subdivision prevents you or us from participating in the settlement of class claims.
18.5 Rules and Forum. If the above informal dispute resolution process does not result in a satisfactory resolution within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Notice, both parties agree that either party shall have the right to resolve the dispute through final and binding arbitration. Unless required by law, arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its then-effective Commercial Arbitration Rules (or, if applicable, Consumer Arbitration Rules). You may initiate arbitration proceedings in your place of residence, and in-person hearings shall be held at the location nearest to your residence, or at a reasonably convenient location mutually agreed upon by the parties, taking full account of the travel convenience of both parties and other relevant factors. If AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration, the parties shall select another arbitration institution. Your responsibility to pay AAA fees shall be in accordance with applicable AAA rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through the above informal dispute resolution process, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings by sending an arbitration notice to the other party, which shall describe the nature and basis of the dispute and contain all information required for the arbitration notice ("Arbitration Notice"). The Arbitration Notice shall include: (1) the name, phone number, mailing address, email address, and username associated with any applicable Account (if applicable) of the party initiating arbitration; (2) a statement of the legal claims asserted and their factual basis; (3) a description of the relief sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the dispute amount; (4) a statement certifying completion of the above informal dispute resolution process; (5) evidence that the applicant has paid the necessary filing fees associated with initiating the arbitration. If the party initiating arbitration is represented by an attorney, the Arbitration Notice shall also include the attorney's name, phone number, mailing address, and email address. The relevant attorney must also sign the Arbitration Notice. By signing the Arbitration Notice, the attorney certifies, based on his/her knowledge, information, and belief after reasonable investigation under the circumstances, that: (1) the Arbitration Notice is not presented for an improper purpose, such as harassment, causing unnecessary delay, or needlessly increasing the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses, and other legal arguments asserted are supported by existing law, or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or establishing new law, in good faith; (3) the factual contentions and damages disputes are supported by evidence, or, if specifically so identified, are likely to be supported by evidence after reasonable further investigation or discovery. Unless you and we agree otherwise, or unless Section 18.9 is triggered, arbitration shall be conducted in your place of residence. The arbitrator may, in accordance with applicable AAA rules, direct the parties to exchange limited and reasonable information to ensure the expeditious handling of the arbitration proceedings. You and we agree that arbitration shall be conducted confidentially, and all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration shall be kept confidential and shall not be used for any purpose outside the arbitration, nor shared with anyone other than the parties' attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, who must also keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration confidential.
18.6 Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be an attorney or retired judge and shall be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Arbitration Notice, AAA shall appoint an arbitrator in accordance with its applicable rules; provided, however, that if Section 18.9 is triggered, AAA shall appoint an arbitrator for each batch. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 18.9, arbitration proceedings may not be consolidated with other matters, cases, or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to issue a final award on all or part of the dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and decision clearly setting forth the essential findings of fact and conclusions upon which the award is based, and shall calculate the amount of damages. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on both parties and shall not be appealable. The arbitration award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.7 Arbitration Fees and Costs. Each party shall bear its own attorney's fees and related costs incurred in the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that the substance of the dispute or the relief sought in the Arbitration Notice is patently improper or was brought for an improper purpose. If the parties need to seek to compel arbitration through a court of competent jurisdiction, the party obtaining the order compelling arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable fees, necessary expenses, and attorney's fees incurred therefor.
18.8 Batch Arbitration. To improve arbitration management efficiency and expedite dispute resolution, the parties agree that AAA shall manage arbitration requests in a batch manner under the following circumstances: if, within thirty (30) days, 100 or more individual arbitration claims against us are filed or assisted by the same law firm, legal team, or organization, AAA shall: (1) batch the arbitration requests into groups of 100 requests each (if fewer than 100 requests remain after batching, the remaining requests shall be combined into a final batch); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; (3) process each batch as a separate consolidated arbitration case, with a single filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each party, a single procedural schedule, a single hearing (if any) for the batch, and the arbitrator shall determine the hearing location, and finally issue a consolidated award ("Batch Arbitration").
The parties agree that claims are "substantially similar" if they arise from or relate to the same event, factual background, raise the same or similar legal issues, and seek the same or similar relief. If the parties dispute the applicability of the Batch Arbitration procedure, the objecting party shall notify AAA, which shall appoint a single arbitrator to decide on the applicability of the Batch Arbitration procedure (hereinafter "Administrative Arbitrator"). To expedite the Administrative Arbitrator's resolution of such disputes, the parties agree that they may establish relevant procedures as needed to promptly resolve such disputes. The fees of the Administrative Arbitrator shall be borne by us. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith with AAA to advance the Batch Arbitration process, including paying a single filing and administrative fee for each batch per party, and taking necessary measures to minimize the time and cost of arbitration, which may include: (1) appointing a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in resolving discovery disputes; (2) adopting an accelerated arbitration procedure schedule. This Batch Arbitration clause shall not be construed as authorizing any form of class, joint, and/or mass arbitration or litigation, nor shall it authorize the arbitration of consolidated or merged claims under any circumstances, except as expressly provided in this clause.
18.9 Right to Opt Out Within Thirty Days. You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of first being bound by it by sending a written notice to the applicable address set forth in Section 17.4 indicating your desire to opt out. The notice shall include your name and address, the email address used to register your Account (if any), and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, the other provisions of these Terms shall still apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement shall not affect any other arbitration agreement you may have with us now or in the future.
18.10 Invalidity or Laches. Except as provided in Section 18.9, if any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found by a court or arbitral tribunal to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed invalid and deleted from this Agreement, but the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain fully valid and enforceable. You further agree that any dispute (including claims) between you and us under this Arbitration Agreement must be brought in arbitration within the applicable statute of limitations, or the right to arbitrate shall be forever barred. Additionally, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitations shall apply equally to the arbitration proceedings, applying the same standards as would apply in a court of competent jurisdiction.
18.11 Modification of Terms. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in these Terms, the parties agree that if there is a material change to this Arbitration Agreement in the future, we will notify you. Your continued use of the Services (including acceptance of products and services provided in or through the Services) shall constitute your acceptance of the change unless you send a written notice clearly indicating your rejection to the applicable address set forth in Section 17.4 via email within thirty (30) days after the updated Arbitration Agreement is posted and becomes effective. If you have agreed to a version of the Arbitration Agreement and have not effectively opted out, the updated Arbitration Agreement shall not provide you with an opportunity to opt out again. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement and you are bound by an existing Arbitration Agreement involving disputes related to your access to or use of the Services, receipt of communications, any products sold or distributed through the Services or these Terms, or other matters, the provisions of the Arbitration Agreement in effect when you first accepted these Terms (or accepted their subsequent modifications) shall remain fully in effect. If you have effectively opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in past terms, we will continue to respect that choice.
