DISPUTE RESOLUTION – ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
(Mandatory Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver)
READ THIS CAREFULLY AS IT IMPACTS HOW LEGAL CLAIMS ARE RESOLVED. Arbitration waives your right to a jury trial or class action in court or arbitration. Either party may require arbitration of a Claim at any time, even after a lawsuit begins. Failure to comply with a lawful arbitration demand requires the non-complying party to bear all related costs.
You may reject this Arbitration Agreement by mailing a rejection notice to 1233 20th Ave SW, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577, Attn: Terms of Use and Privacy Policy Arbitration Rejection, within 30 days of agreeing to these terms. The notice must include your name, address, phone number, date of agreement, and signature. Rejection applies only to this agreement and not others between you and us.
What Claims Are Covered: “Claim” includes any dispute related to the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, website use, your account, transactions, communications, or services provided by us or third parties, including compliance with laws like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Exclusions include disputes about the Arbitration Agreement’s validity, certain court remedies, self-help remedies, or small claims court actions.
Electing Arbitration: Either party may elect arbitration by written notice or filing a motion to compel arbitration. The asserting party starts the arbitration proceeding.
Choosing the Administrator: Arbitration is conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA, www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). If neither is available, parties mutually agree on an administrator, or a court appoints one. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with over 10 years of experience or a retired judge.
Class Action Waiver: If arbitration is elected, neither you nor we may participate in a class action, act as a class representative, or consolidate claims with others. Arbitrators lack authority to conduct class arbitrations or issue relief beyond the individual parties.
Location of Arbitration: Hearings occur at a location convenient to your residence.
Cost of Arbitration: We will pay all arbitration fees for claims you assert in individual arbitration after you pay an amount equivalent to a court filing fee. We will pay your reasonable attorney, witness, and expert fees if you prevail, as required by law or to enforce this agreement.
Governing Law: The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) governs this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator applies substantive law consistent with the FAA, including statutes of limitation and privileges, and may award damages or relief available in court.
Right to Discovery: Parties may request expanded discovery, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion.
Arbitration Result and Appeal: The arbitrator’s decision is final, except for FAA appeal rights. For claims over $25,000, either party may appeal to a three-arbitrator panel, which reviews the case de novo. Costs follow the same rules as initial arbitration.
Rules of Interpretation: This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. If the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the entire Arbitration Agreement is void for that proceeding. Claims for public injunctive relief, if restricted, will be resolved in court, with individual claims arbitrated.
Notice of Claim: Before initiating arbitration, the claimant must provide written notice of the claim and a 30-day opportunity to resolve it. If we deny relief and an arbitrator later awards it, you may receive at least $7,500, plus applicable fees.
Governing Law
The laws of South Carolina, without regard to conflict of laws, govern these Terms of Use and any disputes, except for the Arbitration Agreement, which is governed by the FAA.
