You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, you and Collectively are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. You and Collectively agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Collectively agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).

Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Collectively is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by emailing Collectively’s support team at support@collectivelyapp.com.

Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless you and Collectively agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Collectively agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Collectively or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Collectively is entitled.

Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than the “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.

Dispute Time Limit. The timeline for disputes hereunder, unless otherwise required by applicable law, must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues.

23. General

These Terms and any Additional Terms shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, as it is applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

If any provision of these Terms, or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstances, is held invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that matches, as closely as possible, the original provision, and the other provisions of these Terms (including any limitations of liability or other exclusions of damages) shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect.

The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of, or to exercise any right available under, these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

Unless expressly provided otherwise, these Terms, the Additional Terms, together with any amendments and additional agreements you may enter into with Collectively, constitute the entire agreement between you and Collectively with respect to the use of the Services and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by an authorized representative of Collectively.

No party shall be liable for any default or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms if and to the extent such default or delay is caused directly or indirectly by a force majeure event. In any such event, the non-performing party shall be excused from any further performance and observance of the obligations so affected only for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance as soon as practicable.

All representations, warranties and indemnification obligations made or undertaken by you will survive any cancellation or termination of your account.

You may not assign these Terms or any Additional Terms, nor may you delegate or subcontract any of your obligations under these Terms or any Additional Terms, in each case without the express prior written consent of Collectively.
