9.    Arbitration of Disputes; Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DISPUTES, OR CONTROVERSIES (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) YOU MAY HAVE WITH, AGAINST, OR CONCERNING BVT WILL BE RESOLVED BY CONFIDENTIAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, except as set forth below.  Arbitration of disputes will be administered and conducted by the Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services (“JAMS”) under its rules as applicable at the time the arbitration is commenced. For claims less than $75,000, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules will apply; for claims over $75,000, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules will apply. Arbitration of all disputes will be conducted by a single arbitrator and will take place in the JAMS Resolution Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The arbitration and its result will be confidential. Costs and fees of the arbitration will be allocated as set forth in the JAMS rules applicable the arbitration proceeding.  The above agreement to arbitrate is subject to the following exceptions:

  • We may file an action seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction;
  • In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is held to be unenforceable, any claim against us must be brought exclusively in a federal or state court located in Cobb County of the State of Georgia, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; any such action remains fully subject to the Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver set forth herein.

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If we believe that any claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with this limitation, then you agree that we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of this class action waiver. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim, the arbitration agreement and Class Action Waiver will not apply to that claim, but they will still apply to any and all other claims that you or we may assert in that or any other action. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
