If the above doesn’t apply to You, but You demonstrate that arbitration costs will be prohibitive compared to litigation costs, VLURA will pay as much of your JAMS costs as the arbitrator finds is necessary to prevent arbitration from being cost-prohibitive (as compared to the cost of litigation).
Even if VLURA wins the arbitration and the applicable law or the JAMS Rules allow VLURA to seek our portion of the JAMS fees from you, we won’t.
The fee assistance offered above is contingent upon You bringing the arbitration claim in “good faith”. If the arbitrator finds You brought an arbitration claim against VLURA for an improper purpose, frivolously, or without a sufficient pre-claim investigation into the facts or applicable law, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules.
JAMS costs do not include your Attorneys’ fees and costs and Attorneys’ fees and JAMS costs are not counted when determining how much a dispute involves.
VLURA won’t seek our attorneys’ fees or expenses from you in any arbitration, even if the law or the JAMS rules entitle us to do so. If you choose to be represented by an attorney, you will pay your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the applicable law provides otherwise.
3.4 Notice and Filing:
If a Dispute must be arbitrated, You or VLURA must start arbitration of the Dispute within two (2) years from when the Dispute first arose. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than two years after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. VLURA encourages You to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
3.5 Continuation in Effect:
This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of these Terms or VLURA’s provision of services to You.
3.6 Future Terms Changes:
Although VLURA may revise these Terms in its discretion, VLURA does not have the right to alter these Terms to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute arises.
4. Class Action Waiver:
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, You and VLURA agree to only bring Disputes in an individual capacity and shall not:
seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity (e.g., private attorney general actions); or
consolidate or combine individual proceedings or permit an arbitrator to do so without the express consent of all parties to these Terms and all other actions or arbitrations.
5. Severability:
If all or any provision of this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then You and VLURA agree that the provision will be severed and the rest of these Terms shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. The sole exception is that if the Class Action Waiver is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, You and VLURA agree that it will not be severable; this entire Binding Individual Arbitration section will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court subject to the venue and choice of clauses specified in these Terms. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without VLURA’s express consent.
Language
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the controlling language for these Terms is English. It is the express wish of the parties that these Terms and all related documents have been drawn up in English. Les parties déclarent qu’elles ont demandé et par les présentes confirment leur desir exprés que cette convention soit rédigee en anglais. Any translation has been provided for your convenience.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver of these Terms by VLURA shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure of VLURA to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
