6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

   Please carefully read and review this section. It affects and limits your rights.

   We strive to resolve any customer concerns quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction. If You need help or have an issue with the Site, please email as soon as possible at [email protected], so that we may have an opportunity to address Your issue. However, it is possible that a dispute may arise which You feel we are unable to satisfactorily resolve. In the unlikely event that We are unable to resolve Your issue to Your satisfaction, after we have had an opportunity to address Your issue, You agree that resolution of that issue will be resolved through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a general jurisdiction court.

   In this binding arbitration agreement “You” and “Takedwn include all our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms of Use.

   If You have any questions about binding arbitration or how this affects Your rights, Takedwn encourages you to seek the advice of an independent attorney before using Takedwn’s services.

   An arbitration is a less formal dispute resolution than a lawsuit in a federal or state court. Arbitration is decided by a neutral arbitrator rather than a judge or jury, which allows for less formal procedures and less discovery.

   You also agree that any arbitration under these terms will be on an individual basis and not as a class.

   You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between You and Takedwn before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The types of disputes You and Takedwn agree to submit to arbitration are meant to be interpreted broadly and apply without limitation to the following:

   1. claims relating to or arising from any aspect of the relationship between You and Takedwn, including claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
   2. claims that arose before the current version of these Terms of Use or any prior version of Terms of Use; and
   3. claims that may arise or be discovered these Terms of Use are terminated.

   The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

   To initiate an arbitration a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. certified mail. A Notice to Takedwn should be addressed to: Notice of Arbitration, Legal Department, Takedown, LLC, 7650 S. McClintock Dr, Suite 103-352 Tempe, AZ 85284. The notice must describe in detail the dispute and the relief You seek. If, after 30 days from when the notice is received, You and Takedwn are not able to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute either You or Takedwn may commence an arbitration proceeding before JAMS.

   To initiate an arbitration before JAMS, You must follow the process outlined for JAMS at www.jamsadr.com and also send a copy of any Demand for Arbitration that You submit to JAMS to Us at: 7650 S. McClintock Dr, Suite 103-352 Tempe, AZ 85284.

   If Your total demand for relief is less than $5,000 (USD), then: (a) you may choose whether your participation in the arbitration will be conducted on the basis of documents provided to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing; (b) Takedwn will reimburse your filing fees up to a total of $1,500 (USD) unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous; and (c) Takedwn will not seek attorney’s fees and costs, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. You are responsible for Your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

   You agree that Your use of the Site is a transaction or website use consisting of interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Arbitration shall be initiated and occur in Phoenix, Arizona, United States, and You and Takedwn agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Phoenix, Arizona in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

   In arbitration you may recover attorney’s fees from Takedwn to the same extent or more as you would in court. The arbitrator shall apply the same limitations period that would apply in court. Although under some laws Takedwn may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, if it prevails in an arbitration proceeding, Takedwn will not seek such an award, for claims under $5,000.

   Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Takedwn are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

   This binding arbitration agreement shall survive the termination of Your use of the Site.
