‍

17. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.  IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS THE WAY THAT YOU AND WE BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER AND HOW THOSE CLAIMS ARE DECIDED.

‍

1.   Dispute Resolution.  YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY, OR FORMATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR CONTENT WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THOUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT.  THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS INTENDED TO BE BROADLY INTERPRETED AND INCLUDES ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND FOR THE CLOUT REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US OR ANY CONDUCT OR FAILURE TO ACT ON OUR PART, INCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (FOR EXAMPLE, A NEGLIGENCE CLAIM), VIOLATION OF LAW OR ANY CLAIMS BASED ON ANY OTHER THEORY, AND INCLUDING THOSE BASED ON EVENTS THAT OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

‍

• You may assert claims in your local small claims court if its rules permit it;
• Any claim regarding the validity, protection or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights) must be brought in court; and
• In the event this agreement to arbitrate is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any dispute or claim against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located in Seattle, Washington, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for such purposes.  We both also consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for purposes of any claim regarding the validity, protection or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (excluding its privacy or publicity rights). You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, including its procedural provisions, in all respects.

‍

2. Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.  ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY THE PARTIES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE 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, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR 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). If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then all of Section 17, other than subsection 17.8, will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.

‍

3. Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement.  The AAA Rules may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, and must enforce the same limitations stated in this Agreement as a court would.  The arbitrator will issue an award decision in writing but will not provide an explanation for the award unless you or For the Clout requests one.  The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

‍

4. Demand for Arbitration.  A party who intends to arbitrate (“Claimant”) must first send to the other party (“Respondent”) a written notice, entitled “Demand for Arbitration” (“Demand”).   The Demand must:  (1) briefly explain the dispute; (2) provide the Claimant’s name and address, the address of the Claimant’s representative (if the Claimant has one), and the Respondent’s name and address (for For the Clout, see below); (3) specify the amount of money in dispute, if applicable; (4) if the Claimant is requesting an in-person hearing, identify the requested location for the hearing; and (5) include a statement of what the Claimant wants.  The Claimant must send one copy of the Demand to AAA at the same time the Claimant sends it to the Respondent. When sending a copy of the Demand to AAA, the Claimant must also include a copy of this arbitration agreement and any amendments to it (see Section 17.7) and the then current filing fee required by the AAA.  The Demand must be sent to the AAA at the following address:

‍

American Arbitration Association

Case Filing Services

1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100

Voorhees, NJ 08043

‍

Alternatively, the Demand may be filed with the AAA online using :  AAA WebFile: https://www.adr.org.  Any Demand to For the Clout should be addressed to:  For the Clout LLC, 8448 N Mercer Way, Mercer Island, WA 98040.

‍

5. Filing, Administration and Arbitrator Fees.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Section 17.  If the value of the relief sought is $5,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, but not your attorneys’ fees.  Any request for payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees by For the Clout should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand and For the Clout will make arrangements to pay all such necessary fees directly to the AAA.  In the event that the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by For the Clout on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.

‍

6. OPT-OUT PROCEDURE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 17, YOU MUST NOTIFY FOR THE CLOUT IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.  YOU MAY OPT OUT BY MAILING A WRITTEN NOTICE TO FOR THE CLOUT AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 17.4. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO FOR THE CLOUT MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH FOR THE CLOUT THROUGH ARBITRATION.  IF YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 17, ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY, INCLUDING SECTION 17.8, BELOW.

‍

7. Amendment to Arbitration Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to the arbitration provisions in this Section 17 in the future (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein), that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against For the Clout prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and For the Clout. We will notify you of amendments to the arbitration provisions of this Section 17 by posting the amended terms on the Site and/or by providing notice to you by email, at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account with For the Clout within the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

‍

8.  JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND FOR THE CLOUT EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.  THIS MEANS THAT ANY CLAIM WOULD BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE, NOT A JURY.  FURTHER, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT PROCEEDS IN A COURT, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

‍

18. Miscellaneous.

‍

3. Limitation on Time to File Claims. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICES (INCLUDING THE CONTENT) MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

‍

4. Waiver and Severability. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  If any provision of these Terms of Use 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 possible, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. 

‍
