Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH SWIFTUNITY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
Binding Arbitration. All disputes, Claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Arbitration Agreement, the breach thereof, or any use of our Services, except for Claims filed in a small claims court that proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis, shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) governing rules and procedures. In agreeing to arbitrate all Claims, you and SwiftUnity waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any Claim.
If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Bell, Texas. Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgement on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Claim shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Bell, Texas, and the parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
Restrictions. The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding, (b) there is no right or authority for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures, and (c) there is no right or authority for any Claim to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Arbitration. The parties agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect or concerning the validity of any of the intellectual property rights of a party, (b) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any Claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling with that portion of the provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Texas.
Termination of Use
You agree that we may, in our sole discretion, terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Site or our Services with or without notice and for any reason, including, without limitation, breach of these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity may be grounds for terminating your relationship and may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities.
Upon termination or suspension, regardless of the reasons, your right to use the Services immediately ceases, and you acknowledge and agree that we may immediately bar any further access to our Services or this Site. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claims or damages arising out of any termination or suspension, or any other actions taken by us in connection with such termination or suspension.
