14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
a. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between You and Zero Parallel, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that You may assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude You from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, You and Zero Parallel are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND ZERO PARALLEL 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 ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ZERO PARALLEL 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, OR CLASS 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
c. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
We are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@zeroparallel.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, You and Zero Parallel agree that a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Zero Parallel should be sent to 500 N. Brand Blvd., Suite 1500, Glendale, CA 91203 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Zero Parallel and You do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, You or Zero Parallel may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Zero Parallel or You will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or Zero Parallel is entitled.
d. Arbitration Procedures
Unless You and Zero Parallel agree in writing to proceed before a different arbitral body and/or arbitral rules, any arbitration between You and Us will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless Zero Parallel and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA or the arbitrator. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Zero Parallel agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
e. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement or the parties entered into a separate agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Zero Parallel will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and You are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that You are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that You should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Zero Parallel will pay your portion of such fees. If You demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Zero Parallel will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
f. Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
g. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
h. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Zero Parallel agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while You are a user of the Service, You may reject any such change by sending Zero Parallel written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, You are agreeing that You will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date You first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
15. NO CLASS ACTIONS. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CONSOLIDATED OR CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
16. ENFORCEMENT. Zero Parallel wishes to maintain the Website as a helpful resource for all of its users. As it relates to Zero Parallel, You therefore have no reasonable expectation of privacy while using the Website because Zero Parallel reserves the right to view, monitor, and/or record activity on the Website (in accordance with applicable law) and to comply with government or court appointed authorities when necessary. Actual or attempted unauthorized use of the Website may also result in criminal and/or civil prosecution, including, without limitation, punishment under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 under U.S. federal law. You shall therefore not, nor shall You permit any third party to, disable, circumvent, or otherwise avoid any security device, mechanism, protocol, or procedure established by Zero Parallel for use of or with the Website. Moreover, You also acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement by You may cause irreparable injury to Zero Parallel and/or its licensors, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Zero Parallel and/or its licensors would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Zero Parallel and/or its licensors (or on their behalf) shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, You hereby waive any requirement that Zero Parallel or its licensors post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to Zero Parallel to enforce any provision of this Agreement.
17. PRIVACY. Please review our privacy policy at (“Privacy Policy”). The terms of the Privacy Policy are incorporated into and considered a part of these Terms and Conditions of Use.
18. Zero Parallel notice for electronic signatures, records, and disclosures (“E-Consent”).
Please read this information carefully. In order to offer You a service, You may be required to use and accept electronic signatures, records, and disclosures. By accepting this E-Consent Notice, Zero Parallel may interact with You electronically, including sending You electronic notices related to your interactions and transactions. By accepting this E-Consent Notice, You are also consenting to enter into binding legal obligations via electronic signatures, which are as valid and binding as signatures on paper.
19. TERMINATION. Zero Parallel also reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraud, illegal activity, or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement with You (including any registered account) in order to protect its name, business, or goodwill and/or any other user. You acknowledge and agree that Zero Parallel shall have the sole right to determine in its reasonable discretion whether You are engaging in any unauthorized activity and/or violating any term or conditions of this Agreement. Zero Parallel shall also not be responsible or liable for any damages or loss, such as loss of sales or profits, as a result of any termination of this Agreement in accordance with this section. You may also terminate at any time by ceasing to use the Website. But, all applicable provisions of this Agreement will survive termination, as outlined below. Any licenses from Zero Parallel and any right to use the Website shall immediately cease upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions concerning feedback, Zero Parallel’s ownership rights, representations and warranties, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, governing law, enforcement, termination, and the miscellaneous terms will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
20. MISCELLANEOUS. The relationship between You and Zero Parallel is and shall be that of independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or used to create or imply any relationship of partners, joint ventures, or employer and employee. You may not assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or the license granted hereunder or delegate any of your duties specified herein, in whole or in part, without Zero Parallel’s prior written consent. Any attempt of assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Agreement shall be void, of no effect, and a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zero Parallel may assign this Agreement in whole or in part. Moreover, Zero Parallel may delegate its rights and responsibilities or use contractors or agents to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Failure by Zero Parallel to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, You agree that unless it materially affects the entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, the invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall affect neither the validity of this Agreement nor the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in question shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision most closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original provision. Headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. This Agreement and Zero Parallel’s Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein, represent the entire agreement between You and Zero Parallel with respect to subject matter herein, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between You and Zero Parallel with respect to the Website. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Zero Parallel. Please note that Zero Parallel reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this Agreement and by which the Website is extended to You by providing You in writing or electronically a copy of such revised terms (or notice thereof). Zero Parallel also has the exclusive right to provide updates, upgrades, or changes to, or to suspend, discontinue, or modify any aspect of the Website at any time. Your continued use of the Website following any such change to such Website will be deemed acceptance to be bound by any such change to this Agreement or the Website. If You have any questions about this Agreement, You may contact us via e-mail at: info@zeroparallel.com, toll-free at (855) 295-4386, or in writing sent via certified mail to: Zero Parallel, LLC 505 N.
