13. Dispute Resolution - Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
- ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.YOU AND ARIA AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES (“Claims”) THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE TERMS OF THE TERMS OF USE, THE SITE, OR ANY SERVICE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BILLING DISPUTES) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, Claims are decided by an arbitrator whose authority is created by and governed by this arbitration agreement. Review of arbitration awards in the courts is very limited.
- CLASS ACTION WAIVER:YOU AND ARIA AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN US WILL BE RESOLVED IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. WE BOTH AGREE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS IN ARBITRATION. In addition, neither you nor Aria may participate in a class or representative action in court as a class member if the claims asserted in the litigation would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if asserted directly by you or Aria. To be clear, you and Aria both waive any right to participate in any class action involving disputes between us. This class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and may not be severed. If for any reason this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entire arbitration agreement will not apply. However, the Jury Trial set forth in these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.
- ARBITRATOR AUTHORITY:The arbitrator's authority is governed by this arbitration agreement. You and Aria agree that the arbitrator may award the same relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award – consistent with and limited by these Terms of Use (including the limitations of liability set forth herein) but the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief that extends beyond you and your dealings with Aria. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party if a court would be authorized to do so under the applicable law.
- ARBITRATION PROCEDURES:You and Aria agree that your agreement affects interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies. All arbitrations shall be conducted by JAMS Endispute under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS”). These Rules are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1.800.352.5267. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and this arbitration agreement, then this arbitration agreement shall control. You and Aria will equally split the cost of arbitration unless otherwise required by controlling law and/or the rule of the arbitration association. To the extent required by controlling law or the rules of the arbitration association, Aria will pay all filing fees and costs associated with commencing an arbitration, but you will be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees (if you chose to use an attorney in arbitration) unless you prevail in the arbitration and the arbitrator finds that you are entitled to recover your fees under the law. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, Aria agrees not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law. If you bring an arbitration against Aria, the arbitration hearing will be held in your hometown area, unless we both agree on a different location.
- TIME LIMITATIONS: If you or Aria want to assert a dispute against the other, the party with the dispute must initiate arbitration within one (1) year from the date the dispute arose. Absent commencing the arbitration within one (1) year from the date the dispute arose, the Dispute(s) will be forever barred.
- SEVERABILITY: If any part of this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” section is ruled to be unenforceable, then the balance of this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” section shall remain in full effect and construed and enforced as if the portion rule unenforceable were not contained herein.
- SURVIVAL:This arbitration agreement survives the termination of these Terms of Use between you and Aria.
- INJUNCTION: NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, ANY DISPUTE THAT FALLS WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL SCOPE AND AMOUNT OF AN APPROPRIATE SMALL CLAIMS COURT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ILLINOIS SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. IN ADDITION, EITHER PARTY MAY ELECT TO BRING AN ACTION IN ILLINOIS COURT TO SEEK TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
14. Jury Trial Waiver
You and Aria expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that if for any reason the arbitration agreement contained in these Terms of Use is not enforced or is found inapplicable, our claims against each other will be resolved by a judge rather than a jury.

YOU AGREE THAT THE LIABILITY OF ARIA AND ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS, IF ANY, ARISING OUT OF ANY KIND OF LEGAL CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID, IF ANY, FOR THE USE OF THE SITE OUT OF WHICH SUCH LIABILITY ALLEGEDLY ARISES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY THREATENING, DEFAMATORY, OBSCENE, OFFENSIVE, TORTIOUS, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT BY YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OR ANOTHER'S RIGHTS ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITE.
TO THE LIMITED EXTENT THAT A CONTROLLING JURISDICTION DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN, ONLY IN SUCH INSTANCE IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOME OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY MAY NOT APPLY.
16. Idemnification
YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY ARIA AND ITS OWNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS, AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEY'S FEES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY BREACH OF THESE TERMS OF USE.
