10. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
Most of Your concerns about the Services and/or PLATFORM can be addressed by contacting Us at termsofuse@asurion.com. For any dispute with Us, You agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.
- YOU AND WE AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. This Arbitration Agreement (“ARB”) shall survive the termination of the Agreement and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This ARB shall be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute You have with Us that arises out of or relates in any way to Your relationship with Us or the Services and/or PLATFORM, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise. However, this ARB does not preclude You from bringing an individual action against Us in small claims court or from informing any federal, state or local agencies of Your dispute. Such agencies may be able to seek relief on Your behalf.
- To initiate arbitration, send a written Notice of Claim by certified mail to: Legal Department, P.O. Box 110656, Nashville, TN 37122-0656. The Notice must describe the dispute and the relief sought. If We do not resolve the dispute within 60 days of receipt of the Notice, You may start an arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You may contact the AAA and obtain a free copy of the rules and forms necessary to start an arbitration proceeding at www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879. We will reimburse You for a filing fee paid to the AAA, and if You are unable to pay a filing fee, We will pay it if You send a written request by certified mail to the Legal Department.
- The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“Rules”) in effect at the time the arbitration is started and as modified by this ARB. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this ARB and shall decide all issues, with the exception that issues relating to the enforceability of this ARB may be decided by a court. If Your dispute is for $10,000 or less, You may conduct the arbitration by submitting documents to the arbitrator or by telephone. If Your dispute is for more than $10,000, Your right to hearings will be determined by the Rules. Unless otherwise agreed, any hearings will take place in the county/parish of Your mailing address. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration, unless Your dispute is found by the arbitrator to have been frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). In that case, the Rules govern payment of such fees.
- The arbitrator shall issue a decision including the facts and law upon which his/her decision is based. If the arbitrator finds in Your favor and issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement offer made by Us or if We made no settlement offer, and the arbitrator awards You any damages, We will: (1) pay You the amount of the award or $2,500, whichever is greater; and (2) pay Your attorney, if any, the attorney's fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the arbitration. While the right to the attorney’s fees and expenses discussed above is in addition to any right You may have under applicable law, neither You nor Your attorney may recover duplicate awards of attorney’s fees and expenses. We hereby waive any right We may have under applicable law to recover attorney’s fees and expenses from You if it prevails in the arbitration.
- If You seek declaratory or injunctive relief, that relief can be awarded only to the extent necessary to provide You relief. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless You and We agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate Your dispute with the dispute of any other person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this ARB is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this ARB is null and void.
11. CLAIM LIMITATION.
Unless otherwise allowed by applicable law, any claim related to the Services and/or PLATFORM shall be brought within one year of the events giving rise to the claim. Failure to assert any such claim during that one-year period results in the claim being forever waived and barred.
12. THIRD-PARTIES.
The Services and/or PLATFORM may expose You to content, websites, products and services created or provided by parties other than Us (“third-party content”). We do not review, endorse or assume any responsibility for third-party content and shall have no liability to You for access to or use of third-party content. You access or use third-party content at Your own risk and discretion, and You understand that this Agreement and Privacy Policy do not apply to that third-party content.

You further acknowledge that We do not, by acceptance of Your submission, waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to Us, or developed by its employees or obtained from sources other than You.
14. INDEMNIFICATION.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Us harmless from any claim, proceeding, loss, damage, liability or expense of any kind arising out of or in connection with the following: (a) Your use or misuse of the Services and/or PLATFORM; (b) Your alleged or actual breach of this Agreement; (c) Your alleged or actual violation of any applicable rule, law or regulation; (d) Your negligence or willful misconduct; or (e) Your alleged or actual violation of the intellectual property or other rights of third parties. We reserve the right, at Your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which You are required to indemnify, and You agree to cooperate in that defense.
15. ASSIGNMENT.
This Agreement and any rights or licenses granted hereunder may not be transferred or assigned by You, but may be transferred or assigned by Us, without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation of this provision is null and void.
16. SEVERABILITY & WAIVER.
If any term of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that term should be modified to the extent possible to make it valid or enforceable without losing its intent and purpose. If no such modification is possible, the term should be severed from this Agreement. Any failure to enforce a right or term of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or term.
