14.1. Informal Dispute Resolution. The Company’s Customer Support department is available at hello@gpt-trainer.com to address any concerns, disputes, claims or controversies you may have regarding the Services, these Terms (including its interpretation, formation, performance and breach) or the relationship between you and the Company (collectively, “Disputes”). Most Disputes are quickly resolved in this manner to our users’ satisfaction. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any Dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
14.2. Formal Dispute Resolution. If you are not a resident of the EEA, in the event that the parties do not agree upon a resolution in connection with a Dispute within a period of 30 calendar days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated pursuant to Section 15.1 (Initial Dispute Resolution), you and the Company expressly agree that the provisions in Section 15.2(a)(Agreement to Arbitrate), Section 15.2(b) (Location), Section 15.2(c) (Class Action Waiver), Section 15.2(d) (Exception – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court) and Section 15.2(e) (30 Day Right to Opt Out) apply to you if (i) you are domiciled in and/or use the Services in the United States or (ii) you are domiciled in and/or use the Services from outside the United States, legal proceedings in connection with a Dispute are initiated within the United States and you are entitled to participate in such proceedings.
(a) Agreement to Arbitrate. If the parties do not agree upon a resolution in connection with a Dispute within a period of thirty (30 calendar days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated pursuant to Section 15.1 (Initial Dispute Resolution), then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to formally resolve claims (the “Agreement to Arbitrate”), subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all Disputes shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) and, where appropriate, AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Resolution of Consumer-Related Disputes (the “AAA Consumer Rules”). This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and formation of these Terms notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including without limitation any claim that all or any party of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
The AAA Rules and the AAA Consumer Rules are both available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the cost of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
(b) Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in San Francisco, California, and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco, California, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(c) Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR THE COMPANY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLANITFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
(d) Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the Services under this Agreement. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
(e) 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Subsection 15.2(a) (Agreement to Arbitrate), Subsection 15.2(b) (Location) and Subsection 15.2(c) (Class Action Waiver) above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 712 Bancroft Road #925, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, Attn: Legal. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first access or use of the Services; otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of those Subsections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by such provisions.
(f) Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration or Class Action Waiver. For Disputes not subject to the “Agreement to Arbitrate” set forth in Section 14.2(a) (Agreement to Arbitrate), or if any court or arbitrator determines that the “Class Action Waiver” set forth in Section 14.2(c) (Class Action Waiver) is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms shall be the federal or state courts in San Francisco, California, and you expressly consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts.
