SECTION 11: DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE CLAIMS HEARD BY A JURY OR AS PART OF A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

 

11.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact Goldsand Friedberg at info@goldsandfriedberg.com and provide a written description of the dispute, the relief sought, and your contact information. The parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for a period of thirty (30) days from the date Goldsand Friedberg receives your written notice (the "Informal Resolution Period"). If the dispute is not resolved within the Informal Resolution Period, either party may proceed to arbitration as set forth below. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to initiating arbitration.

​

11.2 Binding Arbitration

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.4 (EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION), YOU AND GOLDSAND FRIEDBERG AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (A) THIS PRIVACY POLICY; (B) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE; (C) THE COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, OR HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; OR (D) ANY RELATIONSHIP OR DEALINGS BETWEEN YOU AND GOLDSAND FRIEDBERG (COLLECTIVELY, "DISPUTES"), SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT.

​

Arbitration is a method of dispute resolution in which a neutral arbitrator, rather than a judge or jury, decides the outcome of a dispute. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding and may only be reviewed by a court on very limited grounds.

 

(a) Arbitration Administrator and Rules. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section 11. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually agree upon an alternative arbitral forum. If the parties cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction shall select the arbitral forum.

​

(b) Arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single, neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any relief that would be available in court, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.

 

(c) Location and Manner. Unless the parties agree otherwise, arbitration shall be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or, if you prefer, via telephone, video conference, or document submission, in accordance with the AAA Rules. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, you may elect to conduct the arbitration solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.

​

(d) Fees and Costs. Payment of arbitration filing fees, administrative fees, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules, except that Goldsand Friedberg will pay your share of any fees that exceed the amount you would have paid had you filed the claim in small claims court. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party.

​

(e) Confidentiality. The arbitration proceedings and all submissions, filings, and decisions shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party, except as may be necessary to enforce the award, as required by law, or as otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.

​

(f) Award. The arbitrator shall issue a written reasoned decision explaining the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Any arbitration award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

​

(g) Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to info@goldsandfriedberg.com, with the subject line "ARBITRATION OPT-OUT," within thirty (30) days of the date you first access or use the Service or the date this Privacy Policy is first presented to you, whichever is earlier. Your opt-out notice must include your name, address, and the email address associated with your account, if any. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, all other provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply. Opting out will not affect your use of the Service or any other rights or obligations under this Privacy Policy.

​

11.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND GOLDSAND FRIEDBERG EACH IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, OR THE COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, OR HANDLING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LAW.

 

This waiver applies to all proceedings in any court, including any proceeding brought pursuant to Section 11.4 (Exceptions to Arbitration) or any proceeding to enforce, vacate, or modify an arbitration award. Each party acknowledges that this waiver is a material and independently bargained-for element of this dispute resolution agreement and that, absent this waiver, the parties would not have entered into this agreement.

​

11.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Disputes are excluded from the binding arbitration requirement:

• (a) Small Claims. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, provided that the claim is within the jurisdictional limits of that court and is brought and maintained on an individual basis only.

• (b) Injunctive or Equitable Relief. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve the status quo, prevent irreparable harm, or protect intellectual property rights, pending the resolution of the dispute through arbitration. The pursuit of such interim relief shall not constitute a waiver of either party's rights to arbitration.

• (c) Government Enforcement. Nothing in this Section 11 limits the right of any federal, state, or local government agency to seek relief on your behalf in its governmental capacity. Claims brought by or on behalf of a government entity are not subject to arbitration under this agreement.

​

11.5 CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WAIVER

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND GOLDSAND FRIEDBERG AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

​

Specifically:

(a) No Class Arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate the claims of more than one individual, to conduct class-wide arbitration, or to award relief to any person other than the individual claimant.

(b) No Representative Claims. You expressly waive any right to bring or participate in any representative action, including any action under California's Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") or any equivalent statute under any other state's law, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(c) Severability. If any portion of this class and representative action waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including with respect to any PAGA or other representative claims that cannot be waived under applicable law: (i) the unenforceable or unlawful portion shall be severed from this Section 11; (ii) any such PAGA or representative claim shall be stayed pending resolution of any remaining arbitrable individual claims; and (iii) the remainder of this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect.

​

11.6 Governing Law; Venue

This Privacy Policy and any Disputes that are not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 11.4 shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. For any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration, the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

​

11.7 Severability of Arbitration Agreement

If any provision of this Section 11 (other than the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver in Section 11.5) is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Section 11 shall continue in full force and effect. If the Class Action and Representative Action Waiver in Section 11.5 is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this Section 11 shall be null and void, and any Dispute shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 11.6, subject to the Jury Trial Waiver in Section 11.3 to the extent permitted by law.
