Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms of Use or your use of the Sites, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Term of Use.  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS of USE, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. 

b. Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection a, you and Organization both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims. 

c. Arbitrator. Any arbitration pursuant to these Term of Use will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Term of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 , or by contacting Organization. 

d. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, and cannot obtain one, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Organization’s address for Notice is info@ignitemh.org and in the event you wish to contact us via postal mail we require a concurrent email of the same notice to be provided to info@ignitemh.org with the aforementioned postal address being 1321 Upland Dr PMB 12445, Houston, TX 77043 United States. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). You and Organization agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if you and Organization do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Organization commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Organization will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Organization will pay you (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Organization in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.00, whichever is greater. 

e. Fees. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Massachusetts, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Organization for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. 

f. No Class Actions. YOU AND ORGANIZATION AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Organization agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 

g. Modifications. In the event that Organization makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Organization’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Organization's address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive. 

h. Enforceability. If Section f or the entirety of this Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable, then the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in ‘Governing Law; Forum’ will govern any action arising out of or related to these Term of Use or your use of the Sites. 

Recourse hereunder against Organization and Organizations Affiliated Entities shall in no event exceed one hundred dollars ($100), and in no event shall include consequential, special or indirect damages, or claims for loss of profit or business. The foregoing limitations shall apply irrespective of whether the possibility of such damages has been disclosed to Organization or Affiliated Entities in advance or could have reasonably been foreseen by Organization or Organization’s Affiliated Entities. No Organization RESPECTIVE, DIRECTOR, OFFICERS, EQUITY HOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, VOLUNTEERS, or PROVIDERS shall be personally liable hereunder, and no recourse shall be held against any such party’s assets by reason of a breach of this Terms of Use by Organization or otherwise. 

This Terms of Use or Agreement is personal to you and shall not be assigned or transferred by you. 

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising of or related to this Terms of Use or Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred; provided, however, that in the event any statute or law prohibits the revision of the limitations period applicable to such claim or cause of action to such one (1) year, such period shall be revised to the shortest period of time allowable by such statute or law. This Terms of Use or Agreement may be executed via electronic transmission with the same effect as if executed on a document and as if the signature was an original.
