IP Network Interruptions . You acknowledge and understand that the Services will not function in the event of an IP network interruption .
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION WITH ALTITUDE ISP BY BINDING ARBITRATION (PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.)
11.a Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly. In the unlikely event that ALTITUDE ISP's Customer Service Department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if ALTITUDE ISP has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitration and class actions are not permitted.
11.b Arbitration Agreement :
11.b.1.1. ALTITUDE ISP and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:
- Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
- Claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
- Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
- Claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
References to "ALTITUDE ISP", "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Services under this or prior Agreements between us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND ALTITUDE ISP ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
11.b.1.2. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to ALTITUDE ISP should be addressed to: Office for Dispute Resolution, ALTITUDE ISP, 1514 Austin Ave Suite A Waco, TX 76701 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If ALTITUDE ISP and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ALTITUDE ISP may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ALTITUDE ISP or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ALTITUDE ISP is entitled.
11.b.1.3. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association (" AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. (You may obtain information that is designed for non-lawyers about the arbitration process at alt.com/arbitration-information.) The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide. Unless ALTITUDE ISP and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in McLennan County, Texas. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by 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 award is based. Except as otherwise provided for herein, ALTITUDE ISP will pay all AAA filing , administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, 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 such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse ALTITUDE ISP for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition , if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.
11.b.1.a. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND ALTITUDE ISP 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 ALTITUDE ISP 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. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
11.b.1.b. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if ALTITUDE ISP makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to receiving Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above.
