Please take your time reading this Arbitration Agreement. It's part of your deal with Company and affects your rights. It has rules for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION and a way to avoid a class action.
How the Arbitration Agreement Works. All claims and disagreements about the Terms or the use of any product or service offered by the Company that can't be solved directly or in small claims court will be settled by binding arbitration on an individual basis, according to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless both sides agree otherwise, all arbitrations must be done in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, as well as any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, heirs in interest, and assigns, as well as all authorised or unauthorised users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
Requirements for giving notice and settling a dispute informally. Before either party can ask for arbitration, it must send the other party a written Notice of Dispute that explains the nature and reason of the claim or dispute and the type of relief that is being asked for. Send a message to the Company at support@sounds-board.com. After you have gotten the Notice, you and the Company can try to settle the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Company don't settle the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days of receiving the Notice, either party can start an arbitration process. The amount of any deal offer made by either side can't be told to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has decided how much each side should get.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration must be started through the American Arbitration Association, which has been around for a long time and offers arbitration in the ways described in this part. If AAA isn't ready to arbitrate, both sides must agree on a different ADR provider. All parts of the arbitration will be based on the rules of the ADR Provider, unless those rules go against the Terms. The arbitration is based on the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, which can be found online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. One neutral person will be in charge of the hearing. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) can be settled through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the choice of the party seeking relief. The right to a hearing will be decided by the Arbitration Rules for claims or cases where the total amount of the award sought is US $10,000.00 or more. Any hearing will take place within 100 miles of your home, unless you live outside the United States or if all sides agree to something else. If you live outside the U.S., the arbitrator must give you and the other party as much warning as possible of the date, time, and place of any oral hearings. Any court that has the right to do so can make a decision based on the arbitrator's decision. If the judge gives you an award that is higher than the last settlement offer the Company made to you before the arbitration started, the Company will pay you the higher of the award or $2,500.00. Each side is responsible for its own costs and expenses related to the arbitration, and each side pays an equal amount of the ADR Provider's fees and expenses.
More rules for arbitration based on not being there. If non-appearance-based arbitration is chosen, it will be done by phone, online, or based solely on written entries. The person who starts the arbitration will choose how it will be done. Unless the parties agree otherwise, neither they nor any witnesses have to show up in person at the hearing.
Time Limits. If you or the Company wants to go to arbitration, the case must be started and/or asked for before the statute of limitations runs out and before any deadlines set by the AAA Rules for the claim in question.
Power of the Arbitrator. If arbitration is started, the judge will decide what your rights are and what the Company's responsibilities are. The dispute will not be merged with any other issues or cases, nor will it be joined with any other parties. The arbitrator will be able to agree to moves that end all or part of any claim. The arbitrator can give monetary losses and any other non-monetary remedy or relief that a person is entitled to under the law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will write up an award and a statement of decision that explains the main facts and conclusions that led to the award. The mediator has the same power as a judge in a court of law to give each person the help they need. The arbitrator's decision is final and you and the Company have to follow it.
Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties give up their constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Instead, they agree that all claims and disputes will be settled by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Most of the time, arbitration rules are more limited, faster, and cheaper than court rules, and a court has very little power to look over them. If there is a lawsuit between you and the Company in a state or federal court to overturn or enforce an arbitration decision or for any other reason, YOU AND THE COMPANY GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL and choose to have the dispute decided by a judge instead.
Giving up a Class or Combined Action. All claims and issues covered by this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or taken to court on an individual basis, not as a group. Also, claims from more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or taken to court together or with claims from other customers or users.
Confidentiality. The review process will be completely private in every way. The sides agree to keep the information secret unless the law says otherwise. This paragraph does not stop a party from giving a court of law any information needed to enforce this Agreement, an arbitration decision, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability: If a court of law decides that any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are invalid or can't be enforced, then that part or those parts will have no force or effect and will be cut out, but the rest of the Agreement will still be in full force and effect.
Right to Drop Out. The party against whom the claim is made can give up any or all of the rights and limits set out in this Arbitration Agreement. No other part of this Arbitration Agreement will be changed or waived because of this.
Agreements that Last. Even if your relationship with Company ends, this Arbitration Agreement will still be in effect.
Court for small claims. Despite all of this, you or the Company can still bring a separate case to small claims court.
Emergency Equitable Relief. Any way you look at it, either side can ask a state or federal court for emergency equitable relief to keep things the same until arbitration. A request for temporary measures does not mean that any other rights or responsibilities under this Arbitration Agreement have been given up.
Claims That Can't Be Arbitrated. In spite of what has been said, this Arbitration Agreement does not cover claims of slander, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets.
If the above Arbitration Agreement says that the parties can go to court, the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts in Netherlands County, California, for these reasons.

All of the Terms. These Terms are the whole deal between you and us about how you can use the Site. If we don't use or implement a right or rule in these Terms, that doesn't mean we're giving up on that right or rule. The names of the sections in these Terms are just for your convenience; they don't mean anything legally or contractually. "Including without limitation" is what the word "including" means. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the other parts will still apply, and the invalid or unenforceable part will be changed so that it is legal and enforceable as much as the law allows. You are an independent contractor for Company, and neither of you is an agent or partner of the other. You can't assign, subcontract, delegate, or transfer these Terms or your rights and duties under them without the Company's written permission first. Any attempt to assign, subcontract, delegate, or transfer in violation of the above will be null and void. Company can give these Terms to anyone they want. All assignees must follow the terms and conditions set out in these Terms.
