11. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE: Any claim or dispute arising out of the Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, online, and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. You and Fettaya properties each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Fettaya properties, including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. In such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or AAA, in accordance with their applicable rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Agreement is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of New York as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York by New York residents. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and all of its rules and procedures, shall govern the Agreement to the extent that the FAA is inconsistent with New York law. The Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

  • Arbitration procedure:

    Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of this user agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (referred to as the "AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.
    • A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other party, by certified mail, a completed notice of disputes. You should send this notice to Fettaya properties at contact@ablatos.com . Fettaya properties will send any notice to you to the pysical address or email that we have on file associated with your Fettaya properties account; it is your responsibility to keep your address up to date. All information called for in the notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.

    • If you and Fettaya properties are unable to resolve the claims described in the notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, you or Fettaya properties may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org.

    • Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Fettaya properties will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Fettaya properties should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration, and Fettaya properties will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing a Claim, Fettaya properties will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse Fettaya properties for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Fettaya properties on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
