Dispute Resolution
15. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.
Summary:
Most or your concerns can be resolved quickly to your satisfaction by contacting our Customer Center via our Contact Us page. In the unlikely event that the Customer Care Center cannot resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or if DYgreencard has not been able to resolve a dispute with you after trying to do so informally, we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration rather than in court. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows less discovery than courts, and is subject to very limited court review. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis. Representative, group, collective or class actions or arbitrations are not permitted.
You may speak with your own lawyer before using the Site, purchasing any Services, but your use of the Site and the purchase of any Services constitutes your agreement to this Agreement.
Arbitration Agreement:
15.1.DYgreencard and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The kinds of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted, including but not limited to:
- claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class;
- claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising, or any other legal theory;
- claims that arose before these or any prior Agreement became effective; and
- claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “DYgreencard,” “you,” and “us” include our respective affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, agents, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Services under this Agreement or any prior agreements between us. This arbitration agreement does not preclude your 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 DYgreencard are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a representative, group, collective or class action or arbitration. You acknowledge that use of this Site and/or purchase of Services constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of this Agreement.
15.2. A party seeking arbitration under this Agreement must first send, by U.S. priority mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to DYgreencard should be addressed to: DYgreencard Inc., 1871 The Alameda Suite 150, San Jose CA 95126 (the “Notice Address”). DYgreencard may send a written Notice to the electronic mail address that you provided when you created an account, if any. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If DYgreencard and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or DYgreencard may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by DYgreencard or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or DYgreencard is entitled. You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the AAA website at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_1.pdf
15.3. You need to pay the arbitration fling fee when you file an arbitration demand form with AAA. The filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is currently $200, but this is subject to change by the arbitration provider. Except as otherwise provided herein, DYgreencard will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with this Agreement. 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 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 the DYgreencard for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. All arbitration proceeding will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 . The arbitrator is bound by this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless DYgreencard and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county or parish of the Notice Address. If your total claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephone hearing, or by an in-person hearing governed by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either by telephone or in person, DYgreencard may choose to respond only by written or telephone. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a telephone or in-person hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration under this Agreement, neither party will rely on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration to which DYgreencard was a party. In all cases, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, written decision sufficient to explain the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based.
15.4. If, the arbitrator finds in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of DYgreencard’ last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then DYgreencard will pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000 (“the Alternative Payment”), whichever is greater, plus the actual amount of reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses that you incurred in investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the “Attorney’s Payment”). If DYgreencard did not make you a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you will be entitled to receive the Alternative Payment and the Attorney’s Payment, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the Alternative Payment and the Attorney’s Payment at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney’s fees or expenses is greater than the value of DYgreencard’ last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall consider only the actual attorney’s fees or expenses reasonably incurred before DYgreencard’ settlement offer.
15.5. The right to attorney’s fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney’s fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. If you would be entitled to a larger amount under applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney’s fees or costs. Under some laws DYgreencard may have a right to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses from you if it prevails in arbitration, DYgreencard will seek such an award.
15.6.The arbitrator may award monetary and 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 THE DYGREENCARD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE, GROUP OR CLASS ACTION OR ARBITRATION, OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and DYgreencard agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, group or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor DYgreencard may seek nonindividualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. All other claims remain subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
15.7. If the total amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall be stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the appealing party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the FAA.
15.8. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, DYgreencard agrees that if DYgreencard make any material change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number), that change will not apply to any dispute of which DYgreencard had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if DYgreencard seeks to terminate this arbitration provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.
