17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, INCLUDING AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL RIGHTS

17.1 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND EDSOMA WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT FOR ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND EDSOMA ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT ON IT, EDSOMA’S PRIVACY POLICY, OR THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION A CHALLENGE TO THE VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION IN THIS SECTION 17 (“Dispute”), and You and Edsoma consent to and agree that the exclusive forum for the resolution for any Dispute shall be binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Commercial Rules”) and as further provided in this Section 17.

17.1.1 Number of Arbitrators; Location of Arbitration. The arbitration between Edsoma and You under Section 17.1 shall be before one arbitrator, to be agreed to by You and Edsoma, and, in the event You and Edsoma cannot agree on the arbitrator within a reasonable time, to be appointed by AAA in accordance with the Commercial Rules. The arbitration hearing shall held in Austin, Texas, unless you are a natural person and attending an arbitration proceeding in Austin, Texas would impose an undue financial burden on You, in which case the location of the arbitration hearing shall be agreed upon by You and Edsoma and, if You and Edsoma cannot reach agreement on such location, at a location to be selected by AAA that is reasonable when accounting for the circumstances of both You and Edsoma.

17.1.2 Arbitrator’s Award. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on You and Edsoma and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction, subject to the rights, if any, of You and Edsoma under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 171.088 or § 171.088 or 9 U.S.C. § 10 or § 11 to petition a court to vacate, modify, or correct the award. The arbitrator’s award shall include an award to the party that prevails in the arbitration for all its reasonable fees, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of its attorneys, expert witnesses, and other consultants incurred in connection with the arbitration, as well as filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, or share thereof, for the arbitration; provided, however, that if a party to the arbitration prevails in part, and loses in part, the arbitrator shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis.

17.1.3 Fees and Costs of AAA and the Arbitrator. You and Edsoma shall be responsible for paying all filing, administration and arbitrator fees as provided by the AAA’s Commercial Rules, unless otherwise stated in this License Agreement. However, if You are a natural person and You are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration would be prohibitive to You as compared to the costs of litigating the Dispute in court, Edsoma will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration of the Dispute from being cost-prohibitive to You. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) You assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, You agree to reimburse Edsoma for all fees associated with arbitration paid by Edsoma on your behalf, which You otherwise would be obligated to pay under AAA’s Commercial Rules.

17.2 Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 17, for a Dispute within the small claims jurisdiction of the Travis County, Texas Justice of the Peace: You and Edsoma agree that the exclusive fora for resolution of such a Dispute is arbitration, as provided in this Section 17, or the small claims division of the Travis County, Texas Justice of the Peace; You and Edsoma consent to and agree to jurisdiction and venue in those fora and waive any objection to those fora based on forum non conveniens; and YOU AND EDSOMA WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

17.3 Except as provided in this Section 17.2, if for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and You and Edsoma agree and consent to jurisdiction and venue in those courts and waive any forum non conveniens objection with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.

17.4 IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 17, YOU AND EDSOMA AGREE THAT YOU AND EDSOMA MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER (WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT) ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A MEMBER OR REPRESENTATIVE IN OR OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IN ADDITION, YOU ALSO AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR CONSOLIDATED CLAIMS OR ACTIONS TO WHICH EDSOMA IS ALSO A PARTY AND THAT INVOLVE THE TERMS OF SERVICE, EDSOMA’S PRIVACY POLICY, OR THE SITE.
