10. Dispute Resolution
10.1 Overview
Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights and contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
10.2 Applicability
All claims and disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App — other than claims for injunctive or equitable relief, and those listed as exceptions below — that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration. This applies to you, Company, and all affiliates, successors, assigns, agents, and authorized or unauthorized beneficiaries.
10.3 Informal Resolution Required
Before initiating arbitration, the disputing party must send a written Notice of Dispute to the other party describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought. Notices to Company must be sent to: Profferfish, LLC, ATTN: Legal, 9520 Ormsby Station Rd, Louisville, KY 40223. The parties have 30 days after receipt of the Notice to attempt informal resolution before arbitration may begin.
10.4 Arbitration Rules
Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at American Arbitration Association® (AAA) | Official Site or 1-800-778-7879. A single, neutral arbitrator will preside. For claims under $10,000, non-appearance arbitration (by phone, online, or written submissions) is available at the election of the claiming party. For claims of $10,000 or more, the right to a hearing is governed by the AAA Rules. Hearings, if required, shall be held within 100 miles of your residence (if within the U.S.).
If the arbitrator awards you more than Company last settlement offer before arbitration, Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500. Each party bears its own attorneys fees and shares ADR Provider costs equally.
10.5 Waiver of Jury Trial
THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION. IN ANY PERMITTED COURT PROCEEDING, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY, WITH DISPUTES TO BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE.
10.6 Class Action Waiver
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ACTIONS AND CONSOLIDATED OR JOINT PROCEEDINGS ARE NOT PERMITTED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
10.7 Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration, including the award, shall be kept strictly confidential, except as required by law or to enforce an arbitration award or seek equitable relief.
10.8 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following claims are not subject to this arbitration agreement: defamation, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other partys patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets. Either party may seek emergency equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
10.9 Governing Law and Venue
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to conflict of law principles. For any matters not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky.
