- DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; & WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). THIS SECTION MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT HOW CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST TIVLY, OR CLAIMS TIVLY MAY HAVE AGAINST YOU, WILL BE RESOLVED. THIS SECTION MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. THIS SECTION ALSO CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR FINAL BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PROCEED IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (COLLECTIVELY, “CLASS ACTION”) IN ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION.
THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION ALSO ADDRESSES THAT YOU AND TIVLY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION SUBJECT TO THE LIMITED EXCLUSION BELOW. IN ARBITRATION, DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.
For the purposes of this Section, the terms “Tivly,” “our,” “we,” or “us” include CommercialInsurance.Net LLC, its subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as any of their respective present or future affiliates or subsidiaries, and any persons or entities (including agents, representatives, or employees) related to Tivly or its present or future affiliates or subsidiaries.
Most customer concerns can be resolved by contacting us at 1-877-907-5267. In the event Customer Service is unable to resolve a complaint to your satisfaction, this Section explains how any Dispute (as defined below) will be resolved.
(a) Arbitration Agreement. YOU AND TIVLY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES (DEFINED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT TIVLY AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, EITHER PARTY MAY ELECT TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS HEARD IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND IS NOT REMOVED OR APPEALED TO A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION AND ADVANCES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS ACTION BASIS). ANY DISPUTE OVER WHETHER CLAIMS QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT IS FOR THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT TO DECIDE IN THE FIRST INSTANCE AND, IF NECESSARY, FOR A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO DECIDE.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
You and Tivly agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this Arbitration Agreement and govern all questions as to whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration.
For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall include, but is not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Tivly that are related in any way to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, your use of the Site, sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, and/or any communication between you and Tivly that occur on the Site, even if the Dispute arises after the termination of your relationship with Tivly. “Dispute," however, does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property, which shall not be subject to arbitration or the notice and informal process described below. The arbitrator shall decide all issues except for: (a) those that are specifically reserved for a court herein; (b) those issues relating to the scope, validity, and enforceability of the Arbitration agreement or any of the provisions of this Section; (c) any issues arising from or relating to the arbitrability of any Dispute; and (d) whether arbitration administrator cannot or will not administer the arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement – all of which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. This Agreement and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency.
(b) Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Informal Dispute Resolution. You and Tivly agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, you and Tivly agree to engage cooperatively to try and resolve any Dispute informally prior to you or Tivly initiating an arbitration proceeding.
The party initiating the Dispute, whether it be you or Tivly, must first send a written notice to the other party providing a detailed description of the Dispute, including at least the following information: (1) the initiating party’s name and contact information (address, telephone number, email address, and account number if applicable); (2) sufficient information to enable you or Tivly to identify any transaction at issue (including any receipts or purchase details); (3) the nature and basis of the Dispute and any claims; and (4) the nature and basis of the relief sought (including a calculation of any damages). Your notice to us must be personally signed by you (and your attorney if you are represented by legal counsel). Our notice to you must be personally signed by a Tivly’s representative (and our attorney if we are represented by legal counsel).
Your notice to Tivly must be sent to PO BOX 721946, Oklahoma City, OK 73171. Our notice to you must be sent to the most recent contact information that you have provided to us.
The initiating party must allow the other party 60 days to respond and attempt to resolve the Dispute amicably before initiating an arbitration or other proceeding per the terms set forth below.
For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a completed notice from the other party, you and we will work together using reasonable efforts to try to resolve the Dispute. If requested by us in connection with a notice initiated by you, you agree to personally participate in an individualized, telephone dispute resolution conference (and if you are represented by an attorney, your attorney may also participate) in a good-faith effort to resolve informally the Dispute. If requested by you in connection with a notice initiated by us, we agree to have a Tivly representative personally participate in an individualized, telephone dispute resolution conference (and if Tivly is represented by counsel, Tivly’s counsel may also participate) in a good-faith effort to resolve informally the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within this 60-day period (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you or we may commence arbitration consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating arbitration, and the arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration demand filed before completion of this informal dispute resolution process. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution.
If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any arbitration shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration or the assessment or payment of arbitration fees. You or we may also elect to raise non-compliance with this informal dispute resolution process and seek relief in arbitration.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Procedures; Individualized Relief; Fees. To commence an arbitration proceeding, you must file an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and serve a courtesy copy to Tivly at PO BOX 721946, Oklahoma City, OK 73171 or we must file an arbitration demand with the AAA and serve a courtesy copy on you at the most current address we have on file. The arbitration demand must be accompanied by a certification of completion of the informal dispute resolution process and a copy of the notice. The arbitration demand and certification must be personally signed by you or your attorney, if you are represented by legal counsel (if you are initiating arbitration) or by a Tivly’s representative or our attorney, if we are represented by legal counsel (if we are initiating arbitration). By filing an arbitration demand, the party and its attorney initiating the arbitration represent that to the best of their information, knowledge, and belief, formed after a reasonable inquiry that: (a) the arbitration demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (b) the claims or other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (c) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The arbitrator is expressly authorized to impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 on represented parties and their counsel.
The arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its applicable rules, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with the AAA Rules as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, the parties shall agree on an administrator that will do so. If the parties cannot agree on an administrator, they shall jointly petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator that will administer the arbitration consistent with the AAA Rules as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. Payment of all arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. Tivly will consider a request to reimburse the consumer filing fee upon a demonstration of hardship. You and we agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the fees and costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you or we may elect to engage with the AAA regarding fees, and you and we agree that the parties (and your and our counsel, if you and we are represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply this Agreement as a court would and will adjudicate any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record only. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the arbitrator after entry of an award. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON. ADDITIONALLY, YOU AND TIVLY AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD INDIVIDUAL RELIEF AVAILABLE IN COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES, DECLARATORY, INJUNCTIVE, OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S PARTICULAR CLAIM. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT ISSUE A “PUBLIC INJUNCTION.” THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS. IF, FOR ANY REASON, A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION HOLDS THAT THESE RESTRICTIONS ARE UNENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF (SUCH AS A REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF), AND ALL APPEALS FROM THAT DECISION HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED (OR THE DECISION IS OTHERWISE FINAL), THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF MAY PROCEED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BUT SHALL BE STAYED PENDING ARBITRATION OF ALL REMAINING CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF.
(d) Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. If twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Tivly by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated, you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed. You also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process and application of the AAA Consumer Mass Arbitration and Mediation Fee Schedule. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Tivly shall each select five (5) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial ten (10) proceedings, each side shall select another five (5) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This staged process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this Dispute Resolution section from the time of the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Tivly.
(e) Jury Trial Waiver; Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND TIVLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND TIVLY ALSO EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO HEAR, ARBITRATE, OR ADMINISTER ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. AN ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF TO THE INDIVIDUAL SEEKING RELIEF IN ARBITRATION AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S CLAIM, AND ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER TIVLY USERS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT ISSUE A “PUBLIC INJUNCTION.” THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS AGREEMENT, THIS WAIVER DOES NOT PREVENT YOU OR TIVLY FROM PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS-WIDE, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.
