13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

13.1 Generally

Except as described in Section 13.2 (Exceptions) and 13.3 (Opt-Out), you and Asari agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Privacy Policy, any Additional Terms (defined below), this Site, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ASARI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

13.2 Exceptions

Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to:

• bring an individual action in small claims court;
• pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available;
• seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or
• file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

13.3 Opt-Out

If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Asari AI Inc, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 5214F Diamond Heights Blvd, #3575, San Francisco, CA 94131 that specifies: your full legal name, your contact information, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Asari receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 14.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

13.4 Arbitrator

This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting Asari.

13.5 Commencing Arbitration

Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Asari’s address for Notice is: Asari AI Inc, 5214F Diamond Heights Blvd, #3575, San Francisco, CA 94131. The Notice of Arbitration must:

• identify the name or account number of the party making the claim;
• describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and
• set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).

The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Asari may commence an arbitration proceeding. The payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules.

13.6 Arbitration Proceedings

Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted:

• solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator;
• through a telephonic or video hearing; or
• by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Asari must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

13.7 Arbitration Relief

Except as provided in Section 13.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Asari before an arbitrator was selected, Asari will pay to you the higher of:

• the amount awarded by the arbitrator; and
• US$10,000.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

13.8 No Class Actions

YOU AND ASARI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

13.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision

If Asari makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Asari’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Asari will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

13.10 Enforceability

If Section 13.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if Asari receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14.2 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

14. Miscellaneous

14.1 General Terms

These Terms, including the Privacy Policy available at https://asari.ai/privacy (the “Privacy Policy”) and any Additional Terms (defined below), are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Asari regarding your use of the Site. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word “including” means “including but not limited to”. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.

14.2 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
