12. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY:

Please read this Section carefully.  It is part of your contract with Mutual and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

12.1.  Mandatory Binding Arbitration. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12, the exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof) or the Service shall be binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)(this “Arbitration Agreement”).  You may not under any circumstances commence or maintain against Mutual any class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.    

12.2  Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  Any Notice for Mutual should be sent via email to Mutual at: [email protected].  After the Notice is received, you and Mutual may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and Mutual do not resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.  

12.3.  Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules.  The AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms.  The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator who is a lawyer with at least 15 years of experience handling contractual disputes.  The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties, or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by AAA.  The place of the arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 USD or more, or if injunctive relief is sought, the right to a hearing may be demanded by either party.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The cost of the arbitration including the arbitrator and administrative fees shall be borne equally by each party, and each party shall be responsible for its own expenses and attorneys’ fees and costs.  

12.4. Non-appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

12.5.  Time Limits. If you or Mutual pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules for the pertinent claim.

12.6.  Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Mutual, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, and these Terms.  The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Mutual.  

12.7.  Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court.  In the event any litigation should arise between you and Mutual in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, to avoid arbitration, or otherwise, YOU AND MUTUAL WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.  You agree that any such litigation shall only be heard in a state or federal court in Salt Lake City, Utah.  

12.8.  Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  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 BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

12.9.  Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.  This Section shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce these Terms, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.  

12.10.  Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.  A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

12.11.  Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  

13. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

Any claim or dispute between you and Mutual that arises in whole or in part from your use of the Service or in connection with the Privacy Policy will be governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without any regard to any conflicts of law provisions.  In any circumstances where the Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Salt Lake City, Utah, for such purpose, and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.  The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

14. INDEMNITY BY YOU

You agree to indemnify and hold Mutual and its directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorney's fees, made by any third party arising out of your breach of or failure to comply with these Terms (including any breach of your representations and warranties contained herein), any of Your Content, and your violation of any law or regulation.  Mutual reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter that is subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Mutual in connection therewith.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with Partners and other users of the Service. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, you hereby release Mutual from any and all claims or liability related to any product or service of a Partner, regardless of whether such product or service is an Item or Voucher available through the Service, any action or inaction by a Partner, including, without limitation, but not limited to any harm caused to you by action or inaction of a Partner, a Partner’s failure to comply with applicable law and/or failure to abide by the terms of a Partner Offering or any other product or service purchased or obtained by you from the Partner, and any conduct or speech, whether online or offline, of any other third-party.

15.  MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICE

Mutual reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any or all parts of the Service with or without notice.  You agree that Mutual shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.  To protect the integrity of the Service, Mutual reserves the right at any time in its sole discretion to block users from using the Service.

16.  EXPORT CONTROL

You acknowledge and agree that the Service is subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States.  You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer the Service, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.

17. NOTICES  

Mutual may provide you with notices using any reasonable means now known or hereafter developed, including by email, text message or App-based messages or notifications.  Such notices may not be properly routed to or received by you if you use the Service in an unauthorized manner.  You agree that you are deemed to have received any notices that would have been delivered had you used the Service as permitted under these Terms. You consent to receiving communications from Mutual in electronic form, and agree that these Terms and all notices, disclosures, additional terms and conditions, and other communications that Mutual provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were made in writing.  

18. MISCELLANEOUS

These Terms, including the Mutual Privacy Policy and any additional terms disclosed and agreed to by you if you purchase or use additional features or services we offer through the Service, contains the entire agreement between you and Mutual regarding your use of the Service.  You agree that your online account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your profile or contents within your account terminate upon your death.  No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you may not make any representations or bind Mutual in any manner.  These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Mutual without restriction.  Mutual’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision.  If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited to, the Arbitration Agreement, warranty disclaimers or liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.
