DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION

Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your business address or disputes in which you seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to this Trial Agreement or the SeekOut Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against SeekOut or relating in any way to the SeekOut Services (each, a ”Dispute”), you agree to first contact SeekOut and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a written notice of your claim (a “Notice”) by email at legal@seekout.com or by certified mail addressed to SeekOut Legal Department, 1100 112th Ave NE, Suite 150, Bellevue, WA 98004. The Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If we cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either Party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one (1) arbitrator, with arbitration proceedings held in King County, Washington, USA. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or this Trial Agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules is available on the JAMS website and is hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) by sending an email to legal@seekout.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

Severability. If any portion of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Trial Agreement; and (ii) such severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) or the Parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration). Further, if any part of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration) will be enforceable.

No Waiver. Any waiver of the provisions of this Trial Agreement or of a Party’s rights or remedies under this Trial Agreement must be in writing to be effective.
