DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

GENERALLY. In the interest of resolving disputes between You and The After Cancer in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in sub-section of this section titled “Exceptions,” You and The After Cancer agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Service will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms of Service, 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 of Service. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND THE AFTER CANCER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes as described below, You agree that disputes arising under these Terms of Service will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND THE AFTER CANCER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend Your rights under these Terms of Service (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See the section titled "Dispute Resolution and Arbitration"). 

EXCEPTIONS. Despite the provisions of the subsection of this section titled “Generally,” nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. 

ARBITRATOR. Any arbitration between You and The After Cancer will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Service. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting The After Cancer. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. 

NOTICE OF ARBITRATION; PROCESS. A Party who intends to seek arbitration 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. The After Cancer’s address for Notice is:

The After Cancer Corporation

PO Box 30667, PMB 79909, Charlotte, North Carolina 28230

The After Cancer’s email address is: general@theaftercancer.com. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) 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 The After Cancer may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the Parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. 

FEES. Payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Orlando, Florida. If Your claim is for $10,000 or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. 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.

NO CLASS ACTIONS. YOU AND THE AFTER CANCER 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. Further, unless both You and The After Cancer agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 

ENFORCEABILITY. If the Section titled “No Class Actions” is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Section will be null and void and, in that case, the Parties agree that all disputes, claims, action or proceedings arising directly, indirectly, or otherwise in connection with, out of, related to or from these Terms of Service shall be litigated or arbitrated exclusively in a court or arbitration forum located in Orange County, FL, unless otherwise agreed by Us and You. You consent and submit to the jurisdiction of the State or Federal Court, or an arbitration forum within the Middle District of Florida. You waive any right You may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation or an arbitration forum hereunder. 

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. If The After Cancer makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to The After Cancer’s address for Notice of Arbitration, You may reject the change by sending Us written notice within 30 days of the change to The After Cancer’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case Your account with The After Cancer will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes You rejected will survive. 

CONFIDENTIALITY OF DISPUTES. Each Party agrees to maintain the confidential nature of all disputes and disagreements between them, including, but not limited to, informal negotiations, mediation, or arbitration, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct these dispute resolution procedures or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
