You and We acknowledge and agree that this arbitration undertaking is made pursuant to or in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq.), and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this arbitration agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Montana. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between You and Us, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between You and Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to interactions between Merchants, Professionals, Campaign Owners, Contributors, Users, and third parties); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this Section are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.
By agreeing to these Terms, You acknowledge and agree that You will resolve any and all disputes with Us as follows:
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For any and all disputes, claims, or controversies You may have against Us (“Disputes”), whether pursued in court or arbitration, You must first give Us an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting Us through this link https://Luxauro.com/contact or https://TFEmpires.com/contact with the following information:
Your name and email address;
A brief written description of Your claim; and
A brief description of the specific relief that You are seeking.
If we do not resolve the Dispute within forty-five (45) days after receiving Your notification, then You may pursue resolution of the Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue Your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
Arbitration Procedures:
If the Dispute has not been resolved and is not subject to the exclusions provided above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve all Disputes, subject to the terms set forth below.
All Disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association.
To initiate an arbitration, You must do the following:
File a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association;
Pay the administrative filing fee; and
Provide a copy of the applicable arbitration agreement from the parties’ contract which provides for arbitration.
Location of Arbitration: The arbitration shall be initiated in Helena, Montana Either party may ask that the arbitration including the hearings, arguments, and all conferences be conducted telephonically or by video conference.
Exclusivity of Arbitration. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall possess the exclusive authority in resolving any and all disputes that may arise out of or relate to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, Additional Policies, or the Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms, Additional Policies, or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrators’ award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
Should the provisions of this arbitration agreement be amended after the first date in which you use the Application then you may reject the amendment by sending us a message at https://luxauro.com/contact/ or https://tfempires.com/contact/, accordingly, these Terms will continue to be arbitrated by the same rules as when you first used the Application.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND THE TORQUEFORM TRIBRID ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A LEAD OR REPRESENTATIVE CLASS PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. HOWEVER, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED, UPON REQUEST BY EITHER PARTY, IF SUCH SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TRANSACTION(S) OR OCCURRENCE(S). CONSOLIDATION MEANS THAT ANY AND ALL SEPARATELY INITIATED ARBITRATIONS THAT RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF THE SAME OR SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TRANSACTION(S) OR OCCURRENCE(S) ARE ALL HEARD IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION. IF EITHER PARTY REQUESTS CONSOLIDATION OF MULTIPLE ARBITRATIONS, THEN THE PARTIES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CASE(S) WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THEIR RIGHT TO DESIGNATE AN ARBITRATOR AS WELL AS ANY CONTRACTUAL PROVISION WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE OF THE ARBITRATION.
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN REQUESTING A CONSOLIDATION OF ARBITRATIONS:
The arbitrations have a common question of law or fact;
The issues in the multiple arbitrations are largely identical;
There are common claims, disputes, defenses, and relationships between or among the parties in the different arbitrations;
One or more parties is named in multiple pending arbitrations;
The arbitrations relate to the same campaign featured on Our platform;
Consolidation will save time and resources;
One party will be seriously prejudiced by having multiple arbitrations heard separately.
By agreeing to Our Terms, You waive Your right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. We also waive these rights.
Exclusions from Arbitration: Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve Disputes through arbitration, either party may (1) bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to misuse, infringement, or misappropriation of intellectual property theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights; and/or (2) seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
Thirty-Day (30) Right to Opt-Out: Users may choose to opt out in order to not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions that are described above by sending an email from your registered email address on the TorqueForm Tribrid to Us at https://Luxaruo.com/contact/ or https://TFEmpires.com/contact/ with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” Your opt-out email must contain the required language and must be sent to Us within thirty (30) days of the later of: (i) the creation of Your User account or Your first transaction on the TorqueForm Tribrid; or (ii) the date of Our notifying you through email of a material change to this Section. If You choose to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provision, You will have the ability to pursue any potential claims in a court of law and you can participate in a class action or other class proceeding. If Your email expressing Your desire to opt out is improperly filled out or is missing necessary information, then You must arbitrate. If You do choose to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions, We also will not be subject to these provisions in regards to any disputes with You.
Severability: If any part of this Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then that part will be removed from these Terms and/or will be considered changed, only to the amount required to make it compliant with the law. Any invalidity will not affect the enforceability of any of the other remaining valid and enforceable provisions of these Terms. To make the modification of this part, the part will be considered deleted, added to, and/or rewritten, and the parties’ intentions as expressed in these Terms will be preserved as much as possible.
Choice of Law: The Terms and the relationship established between You and Us shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Montana, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. This “Arbitration, Dispute Resolution, and Class Action Waiver” section survives any termination of Your account, these Terms, or the Platform Services.TOr
We are based in Montana. For any action not subject to arbitration, You and We agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court located in Helena, Montana or the United States District Court for the District of Montana.
