23. Waiver and Severability

25. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

  1. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and rebel iQ each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact rebel iQ’ customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate, one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
  2. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and rebel iQ mutually agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement, or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and rebel iQ agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
  3. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and rebel iQ each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
  4. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.
  5. Modification to AAA Rules – Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient for you, rebel iQ agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option, (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in Orange County; (c) in any other location to which you and rebel iQ both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $25,000, by solely the submission of documents to the arbitrator.
  6. Modification of AAA Rules – Attorney’s Fees and Costs. You and rebel iQ agree that rebel iQ will be responsible for payment of the balance of any initial filing fee under the AAA Rules in excess of $200 for claims of $75,000 or less. You may be entitled to seek an award of attorney fees and expenses if you prevail in arbitration, to the extent provided under applicable law and the AAA rules. Unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or filed for the purpose of harassment, rebel iQ agrees it will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law or the AAA Rules, to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
  7. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis, and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
  8. Jury Trial Waiver. You and rebel iQ acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
  9. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and rebel iQ acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and rebel iQ both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and you and rebel iQ agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any arbitrable claims in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
  10. Severability. Except as provided herein, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
  11. Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Preamble to this Agreement (“Changes to this Agreement”), if rebel iQ changes this Section (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of rebel iQ’ email to you notifying you of such change. Rejecting a new change, however, does not revoke or alter your prior consent to any earlier agreements to arbitrate any Dispute between you and rebel iQ (or your prior consent to any subsequent changes thereto), which will remain in effect and enforceable as to any Dispute between you and rebel iQ.
  12. Survival. Except as provided herein, this Section will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the Services or  terminate your account.

26. Miscellaneous

You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but rebel iQ may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. rebel iQ and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.
