  12. Dispute Resolution/Arbitration. PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF THOSE TO WHOM YOU PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, SERVICES, AND YOUR ACCOUNT.
    1. Scope. Except as expressly provided below, Parties agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, a similar prior agreement, Your account, Your use of the Company’s Services, the Subscription(s), the Distributed Data, communications between You and the Company and its affiliates, or the relationship between You and the Company and its affiliates (including existing disputes and those occurring prior to the date of this Agreement) (collectively, “Claims”) will, at the election of either Party, be resolved by arbitration, including any dispute about arbitrability, such as scope, applicability, and enforceability. The right and obligation to arbitrate under this Section shall extend to all Claims, including those against or involving third parties such as the Company or its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, members, partners, subsidiaries, joint venturers, or contractors.
    2. Rules and Selection of Arbitrator. Except as expressly provided herein, any arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the applicable rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Should the AAA be unavailable, unable, or unwilling to accept and administer the arbitration of any claim under these arbitration provisions as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization, such as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”),, that will enforce the arbitration provisions as written. The Parties shall select an arbitrator according to a “strike and rank” procedure whereby the Parties: (a) will request and obtain a list of no less than five (5) arbitrators (subject the qualifications below); (b) within ten (10) days of service of an arbitrator list on the Parties, strike the names of two (2) proposed arbitrators; and (c) rank the remaining arbitrators in order of preference with number 1 being the most preferred ranking. The remaining arbitrator with the lowest aggregate ranking of preference shall be selected to serve. If the “rank and strike” procedure fails or results in a tie, the AAA (or a substitute arbitration organization) shall appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator will be a practicing attorney with significant expertise in litigating and/or presiding over cases involving the substantive legal areas involved in the dispute. The arbitration will be concluded within three months of the date the arbitrator is appointed.
    3. Federal Arbitration Act. Because the Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. More information about arbitration, including the Arbitration Rules, is available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. d) Offers. To the extent not inconsistent with the Arbitration Rules (or the rules of a substitute arbitration organization if the AAA is unavailable), Parties agree that either Party may serve upon the other a written offer to settle a Claim (“Settlement Offer”) for the money specified in the Settlement Offer and to enter an agreement dismissing the Claim. If the Company makes a Settlement Offer which is rejected by You, the Company shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Company (or on its behalf) from the date of the rejection of the Settlement Offer through the later of the entry of the arbitrator’s award or the subsequent confirmation of said award if the arbitrator’s award is one of no liability or the award obtained by You is less than 75 percent of such a Settlement Offer. If You make a Settlement Offer which is rejected by the Company and You obtain an arbitrator’s award in an amount greater than 125 percent of the Settlement Offer, You shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by You (or on your behalf) from the date of the rejection of the Settlement Offer through the later of the entry of the arbitrator’s award or the subsequent confirmation of said award.
    4. Written Notice. A Party that intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written notice of intent to arbitrate via email (delivery receipt requested), entitled “Notice of Intent to Arbitrate” (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: [support@tradersonly.com] (“26908 Ridgebrook Drive, Ste. 102. Wesley Chapel, FL 33544. The Notice must: (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, either Party may commence an arbitration proceeding under these terms.
    5. Exclusions and Limitations. The following matters will not be subject to arbitration but will instead be adjudicated in the appropriate court of the state where You are located: (a) an action to enforce intellectual property rights; (b) a suit by the Company, its affiliates, or their assignees for collection of amounts owed by You under this Agreement; and (c) any claim or dispute for which applicable law (as determined by a binding court decision) or the applicable arbitration rules do not permit arbitration and require adjudication in a specific civil court. Matters within the jurisdiction of an applicable small claims court may also be brought in such a court, instead of arbitration. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the substantially prevailing Party in any dispute between the Parties may recover their reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with such matter, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
    6. Class Waiver. You also agree that: (a) CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND THAT CLAIMS OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED ABSENT CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES; and (b) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY, EVEN FOR DISPUTES NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing sentence is intended to conflict with the provision of this Agreement regarding the batch resolution of 10 or more Requests (defined below).
    7. Appeal. If the arbitrator’s award exceeds $75,000, either Party may appeal such award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the AAA (or substitute arbitration organization) and selected according to the Arbitration Rules, by filing a written notice of appeal within 30 days after the date of entry of the arbitration award. The appealing Party must provide the other Party with a copy of such appeal concurrently with its submission of the appeals notice. The three-arbitrator panel must issue its decision within 120 days of the date of the appealing Party’s notice of appeal. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, except for any appellate right which may exist under the Federal Arbitration Act. The Parties may agree that arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator, via a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by AAA rules (or the rules of the substitute arbitration organization).
    8. Right to Opt Out. You can decline this arbitration agreement by timely writing via certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight delivery service that allows Parties to confirm both mailing and delivery to 26908 Ridgebrook Dr., Suite 102, Wesley Chapel, FL 33544 and providing the following information: (1) name; (2) address; (3) phone number; and (4) a clear statement that You wish to opt out of this arbitration agreement. To be effective, the opt-out notice must be mailed no later than 30 days after the date You become bound by the arbitration agreement. Please note that You will continue to be bound by any older arbitration provision that You did not out opt of and any arbitration provision that otherwise governs the Claims.
    9. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, Parties agree that in the event that there are ten (10) or more individual requests to arbitrate Claims of a substantially similar nature filed against the Company by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations within a reasonably close proximity (“Requests”), the arbitrator will: (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 10 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 10 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one unique arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”). All Parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the Parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing Party shall advise the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the Parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by the Company. Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitrator to implement the Batch Arbitration approach including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision. k) Severance and Severability. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced, except that if the class action waiver above is found unenforceable, the entirety of the arbitration provisions shall be void, other than the jury waiver provision. The foregoing arbitration provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
  13. Construction. Section headings and pronouns are included solely for convenient reference and shall not control the meaning or the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
  14. Entire Agreement. The Parties agree that this Agreement is the entire agreement regarding the subject matter discussed herein and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, or any other communications between them relating to the subject matter hereof.
  15. Modifications. The Parties agree that this Agreement cannot be changed by any oral statements. The Company may update this Agreement from time to time and/or present You with an updated Agreement, which You acknowledge shall replace and supersede any prior agreements. For avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that Your assent to a separate or updated agreement is valid and enforceable notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary.
  16. No Fraud or Reliance on Company Representations. You further acknowledge and agree that You entered into this Agreement based solely upon the terms contained within this Agreement and without relying upon any oral or written inducements, statements or representations by the Company or its agents or representatives that are not set forth in this Agreement.
  17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held for any reason to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect in that jurisdiction.
  18. Additional Acknowledgements. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT, HAD SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR CONTINUING WITH THE AGREEMENT, UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE USE OR RECEIPT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION, SERVICES, OR DISTRIBUTED DATA IS AN ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
