Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

24.1.
Generally.
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and TAFI in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and TAFI agree that every dispute arising in connection with this EULA will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitratorinstead 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 this EULA, 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 this EULA. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS EULA, YOU AND TAFI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

24.2.
Exceptions.
Despite the provisions of Section 24.1, nothing in this EULA 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; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

24.3.
Arbitrator.
Any arbitration between you and TAFI will: (a) be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act; (b) be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this EULA; (c) be administered by the AAA; and (d) if an arbitration hearing is held, take place at a mutually-agreed location in Salt Lake County, Utah. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

24.4.
Notice; 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 such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). TAFI’s address for Notice is: TAFI, 224 south 200 west, Suite 250, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. The Notice 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 resolvethe claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or TAFI may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by youor TAFI must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a finaldecision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, TAFI will pay you the highest of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by TAFI in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.

24.5.
Decision.
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. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

24.6.
No Class Actions.
YOU AND TAFI 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. Furthermore, unless both you and TAFI agree otherwise, the arbitratormay not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

24.7.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision.
If TAFI makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to TAFI’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TAFI’s address for Notice, in which case your account with TAFI and your rights to the Service will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.24.8.Enforceability. If Section 24.6 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety ofthis Section 24 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 24 willbe null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22 will govern any action arising out of or related to this EULA.

25.
