ARBITRATION
Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Summary:

Business Assist (the "Company") hopes to make you a happy customer, but if there is an issue that needs to be resolved, this section describes how both us will proceed.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by calling our customer service department at 1-888-801-5043. In the unlikely event that the Company's customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if we have not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), you and the Company each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court, rather than proceeding in a court of general jurisdiction. You and the Company further agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted even if the arbitral body permits claims to proceed on a class wide basis.   

For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, the Company will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you are entitled to recover attorneys' fees from the Company to at least the same extent as you would be entitled to in court.

In addition, under the circumstances explained below, the Company will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator's award and the Company will pay your attorney (if any) twice his or her reasonable attorneys' fees, if the arbitrator awards you an amount that is greater than what the Company has offered you to settle the dispute.

Arbitration Agreement

References to "we," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services under this or prior agreements between us.

(1) Except for small claims court cases which would be governed by the local court in which you or the Company files a small claims lawsuit, you and the Company agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission, or the Better Business Bureau. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

(2) This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and our business relationship.

(3) YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.   The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. Further, unless both you and the Company 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.   If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

(4) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: PO Box 2136, Palm Harbor, FL 34682 ("Company Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If you and the Company are unable to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or the Company shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.

(5) After the Company receives notice at the Company Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $75,000.  The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address.   The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Company will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse the Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

(6) If, after finding in your favor-in any respect-on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the Company's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then the Company will:

  • pay you the amount of the award or $5,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater; and
  • pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration ("the attorney premium").

If the Company did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected and you prevailed on a non-frivolous claim, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney premium described above. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

(7) The right to attorneys' fees and expenses discussed in the preceding paragraph supplements any right to attorneys' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs.

(8)   If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and the Company agree that there will not be a jury trial.  You and the Company unconditionally waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim, arising out of or relating to this agreement in any way. 

(9)  You and the Company agree that if the Company makes any future change to this dispute resolution provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a customer, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Company's address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of the provision in effect prior to the proposed revision.
