Agreement to Arbitrate and Waiver of Class Action Claims

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

If a dispute arises, our goal is to provide you a neutral and efficient method to resolve it quickly.  Most disputes can be resolved informally.  Before filing a claim against, you agree to try to resolve the dispute by contacting us in writing at Brighca Corporate Office, ATTN: DISPUTE NOTICE, 14752 Beach Blvd Suite #103, La Mirada, CA 90638, USA or by email to help@brighca.com . Before we file a claim against you, we agree to contact you at the email address associated with your Account.  If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of notice, either you or we may bring a formal proceeding pursuant to the following procedures:

YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND BRIGHCA WILL RESOLVE THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO BRIGHCA, INCLUDING THESE TERMS (collectively, “ARBITRAL CLAIMS”), with a few exceptions set forth below.  The arbitrator, and not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration.

 

ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT.  THE RULES, INCLUDING DISCOVERY, ARE DIFFERENT AND NO JUDGE OR JURY IS PRESENT AT AN ARBITRATION.  IN SOME INSTANCES, THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION COULD EXCEED THE COST OF LITIGATION, AND THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED.  THE AWARD IS FINAL AND BINDING AND SUBJECT ONLY TO LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, YOU MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

  1. ARBITRATION SERVICES AND RULES. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration using the AAA procedures and rules in effect on the date the Arbitration is filed (“AAA Rules”).  In the event the AAA Rules are inconsistent with this Agreement to Arbitrate, this Agreement will prevail.  AAA is independent from us, and you may obtain copies of the current AAA Rules, and other related materials, including forms and instructions for initiating arbitration, by contacting AAA at 150 N Michigan Ave #3050, Chicago, Il 60601 or http://adr.org.
  2. LOCATION OF ARBITRATION. If your claim is for $7,500 or less, 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, and any in-person hearing will be held in Irvine, California, or any other location you and we mutually agree to.
  3. EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRAL CLAIMS. Either you or we may bring claims to enforce intellectual property rights without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution described in this Section.
  4. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND BRIGHCA 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.  YOU FURTHER AGREE WITH US THAT NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL JOIN ANY ARBITRAL CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY IN A LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING; THAT NO ARBITRAL CLAIM WILL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS; THAT NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL ASSET AN ARBITRAL CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHGALF OF ANYONE ELSE; AND BOTH PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
  5. NO RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE ALSO HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL EVEN IF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS HELD NOT TO APPLY.  YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN THE EVNET THAT EITHER PARTY SELECTS ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
  6. 30 DAY OPT OUT RIGHT. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and the class action waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Brighca, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out, 14752 Beach Blvd Suite #103, La Mirada, CA 90638, USA or by email to help@brighca.com .  For new users, the notice must be sent within 30 days of registration with Brighca, and for existing users, the notice must be sent within 30 days of the effective date of this policy.  If you do not opt-out, you shall be bound to the terms in this section.  If you choose to opt-out, Brighca also will not be bound.

 

California User Consumer Rights

In accordance with Cal. Civ. Code Sec. 1789.3, California state resident users may file grievances and complaints with the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 400 R Steet, Suite 1080, Sacramento, CA 95814; or by call at 916.445.1254 or 800.952.5210; or by email to dca@dca.ca.gov.

General

  • Severability and Waiver. If any part of the Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting yours and our intent as closely as possible.  Either party’s failure to enforce any term or condition in the Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.
  • Governing law, Jurisdictio and Venue. Except to the extent preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), the Terms are governed by California law without regard to conflict of law provisions.  Except as provided above, or to the extent preempted by the FAA, both parties further consent to the personal jurisdiction of and exclusive venue in the federal and state courts in Orange County, California, as the legal forum for any dispute between them.
  • Change Policy. The Terms may be updated from time to time.  If we make material changes, we will attempt, but not obligated, to provide advance notice to you either by email, by posting a notification on Brighca or by posting an updated set of Terms on Brighca at least 30 days in advance of the effective date of the updated Terms.  Please note that unless otherwise provided by applicable law, your continued use of Brighca following the effective date means that you agree with, and consent to be bound by, the updated Terms.
  • These Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersede all previous written and oral agreements relating to the subject matters of the Terms.  If there is any conflict between the Terms and any additional terms, conditions, and rules posted by us on Brighca, the Terms shall govern, unless otherwise indicated.  Sections of the Terms which by their nature should survive any termination of the Terms will so survive.
