16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION FOR UNITED STATES CUSTOMERS.
This Section 16 (the “US Arbitration Agreement”) only applies to customers who reside in the United States of America. It applies to all disputes between you and FREEON Corp. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim or controversy between you and FREEON Corp. or FREEON Corp. and you arising out of, or relating to, the Sites, Applications or Services, these Terms or your Account, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this US Arbitration Agreement. “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning. You agree that any Dispute between you and FREEON Corp. will be governed by the arbitration procedures outlined below.
(a). Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read this US Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with FREEON Corp. and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
i. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION. In the interest of resolving Disputes between you and FREEON Corp. in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and FREEON Corp. agree that every Dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead 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. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND FREEON Corp. ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
ii. Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms or this US Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) to seek temporary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction over the parties solely to preserve the status quo or to prevent imminent harm until an arbitrator can be empaneled in accordance with this US Arbitration Agreement and determine whether to continue, modify or terminate such relief; or (c) to seek judicial enforcement of this US Arbitration Agreement or of any arbitral award issued hereunder in any court of competent jurisdiction over the parties.
iii. Arbitrator. All Disputes subject to this US Arbitration Agreement will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and 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 these Terms and as then in effect, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting FREEON Corp.
iv. 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 commercial express delivery (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”), in your case to the email address you have provided as part of your Account. 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 resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or FREEON Corp. may commence an arbitration proceeding.
v. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York City, NY, USA, but if the claim is for $100,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a telephonic hearing.
vi. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND FREEON CORP. 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. Further, unless both you and FREEON Corp. 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.
vii. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If FREEON Corp. makes any future change to this US Arbitration Agreement, other than a change to FREEON Corp.'s address for notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to FREEON Corp.'s address for notice, in which case your Account with FREEON Corp. will be immediately terminated and this US Arbitration Agreement, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.
viii. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including, but not limited to, the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. You and FREEON Corp. agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This section shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce these Terms, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief as permitted herein.
ix. Survival of Agreement. This US Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with FREEON Corp.
(b). RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. You may opt out of the foregoing arbitration and class action waiver provisions of these Terms by NOTIFYING FREEON Corp. IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT THESE TERMS ARE EFFECTIVE UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. To opt out, you must send a written notification to FREEON Corp. Attn: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, WellPark Office BD, 32, Migeumil-ro 90beon-gil, Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea, that includes (i) your name; (ii) your address; (iii) your telephone number; (iv) your email address; and (v) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action waiver sections.
