ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION OR SERVICES, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. This binding arbitration provision applies to any and all claims that you have against us, our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, and against all of our and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, employees, agents, or assigns, or that we have against you; it also includes any and all claims regarding the applicability of this arbitration clause or the validity of the Agreement, in whole or in part. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Commercial Rules”) (including, if appropriate, the Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes and the International Commercial Arbitration Supplementary Procedures and the Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations]. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the terms of this Agreement and/or these arbitration provisions in paragraph w hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of the Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our Chief Compliance Officer at 6500 River Place Blvd, Bldg. 4 Suite 102, Austin, TX 78730. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the applicable rules or by mutual agreement between you and Reliant. The arbitration shall be held: (i) at a location in the county that you reside; (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Reliant; or (iii) at your election, by telephone, based on written submissions. The arbitrator (i) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Texas or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; and (ii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or changes in the Agreement, and the relationship between you and us concerning the Agreement; and (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any similar proceeding initiated by you or on your behalf.
x. Applicable Law and Venue. By using any Reliant product, application, and/or service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Reliant. In the event that the binding arbitration clause in paragraph w above is found to be invalid, you and Reliant agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas to resolve any dispute or claim arising from this Agreement and/or any dispute between yourself and Reliant.
y. Waiver of Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND RELIANT AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IT BE BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND RELIANT AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION YOU AND RELIANT EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND RELIANT ALSO BOTH AGREE THAT YOU OR RELIANT MAY BRING SUIT IN COURT TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.
z. Limitation of Time to Bring Claims. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
