- Binding Arbitration
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Platform or any services in respect thereof that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis ("Disputes"), except that Creator and Vibez are not required to arbitrate any dispute for enforcement of the indemnification clause ("Excluded Disputes"). Any and all Disputes relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with Creator’s rights of privacy and publicity are not Excluded Disputes.
- Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any Disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For Disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum's rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
- Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of Creator and Vibez. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and this Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon Creator and Vibez.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. CREATOR AND VIBEZ WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, OTHER THAN IN RESPECT OF EXCLUDED DISPUTES. Creator and Vibez are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between Creator and Vibez over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, CREATOR AND VIBEZ WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CREATOR OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CREATOR, BRAND OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither Creator nor Vibez are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 12.12 below.
- Confidentiality. No part of the procedures will be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order, or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information needed to enforce this arbitration agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
- Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.
- Opt-out. Creator may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If Creator does so, neither Creator nor Vibez can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, Creator must notify Vibez in writing no later than thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Agreement. Creator’s notice must include Creator’s name and address, the email address and phone number Creator provided when opening an account on the Platform, and an unequivocal statement that Creator wants to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. Creator must send its opt-out notice to this address: creators@vibez.app.
- Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Creator or Vibez may bring an individual action in small claims court.
- Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement and Creator’s relationship with Vibez.
- Venue for Excluded Disputes. Excluded Disputes shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the principles of conflict of law therein. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Miami, Florida in respect of Excluded Disputes and hereby submit themselves to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.
- U.N. Convention. The application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or other international laws is expressly excluded, whether the claim is in arbitration or at court.
- Miscellaneous. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Creator and Vibez regarding the subject matter herein and may be amended only by a written agreement of both parties; the parties may enter into additional written agreements in respect of the subject matter hereof, specifying certain technical or business matters, which will apply together with this Agreement. Vibez may collect, retain, use and transfer aggregate data regarding use of the Platform without any restrictions. The failure of either party to enforce any rights granted herein or to take action against the other party in the event of any breach herein shall not be deemed a waiver by that party. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Creator may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Vibez. Vibez may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
