Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by sending a communication to our customer service department through the CONTACT portal. In the event that we are unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if LAWHORSE has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we hereby each mutually agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration, mediation, or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration, which is often cheaper, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. 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.

ARBIRTRATION AGREEEMENT
LAWHORSE and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that may arise out of your use of LAWHORSE.com. 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 theory of law;
• claims that arose before this or any prior agreement including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertisements or representations made by LAWHORSE
• 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 arise after the termination of this Agreement.

References to "LAWHORSE", "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 or devices under this or prior agreements between us. This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and LAWHORSE are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Agreement evidences a transaction in the 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.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") by certified mail. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If LAWHORSE and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or LAWHORSE may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by LAWHORSE or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or LAWHORSE is entitled.

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. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of the arbitration provision. Unless LAWHORSE and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Maricopa County Arizona.

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.

Payment of any required costs and fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees and expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

YOU AND LAWHORSE 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 LAWHORSE 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, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall not be null and void, and all enforceable provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if LAWHORSE makes any future change to this arbitration provision during your Membership, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.
