18) Dispute Resolution (Arbitration Agreement / Class Action Waiver / Jury Trial Waiver)

a) Please read this Arbitration Agreement, Class Action Waiver, and Jury Trial Waiver (“Arbitration Provision”) carefully. It provides that all Disputes between you and Autonomy shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this Arbitration Provision, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Entering into this Arbitration Provision constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Arbitration Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees, if otherwise authorized by applicable law).
b) Scope & Definitions. This Arbitration Provision governs disputes arising from or related to these Terms, the Application, and any other action or transaction resulting from the foregoing (“Disputes”). “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Autonomy regarding any aspect of your relationship with Autonomy, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver in this Arbitration Agreement). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. Dispute shall not include: (a) the exercising of any self-help or non-judicial remedies, or (b) the right to pursue disputes on an individual basis in small claims court (or your state’s equivalent court) in the state where you reside if the court has jurisdiction over the dispute and the dispute remains in that court; provided, however, that if the dispute is moved to a different court, it will be subject to this Arbitration Provision. For the purpose of this Arbitration Provision, “Autonomy” means NXCR Services, LLC, and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents.

YOU AND AUTONOMY EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

c) Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For all Disputes you must first give Autonomy an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing written notification to Autonomy at 1014 Broadway # 1350, Santa Monica, CA 90401, Attention Legal Department or support@autonomy.com. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Autonomy does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration.
d) Arbitration Procedures. You and we agree that, upon demand by either you or us, any dispute between you and us will be resolved by binding arbitration, and each party voluntarily and knowingly and voluntarily waives any right to adjudication in a court of law and to a jury trial. Either party may require the submission of a Dispute to binding arbitration at any reasonable time, even if a lawsuit of other proceeding has already been filed or started. You and we agree that all Disputes that are arbitrated must be resolved on an individual basis and that representative actions, such as class actions, are prohibited.
e) Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver. By agreeing to this Arbitration Provision, you acknowledge and agree that you are giving up any right you may have to (i) go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement, (ii) be a class representative or class member in a class action claim, (iii) participate in any consolidation of individual arbitration actions, (iv) participate in any class action or representative arbitration, and (vi) a jury trial. Further, you understand that the information that can be obtained in discovery in arbitration is generally more limited than in a lawsuit and that other rights that parties may have in court may not be available in arbitration.
f) Arbitration Rules. Either party may choose to arbitrate under the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or any other arbitration organization as you and we may agree; however, in the event of a conflict between the rules and procedures of the AAA or other arbitration provision and this Arbitration Provision, the parties agree that this Arbitration Provision governs for that specific conflict. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Dispute on any basis other than on an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Dispute on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual party’s claims. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitration shall take place in the federal district of your residence, at a location determined by the arbitrator. If you demand arbitration first, you will pay the claimant’s initial arbitration filing fees up to $250, and we will pay or reimburse you for any remaining initial filing fee. If we demand arbitration first, we will pay the entirety of the filing fees. Additionally, we agree to pay the arbitration costs and fees up to a maximum of $2,500 in the aggregate for the first day of arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will also pay amounts that the arbitrator determines that we must pay to assure the enforceability of this Arbitration Provision. The party asserting the Dispute is responsible for initiating the arbitration proceeding, regardless of who requested arbitration. The arbitrator may hear and rule on appropriate dispositive motions as part of the arbitration proceeding, such as motions for summary judgment. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties. The arbitrator may award reasonable expenses and attorney’s fees to the prevailing party if allowed by applicable law or statute. The arbitration award is subject to appeal according to the rules of the FAA. The appealing party will be responsible for all filing fees and arbitration costs unless otherwise directed by the arbitration panel. Judgment upon any award can be entered in any court with jurisdiction. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it cannot be used in any case or arbitration except to enforce the award. All parties agree to make best efforts to ensure that the arbitration proceeding as described in this Arbitration Provision is completed within 6 months of filing the Dispute. You and we agree not to disclose the existence, content, or results of the arbitration, except for disclosures of information required in the ordinary course of business or as permitted by applicable law.
g) Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
h) You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce. This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., (“FAA”). If the FAA is inapplicable for any reason, then this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice of law principles.
i) Severability: If any clause within this Arbitration Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Provision, and the remainder of this Arbitration Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Provision will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.
j) Continuation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the expiration or termination of your contract with Autonomy and your use of Autonomy Services.
k) If you do not want this Arbitration Provision to apply, you may reject it by sending us a written rejection notice signed by you describing this Agreement (e.g, “the Autonomy Fleet App Arbitration Provision”) and advising us that you are rejecting this Arbitration Provision by email at legal@autonomy.com or by mail at 1014 Broadway # 1350, Santa Monica, CA 90401. You must also include your name, address, the name of your employer, and your account number. A rejection notice is effective only if signed by you and sent to us within 30 days of the Date you first accept these Terms. The rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of these Terms or the status of the Terms. If you do not reject this Arbitration Provision, it will be effective as of the Date you first accept these Terms.

19) General. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Autonomy and govern your use of the App, superseding any prior agreements between you and Autonomy with respect to the App. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content, or third-party software. The failure of Autonomy to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the App, or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Roadster, but Roadster may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The App may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the App.
