8.5.        Suspension. Any permitted suspension of the Services by Patri pursuant to these Terms will not excuse Customer from its obligation to make payments under these Terms.

9.1.          Term. These Terms will commence on the Effective Date and will continue as long as there is an Order Form in effect, or until otherwise terminated in writing by the Parties as provided in this Section.  Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, Customer’s Subscription will automatically renew for successive renewal terms (each a “Renewal Term”) as set out in an Order Form unless Customer provides Patri with written notice of its intention not to renew at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term or such other period as set out in an Order Form.

OR UK RESIDENTS”BELOW.

15.1          Initial Dispute Resolution

Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to litigation. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with Patri, and good faith negotiations as part of this informal dispute resolution process shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.  This requires first sending a written description of the dispute to the other party.  For any dispute you initiate, you agree to send the written description of the dispute along with the email address associated with your account to the following email address: . For any dispute that Patri initiates, we will send our written description of the dispute to the email address associated with your Patri account. The written description must be on an individual basis and provide, at minimum, the following information: your name; a description of the nature or basis of the claim or dispute; and the specific relief sought.

15.2        Binding Arbitration

If the Parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution begins under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the Parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions.

Except as set forth in Section 15.5, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of JAMS administrative or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment). The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The Parties agree that the arbitrator may allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

JAMS Arbitration Rules & Procedures governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267.  The Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures shall apply for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures shall apply for claims exceeding $250,000, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.  

To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 2 Embarcadero Center Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Patri, 224 S. Main Street #528 Springville, UT 84663.

If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, you will be required to pay $250 to initiate the arbitration. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, the arbitrator may require Patri to pay the additional cost. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Patri will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. For claims above $75,000, fees and costs will be determined in accordance with applicable JAMS rules. The arbitration rules permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.

Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which they are based. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements. The arbitrator has the right to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rule 24 for any claims the arbitrator determines to be frivolous or improper (under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11).

The Parties agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS’s Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to you, and you waive any objection to such fee modification. The Parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 15 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

15.3        Location

If you are a resident of the United States or a resident of the European Union who brings a claim against Patri, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you.
