Should a dispute, controversy or claim related in any way to these Terms (“Dispute”) develop between you and Carbon Chemistry, the parties agree to first attempt to informally negotiate and resolve the Dispute through meetings between representatives from each party with decision-making authority for at least thirty (30) days. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the breach thereof, that is unresolved by such informal negotiation shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any dispute as to the enforceability of arbitration will be solely and finally settled by such arbitration. The arbitration will occur in Denver, Colorado, and adjudicated in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Carbon Chemistry in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CARBON CHEMISTRY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(b) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THESE TERMS MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(c) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce these Terms, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(d) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Carbon Chemistry may bring an individual action in small claims court.
(e) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under these Terms.
10.3 Miscellaneous
(a) Severability. If any part or parts of these Terms are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
(b) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in these Terms may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
