ARBITRATION: You and Company agree that any and all disputes or claims that arise between you and Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the Site, and any other aspect of the relationship or transactions between you and Company, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its consumer arbitration, or other applicable, rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, subject to the terms of this arbitration provision. For the avoidance of doubt, you understand that by agreeing to the Terms, you and Company are each waiving the right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action or class arbitration, except for the limited exclusions expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may assert some claims in “small claims” court pursuant to certain provisions in the AAA rules regarding small claim actions, but only if your claim is under $10,000, otherwise qualifies, (6) your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis (as further set forth below).
43. ARBITRATIONCONDITION PRECEDENT: Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and Company anticipates most user concerns can be resolved quickly by emailing Company at Support@TaxPlanIQ.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Arbitration Notice”). The Notice to Company should be sent to Company at the following address,
AdvisorIQ LLC d/b/a TaxPlanIQ
Attn: Data Protection Officer
1207 S White Chapel Blvd, Ste 200
Southlake, TX 76092
and via email to Support@TaxPlanIQ.com (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If You and Company do not resolve the claim within ninety (90) calendar days after a valid Arbitration Notice is received by Company, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding.
44. ARBITRATION PROCESS: Any arbitration of a dispute will be handled by a sole AAA arbitrator with significant experience in the subject-matter to which the claim or dispute is based upon. You and Company agree that the arbitrator shall have the power to rule on any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration provisions contained herein or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and has the power to award the same damages and relief as a court could award (including reasonable attorney fees and costs, as and when specified in these Terms), except that the arbitrator may not award you any declaratory or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this arbitration provision, the applicable terms of this arbitration provision will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent term(s) would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. 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 decision and award, if any, are based. Any arbitration judgement award or other relief may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction, and may only be challenged by you or Company if the arbitrator makes a clear error of law. The arbitration shall be in English. The parties shall mutually bear the cost of any filing, administrative, or arbitrator fees, unless otherwise agreed to by Company. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties, including the amount of any settlement offer made by either party or any judgement to which a party is entitled.
45. CHANGES TO ARBITRATION POLICY: If Company makes any material changes to the arbitration sections of the Terms after the date you last accepted these Terms, those changes will not apply to any claims filed in a proceeding against Company prior to the date the changes became effective. Company will strive to notify you of substantive changes to this section at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the change will become effective. If you do not agree to the modified terms in this section, you may send Company a notification via Support@TaxPlanIQ.com or close your Account within those 30 days. By rejecting a modified term or permanently closing your Account, you agree to arbitrate any disputes between you and Company in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date you last accepted the Terms, including any changes made prior to your rejection. If you reopen your closed Account or create a new Account, you agree to be bound by the current version of this arbitration provision and Terms.
46. VENUE: Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Dallas County, TX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your claim is for $10,000 or less and not pursued by you in “small claims” court pursuant to certain provisions in the AAA rules, Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely electronically on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator or through a telephonic hearing (subject to AAA’s approval). If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
47. NON-ARBITABLE DISPUTES: In the event that any dispute related to these Terms is not subject to the arbitration provisions herein, you and Company agree that any such dispute shall be exclusively resolved in the courts located in Fort Worth County, TX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Company may pursue directly in court and not via the arbitration process set forth above, in Company’s sole discretion, emergency equitable relief, including injunctive relief, for your actual or alleged breaches of these Terms in regards to: (i) your confidentiality obligations; and (ii) unauthorized use of Company’s intellectual property.
48. FURTHER ARBITRATION EXCLUSIONS: Nothing in this arbitration provision shall preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Company on your behalf.
49. REMEDIES: All of Company’s rights and remedies are cumulative and shall in no way affect any remedy available to Company under equity or law. You agree that any violation of the breach of the Terms by you may result in irreparable harm to Company, that monetary damages may be inadequate, and you hereby agree Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without the need to post any bond or proving any damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, you may not seek any equitable or injunctive relief under these Terms, and you may only seek damages against Company in the form of your actual monetary damages.
50. CLAIM PENDENCY: Any alleged claim or cause of action you may have with respect to your use of the Site or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the alleged claim or cause of action arises, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
51. CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTION PROHIBITION:YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
52. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS HEREIN) PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREIN, BUT ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
53. NOTICE: All legal notices to Company or you pursuant to these Terms will be in writing and will be delivered by personal delivery or certified mail and will be deemed given upon delivery or sent via email (including to the email address associated with your Account) and will be deemed given upon confirmation of receipt.
