- Arbitration/ Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action
Applicability. The terms of this Section 13 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Reszi. For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Reszi arising under or relating to your use of the Services, these Terms, or any other transaction involving you and Reszi, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND RESZI AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR RESZI FOR: (1) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION; (2) PATENT INFRINGEMENT; (3) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE; (4) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION; OR (5) ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR TENANCY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UNLAWFUL DETAINER OR EVICTION PROCEEDINGS.
Binding Arbitration. You and Reszi agree: (1) to arbitrate all Disputes between you and Reszi pursuant to the provision of these Terms; (2) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (3) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (4) this Section shall survive termination in these Terms.
Dispute Notice. Either you or Reszi shall initiate an arbitration by first sending to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Reszi must be addressed to: 8343 Douglas Ave., Suite 350, Dallas, TX 75225 (“Reszi Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. If Reszi and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Reszi may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each party agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as applicable; except AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial 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 is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Hearing Format. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in Dallas County, Texas, but may proceed telephonically in the event the total amount of the claim does not exceed $10,000 U.S. dollars. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, in any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Reszi or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Reszi is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
Arbitration Fees and Costs. Reszi will pay you for fifty-percent (50%) of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Reszi pursuant to these Terms. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to Reszi at PO Box 4980, Laguna Beach, CA 92652 within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms (including your first use of the Services) that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; (3) and your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Reszi and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the courts located within the State of Texas, County of Dallas, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy; provided that all unlawful detainer or eviction proceedings and matters related thereto shall be filed in state court in the county in which the real property that is the subject of such proceeding is located.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO INITIATE OR MAINTAIN ANY CLAIM AGAINST RESZI AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND RESZI AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.
- Choice of Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
- Changes
Reszi reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion.

Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
- Severability.
If any provision in these Terms, or portion thereof, is found to be unenforceable, such provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.
