This TOS contains the entire understanding and supersedes all prior understanding
of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and can only be changed
or terminated in writing. If any provision of this TOS is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, this TOS will be deemed curtailed to the extent necessary to make it
legal and enforceable and will remain, as modified, in full force and effect.
No Waiver:
Our failure to exercise or enforce any of our rights or to enforce any provision of this TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this TOS is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this TOS, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any of this TOS shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.
Applicable Laws:
This TOS is governed in accordance with the laws of Delaware or Maryland, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Mandatory Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis; Class Action Waiver
Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, counts, claim, or cause of action) between you and Voice Radio LLC or Voice’s employees, agents, successors, or assigns, shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration, except that you or Voice may take claims to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for hearing by such a court. In addition, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, APART FROM THE NARROW EXCEPTIONS ABOVE, YOU AND VOICE RADIO LLC ARE EACH WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO RECEIVE ATRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Arbitration shall be subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and shall be conducted by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on its website at
http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The Minimum Standards are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-arbitration/.
You and Voice must abide by these rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted on an
individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action and the arbitrator shall not award class-wide relief; (b) Voice Radio LLC will pay its arbitration costs as required by JAMS rules, and in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Voice will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation; (c) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (d) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation costs, and in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
With the exception of subpart (a) in the paragraph above, if any part of this arbitration
provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subpart (a) in the paragraph above is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts in and for Sussex County, Delaware.
Complete Agreement
Except as expressly provided in a particular notice or disclaimer posted by or on behalf of Voice Radio LLC on the Platforms, this TOS, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Voice Radio LLC with respect to the use of the Platforms and any Voice Radio LLC Materials.
