Tukios does not guarantee the accuracy of, and disclaims all liability for, any errors or other inaccuracies in the information, content, recommendations, and materials made available through the Sites.
  12. Arbitration: 
    • Generally:  In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Tukios in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as expressly described herein, you and Tukios agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND TUKIOS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    • Exceptions:  Despite the provisions of this Section, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    • Opt-Out:  If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Tukios, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 2326 Washington Blvd., #303, Ogden, UT 84409 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Tukios receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 14 (“Governing Law”) The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
    • Arbitrator:  Any arbitration between you and Tukios will be settled by a single arbitrator under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at https://www.adr.org/, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Tukios. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    • Notice of Arbitration; Process:  A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Tukios’s address for Notice of Arbitration is: Tukios, Inc., 2326 Washington Blvd., #303, Ogden, UT 84409. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Tukios may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing and will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Tukios must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Tukios in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Tukios will pay to you the higher of: (c) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (d) US$10,000.
    • Fees:  If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Tukios will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the county and state of your residence or billing address, but if the claim is for US$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your permanent residence. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Tukios for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    • No Class Actions:  YOU AND TUKIOS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Tukios agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    • Modifications to this Arbitration Provision:  If Tukios makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Tukios’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Tukios’ address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Tukios will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive
    • Enforceability:  If Section 12(g) (“No Class Actions”) or the entirety of this Section is found to be unenforceable, or if Tukios receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14 (“Governing Law”) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
  13. Limitation of Liability:  In no event will Tukios be liable to you for any incidental, special, consequential, direct, indirect, or punitive damages, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, whether or not Tukios has been informed of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or limitation of liability in certain circumstances. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
  14. Governing Law:  These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Tukios agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake City, for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
  15. Modification of the Sites:  Tukios reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, some or all of the Sites at any time without any notice or further obligation to you. You agree that Tukios will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of any of the Sites.
  16. General: 
    • Entire Agreement:  These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Tukios regarding your use of and access to the Sites, and except as expressly permitted above may only be amended by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties.
    • No Waiver:  The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of the Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.
    • Paragraph Headers:  Use of paragraph headers in the Terms is for convenience only and shall not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions.
    • Severability:  In the event that any part of the Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
  17. Notice to California Residents:  Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite S-202, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 in order to resolve a complaint regarding the service or to receive further information regarding use of the service.
