DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS AND AN AGREEMENT THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY (AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY. 

GOVERNING LAW 

These User Terms (and any non-contractual disputes/claims arising out of or in connection with them) are subject to the laws of the state of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles. Further, you and Rainstorm agree to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the state of Delaware to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with the User Terms (and any non-contractual disputes/claims relating to or arising in connection with them) and is not subject to mandatory arbitration hereunder. 

 

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

This Arbitration Agreement applies only to users in the United States. You and Rainstorm agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Rainstorm arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Rainstorm as a user of the Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and Rainstorm further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of the Agreements.

EXCEPTIONS

Notwithstanding the clause above, you and Rainstorm both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t stop you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).

NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS: CLASS ACTION WAIVER

YOU AND RAINSTORM 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 ACTION. Unless both you and Rainstorm agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

ARBITRATION RULES

Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. Any arbitration between you and Rainstorm will take place under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You and Rainstorm agree that the Federal Arbitration Act applies and governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Rainstorm can also help put you in touch with the AAA.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address.

If you choose to file an arbitration proceeding, you will be responsible for any filing fees. Each party will share equally in any arbitration fees, including the arbitrator’s compensation, unless otherwise required by AAA rules or court order. 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. 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 fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

NOTICE AND PROCESS

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Rainstorm’s address for Notice is: Rainstorm Car Wash, LLC., Attn: Legal, 9375 E. Shea Blvd., Suite 120, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Rainstorm may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Rainstorm shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Rainstorm’s last written settlement offer, then Rainstorm will instead pay you either the amount of the award or $1,000, whichever is greater. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

ENFORCEABILITY

If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described above shall govern any claim in court arising out of or related to the Agreements.

SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER

If any part of these User Terms is declared unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision will not affect such party’s right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these User Terms or any provision of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer these User Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms. Rainstorm may assign these User Terms at any time without notice to you.

FORCE MAJEURE

In no event shall Rainstorm or third party providers or distributors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, damage, or damages, including, but not limited to, any special, exemplary, punitive, indirect, incidental or consequential damages of any kind, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, which arises out of interruptions of service caused by an act of God, terrorism, accident, fire, labor controversy, riot, civil commotion, act of public enemy, law, enactment, rule order, or act of any government or governmental instrumentality, failure of technical facilities, failure or delay of transportation facilities, illness or incapacity, or other cause of a similar or dissimilar nature not reasonably within the control of Rainstorm or which Rainstorm could not by reasonable diligence have avoided (each such act specified in this paragraph shall be referred to herein as a “Force Majeure Event”). Rainstorm shall not be responsible for reimbursing any fees paid.
