IN ANY EVENT, COMPANY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) $50 IN THE AGGREGATE, AND (II) IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE PAID FEES TO COMPANY HEREUNDER, THE TOTAL FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO COMPANY DURING THE THREE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE APPLICABLE CLAIM.

17. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration.
If You have a dispute with Company, You agree to contact us and try to resolve the dispute informally before pursuing other avenues. You and Company each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between You and Company (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of this Agreement, Your use of or access to our Services, the actions of Company or its agents, or otherwise related to our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. To begin an arbitration proceeding, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Company at its then current address listed on the Website. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-s... or any successor link made available by JAMS from time to time; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-c... or any successor link made available by JAMS from time to time. JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267, or any successor website or phone number made available by JAMS from time to time. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the applicable dispute will be resolved in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (i) determine the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement and (ii) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of You and Company. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Company.
YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations set forth in this Section 17 as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the federal or state court located in Chicago, Illinois. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Agreement that mandate arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: support@bravotran.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to a version of this Agreement containing an arbitration provision. Your notice must include your name and address, Your Company username (if any), the email address You used to set up your Company account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If You opt out of arbitration, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of arbitration has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that You may currently have, or may enter in the future, with Company.
