DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. You and AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. agree that any dispute, claim or disagreement between us with respect to this TCPA Consent or with respect to any telephone calls placed pursuant hereto (a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration, except as specifically provided below.
Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action or similar proceeding. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis. Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.
Arbitration Agreement:
(1) References to "AdvantageFirst Lending Inc." "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries under this or prior Agreements between us.
(2) AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. and you agree to arbitrate all Disputes between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, including, but not limited to:
-claims arising under the Telephone Consumer Potection Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and other federal and state consumer financial protection laws);
.
-claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
. -claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and.
. -claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. each is waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(2) This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, rather than any state arbitration law, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
(3) The arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") by a single neutral arbitrator. Either party may initiate the arbitration process by filing the necessary forms with the AAA. To learn more about arbitration before the AAA, you can review materials available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in the location that is most convenient to your home. If the AAA is unavailable to administer the dispute, then the arbitration, including the selection of the arbitrator, will be administered by JAMS, under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") by a single neutral arbitrator agreed on by the parties within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the arbitration. If JAMS is not available either, then the parties shall select another recognized arbitration administrator which can offer a location for arbitration that is close to your home.
(4) If you initiate the arbitration, you will be required to pay the first $200 of any filing fee, except where prohibited by law. AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. will pay any filing fees in excess of $200 and will pay all of the arbitration fees and costs. If AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. initiates the arbitration, AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. will pay all of the filing fees and all of the arbitration fees and costs.
We will each bear all of our own respective attorney's fees, witness fees, and costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.
(5) The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide.
(6) All statutes of limitation that are applicable to any Dispute shall apply to any arbitration between you and AdvantageFirst Lending Inc..
(7) The arbitrator will issue a decision or award in writing, briefly stating the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law.
(8) The right to attorneys' fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (4) supplements any right to attorneys' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a larger amount under the applicable law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs. Although under some laws AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. agrees that it will not seek such an award.
(9) The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any legal or equitable remedy or relief that a court could order or grant under this Agreement. The arbitrator, however, is not authorized to change or alter the terms of this Agreement or to make any award that would extend to any transaction other than yours.
(10) The arbitrator may award declaratory or 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. YOU AND ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC. 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 AdvantageFirst Lending Inc. 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. If any part of this paragraph or of this Section is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court having jurisdiction over a Dispute, then this entire Section (except for this sentence and the following sentence) shall be automatically inapplicable to that Dispute.
EVEN IF ANY PART OF THIS SECTION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU AND ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC. EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE THAT MIGHT ARISE BETWEEN OR INVOLVING YOU AND ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC. AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
BECAUSE YOU AND ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC. HAVE AGREED TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, YOU AND ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC. WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH DISPUTES IN COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON SUCH DISPUTES, OR ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE RULES. FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES AND MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR ADVANTAGEFIRST LENDING INC.WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
