12. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
BY ELECTRONICALLY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US.
In this Arbitration Section “Claim” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (whether based on contract, tort, intentional tort, constitution, statute, ordinance, common law, or equity, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and whether seeking monetary, injunctive, declaratory, or any other relief) arising from or relating to this Agreement or the relationship between us and you (including claims arising prior to or after the date of the Agreement, and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class), and includes claims that are brought as counterclaims, crossclaims, third party claims or otherwise, as well as disputes about the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Section.
Any Claim will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS, under the applicable arbitration rules of the administrator in effect at the time a Claim is filed (“Rules”). Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You can obtain the Rules and other information about initiating arbitration by contacting the American Arbitration Association at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org; or by contacting JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614, (949) 224-1810, www.jamsadr.com. The email for serving any arbitration demand or claim on us is stoic@cindicator.com.
Claims will be arbitrated by a single, neutral arbitrator, who will be a retired judge or a lawyer with at least ten years’ experience.
Any in-person arbitration hearing will be held in the city with the federal district court closest to your residence, or in such other location as you and we may mutually agree. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and, if requested by either Party, provide written reasoned findings of fact and conclusions of law. The arbitrator will have the power to award any relief authorized under applicable law. Any appropriate court may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except that: (1) any Party may exercise any appeal right under the FAA; and (2) any Party may appeal any award relating to a claim for more than $100,000 to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the administrator, which will reconsider de novo any aspect of the appealed award. The panel’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the FAA.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. The arbitrator will have no power to arbitrate any Claims on a class action basis or Claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other borrowers, or other persons similarly situated. The validity and effect of this paragraph (e) will be determined exclusively by a court, and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
If any portion of this Arbitration Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this section. The terms of this Arbitration Section will prevail if there is any conflict between the Rules and this section.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ARBITRATION WILL LIMIT OUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT FULL DISCOVERY, AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL (EXCEPT AS PERMITTED IN PARAGRAPH (d) OR UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT).
You and we acknowledge and agree that the arbitration agreement set forth in this Arbitration Section is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Section. This Arbitration Section will survive the termination of this Agreement.
In the event that a dispute does not proceed to arbitration, this Agreement and all other aspects of your use of the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and, to the extent applicable, to the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that you will notify us in writing of any claim or dispute concerning or relating to the Service and the information or services provided through it, and give us a reasonable period of time to address it before bringing any legal action, either individually, as a class member or representative, or as a private attorney general, against us.
13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding on the Parties’ successors and assigns.
Waiver. No waiver will be implied from our conduct or failure to enforce rights. Our exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement will be without prejudice to the right to exercise any other right or remedy provided by law or equity, except as expressly limited in this Agreement. The failure by Cindicator and its affiliates to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a present or future waiver of such provision nor limit Cindicator’s and its affiliates’ right to enforce such provision later. All waivers by Cindicator must be unequivocal and in writing to be effective.
Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement to be in writing will be effective upon receipt, which must be acknowledged by the receiving Party, and must be sent by e-mail to us at stoic@cindicator.com.

All notices and other communications to you may be given by email to your email address that you provided when registering for the service. The notices and communications from us will be deemed to have been duly given and effective upon transmission.

Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable to the other Party for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Party unable to perform, but only if those causes could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions and could not have been circumvented through the use of reasonable alternative sources, workaround plans, or other means. These causes include strikes, shortages, failure of suppliers, riots, insurrection, fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, acts of god, war, governmental action, labor conditions, global pandemics, and power outages.
Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are or become illegal, unenforceable, or invalid (in whole or in part for any reason), the remainder of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated. Any invalid or unenforceable portions will be interpreted to affect the intent of the original portion. If such construction is not possible, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed from this Agreement, but the rest of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Survival. Termination of this Agreement does not release any Party from liabilities or obligations set forth in the Agreement which (a) the Parties have expressly agreed would survive termination or (b) remain to be performed.
Counterparts. This Agreement has been executed in two counterparts, each an original, one for each Party.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters contained in it and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, undertakings, representations, understandings, or communications between you and us, whether written or verbal, relating to the same subject matter.
Security and data privacy. Subject always to Cindicator privacy policy, notwithstanding any other agreement between you and us, the security and data privacy provisions in this Agreement contain the Parties and their affiliates’ entire obligation regarding the security, privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. Cindicator and its affiliates will not be bound by, and specifically object to, any term, condition or other provision which is different from or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter this Agreement) and which is submitted by you in any order, receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence or another document. You consent to the disclosure of any information you have provided to us, and any other information furnished to us, to any governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or, to the extent required by law, to any other person.
Language. The original text of this Agreement is prepared in English. Albeit Cindicator may place a translation of the Agreement on its webpage, the English version shall prevail if there is any conflict.
