(b)Binding Arbitration
If You and Dental Job Stop cannot resolve a Claim through negotiations, either party may elect to have the Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s).YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT WITH A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.Except as otherwise provided for herein, Dental Job Stop will pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees.If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.In that case, You hereby agree to reimburse Dental Job Stop for all payments disbursed that are Your obligation to reimburse under the AAA Rules.If You are unable to pay the arbitration fee, Dental Job Stop will pay it directly upon receiving a written request and a sworn statement that You are unable to pay.The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.All issues are for the arbitrator to resolve, except that issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to resolve.The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online.The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing, but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party.The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.Dental Job Stop may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(c)Restrictions Against Joinder of Claims
You and Dental Job Stop agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually.YOU AND DENTAL JOB STOP HEREBY AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR DENTAL JOB STOP’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.In the event that this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, the Claim will still be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon the election of either party, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). In addition: (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (2) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (3) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.
