InsurGrid may provide notices to you via email and to any other address you provide.
15. Dispute Resolution
Let's Try To Work It Out. Ideally, if you have any concerns or complaint against InsurGrid, we would like to resolve the issue without resorting to formal court or arbitration proceedings. Therefore, before filing a claim against InsurGrid, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us as set forth in Section 14 above. InsurGrid will attempt to resolve the dispute informally (and will contact you via email). If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of submission, you may bring a formal proceeding.
Arbitration. Any disputes that are not settled informally as contemplated above shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The Rules will be AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules if available. Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. In the event any telephonic or other streamlined procedures are available – they will be used. The written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in San Francisco, California using the English language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring claims for equitable or injunctive relief before a court (see the “Going to Court” section below) at any time.
Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by notify InsurGrid in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first become bound by this Agreement. Your opt-out request must be sent to:
InsurGrid, Inc. (ATTN: Arbitration Opt- out)
548 Market Street, PMB 22672
San Francisco CA, 94104
You must include your name and residence address, the email address you provided as part of the Service onboarding process, and a clear statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement.
Process. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the Rules, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to InsurGrid at: InsurGrid, Inc., 548 Market Street, PMB 22672 San Francisco CA, 94104 (Attn: Arbitration). In the event we initiate arbitration against you, we will send a copy of the completed form to the email address or physical address we have on file.
Evidence. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents we and you submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the Rules. Subject to the Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, InsurGrid will pay all such fees, unless the Arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your complaint for arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (such as claims brought in bad faith). If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses (to the extent required by law). InsurGrid will not seek, and hereby waives all rights we may have, to attorneys' fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration.
No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with InsurGrid on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
Modifications. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to the foregoing arbitration terms or conditions (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link) in the future, such amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against InsurGrid prior to the effective date of the amendment. In addition, you shall have the reject any such amendment by notifying InsurGrid in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you are first notified of the amendment (according to the procedures set forth above in this Section 15). In the event you so reject an amendment, the amendment will not apply to you – but this Section 15 will otherwise remain in fully force and effect (according the pre-amendment version you had already agreed to).
Going to Court. Subject to the arbitration provision above, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be in the state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California. You hereby submit to such jurisdiction and venue.
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED OR OTHERWISE.
16. General
The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with InsurGrid’s prior written consent. InsurGrid may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, as if made within California between two residents thereof.
