This provision to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §1 et sec., which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of our mutual agreement to arbitrate, and not by any state rule or statute governing arbitration and without respect to any state arbitration law. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of the Agreement. The Parties agree to the following Arbitration Terms:

1. The Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (www.adr.org), the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (“JAMS”), or another nationally known consumer arbitration service agreed by the parties in the event AAA and JAMS no longer conduct consumer arbitrations. The Party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other Party a written Notice of Dispute before filing it with the arbitration service provider. The Notice must describe both the nature and basis of the dispute; and the specific relief sought. Any notice shall be deemed to have been given and received for all purposes when delivered by hand, a day after receipt through a nationally recognized overnight courier, or a day after being received through certified or registered mail, postage and charges prepaid, return receipt requested, to us at: Debt.com, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 8220 W. State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33324.
2. Commencement and Rules of Arbitration. If we do not resolve a claim within 30 days after receipt of the Notice, the party sending the Notice may commence an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, JAMS, or another national arbitration provision if AAA or JAMS are unavailable, by filing a Demand of Arbitration in effect at the time the action is commenced. If you choose to file with the AAA, you may download or copy the form to initiate arbitration from the following website: http://www.adr.org/consumer. The AAA shall provide the parties a list of 5 arbitrators in which the parties may agree on an arbitrator. If the parties cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall rank the arbitrators and the AAA shall appoint a single arbitrator who shall administer the arbitration proceeding pursuant to its Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Rules”), with the exception of Mass or Class Arbitration rules. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If you choose to file with JAMS, you may download or copy the form to initiate arbitration from the following website: https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-forms. JAMS shall provide the parties a list of 5 arbitrators in which the parties may agree on an arbitrator. If the parties cannot mutually agree on an arbitrator, the parties shall rank the arbitrators and the JAMS shall appoint a single arbitrator who shall administer the arbitration proceeding pursuant to its Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (“JAMS Rules”), with the exception of Mass or Class Arbitration rules. In the event another arbitration service is provided, the parties agree to follow the rules and principles of that arbitration service, except as to any rights to Mass or Class Arbitration rules which the Parties expressly agree will not apply.
3. The Arbitrator. The selected arbitrator shall be either a retired judge or an experienced attorney, shall be neutral and independent, and shall comply with the selected arbitration service’s code of ethics. The Arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration in a civil manner and ensure civility of the parties while making their arguments. Additionally, in conducting the arbitration hearing, in addition to the selected arbitration service rules, the arbitrator shall be guided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and Florida substantive law.
4. The Arbitration Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written reasoned award in which the arbitrator shall address the claims, defenses, evidence presented, and legal reasoning in making his decision. If the Arbitrator determines that reasonable attorney fees and costs may be awarded under applicable law, the parties agree that the arbitrator will also determine the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees to be awarded. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding and shall not be subject to vacation or modification, except as expressly permitted by the Federal Arbitration Act. Judgment on the Arbitration Award may be entered in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration was commenced or in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against whom judgment is to be entered.
5. Waiver of Right to Bring Mass or Class Actions. The parties agree that either party may bring claims against the other only in his/her or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported mass, class, or other representative proceeding. Further, the parties agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
6. Limitation on Injunctive Relief: The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of an individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
7. Costs of Arbitration: Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the selected arbitration service rules. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, if any, unless such fees are expressly provided for by applicable law. In the event that a party fails to proceed with Arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the Arbitrator’s award, or fails to comply with the Arbitrator’s award, the other party shall be entitled to costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for having to compel Arbitration or defend or enforce the award.
8. Arbitration Opt-Out. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY PROVIDING DEBT.COM WITH NOTICE IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF FIRST USING OUR SITE. If you do so, neither you nor we can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing either by U.S. mail delivered to: Attn: Legal Department, Debt.com, LLC, 8220 W. State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33324 or by email delivered to [email protected]. You must include: (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate.
9. What does arbitration mean? By agreeing to arbitration, we both acknowledge and agree that we are each: (i) waiving the right to pursue any other available dispute resolution processes, including, but not limited to, a court action or administrative proceeding, (ii) waving the right to participate in any class or mass action, (iii) waving the right to a trial by either a judge or jury, and (iv) giving up any right to appeal the arbitrator’s decision, except for a limited range of appealable issues expressly provided in the FAA. This section is considered by the parties to be an integral and non-voidable requirement and part of this Agreement, and the parties agree that prior to signing this Agreement including agreeing to this section they: (1) have had the opportunity to review such carefully, including with their own legal counsel if needed, (2) the parties understand the limitations on legal rights contained in this section including, but not limited to, the waiver of jury trial, the waiver of court proceeding and class actions, and (3) the parties consent and agree that this section is fair, reasonable, represents the intentions of each party at the time of entry into this Agreement, and should not be set aside later for any reason by any court. This section and the arbitration requirement shall survive termination.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make a change to this agreement to arbitrate in the future, that change shall not apply to a claim that was filed in a legal proceeding between you and us prior to the effective date of the change.
