WHC reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with WHC in asserting any available defenses.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and WHC in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and WHC agree to resolve disputes through binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction (“Agreement to Arbitrate”). Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, condenses discovery, 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 these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You acknowledge and agree that the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that individual party’s claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other users. 

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND WHC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. 

a) Claims To Be Resolved By Binding Arbitration. You and WHC agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to: claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Terms; 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 these Terms.

b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 10(a), you and WHC agree that no statement herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to (i) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available; (ii) seek injunctive relief in any competent court of law; or (iii) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

c) Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and WHC will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

d) Notice and Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to WHC should be addressed to: Will Holmes Consulting, 714 S. Wolfe Street #38913 Baltimore, MD 21231 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and WHC do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or WHC may commence an arbitration proceeding.

e) Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, WHC will, at your request, reimburse you for your payment of the arbitration filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $1,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any request for payment of fees by WHC should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and WHC will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), you agree to reimburse WHC for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by WHC on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.

If your claim is for $1,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. 

Any in-person arbitration hearings will take place in Baltimore, MD. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. 

f) No Class Actions. Unless both you and WHC 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.

YOU AND WHC 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. 

g) Opt-Out. If you are a new WHC user, you can choose to reject the arbitration agreement contained in this Section 10 (“opt-out”) by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty (30) days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to the Notice Address listed in Section 10(d), above.

The Opt-Out Notice must contain your name, address (including street address, city, state and zip code), and the user name(s) and email address(es) associated with the WHC account(s) to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with WHC . 

h) Modifications. If WHC makes any future change to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. You acknowledge and agree that, in the event you reject any future change, your account with WHC shall be immediately terminated and you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.

i) Severability and Enforceability. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Section 10 is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section 10 shall still apply. If the entirety of this Section 10 is found to be unenforceable, then the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 15 shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms, and that the remainder of the Terms will continue to apply

Telephone Communications and Agreement to be Contacted

Providing Telephone Numbers and Other Contact Information.  You verify that any contact information provided to WHC , including, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, email address, your residential or business telephone number, and/or your mobile telephone number, is true and accurate.  You verify that you are the current subscriber or owner of any telephone number that you provide.  You are strictly prohibited from providing a phone number that is not your own.  If we discover that any information provided in connection with your registration is false or inaccurate, we may suspend or terminate your account at any time.

Fees and Charges.  There is no fee to receive automated telephone calls or text messages from WHC.  However, you may incur a charge for these calls or text messages from your telephone carrier, which is your sole responsibility.  Message and data rates may apply.  Check your telephone plan and contact your carrier for details.  You represent and warrant that you are authorized to incur such charges and acknowledge that WHC is not responsible for such charges.   

Unauthorized Use of Your Telephone Device.  You must notify WHC immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your telephone device.  Although WHC will not be liable for losses caused by any unauthorized use of your telephone device, you may be liable for our losses due to such unauthorized use. 

Your Indemnification to Us.  You agree to indemnify WHC for any privacy, tort or other claims, including claims under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act or its state law equivalent, including claims relating to your voluntary provision of a telephone number that is not owned by you and/or your failure to notify us of any changes in your contact information, including telephone number.  You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all such claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).  We shall have the exclusive right to choose counsel, at your expense, to defend any such claims. 

Release of Claims.  In consideration of the services provided by WHC , you hereby release WHC from any and all claims, causes of action, lawsuits, injuries, damages, losses, liabilities or other harms resulting from or relating to telephone calls or text messages, including without limitation any claims, causes of action, or lawsuits based on any alleged violations of the law (including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Truth in Caller ID Act, Telemarketing Sales Rule, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or any similar state and local acts or statutes, and any federal or state tort or consumer protection laws).

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Site or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
