1.              VIRTUAL COINS AND GAMES

1.1           Virtual Coins. The Service includes a License (as defined below) to you to use virtual tokens to play all Games on the Site, including, but not limited to, chips, coins, credits, or points (collectively, “Virtual Coins”), that may be provided for use on the Platform. No matter the reference or format of the Games, Virtual Coins are non-transferrable and may be used subject to the License only. With the exception of “no purchase necessary” promotional contests or giveaways, there is no opportunity for a User on the Platform to win real-money or any prize while playing the Games, regardless of whether any purchase was made at any point by the User.

1.2           The License to Games and Virtual Coins. Subject to your agreement and continuing compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, license to access and use the Games and Virtual Coins solely for your personal, private entertainment on the Platform and for no other reason (the “License”). Other than this limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable License to use the Virtual Coins with the Service, you have no right or title in or to any such Virtual Coins appearing or originating with the Service, or any other attributes associated with use of the Service or stored within the Service. We have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Coins as it sees fit in its sole discretion to the extent legally permissible, and we shall have no liability to You or anyone for the exercise of such rights.

1.3           No Right to Sell or Assign. The transfer or sale of Virtual Coins by you to any other person is strictly prohibited. You may NOT sell or assign your User Account to any other person under any circumstances. Any attempt to do so is in violation of this Agreement, will result in in closure and forfeiture of the User Account, and may result in a lifetime ban from the Service and possible legal action.

1.4           No Purchase Required. No purchase is required to set up a User Account or play Games. The Service is committed to at all times providing additional access to Virtual Coins or otherwise to free-to-play Games to users who deplete their balance of Virtual Coins. While it is never required to make any purchase in order to play the Games, users may, subject to the License, increase the number of certain Virtual Coins they may access for licensed use on the Service only, increase the variety of available Games, and remove advertisements by making a purchase. You understand and agree that any purchases are final and that we are not required to provide a refund for any reason. Virtual Coins are non-transferrable, and carry no cash value. All Virtual Coins under this License are forfeited if your User Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion or if the Services are no longer available. To the extent legally permissible, if your User Account, or a particular subscription for the Service associated with your User Account, is terminated, suspended and/or if any Virtual Coins are selectively removed or revoked by us from your User Account, no refund will be granted, and no Virtual Coins will be credited to you or converted to cash or other forms of reimbursement.

17.           TERM AND TERMINATION.

17.1        Term.  The term of this Agreement commences on the date when you accept this Agreement (as described in the preamble above), and continues in full force and effect while you use the Service, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.

17.2        Termination of Service by Coverd.  If you have materially breached any provision of this Agreement, or if Coverd is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Service is, or becomes, unlawful), Coverd has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Service provided to you.  Coverd reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or your access to the Service at any time without cause upon notice to you.  You agree that all terminations for cause are made in Coverd’s sole discretion and that Coverd shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

17.3        Termination by You.  If you want to terminate this Agreement, you may do so by (i) notifying Coverd at any time and (ii) closing your Account for the Service.  Your notice should be sent, in writing, to Coverd’s address set forth below.

17.4        Effect of Termination.  Upon termination of the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof, your right to use the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof will automatically terminate, and we may delete Your Content associated therewith from our live databases.  If we terminate your Account for cause, we may also bar your further use or access to the Service.  Coverd will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content.  All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will survive termination of Service, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

17.5        No Subsequent Registration.  If this Agreement is terminated for cause by Coverd or if your Account or ability to access the Service is discontinued by Coverd due to your violation of any portion of this Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Service through use of a different member name or otherwise.

18.           INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Coverd.  If that occurs, Coverd is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution.  You and Coverd agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”).  You and Coverd therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in court as may be permitted by this Agreement), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”).  If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Notice to Coverd that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to info@coverd.us or regular mail to our offices located at 11 Park Pl, 3rd Fl #436, New York, NY 10007  The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel (if any); and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.  In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in the Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute.  Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration or initiating litigation as may be permitted by this Agreement.  The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

19.           BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND COVERD TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND COVERD CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT APPLIES TO ANY CLAIMS YOU OR COMPANY CURRENTLY POSSESS AND ANY CLAIMS THE PARTIES MAY RAISE IN THE FUTURE. WHILE YOU MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE IN ORDER TO USE THE SERVICE, IF YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO AN ARBITRATION PROVISION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE, THERE IS AN OPTION, DESCRIBED BELOW IN SECTION 16.14, TO OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. THE OPTION TO OPT-OUT IS TIME-LIMITED TO THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ENTERING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

If you reside in or access the Service at any time while located in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms of Service.

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH SETS FORTH HOW PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COVERD SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

ARBITRATION MEANS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEEK DAMAGES IN COURT OR PRESENT YOUR CASE TO A JURY.

THIS ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT ALSO REQUIRES THAT ANY PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE DISPUTES WITH THE COMPANY SHALL PROCEED FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES ONLY. YOU MAY NOT PROCEED AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, MEMBER OR PART OF ANY PROPOSED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUIT, QUI TAM ACTION, OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN ANY TYPE OF CLAIM OR ACTION.

19.1        Acceptance of Terms.  By using, or otherwise accessing the Service, or clicking to accept or agree to this Agreement where that option is made available, you confirm that you have read and accept and agree to this Arbitration Agreement.

19.2        Scope of Agreement to Arbitrate.  You and Coverd agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any purchase or transaction by you, your access to or use of any Platform or the Service, or to this Arbitration Agreement, the Terms of Use, or Privacy Policy (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of this Agreement or the Terms of Use) (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, including claims that arose before acceptance of any version of this Arbitration Agreement. In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Arbitration Agreement — including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Arbitration Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims—you and Coverd agree and delegate to the Arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on their own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Arbitration Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.

19.3        Notwithstanding the above provision and agreement to arbitrate, all parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims solely within the scope of a small claim’s court jurisdiction.

19.4        Lack of Estoppel or Preclusive Effect. The parties agree that any issues determined in arbitration or any other proceeding between the parties shall be conducted and decided for the benefit of the parties or express third party beneficiaries only and shall have no preclusive or estoppel effect against a party in any subsequent or other arbitration or litigation matter, such that all issues shall be decided anew in any subsequent or other proceedings involving either party.  The parties reach this agreement in order to narrowly and efficiently tailor their legal positions without concern that any third party may attempt to offensively use any finding or determination of fact or law against You or Coverd.

19.5        Third-Party Beneficiaries.  You further agree and intend that this Arbitration Agreement and the Agreement are entered into for the express benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and next-of-kin and shall bind same to the extent of any claims arising from your use of the Service which is brought by them or by any person for the use or benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and next-of-kin.  Coverd agrees also that this Arbitration Agreement is intended to benefit and shall bind any successor-in-interest or assignee of Coverd.

19.6        Intellectual Property.  Notwithstanding the requirement to arbitrate in this Section 19, you and Coverd are NOT required to arbitrate any claims for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents, and the parties agree that in the event of infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents of a party, they shall also be entitled to seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties shall not be able to hold out a user’s access to the Service as a basis to enforce this arbitration agreement as to such claims. 

19.7        Separate Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is a separate agreement between the parties governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and that any alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms of Use, the Service, the Platform, or the Privacy Policy shall have no effect upon the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.

19.8        Applicable Law.  While the Federal Arbitration Act shall control, to the extent the law of any state is applied or considered with respect to issues bearing upon the enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement, the parties agree that the law of the State of Delaware shall exclusively apply, notwithstanding any consideration or application of choice of law or conflicts of law principles.

INITIATING ARBITRATION UNDER JAMS RULES

19.9        Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution process required by Section 18, you or Coverd may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration  Agreement. You and Coverd agree that JAMS (“JAMS”) will administer the arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect at the time arbitration is sought (“JAMS Rules”).  The parties further agree that, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply.  The JAMS Rules referenced above are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/

19.10      You and Coverd further agree:

(a)            The arbitration will be handled on the merits by a sole arbitrator.  The parties agree that any JAMS arbitrator appointed, including merits and process arbitrators, must have the following minimum qualification: practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have at least ten years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving of complex business disputes, including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding whether disputes are arbitrable; 

(b)            For purpose of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of the JAMS Rules, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and JAMS Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by all parties to the Dispute;

(c)            In lieu of JAMS Rule 15, the parties shall be presented with a list of eight (8) potential arbitrators, be allowed three (3) strikes and the parties shall rank those potential arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall select the arbitrator with the highest combined preference (e.g., if both parties select a potential arbitrator as their top preference, that arbitrator will be selected).  To the extent a process arbitrator is appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules, the selection process shall also be as prescribed in this paragraph;

(d)            In lieu of JAMS Rule 18, the parties shall have the right to submit a dispositive motion at the outset of the arbitration to the Arbitrator in order to resolve issues other than the ultimate issue of fact.  The submission and scheduling of such motions shall be addressed at a conference held before the JAMS arbitrator, and the Parties agree that any dispositive motions shall be resolved and the remainder of the arbitral proceeding stayed pending resolution, absent good cause and immediate necessity to proceed.

(e)            Unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules, the arbitration will be held in Delaware or, at either your or our election, will be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means;

(f)             The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees, currently available at https://www.jamsadr.com/arbitration-fees, You will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 in connection with any arbitration initiated under this Section 19, but You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees;

(g)            Except as otherwise waived or limited under this Agreement or this Arbitration Agreement, the JAMS arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including equitable or injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit except:

(i)             In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator(s) are not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages; and

(ii)            In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator(s) may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits;

(h)            The arbitration decision and award shall consist of a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, as to each claim.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, the award shall be a reasoned award and contain a concise written statement of the reasons for the award;

(i)             Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the parties except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its confirmation and enforcement.

(j)             In the event JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider subject to the procedural agreements of this Section 19; and

(k)            You and Coverd agree that any award issued by the Arbitrator in excess of $50,000 in favor of either party, or any award which grants any form of declaratory or equitable relief that would significantly impact other Coverd users or the operation of the Platform, may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party’s election.  The JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. 

19.11      Batch Arbitration/Mediation. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 20 or more similar arbitration demands against Coverd, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working in coordination, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 60-day period, JAMS shall consolidate those arbitrations as contemplated in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules.  Following the submission, initial presentation and resolution of briefing and motion practice contemplated in Section 19.10(d) on dispositive issues other than the ultimate issue of fact, to the extent claims and issues remain pending, JAMS shall group the arbitration demands into a first batch of no more than 25 demands to be set for resolution as a single arbitration.  Once resolution of the first batch has concluded (or sooner if the parties agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation before a JAMS mediator of all remaining demands from claimants.  Counsel for the parties must agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the first batch.  If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS mediator within 30 days, JAMS will appoint a JAMS mediator as an administrative matter.  All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed.  If the parties are unable to resolve their demands by mediation, JAMS shall continue to batch the remaining arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands) for administration.  A single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator will be assigned per batch.  For avoidance of doubt, consolidation does not require that all arbitrations in a single batch be decided the same, nor does it impair your right to present any evidence or argument that you think particular to your case, so long as it is consistent with JAMS Rules.  You agree to cooperate in good faith with the Company and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees and to efficiently consolidate discovery, submission of evidence, and motion practice. 

19.12      By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law (including attorney’s fees) for either party’s violation of this requirement.

OPTION AND PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION

19.13      IF YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO AN ARBITRATION PROVISION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE, YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT OPT-OUT, THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS WILL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO ALL CLAIMS YOU MAY POSSESS, WHETHER ASSERTED TO DATE OR NOT.

WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF AND COLLECTIVE ACTION

BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY PROCEEDING EXISTING AS OF THE DATE YOU AGREED TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

19.17      Severability.  This Arbitration Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Arbitration Agreement or portion thereof, is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect. To the fullest extent allowable by law and equity, the parties agree that any such provision may be blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of the parties and consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the agreement, and may be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.

By linking a Linked Card, you hereby agree that Coverd and its third-party service providers may access and use transaction information regarding transactions made on Linked Cards to provide the Service to you. After you have a Linked Card associated with your Account, you may select certain transactions or purchases relating to that credit card account for which you wish to participate in a Contest.

(a)            The name on your Linked Card must match the name on your User Account. If it comes to our attention that the name you registered on your User Account and the name linked to your Linked Card differ, your User Account will be suspended, purchases may be voided, and any Virtual Coins balance may be adjusted accordingly. You must promptly notify us if your Linked Card is cancelled, lost or stolen or if the security of Your Linked Card has otherwise become compromised.

Where multiple entries/User Accounts have been used, we reserve the right to suspend those User Accounts and withhold any promotional benefits.

17.           TERM AND TERMINATION.

17.1        Term.  The term of this Agreement commences on the date when you accept this Agreement (as described in the preamble above), and continues in full force and effect while you use the Service, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.

17.2        Termination of Service by Coverd.  If you have materially breached any provision of this Agreement, or if Coverd is required to do so by law (e.g., where the provision of the Service is, or becomes, unlawful), Coverd has the right to, immediately and without notice, suspend or terminate any Service provided to you.  Coverd reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or your access to the Service at any time without cause upon notice to you.  You agree that all terminations for cause are made in Coverd’s sole discretion and that Coverd shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.

17.3        Termination by You.  If you want to terminate this Agreement, you may do so by (i) notifying Coverd at any time and (ii) closing your Account for the Service.  Your notice should be sent, in writing, to Coverd’s address set forth below.

17.4        Effect of Termination.  Upon termination of the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof, your right to use the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof will automatically terminate, and we may delete Your Content associated therewith from our live databases.  If we terminate your Account for cause, we may also bar your further use or access to the Service.  Coverd will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content.  All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will survive termination of Service, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

17.5        No Subsequent Registration.  If this Agreement is terminated for cause by Coverd or if your Account or ability to access the Service is discontinued by Coverd due to your violation of any portion of this Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Service through use of a different member name or otherwise.

18.           INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Coverd.  If that occurs, Coverd is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution.  You and Coverd agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”).  You and Coverd therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in court as may be permitted by this Agreement), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”).  If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Notice to Coverd that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to info@coverd.us or regular mail to our offices located at 11 Park Pl, 3rd Fl #436, New York, NY 10007  The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel (if any); and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.  In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in the Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute.  Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration or initiating litigation as may be permitted by this Agreement.  The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

19.           BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND COVERD TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND COVERD CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT APPLIES TO ANY CLAIMS YOU OR COMPANY CURRENTLY POSSESS AND ANY CLAIMS THE PARTIES MAY RAISE IN THE FUTURE. WHILE YOU MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE IN ORDER TO USE THE SERVICE, IF YOU HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO AN ARBITRATION PROVISION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE, THERE IS AN OPTION, DESCRIBED BELOW IN SECTION 16.14, TO OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. THE OPTION TO OPT-OUT IS TIME-LIMITED TO THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ENTERING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

If you reside in or access the Service at any time while located in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms of Service.

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH SETS FORTH HOW PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND COVERD SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

ARBITRATION MEANS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEEK DAMAGES IN COURT OR PRESENT YOUR CASE TO A JURY.

THIS ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT ALSO REQUIRES THAT ANY PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE DISPUTES WITH THE COMPANY SHALL PROCEED FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES ONLY. YOU MAY NOT PROCEED AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, MEMBER OR PART OF ANY PROPOSED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUIT, QUI TAM ACTION, OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN ANY TYPE OF CLAIM OR ACTION.

19.1        Acceptance of Terms.  By using, or otherwise accessing the Service, or clicking to accept or agree to this Agreement where that option is made available, you confirm that you have read and accept and agree to this Arbitration Agreement. Except to the extent that you may opt-out as provided below, all of your activity on the Website or Platform and all or your transactions with Coverd, including all events which occurred before your acceptance of this Arbitration Agreement, shall be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

19.2        Scope of Agreement to Arbitrate.  You and Coverd agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any purchase or transaction by you, your access to or use of any Platform or the Service, or to this Arbitration Agreement, the Terms of Use, or Privacy Policy (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of this Agreement or the Terms of Use) (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, including claims that arose before acceptance of any version of this Arbitration Agreement. In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Arbitration Agreement — including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Arbitration Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims—you and Coverd agree and delegate to the Arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on their own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Arbitration Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.

19.3        Notwithstanding the above provision and agreement to arbitrate, all parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims solely within the scope of a small claim’s court jurisdiction.

19.4        Lack of Estoppel or Preclusive Effect. The parties agree that any issues determined in arbitration or any other proceeding between the parties shall be conducted and decided for the benefit of the parties or express third party beneficiaries only and shall have no preclusive or estoppel effect against a party in any subsequent or other arbitration or litigation matter, such that all issues shall be decided anew in any subsequent or other proceedings involving either party.  The parties reach this agreement in order to narrowly and efficiently tailor their legal positions without concern that any third party may attempt to offensively use any finding or determination of fact or law against You or Coverd.

19.5        Third-Party Beneficiaries.  You further agree and intend that this Arbitration Agreement and the Agreement are entered into for the express benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and next-of-kin and shall bind same to the extent of any claims arising from your use of the Service which is brought by them or by any person for the use or benefit of your spouse, heirs, children and next-of-kin.  Coverd agrees also that this Arbitration Agreement is intended to benefit and shall bind any successor-in-interest or assignee of Coverd.

19.6        Intellectual Property.  Notwithstanding the requirement to arbitrate in this Section 19, you and Coverd are NOT required to arbitrate any claims for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents, and the parties agree that in the event of infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents of a party, they shall also be entitled to seek injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties shall not be able to hold out a user’s access to the Service as a basis to enforce this arbitration agreement as to such claims. 

19.7        Separate Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement is a separate agreement between the parties governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and that any alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms of Use, the Service, the Platform, or the Privacy Policy shall have no effect upon the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.

19.8        Applicable Law.  While the Federal Arbitration Act shall control, to the extent the law of any state is applied or considered with respect to issues bearing upon the enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement, the parties agree that the law of the State of Delaware shall exclusively apply, notwithstanding any consideration or application of choice of law or conflicts of law principles.

INITIATING ARBITRATION UNDER JAMS RULES

19.9        Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution process required by Section 18, you or Coverd may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration  Agreement. You and Coverd agree that JAMS (“JAMS”) will administer the arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect at the time arbitration is sought (“JAMS Rules”).  The parties further agree that, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply.  The JAMS Rules referenced above are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/

19.10      You and Coverd further agree:

(a)            The arbitration will be handled on the merits by a sole arbitrator.  The parties agree that any JAMS arbitrator appointed, including merits and process arbitrators, must have the following minimum qualification: practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have at least ten years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving of complex business disputes, including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding whether disputes are arbitrable; 

(b)            For purpose of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of the JAMS Rules, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and JAMS Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by all parties to the Dispute;

(c)            In lieu of JAMS Rule 15, the parties shall be presented with a list of eight (8) potential arbitrators, be allowed three (3) strikes and the parties shall rank those potential arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall select the arbitrator with the highest combined preference (e.g., if both parties select a potential arbitrator as their top preference, that arbitrator will be selected).  To the extent a process arbitrator is appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules, the selection process shall also be as prescribed in this paragraph;

(d)            In lieu of JAMS Rule 18, the parties shall have the right to submit a dispositive motion at the outset of the arbitration to the Arbitrator in order to resolve issues other than the ultimate issue of fact.  The submission and scheduling of such motions shall be addressed at a conference held before the JAMS arbitrator, and the Parties agree that any dispositive motions shall be resolved and the remainder of the arbitral proceeding stayed pending resolution, absent good cause and immediate necessity to proceed.

(e)            Unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules, the arbitration will be held in Delaware or, at either your or our election, will be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means;

(f)             The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees, currently available at https://www.jamsadr.com/arbitration-fees, You will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 in connection with any arbitration initiated under this Section 19, but You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees;

(g)            Except as otherwise waived or limited under this Agreement or this Arbitration Agreement, the JAMS arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including equitable or injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit except:

(i)             In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator(s) are not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages; and

(ii)            In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator(s) may not award any incidental, indirect or consequential damages, including damages for lost profits;

(h)            The arbitration decision and award shall consist of a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, as to each claim.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, the award shall be a reasoned award and contain a concise written statement of the reasons for the award;

(i)             Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the parties except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its confirmation and enforcement.

(j)             In the event JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider subject to the procedural agreements of this Section 19; and

(k)            You and Coverd agree that any award issued by the Arbitrator in excess of $50,000 in favor of either party, or any award which grants any form of declaratory or equitable relief that would significantly impact other Coverd users or the operation of the Platform, may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party’s election.  The JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. 

19.11      Batch Arbitration/Mediation. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 20 or more similar arbitration demands against Coverd, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working in coordination, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 60-day period, JAMS shall consolidate those arbitrations as contemplated in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules.  Following the submission, initial presentation and resolution of briefing and motion practice contemplated in Section 19.10(d) on dispositive issues other than the ultimate issue of fact, to the extent claims and issues remain pending, JAMS shall group the arbitration demands into a first batch of no more than 25 demands to be set for resolution as a single arbitration.  Once resolution of the first batch has concluded (or sooner if the parties agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation before a JAMS mediator of all remaining demands from claimants.  Counsel for the parties must agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the first batch.  If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS mediator within 30 days, JAMS will appoint a JAMS mediator as an administrative matter.  All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed.  If the parties are unable to resolve their demands by mediation, JAMS shall continue to batch the remaining arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands) for administration.  A single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator will be assigned per batch.  For avoidance of doubt, consolidation does not require that all arbitrations in a single batch be decided the same, nor does it impair your right to present any evidence or argument that you think particular to your case, so long as it is consistent with JAMS Rules.  You agree to cooperate in good faith with the Company and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees and to efficiently consolidate discovery, submission of evidence, and motion practice. 

19.12      By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law (including attorney’s fees) for either party’s violation of this requirement.

OPTION AND PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION

IF YOU DO NOT OPT-OUT, THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS WILL APPLY RETROACTIVELY TO ALL CLAIMS YOU MAY POSSESS, WHETHER ASSERTED TO DATE OR NOT.

You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your expense) regarding the consequences of your decision.

WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF AND COLLECTIVE ACTION

19.16      TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR COVERD SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. YOU MAY ONLY ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS BASIS ONLY AND FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES ONLY. UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN ARBITRATION OR COURT AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, MEMBER OR PART OF ANY PROPOSED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUIT, QUI TAM ACTION OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR FOR THE BENEFIT OR USE OF OTHERS IN ANY TYPE OF CLAIM OR ACTION. YOU AND COVERD ARE EACH WAIVING RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY PROCEEDING EXISTING AS OF THE DATE YOU AGREED TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

19.17      Severability.  This Arbitration Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Arbitration Agreement or portion thereof, is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect. To the fullest extent allowable by law and equity, the parties agree that any such provision may be blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of the parties and consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the agreement, and may be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.

END OF SECTION 19 ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

20.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR SERVICE OR ANY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY.
