15. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This Section 15 contains a binding arbitration agreement, a class action and class arbitration waiver, and other provisions that affect your legal rights. Arbitration is generally a more informal, less expensive, and faster process than litigation. By agreeing to arbitration, you waive certain rights including the right to a court trial and the right to appeal. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.3, ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
15.1 Pre-Arbitration Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, the claiming party must provide written notice of the dispute to the other party. The notice must describe the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The parties will negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute for 30 days following receipt of such notice. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may initiate arbitration as provided below.
15.2 Binding Arbitration Agreement
Except as provided in Section 15.4 (Carveouts), all disputes, claims, and controversies arising out of or related to these Terms, the DPA, the AUP, or your use of the VocaIQ platform ("Disputes") that are not resolved pursuant to Section 15.1 shall be submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration administered by the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. ("ADRIC") pursuant to the ADRIC Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be Toronto, Ontario. The language of the arbitration shall be English, provided that either party may request that the arbitration be conducted bilingually in English and French. The arbitrator shall have authority to grant any remedy or relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction in Ontario, subject to these Terms.
The number of arbitrators shall be one (1) for Disputes involving amounts in controversy of less than CAD $500,000, and three (3) for Disputes involving amounts of CAD $500,000 or more. Arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with the ADRIC Arbitration Rules.
The arbitrator's award shall be final, binding, and non-appealable except on the grounds set forth in the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
15.3 Opt-Out Right
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to 2845341 Ontario Inc., 215 Daffodil Court, Attention: Legal - Arbitration Opt-Out, or by email to [email protected] with subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Your opt-out notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. If you opt out, all Disputes will be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction in Ontario as set forth in Section 15.6.
15.4 Carveouts from Arbitration
Notwithstanding Section 15.2, either party may seek the following relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without first complying with Section 15.1 or 15.2:
- Injunctive, emergency, or other equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other proprietary rights);
- Emergency interim relief pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal;
- Enforcement of an arbitral award;
- Claims that qualify for resolution in Small Claims Court in the jurisdiction where you reside.
15.5 Class Action and Representative Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION OR PROCEEDING. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable in whole or in part with respect to any particular claim, then only that particular claim or portion of that claim shall proceed in court; all other Disputes shall proceed in arbitration on an individual basis.
15.6 Governing Law and Courts
These Terms, the DPA, and the AUP are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. If Section 15.2 does not apply to a Dispute (including because you have opted out of arbitration or the Dispute falls within a carveout), the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario sitting in Toronto, Ontario for resolution of that Dispute, and each party irrevocably waives any objection to venue in those courts.
15.7 Consistency Across Documents
This Section 15 applies to Disputes arising under the Terms of Service, the Data Processing Agreement, and the Acceptable Use Policy. In the event of any conflict between the dispute resolution provisions of those documents, this Section 15 governs, except that Disputes arising exclusively from the DPA regarding regulatory enforcement or data subject rights may be resolved separately as provided in the DPA.
