By using any BDS website, you agree to release and hold harmless BDS and its third-party suppliers and business partners, as well as each of their individual agents, directors, officers, employees, and all other related individuals or entities, from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, legal fees, costs, and expenses of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, arising from or in any way related to your use of the website. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, YOU WAIVE CALIF
If there is a disagreement between you and BDS regarding these terms of service, any goods or services you purchase from websites or businesses that BDS may refer you to, or any other matter (a “Claim”), you and BDS agree to settle it in accordance with the steps outlined below or as we may otherwise agree in writing. Without respect to the rules of choice or conflicts of law, claims are governed by the laws of the state of California in the United States of America.
Additionally, you and BDS consent to the Southern District of California’s jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or controversy that has to do with or arises from the Claim (as well as any non-contractual disputes or claims related to or arising from them) and is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 13.2.1.
Only American consumers are subject to this arbitration agreement.
Whether the claims are based on a contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether they surface during or after any relationship you have with BDS, you and BDS agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and BDS will be resolved by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and BDS also concur that any challenges to the existence, applicability, or scope of the Arbitration Agreement or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim shall be decided solely by the arbitrator in accordance with his or her own jurisdiction. A lawsuit in court is more official than arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and there is little scope for judicial review of an arbitration award. There could be less discovery than there would be in court. Except that the arbitrator may not provide any remedy, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone other than the parties to the arbitration, the arbitrator is bound by this agreement and has the same authority to award damages and other remedies as a court (including attorney fees). After the Service is discontinued, this arbitration clause will remain in effect.
Despite the preceding paragraph (13.2.1), you and BDS acknowledge that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed as waiving, precluding, or otherwise restricting either of our rights, at any time, to bring an individual action seeking only preliminary or temporary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final determination by the arbitrator.
You and BDS concur that neither party may file claims against the other except in its or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. No arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise take part in a representative or class action unless both you and BDS agree. The arbitrator may only provide injunctive remedy in the individual party’s favor and only to the degree required to satisfy that party’s particular claim for relief. Any limits in this paragraph that a court finds cannot be enforced with respect to a specific claim for relief must be removed from the arbitration and presented in court in that case (and only that claim).
We or you may initiate an arbitration procedure. The Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “AAA Rules”), as amended by this Arbitration Agreement, will govern any arbitration between you and BDS. You and BDS acknowledge and agree that this section shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (despite the choice of law provision above). You may find the AAA Rules and directions on how to initiate an arbitration action at betterdebtsolutions.com or by calling the AAA at (866) 212-4229. You can contact the AAA with the aid of BDS.
In order to initiate arbitration, a party must first provide a written notice of the dispute to the other party through certified mail, Federal Express, UPS, or Express Mail (with a necessary signature), or if we don’t already have your physical address on file, via email (“Notice”). Better Debt Solutions, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, 2525 Main St Suite 500, Irvine, California 92614 is where you may send notices to BDS. The notice must (1) lay forth the details of the dispute or claim, including its nature and origin, and (2) specify the requested relief (“Demand”). We both agree to make good faith attempts to settle the dispute directly, but if we are unable to do so within 30 days of receiving the Notice, either you or BDS may start an arbitration case. Aside from the purposes of the arbitration and the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award, all documents and information disclosed during the arbitration must be kept strictly confidential by the recipient. They must also not be used by the recipient for any other purposes and must only be disclosed in confidence to those who need to know for those purposes or as required by applicable law.
The parties concur that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue specified in Section 13.1 shall apply to any legal claims arising out of or connected with the Agreements in the event that all or part of this Arbitration Agreement is declared unlawful.
All notices to BDS must be sent by mail and be in writing to:
Better Debt Solutions LLC
2525 Main St. Suite 500
Irvine, CA 92614
Any right or condition of these Terms of Service that BDS does not execute or enforce shall not be deemed to have been waived by BDS . Any waiver of any of the terms of this agreement must be in writing and signed by BDS in order to be valid. The parties agree that, in the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the other terms shall continue in full force and effect and that the court should make an effort to give effect to the parties’ intentions.
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and to be executed solely within California between residents of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. The laws of the State of Idaho shall in all respects govern these Terms of Service if you are an Idaho resident.
Except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as indicated in paragraph 13, any claim or disagreement you may have against BDS must be decided by a court in San Diego, California.
In order to resolve any such claims or disputes, you consent to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts situated in San Diego County, California. Since Idaho consumers are subject to Idaho state law, you are exempt from this restriction if you are situated there. All claims that are filed or asserted in violation of Section 13 or this Section 14.3 are deemed to have been filed illegally. If you submit a claim incorrectly, BDS may be entitled to collect reasonable lawyers’ fees and expenses, provided that BDS has given you written notice of the incorrect claim and you have not quickly withdrawn it. Idaho customers are not affected by this.
Without express prior written agreement from BDS, granted in its sole discretion, you are not permitted to transfer or assign any of your rights or duties under these Terms of Service. You understand and accept, however, that BDS is free to assign or transfer any of its rights or responsibilities under these Terms of Service in any manner it chooses, without restriction or limitation.
