10.5 You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of your use of our Websites or any products sold on our Website, including any dispute or claim as to the application, enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.

*There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Use. *

Arbitration shall be administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014, and conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Arbitration shall take place by phone, unless an in-person hearing is requested by either party. In that case, the hearing shall take place in the county where you reside. To the extent this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply.

Disputes may also be referred to another arbitration organization if you and Smartfruit agree in writing, or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.

To start an arbitration proceeding, you must execute and serve a Demand for Arbitration on Smartfruit by mailing it to insert address pursuant to the JAMS instructions. Smartfruit will bear the cost of your initial filing fee.

You and Smartfruit each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Smartfruit each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Smartfruit also both agree that you or Smartfruit may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
