The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award, if appropriate.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at https://www.adr.org/consumer , and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address: info@blockpartyinc.com.  Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.  BlockParty will reimburse those fees for Disputes totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous.  Likewise, BlockParty will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions unless you request, and/or the arbitrator determines, that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. In addition, you hereby unconditionally agree that (1) the arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms of Service and any of the other agreements referenced herein that you may have entered into in connection with the Site; (2) the arbitrator shall apply Colorado law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (3) in the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, you and BlockParty shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider.

(b) No Class Action Matters.  We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding or as an association.  In addition, we each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action and that the arbitrator may award relief (including injunctive relief) only on an individual basis. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.

(c) Choice of Law and Forum; No Jury Trial.  If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court: (i) except with respect to a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court, which you shall have the right to bring in a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which you reside, you and BlockParty agree that any Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court in Denver County, Denver, Colorado; (ii) you and BlockParty irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes; and (iii) you and BlockParty agree to waive any right to a trial by jury. You and BlockParty agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, the AAA rules, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, will govern this Dispute Agreement and any Disputes.

(d) Injunctive Relief.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Dispute Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property, or any illegal or intentional act affecting the accessibility, functionality, or the security of the Site, and/or any illegal or intentional act against your interests or the general business interests of BlockParty.

(e) Severability.  Except for Section 24(b) above, if any part of this Section 24 is ruled to be unenforceable, then the balance of this Section 24 shall remain in full effect and construed and enforced as if the portion ruled unenforceable were not contained herein. If Section 24(b) above is ruled to be unenforceable, then Section 24(a) shall be deemed unenforceable, but the rest of Section 24 shall remain in full effect.
