Governing Law

Dispute Resolution

If you have a legal dispute with Matchndate, except where prohibited by applicable law, the Parties hereby agree to proceed as follows.

Any dispute, claim or controversy between you and Matchndate that arises from or relates in any way to this Agreement (including any alleged breach of this Agreement), or Matchndate’s relationship with you (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be exclusively resolved through binding individual arbitration except as specifically provided otherwise herein. “Dispute”

as used in this Agreement shall have the broadest possible meaning and include claims that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement and claims that arise during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement. You and Matchndate each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to litigate disputes in court in favor of individual arbitration (except as set forth below). You and Matchndate each waive the right to file or participate in a class action against the other or otherwise to seek relief on a class basis. If there is a judicial determination that any particular claim cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision’s limitations, then only that claim may be brought in court. All other claims remain subject to this provision.

Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, user name, email address or phone number you use for your Matchndate account, a detailed description of the dispute and the relief that you seek. Any Notice of Dispute that you send to us should be emailed to us at support@matchndates.com with a copy mailed to PO Box 1824, Middleburg, VA 20118. Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address that you use with your Matchndate account (or by other appropriate means). If we are unable to resolve a dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.

The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent VCorp Services, LLC, 1013 Centre Road, Suite 403-B, Wilmington, DE 19805. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000 (not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest) shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Matchndate will pay them for you. In addition, Matchndate will reimburse all such JAMS’ filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines that the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Matchndate may elect to have an individual claim heard in a small claims court having jurisdiction over the claim. If the request to proceed in small claims court is made after an arbitration has been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. All other issues (except as otherwise provided herein) are exclusively for the arbitrator to decide, including but not limited to scope and enforceability of this Agreement, as well as any request to proceed in small claims court that is made after an arbitrator has been appointed.

You may opt out of this provision within 30 days of the date that you agreed to this Agreement. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, user name, email address or phone number you use for your Matchndate account (and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement) to: support@matchndates.com.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS; ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE; AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

YOU AND Matchndate HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Matchndate are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

The foregoing shall not preclude Matchndate from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction located in other countries and jurisdictions for protection of Matchndate’s intellectual property.

Miscellaneous.

Entire Agreement. These Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Matchndate with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Severability. If any part or parts of this Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Waivers.No waiver by us of any right under or term or provision of these Terms will be deemed a waiver of any other right, term or provision of these Terms at the time of such waiver or a waiver of that or any other right, term or provision of these Terms at any other time.
