In the event we are not able to resolve your concerns informally, either party may initiate a binding arbitration proceeding administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services (JAMS). You and Dryvebox each agree to notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days prior to initiating an arbitration. You must send your notice of dispute to Dryvebox by email to info@dryvebox.com. If Dryvebox initiates arbitration, we will send our notice of dispute by email to the address on your Account. Your notice of dispute must include: (i) your name, Account information, and preferred contact information, and (ii) a brief description of the events leading to your dissatisfaction or loss, and (iii) your request to resolve the claim. Following receipt of notification, the parties will attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may commence arbitration by filing a written Demand for Arbitration (available at
www.jamsadr.com).
13.3. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (
https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/) or its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (
https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/), generally depending on the value of the dispute, and as amended by this Agreement. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees except as set forth in this Agreement. If you initiate arbitration, you will be responsible for up to $100 in arbitration filing fees and Dryvebox will pay arbitration filing fees in excess of $100. Dryvebox will pay the filing fees for any arbitration it initiates. Dryvebox will only seek reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration if your claims are objectively baseless, duplicative, or brought to harass Dryvebox. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. The arbitrator will have the authority under this contract to conduct in-person appearances only in San Francisco, California, or at the nearest available JAMS location to your use of the Services if the dispute relates to your use of the Services. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court, including temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
13.4. Binding Individual Arbitration. YOU AND DRYVEBOX MUTUALLY AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Except for disputes described in Section 13.6 below, all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our Services or any aspect of the relationship between you and Dryvebox, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. YOU AGREE THAT DRYVEBOX AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. The validity, enforceability, revocation, interpretation, or application of this arbitration provision will be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.
13.5. Class Action Waiver. You agree that any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class or collective action.

This arbitration agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims brought on an individual basis: (1) disputes or claims that may be brought in small claims court; (2) claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment occurring in connection with your use of the Services; (3) disputes or claims that arise from actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and/or (4) claims arising from loss of life. Furthermore, this arbitration agreement does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to prevent imminent harm or to otherwise address exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack, security threats, data breach, confidentiality breach, infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, etc.).
13.7. This arbitration agreement also applies to claims between you and Dryvebox’s affiliates, and any representatives, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors, insurance carriers, predecessors and successors in interest, officers and directors of Dryvebox or its affiliates (individually and collectively, the "Dryvebox Parties"), and such Dryvebox Parties shall be considered intended third-party beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement.

Unless otherwise stated in our notice and except for the waivers and releases in Sections 2 and 9 and the arbitration agreement of Section 13, the amended Agreement or additional terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of our Services after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between you and us arising prior to the date on which we posted the revised Agreement or additional terms incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified you of such changes.
