If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Rent Right should be sent to 213 N Stephanie St, Henderson, NV (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Rent Right and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Rent Right may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Rent Right or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Rent Right is entitled.
- Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) and procedures, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer-Rules-Web.pdf. Unless Rent Right and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Rent Right agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of
the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
- Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties, unless necessary to enforce or confirm an award granted by the arbitrator, in which case the enforcing party may file the award in a court of competent jurisdiction.
- Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection, titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief,” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
- No Waiver of Remedies for Small Claims or Related Matters
This arbitration agreement does not limit the right of either party to pursue actions in court where the amount in controversy does not exceed $3,000. This arbitration agreement does not limit the ability of Rent Right to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies including injunctive relief, before, during, or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in this paragraph.
24. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
You acknowledge that any breach of these binding Terms is a material breach of this agreement between you and us and will cause irreparable harm and injury to us, for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Thus, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, you agree that in the event of such breach we shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief, whether or not liquidated damages are available, without the requirement that we post a bond.
Material breach of these binding Terms harms our integrity, functionality and reputation; detracts from users’ trust in and use of the Site; and damages our business. Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that we incur actual damages, which are extremely difficult or impossible to quantify, as a result of material breach of these binding Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, such damages would not constitute an adequate remedy at law or in any way affect your agreement that we would be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of such breach.
25. TERMINATION OF SERVICE
You understand and agree that in our sole discretion, and without prior notice, your access to the Site and Services may be terminated or suspended, and we may exercise any other remedy available and remove any Content, if we believe that your use of the Services and/or any Content you provide (a) violates (i) these Terms, (ii) our rights or the rights of our affiliates, licensors, or another user, or (iii) any law or regulation, or are otherwise objectionable or inappropriate; or (b) constitutes fraudulent or unlawful activity of any nature.
26. WAIVER
You understand and agree that any individual or entity that violates any term of these Terms is precluded from enforcing, agrees not to enforce, and covenants not to sue to enforce, any similar or related provision in any contract, including terms and conditions, terms of use and terms of service, asserted by such individual, entity or any affiliate thereof, as binding upon us or any of our affiliates.
27. MISCELLANEOUS
The division of these Terms into sections and the headings of the various sections in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that any principle of construction or rule of law that provides that an agreement shall be construed against the drafter of the agreement in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity in such agreement shall not apply to these Terms. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these Terms. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and us as a result of these Terms or your use of the Services. We may assign our rights and duties under these Terms to any party at any time without notice to you and without your express consent. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms. There shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms. Any provision of these Terms that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any expiration or termination of these Terms, or which is otherwise necessary to interpret the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms and continue in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms must be filed within one
(1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. If any provision of these Terms shall be held unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions (except with respect to Section 23, which shall be governed by Section 23.7). These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, and all other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede any agreements previously existing between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
