The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small claims court matters, as provided below. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with us as follows.
14.1 Initial Dispute Resolution. Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach our support department at hi@wellup.io, and except for intellectual property and small claims court matters, the Parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with our support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either Party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
14.2 Binding Arbitration. If the Parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either Party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms (including the Terms’ or the Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the Parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, as described below.
Where the relief sought is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), or less, and you do not wish to bring the claim in small claims court, then the arbitration will be conducted online by an online arbitration provider of our choosing in accordance with their applicable commercial arbitration rules and procedures effective at the time a claim is made. Currently, to start, you may initiate arbitration proceedings on the Fair Claims website. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees, unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of these Terms to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Miami, Florida. Where the relief sought is between $10,001 and $250,000, the arbitration shall be before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules. Where the relief sought exceeds $250,000, arbitration shall be before a panel of three (3) arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To start an arbitration with JAMS, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com; (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 600 Brickell Avenue, Unit 2600, Miami, Florida 33131; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at 12300 SW 130th Street, #7, Miami, Florida 33186, ATTN: Legal. You will be required to pay $250.00 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all other fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.
The arbitrator(s), and not any Federal, State, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of an agreement under the Terms or the Privacy Policy, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Terms or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator(s) shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitral award shall be written and shall be binding on the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The Parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The Parties further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
The Parties further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any Federal or State court sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
14.3 Small Claims. As an alternative, you may bring your Claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if within such court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring Claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Company will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any Claims covered by these Terms to arbitrate.
14.4 Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE HEREBY GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS.
14.5 Arbitration Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending a written notice of your decision to opt-out to at hi@wellup.io with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT”.

You agree that we may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights in any court having jurisdiction. With respect to any other proceeding that is not subject to arbitration under these Terms, the Federal and State courts sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida will have exclusive jurisdiction.
