MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
a. Scope of the Arbitration Agreement. Any legal dispute between the parties concerning or arising out of your participation in the Verde Prepaid Visa Rebate Program, your enrollment, purchase, these Terms of Service, these Terms of Use, these Terms and Conditions or the relationship among the parties (“Dispute”) shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration using the process explained below. The parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to sue or go to court to assert or defend their rights. However, either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar amount limitations that may apply, so long as maintained as an individual claim. The term “Dispute” refers to any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between us, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis.
b. Informal Dispute Resolution. Either party asserting a Dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice as specified below to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Notice shall be made by first class or registered mail (1) to Verde Energy at 12140 Wickchester Lane, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77079 or (2) to you at the postal address on file with us. Both you and Verde Energy agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
c. Right to Opt Out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first 30 days after the earliest of the first time you (a) enroll and begin purchasing services from Verde Energy; or (b) sign up for any further program or service provided by Verde Energy. You may also opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after we notify you regarding a material change to this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out by sending an email through Verde Energy’s website at Verdeenergy.com or by sending a letter to 12140 Wickchester Lane, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77079. You should include your printed name, mailing address, and the words “Reject Arbitration.”
d. How Arbitration Works. Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the AAA Commercial or Consumer rules, as applicable, in effect at the time the Claim is filed (“AAA Rules”). For information on how to file a claim, copies of the AAA Rules and forms can be located at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Arbitration shall take place in the country of your residence, as determined by your mailing address on file with us. We agree to pay or reimburse all costs associated with any arbitration between the parties, including filing fees and arbitrator fees, and agree to waive any right to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and costs against you. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
e. Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action & Representative Claims. All Disputes, whether resolved informally, in small claims court, or through arbitration, shall be brought on an individual basis. Disputes must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum, and the arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any entity or person not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, HOWEVER, THEY UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION.
f. Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and interpreting federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this provision or the Claim, the law of your residence, as determined by your mailing address on file with us, shall apply. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or of the arbitrator’s award; any such suit may be brought only in the federal court encompassing the county where the arbitration took place, or if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including any claim that all or any part of the Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause above entitled “Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action & Representative Claims.”
Assignment. We may assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns and licensees.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, plus any provision in your customer contract/agreement with the sponsor of the Verde Prepaid Visa Rebate Program, and these Terms of Use, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Parties relating to the subject matter herein.
