The SOMETHINGS Mentorship Platform
Welcome to the SOMETHINGS Mentorship platform (the “Platform”), which is owned and operated by Fond of You, Inc. d/b/a SOMETHINGS Mentorship (“SOMETHINGS,” “we,” “our” or “us”). The SOMETHINGS Platform allows parents and legal guardians (“Parents”) to find digital mentorship for their teenage children (“Teenagers”) by pairing their Teenager(s) with a young adult Mentor based on shared interests, experiences, and personality traits (“Mentors”) to provide mentorship. The Platform, and our Mentors, are focused on providing mentorship for academics, relationships, goals and other aspects of life for Teenagers.
Our Mentors do not provide any psychological or psychiatric therapy, medical or mental health services. If you are seeking such services, you should reach out to a medical health professional for such mental health or medical services. DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM OR REACH OUT TO MENTORS FOR ANY MENTAL HEALTH OR MEDICAL NEEDS, INCLUDING EMERGENCY MEDICAL NEEDS. IF YOU OR YOUR TEENAGER ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, INCLUDING A MENTAL HEALTH EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL “911” IMMEDIATELY. THE INFORMATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TEXT, GRAPHIC, IMAGES AND OTHER MATERIALS CONTAINED ON THE PLATFORM, ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS OR TREATMENT OF A MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION. ALWAYS SEEK THE ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED HEALTH CARE PROVIDER WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING A MEDICAL/MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION OR TREATMENT.
This Terms of Use agreement (the “Terms”) sets forth the legally binding terms and conditions between us, Parents who purchase a subscription for their Teenagers to the Platform, and Teenagers for their use of the Platform and interaction with Mentors, as described on our website at https://www.somethings.com/ (the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully. The term “you” refers collectively to both (i) Parents and (ii) Teenagers identified during the Platform registration process. By completing the registration process, and/or by accessing or using the Platform, you represent that (1) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by the Terms, (2) you have the authority to enter into these Terms personally, and (3) that each Parent and their Teenager have reviewed this Agreement together, and that the Parent agrees to these Terms on each Teenager’s behalf and takes full responsibility for their Teenager’s compliance with them. Teenagers understand that they cannot later void this agreement with SOMETHINGS as a minor without losing access to the Accounts (as defined below) and the Services, and Parents acknowledge that they are responsible for their Teenager’s actions and any obligations their Teenager’s has incurred while accessing the features and functions of the Services. Certain sections of the Terms shall apply only to Parents, and certain sections shall apply only to Teenagers. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you may not access or use this Platform or the Services.
Autorenewal
Parents, please note that if you subscribe to the Services on behalf your Teenager for an initial term, then these terms will be automatically renewed for additional subscription periods of the same duration as the initial term at SOMETHINGS’ then-current fee for the Services, unless and until you opt-out of the autorenewal in accordance with Section 5.5.
Supplemental Terms
Your use of, and participation in, certain Services may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”) and such Supplemental Terms will either be listed in the Terms or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service. If the Terms are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms shall control with respect to such Service. The Terms and any applicable Supplemental Terms are referred to herein as the “Terms.”
Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SECTION 10 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SOMETHINGS. AMONG OTHER THINGS, SECTION 10 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. SECTION 10 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ SECTION 10 CAREFULLY.
UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS: (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Updates to these Terms
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TERMS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY SOMETHINGS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME. When changes are made, we will make a new copy of the Terms available within the Platform. We will also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of these Terms. If we make any material changes, and you have registered with us to create an Account (as defined in Section 1.2 below) we will also send an e-mail to you at the last e-mail address you provided to us pursuant to the Terms. Any changes to the Terms will be effective immediately for new users of the Platform and will be effective thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Platform for existing users, provided that any material changes shall be effective for users who have an Account with us upon the earlier of thirty (30) days after posting notice of such changes on the Platform or thirty (30) days after dispatch of an e-mail notice of such changes to registered users. SOMETHINGS may require you to provide consent to the updated Terms in a specified manner before further use of the Platform and/or the Services is permitted. If you do not agree to any change(s) after receiving a notice of such change(s), you shall stop using the Services. Otherwise, your continued use of Services constitutes your acceptance of such change(s). PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE PLATFORM TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT TERMS.
The Services.
Purpose.
SOMETHINGS provides the Platform to allow Parents to arrange for Teenagers to connect with Mentors for mentorship. Teenagers may communicate with their Mentors (i) through the Platform. Through the Platform, we will take reasonable efforts to match Teenagers with Mentors that represent a good fit based on the materials supplied by you. However, we can’t guarantee that each Mentor will be the right fit. However, we will work with you to find a replacement if any Mentor relationship does not work out.
Accounts.
Teenagers are entitled to their own account which permits them to connect directly with their assigned Mentor (“Teenager Account”). Parents are entitled to an administrative account on the Platform to manage their Teenager’s subscription (“Parent Account”). Each subscription to the Services includes one Teenager Account and one Parent Account (each are an “Account”). The Teenager Account and Parent Accounts are linked, but independent of each other and have different access to the Platform. Additional Teenagers can be added to a single Parent Account if necessary.
Account Credentials.
When the Parent sets up a Parent Account and a Teenager Account, you must provide us with your email address and select a password (collectively, the “Account Credentials”), and such other information we request. Once a Parent Account is created, SOMETHINGS will reach out to the Teenager directly to set up the Teenager Account. We reserve the right to reject your Account Credentials and deny you access to the Platform at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. You may not transfer or share your Account Credentials with any third party, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account Credentials. You acknowledge and agree that we rely on Account Credentials to know whether users accessing the Platform are authorized to do so. If someone accesses our Platform using Account Credentials that we have issued to you, we will rely on those Account Credentials and will assume that it is really you who is accessing the Platform. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Account and all activities that occur under or in connection with your Account Credentials. You agree to be responsible for any act or omission of any users that access the Platform under your Account that, if undertaken by you, would be deemed a violation of these Terms, and that such act or omission shall be deemed a violation of these Terms by you. Please notify us immediately if you become aware that your Account is being used without authorization. You agree not to register for more than one Account. Your Account Credentials will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is located at https://www.somethings.com/privacy-policy.
Your Responsibilities.
By registering for an Account, you represent and warrant that all biographical information you transmit through the Platform to SOMETHINGS is true, accurate and complete. You understand that if SOMETHINGS becomes aware that you have breached this Section 1.4, SOMETHINGS may suspend or terminate your Account.
Updates.
You understand that the Platform is evolving and may be constantly updated or updated from time to time. As a result, SOMETHINGS may require you to accept updates to the Platform . You acknowledge and agree that SOMETHINGS may update the Platform with or without notifying you. You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to use Platform.
SOMETHINGS Communications.
By entering into these Terms, using the Platform, or using the Services, you agree to receive communications from us, including via e-mail, text message, calls, and push notifications. You agree that texts, calls or prerecorded messages may be generated by automatic telephone dialing systems. Communications from us and our affiliated companies may include but are not limited to: operational communications concerning your Account or your use of the Platform and Services, updates concerning new and existing features on the Platform and news concerning SOMETHINGS.
Mentor Communications.
For Parents.
Parents acknowledge and agree that a core component of a successful relationship between a Teenager and a Mentor is trust. We want Teenagers to be honest and candid with their Mentors in order to build and grow a successful relationship. As part of building this trust, you as Parent, acknowledge and agree that there needs to be a level of confidentiality between the Mentors and Teenagers, and that in order to maintain that confidentiality, the communications between Mentors and Teenagers on or through the Platform are to remain confidential to those participants and that your Parent Account does not entitle you to review or request these communications. You will be updated by your Teenager’s Mentor on general progress and receive regular updates and opportunities to set the direction of your Teenager’s mentorship. Where required by law, our Escalation Policies, or our other internal policies, we may notify you of communications between your Teenager and our Mentors.
For Teenagers.
Consistent with the above, Teenagers acknowledge and agree that SOMETHINGS will make best efforts to ensure the confidentiality of your communications with your Mentor, including from your Parent. However, if we are required by law or our other internal policies, SOMETHINGS may have a duty to report such communications to your Parent or to certain authorities. You acknowledge that we may do so in such circumstances.
Modification and Termination.
You agree that we, in our sole discretion, may immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Platform or any part of the Services at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion. We also reserve the right, at any time, to modify the Services or to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification of the Services or modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Platform.
3.1 Onboarding Right of Refusal.
You agree that we, in our sole discretion at any time in our onboarding process, may refuse to provide our services to your Teenager if it is deemed that your Teenager is in immediate need of clinical or professional medical services. We may, at times, administer the PHQ-9 self-assessment survey and reserve the right to refuse our services for a period of time to any Teenager who answers positively to the question of suicidality on the PHQ-9, scores a 15 or above on the PHQ-9, or for any other reason.

You understand and acknowledge that the software, code, proprietary methods and systems used to provide the Platform, including the Platform (“Our Technology”) are: (a) copyrighted by us and/or our licensors under United States and international copyright laws; (b) subject to other intellectual property and proprietary rights and laws; and (c) owned by us or our licensors.

We provide these materials only as a convenience and do not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to third party materials.
Fees.
The following Section 5 applies to Parents only. In order to enable your Teenager to access the Platform and be connected with Mentors, you may need to subscribe to the Services. SOMETHINGS offers a subscription service to the Services and each subscription contains one Parent Account and one Teenager Account. SOMETHINGS may offer you a free trial to access the Services for a certain time period. The following terms apply if you purchase a subscription to the Services:
Payment.
You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Parent Account in accordance with the fees, charges and billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable. You must provide SOMETHINGS with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) (“Payment Provider”) information as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement and not the Terms to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing SOMETHINGS with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that SOMETHINGS is authorized to immediately invoice your Parent Account for all fees and charges due and payable to SOMETHINGS hereunder and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify SOMETHINGS of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. SOMETHINGS reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Platform or by e-mail delivery to you.
Service Subscription Fees.
You will be responsible for payment of the applicable fee for any Services (each, a “Service Subscription Fee”) at the time you create your Parent Account and subscribe to a subscription plan. Except as set forth in the Terms, all fees for the Services are non-refundable. No contract will exist between you and SOMETHINGS for the Services until SOMETHINGS accepts your order by a confirmatory e-mail, SMS/MMS message, or other appropriate means of communication.
Taxes.
The payments required under Section 5.2 of these Terms do not include any Sales Tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under these Terms. If SOMETHINGS determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with these Terms, SOMETHINGS shall collect such Sales Tax in addition to the payments required under Section 5.2 of these Terms. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under the Terms are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to SOMETHINGS, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify SOMETHINGS for any liability or expense SOMETHINGS may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon SOMETHINGS’ request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
Withholding Taxes.
You agree to make all payments of fees to SOMETHINGS free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to SOMETHINGS will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide SOMETHINGS with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
Automatic Renewal.
Your subscription will continue until terminated in accordance with the Terms. After your initial subscription period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such subscription period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue indefinitely for an additional subscription period of the same duration, at SOMETHINGS’ then-current price for such subscription. You agree that your Parent Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date, by logging into and going to the Manage Subscription” page of your “Account Settings” page. If you do not wish your Parent Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, please contact SOMETHINGS at hello@somethings.com. If you cancel your subscription, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current subscription term; your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. By subscribing, you authorize SOMETHINGS to charge your Payment Provider now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent subscription period. Upon renewal of your subscription, if SOMETHINGS does not receive payment from your Payment Provider, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Parent Account upon demand and/or (b) you agree that SOMETHINGS may either terminate or suspend your subscription and continue to attempt to charge your Payment Provider until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Parent Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new subscription commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
Free Trials and Other Promotions.
Any free trial or other promotion that provides you access to the Services must be used within the specified time of the trial. At the end of the applicable trial period, you will be prompted to subscribe. If you subscribe, you will be enrolled in our monthly subscription Services and will be charged the applicable Service Subscription Fee, in accordance with Section 5.5 above, unless you choose not to enroll in the paid service. If you are inadvertently charged for a subscription, please contact SOMETHINGS at the following address: hello@somethings.com to have the charges reversed.
Billing Disputes.
Unless otherwise provided by the applicable payment processor or payment platform used in connection with your payment for Services, you must notify us in writing within seven (7) days after receiving your credit card statement if you dispute any of our charges on that statement or such dispute will be deemed waived. Billing disputes should be notified to the following address: hello@somethings.com.
Third Party Provider.
SOMETHINGS uses Stripe, Inc. as the third party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services). By subscribing to the Platform, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy and hereby consent and authorize SOMETHINGS and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more third-party provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.
Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify and hold SOMETHINGS and their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, the “SOMETHINGS Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to (a) any breach by you of these Terms; (b) your access, use or misuse of the Platform or Service; (c) your failure to comply with any and all applicable laws, orders, codes and regulations; and (d) any access to the Service using your login information. SOMETHINGS reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with SOMETHINGS in asserting any available defenses. This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the SOMETHINGS Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Platform or any Services provided hereunder. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Terms or your access to the Services.

Term and Termination.
Term. The Terms commence on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Terms. We may terminate and/or suspend the Services, your Account and/or these Terms in the event you breach any terms herein, or if required to do so by applicable law. If you want to terminate the Services provided by SOMETHINGS, you may do so by notifying SOMETHINGS at hello@somethings.com.
Effect of Termination. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service. Termination of all Services also includes deletion of your password and all related information, files and Your Content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof), including Your Content, unless we are required to retain a copy of Your Content in accordance with applicable law. Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Your Content associated therewith from our live databases. SOMETHINGS will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content. All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.
Dispute Resolution.
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with SOMETHINGS and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and SOMETHINGS agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services or of the Platform, or the Terms and prior versions of the Terms, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and SOMETHINGS may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or SOMETHINGS may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and SOMETHINGS. If that occurs, SOMETHINGS is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and SOMETHINGS agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and SOMETHINGS therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to SOMETHINGS that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to patrick@somethings.com or regular mail to our offices located at 424 Broadway Unit 602, New York City, New York 10013. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND SOMETHINGS 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 SOMETHINGS are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 10.1 above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND SOMETHINGS AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.9, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 10.9, entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this Section 10.4 are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and SOMETHINGS agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This Section 10.4 does not prevent you or SOMETHINGS from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
Rules and Forum. The Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and SOMETHINGS agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.
Unless you and SOMETHINGS otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 10.9 is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.
You and SOMETHINGS agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 10.9 is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the Section entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the Section entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such Section entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the Section entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the Section entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or SOMETHINGS need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and SOMETHINGS agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against SOMETHINGS by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by SOMETHINGS.
You and SOMETHINGS agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.
This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
