13. GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THIS SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.”
13.1. Governing Law and Arbitration. This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
13.2. Scope of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with this Agreement or the use of any Dityer Platform or service provided by Dityer that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court are to be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. All arbitration proceedings will be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Dityer, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms of Service. This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST DITYER IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
13.3. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either Party may seek arbitration, the Party must first send to the other Party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. The Notice to Dityer must be sent to P.O. Box 26293 Milwaukee, WI 53226. After the Notice is received, you and Dityer may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Dityer do not resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, either Party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any Party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
13.4. Arbitration Rules and Forum. Arbitration is to be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the Parties must select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider govern all aspects of the arbitration, including the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000 U.S. Dollars may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the Party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 U.S. Dollars or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the Parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator must give the Parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Dityer made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Dityer will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500. Each Party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider. Each arbitration proceeding, including any discovery, hearings, and rulings, will be confidential to the fullest extent permitted by law. If at any time the arbitrator or arbitration administrator fails to enforce the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, either Party may seek to enjoin the arbitration proceeding in court, and the arbitration will automatically be stayed pending the outcome of that proceeding.
13.5. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner will be chosen by the Party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the Parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
13.6. Time Limits. If you or Dityer pursues arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
13.7. Arbitration Appeal. If the arbitration award includes any injunction or a monetary award that exceeds $100,000, then either Party may appeal that award to an arbitration appellate panel. The notice of appeal must be served, in writing, on the opposing Party within 14 days after the award has become final.
13.8. Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, except with respect to the Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions, the enforceability of which can only be determined by a court. The arbitrator will determine all disputes regarding the payment of arbitrator or arbitration-organization fees including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Dityer. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and Dityer subject to Section 13.7.
13.9. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DITYER WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and Dityer are instead electing to have all Disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 13.2 above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
13.10. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions; Severability. YOU AND DITYER AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE MERCHANT CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class, consolidated, and representative actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor Dityer is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 14.1, after the conclusion of the arbitration of any arbitrable claims, and all other provisions of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution) will remain in force. The Parties also waive the right to bring any claims for public injunctive relief. If, however, this waiver of public injunctive relief claims is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, then all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any claim that all or part of this Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this Section 13 is adjudged to be void or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the void or unenforceable provision will be severed and such adjudication will not affect the validity of the remainder of this Section 13. Nothing in this provision will prevent you or Dityer from participating in a class-wide, collective, or representative settlement of claims.
13.11. Opt Out. Dityer’s updates to these Terms of Service do not provide a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you had previously agreed to a version of Dityer’s Terms of Service and did not validly opt out of arbitration. Dityer will continue to honor the valid opt outs of merchants who validly opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in a prior version of the Terms of Service. If you create a Dityer account for the first time on or after November 1, 2020, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Dityer may force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify Dityer in writing of your intention to opt out by sending a letter, by First Class Mail, to Dityer LLC P.O. Box 26293 Milwaukee, WI 53226. Any attempt to opt out by email will be ineffective. To be effective, your opt-out notice must be postmarked by the later of 30 days after this Terms of Service update or 30 days after your first order on the Dityer Platform. Your notice must include your name and address, your Dityer username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Dityer account (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. The letter may opt out, at most, only one merchant, and letters that purport to opt out multiple merchants will not be effective as to any. No merchant (or his or her agent or representative) may effectuate an opt out on behalf of other persons. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.
13.12. Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with Dityer.
13.13. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and must be severed and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
13.14. Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

13.16. Courts. In any circumstances where this Arbitration Agreement permits the Parties to litigate in court, the Parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, for such purpose. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, and each party waives any objections it may now or later have with respect to the venue or convenience of the forum.
13.17. Emergency Equitable Relief. Despite this Section 13, either Party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
13.18. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, any future material changes Dityer makes to this Arbitration Agreement will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to Dityer.
14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1. Litigation Class Action Waiver. To the extent allowed by Law, separate and apart from the Arbitration Agreement found in Section 13, any proceeding to litigate in court any Dispute, whether because Merchant opted out of the Arbitration Agreement or any other reason, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and Merchant shall not seek to have any controversy, claim or Dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which Merchant acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity (“Litigation Class Action Waiver”). No proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all Parties to any such proceeding. The enforceability of this Litigation Class Action Waiver will only be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or part of this Litigation Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable with respect to a particular claim or Dispute, then all such claims or Disputes will be resolved in court, after the conclusion of the arbitration of any arbitrable claims or Disputes, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
14.2. Relationship of the Parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, each Party is an independent contractor with respect to its performance of its obligations hereunder.

Neither Party has any right or authority to incur obligations of any kind in the name of, or for the account of, the other Party nor to commit or bind the other Party to any contract or other obligation. Under no circumstances is either Party considered to be, nor will either Party hold itself out as, an employee, agent, franchisee, or joint venturer of the other Party.
14.3. Regulatory Fees. If there is a Change in Law, Dityer may pass through such fees and/or costs generated as a result of the Change in Law to Merchant in the affected jurisdiction(s) with 15 days’ written notice.

Neither Party may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, and any attempted assignment without such consent will be void; provided that either Party may assign this Agreement without such consent, to an Affiliate, or in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assigning Party’s assets, or any other similar transaction. Subject to Section 14.8, this Agreement will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the permitted successors and assigns of each Party. This Agreement will not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties, their respective successors, and permitted assigns.
14.9. Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
