IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 1542, WHICH STATES “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
13. Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH CARUCCI LEGAL AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. YOU AND CARUCCI LEGAL AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL B E FINALLYDECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION GOVERNING CONSUMER DISPUTES.
Arbitration uses a single, neutral arbitrator to decide a dispute (instead of a judge or jury); arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in a court case; and the arbitration process and result is subject to very limited review by courts. In an arbitration you have the right, at your expense, to be represented by an attorney of your choosing. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief under these Terms that a court can award under these Terms.
You and Carucci Legal agree that any in-person arbitral hearing would occur in the United States in the same county and state as your billing address. Carucci Legal further agrees that your filing fee for an arbitration will be capped at the amount set by the American Arbitration Association. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Carucci Legal are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and/or to participate in a class action. No demand for arbitration may be sustained after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statutes of limitation if this matter was filed in court. The arbitrator is authorized to dismiss the arbitration at any stage based on a determination that the claim is time barred or for any other legally or factually supported reason. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and the termination of your use of the Services. Further, unless both you and Carucci Legal agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. 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 that party’s individual claim.
14. Class Action Waiver
REGARDLESS OF THE FORUM, YOU AND CARUCCI LEGAL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
15. Termination
Notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use the Services at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that in such event we shall have no liability or obligation to you.
16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
Carucci Legal operates the Services from California, U.S.A. These Terms and the transactions they contemplate, including without limitation their interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., including its statutes of limitations, but without reference to conflict or choice of law provisions. The International Convention on the Sale of Goods, and other international treaties that are not mandatory with respect to contracts made and performed entirely in California shall not apply. The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall be state and federal courts sitting in the county of Orange, California and the parties agree not to raise, and waive, any objections or defenses based upon venue or forum non conveniens with respect to such courts.
17. Notice
All notices, demands, or consents given by you under these Terms will be in writing and will be deemed given when delivered to Carucci Legal at the following contact: info@caruccilegal.com. Any notices to you may be made via either email or postal mail to the address in Carucci Legal’s records or via posting on the Services. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing. Persons with disabilities who need assistance accessing these Terms may contact us as provided for in this Section, and depending on your individual needs, we will grant reasonable requests to furnish these Terms in an alternative format.
18. Severability
If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.
19. Miscellaneous
The Services are hosted in the United States of America. If you are located outside of the United States of America and you contact us, please be advised that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States of America and that by submitting information, you explicitly authorize such transfer. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Carucci Legal relating to your access to and use of the Services. These Terms, and any rights granted hereunder, may not be transferred, or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Carucci Legal. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of such provision in any prior, concurrent, or subsequent circumstance, and Carucci Legal’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
