Although the Software available on this Site is effective at identifying and addressing many of the factors that can negatively affect computer or mobile device performance and/or security, there are numerous other factors that may not be identified or addressed by the Software. You acknowledge and agree that the Software does not identify and address all potential factors that can negatively affect computer or mobile device performance and/or security, and you further acknowledge and agree that your computer's or mobile device's performance and/or security may not improve until all such factors are addressed. In some cases, additional Software or other measures may be necessary for your computer or mobile device to attain optimal performance and/or security.

In some instances, these issues may be harmless and will not affect the performance or operation of the computer system. Certain computer issues may consistently reappear and thus will be repeatedly detected by the software.

9. CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION

THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION SECTION PROVIDES THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OF USE MAY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, WHICH REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT. THIS SECTION PROHIBITS YOU FROM BRINGING A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT, INCLUDING IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, AND PROHIBITS YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLAIM IN ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IN ADDITION, THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION SECTION PROHIBITS YOUR ABILITY TO BE PART OF ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE, AND PROHIBITS YOUR ABILITY TO BE REPRESENTED IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9 INCLUDE ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST SpeedLane WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICE. TO THE EXTENT A PROVIDER OF A THIRD PARTY SERVICE JOINS SpeedLane IN ANY ACTION BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH PROVIDER, YOU AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 9 SHALL APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST SpeedLane. IF NOT FOR THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION SECTION, YOU MAY HAVE OTHERWISE HAD A RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN A CASE FILED IN COURT BY OTHERS (INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS) AND YOU AND WE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BELOW, YOU WAIVE ANY OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO A COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL A DECISION.

You acknowledge and agree that this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section and the agreements contained herein are made pursuant to a transaction that involves interstate commerce, and shall be governed by, and be enforceable under, the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.) as it may be amended from time to time. The circumstances and procedures under which Claims (as defined below) may be resolved by arbitration instead of in court are set forth herein. For the purposes of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section, “we,” “us” and “SpeedLane” means SpeedLane LLC, including any parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, or assigns, and all of their officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns.

For the purposes of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section, a "Claim" shall be any claim, dispute or controversy brought by either you or us against the other or against the employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, beneficiaries, agents or assigns of the other and arising from or relating in any way to the Software Purchase Agreement, the EULA, these Terms of Use, or otherwise related to the SpeedLane LLC Software or services purchased or obtained by you from us or any partner or retailer. Subject to the provisions of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section, either party hereto may elect to pursue mandatory binding arbitration with respect to any Claim. A party who initiates a proceeding in court may elect arbitration with respect to any such Claims advanced in the lawsuit by any party or parties. This Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section governs all Claims, whether based in law, common law, tort, contract, status, regulation, ordinance, constitutional provision, or any other legal theory of law, including respondeat superior, or any other legal or equitable ground. In addition, this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section governs whether or not such Claims seek as remedies declaratory relief, equitable relief, money damages, penalties or injunctions. For the purposes of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section, the term Claim is to be given the broadest possible meaning, including counterclaims, cross claims, third party claims, interpleaders or otherwise. Any claim, dispute or controversy regarding the applicability of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section or the validity of any or all of the Software Purchase Agreement, the EULA or these Terms of Use or any prior Software Purchase Agreement, EULA or these Terms of Use are also Claims for the purposes of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you retain the right to pursue any Claim in a small claims court and proceed on an individual basis for any such Claim that is within the court's jurisdiction. Arbitration of Claims will be conducted as an individual action. Neither party agrees to any arbitration on a class or representative basis and the arbitrator shall not have authority to proceed with any arbitration on a class or representative basis. Even if a class action lawsuit or other representative action is filed, including in the form of a private attorney general action, any Claim between you and us related to such lawsuits will be subject to an individual arbitration claim if so elected by either you or us. Arbitration proceedings with respect to separate Claims will not be consolidated without the consent of all parties. Only those Claims that are (1) brought by us against you, or your heirs or your trustee in bankruptcy or (2) brought by you, or your heirs or your trustee in bankruptcy against us, may be joined in an individual action under this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing (a) the nature and basis of the Claim or dispute; and (b) the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The Notice to SpeedLane should be addressed to: Dispute Resolution Agent, SpeedLane LLC, 2443 Fillmore St #380-8450, San Francisco, CA 94115 USA ("Notice Address"). You must notify us of any Claim brought by you within 100 days of the event or events giving rise to such Claim or you will have waived your right to bring such Claim or to participate in any legal action relating to such Claim. If SpeedLane and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or SpeedLane may commence an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by SpeedLane or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or SpeedLane is entitled. After SpeedLane receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee required by the arbitration administrator, unless your Claim is for greater than $75,000.

The party filing a Claim in arbitration must choose one of the following two arbitration administrators: American Arbitration Association; or JAMS/Endispute ("JAMS"), both of which are independent from us. Any arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the selected arbitration administrator by an impartial third party chosen in accordance with the rules of the selected arbitration administrator and as provided herein. Arbitration hearings will be held at a place chosen by the arbitrator or arbitration administrator within the federal judicial district in which you reside at the time the Claim is filed or at some other place as agreed by the parties in writing. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing as established by the rules of the arbitration administrator. Copies of the current rules of the arbitration administrators named above, and well as information about arbitration and arbitration fees, and instructions for initiating arbitration may be obtained by using the following contact information:

Claims will be resolved by a single, neutral arbitrator, who will be either a lawyer with at least ten years experience or a retired or former judge. The applicable procedures and rules of the arbitration administrator that are in effect on the date the arbitration is filed will govern the arbitration unless those procedures and rules are inconsistent with this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section, in which case the procedures and rules of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section will prevail. The procedures and rules of arbitration may limit the amount of discovery available to you or us in the proceeding. Applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations will be applied, and the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. At your discretion, you may have a hearing and be represented by counsel. Reasonable steps will be taken by the arbitrator to protect customer information and other confidential information, and the arbitrator may use protective orders to prohibit disclosure outside the arbitration if requested to do so by either party. The arbitrator will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided for under applicable law, the Software Purchase Agreement, the EULA and these Terms of Use. The arbitrator will not have the power to award relief to, against, or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator may award punitive damages or attorneys fees if the law, the Software Purchase Agreement, the EULA and/or these Terms of Use authorizes such relief. Any award made by the arbitrator will be evidenced in writing by the arbitrator, but the arbitrator is not required to provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, SpeedLane will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the rules of the arbitration administrator. In such case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the rules of the arbitration administrator. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the rules of the arbitration administrator.

If, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your Claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of SpeedLane's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then SpeedLane will: pay you the amount of the award or $10,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater; and pay your attorney, if any, twice the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration ("the attorney premium").

If SpeedLane did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before an arbitrator was selected, you and your attorney will be entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney premium, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

Any failure or other delay by either party in enforcing this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section at any time, or in connection with any particular Claims, will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. Decisions rendered in arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties. There shall be no appeal from arbitration decisions other than for arbitrator bias, fraud or misconduct and any award granted in arbitration will be enforceable by any court having jurisdiction as provided by the FAA and/or other applicable law.

This Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section shall survive: (i) termination of, or changes in, the Software Purchase Agreement, the EULA or these Terms of Use and any relationship between you and us; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party or any other similar proceeding initiated by you or on your behalf; and (iii) payment in full of any debt by you or by a third party. Should any portion of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section be deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, we agree that if we makes any future change to this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section (other than a change to the Notice Address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Class Action Waiver And Arbitration Section.
