13.1. IMPORTANT NOTICE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY.


13.2. ARBITRATION. EMS and you agree to arbitrate in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth any and all disputes and claims between you and EMS except with respect to claims for amounts owed for services rendered. Arbitration means that all disputes and claims will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of by a judge or jury in a court. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible meaning under the law. It includes, but is not limited to: disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or any aspect of the relationship between you and EMS, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; disputes and claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); disputes and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of individual litigation; disputes and claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and disputes and claims concerning the scope of this arbitration provision. References to “EMS,” “us” and “you” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Service under this Agreement or any prior agreements between you and EMS. The award of the arbitrator in any such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced and entered in judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.


13.3. Informal Resolution of Disputes. Our Customer Care Department can resolve most customer concerns quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction. If you have a dispute or claim against us, you should first contact the EMS Customer Care Department at info@expertmarketingservice.net and provide a detailed statement of the basis of your claim or dispute, including documents or analysis supporting your position. You agree that customer care shall be provided fourteen (14) days in which to research and respond to your claim. In the event your dispute or claim is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may seek to have that dispute or claim resolved as set forth below.


13.4. Formal Notice of Disputes. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party a written “Notice of Dispute” setting forth in detail, including submission of supporting documentation, the grounds of your dispute. The Notice of Dispute to EMS must be sent to EMS by certified mail addressed to 3857 Birch Street #573, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attn: EMS Legal Department.


13.4.1. Resolution of Disputes. The Notice of Dispute must describe the nature and basis of the dispute or claim and set forth the specific relief sought. If you and EMS do not reach an agreement to resolve the dispute or claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or EMS may commence an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by you or EMS shall be non-discoverable and shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or EMS is entitled.


13.5. Rules of Arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Santa Ana, California, in accordance with the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association.


13.6. Waiver of Judge or Jury Trial. You and EMS agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and EMS are waiving the right to a trial by judge or jury.


13.7. Waiver of Class Actions. You and EMS agree that the arbitrator may award 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. You and EMS agree that you and EMS 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. You and EMS agree that, unless you and EMS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific waiver of class actions provision, or any portion thereof, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution and binding arbitration provision shall be null and void.


13.8. Statute of Limitations. You must present a claim within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute (except for billing disputes which are subject to section 10 and 11 of the agreement), or you hereby agree to waive the right to pursue a claim based upon such event, facts, or dispute.


13.9. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the obligation to arbitrate and any other provisions to the contrary herein, you and we agree that (a) with respect to claims for unpaid monthly or other charges payable by you to EMS under this Agreement, we may take our dispute to small claims court or any other court of competent jurisdiction if the amount of such claim exceeds the dispute limits of the small claims court; (b) if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due debt and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or the Agreement; (c) you or we may take any disputes over the validity of any party’s intellectual property rights to a court of competent jurisdiction; (d) any dispute related to or arising from allegations associated with fraudulent or unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of service may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction; and (e) either you or we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or EMS, pending the completion of arbitration. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in Santa Ana, CA for any such court proceedings.


13.10. Modification of Arbitration Provisions. If EMS makes any substantive change to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, you may cancel your service agreement with us and the arbitration provisions set forth in this Agreement shall remain in effect until such cancellation is complete. Failure to cancel within ten (10) days after notification of a change to the arbitration provisions shall constitute your acceptance of any such change.


13.11. Venue/Jurisdiction. All claims for Arbitration shall be submitted to and arbitrated in Santa Ana, California pursuant to the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Any evidentiary or other hearings required by the Arbitrator shall be heard in Santa Ana, California.


14. Assignment. EMS may assign or otherwise transfer all or part of its rights or duties under the Agreement without notifying you. If we do that, any such assignment or transfer shall be fully binding on you and we will have no further obligation to you with respect to that portion of the service which is assigned or transferred. You may not assign the Agreement or the Service without our prior written agreement of EMS.


15. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement relating to indemnification, limitations on liability, warranty limitations and disclaimers, resolution of disputes, arbitration, billings and your obligation to pay for the Service provided and any additional usage charges, shall survive the termination of the Agreement and the termination of the Service.
