9. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES BY BINDING ARBITRATION
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 BY A JUDGE, JURY, OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. YOU CONTINUE
TO HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM A FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATORY AGENCY.
THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA.
9.1 Mandatory Binding Arbitration
All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Service and/or
the Device (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation,
or any other legal or equitable theory) must be resolved by final and binding
arbitration. This includes any dispute based on any Device, Service, advertising
or otherwise having a connection to this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted
by one arbitrator using the procedures described by this Section. If any portion
of this Resolution of Disputes by Binding Arbitration Section is determined to
be unenforceable, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect.
The arbitration of any dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association’s ("AAA") Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer-Related Disputes, as modified by this Agreement, which are in effect
on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. To the extent that such procedures
differ from this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern to the fullest extent
permitted by law. You have the right to be represented by counsel in arbitration.
In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound
by and strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement and may not limit, expand,
or otherwise modify its terms.
NO DISPUTE MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE
OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS WIDE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT
AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES
OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES. YOU AND ENDLESSCALLS BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD
OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
In the event that a dispute arises out of this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to its reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees,
regardless of whether in house or outside counsel is employed. If in house counsel
is employed, billing shall be at the rate of $300.00 per hour and billed in six
minute increments.
9.2 Arbitration Information and Filing Procedure
Before you take a dispute to arbitration or to small claims court, you must first
write to us at Endlesscalls, Inc., 9 Executive Park Drive, Billerica, MA 01862
and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before Endlesscalls
takes a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting
you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within sixty (60) days
from the date you or Endlesscalls is notified by the other of a dispute, then
either party may contact the AAA in writing at AAA Service Center, 134555 Noel
Road, Suite 1750, Dallas, TX 75240-6620 and request arbitration of the dispute.
Information about the arbitration process and the AAA’s Arbitration Rules
and its fees are available on the Internet at www.adr.org, or by contacting us
at billing@endlesscalls.com. The arbitration will be based only on written submissions
of the parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute,
unless either party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA’s
telephonic, online, or in-person procedures. Additional charges may apply for
these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted at a location the
AAA selects in Massachusetts in Middlesex or Norfolk Counties. Arbitrations under
this Agreement shall be confidential as permitted by federal law. However, by
filing for arbitration, you may elect to relieve both parties to the arbitration
of confidentiality obligations.
9.3 Time for Filing Claims
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or
cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the Agreement
must be filed with the AAA within one year after such claim or cause of action
arose or be forever barred.

of law provisions.

you and Endlesscalls and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior
agreements between you and Endlesscalls and any and all prior or contemporaneous
statements, understandings, writings, commitments, or representations concerning
its subject matter. No changes to this Agreement shall be binding upon either
you or Endlesscalls unless they are made pursuant to Section 6.
12. SEVERABILITY
If any part of this Agreement is legally declared invalid or unenforceable, all
other parts of this Agreement are still valid and enforceable. Such invalidity
or non-enforceability will not invalidate or render unenforceable any other portion
of this Agreement.
