Unless you timely provide Twain Time with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and Twain Time are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Twain Time otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms
(iii) Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
(iv) Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a general Demand for Arbitration form and a separate form for Demand for Arbitration for California residents.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
(v) Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
(vi) Fees
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Twain Time will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
(vii) Changes
Notwithstanding the provisions as regards how we can make changes to these Terms, if Twain Time changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to service@twaintime.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of Twain Time’ email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Twain Time in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined by a court to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and that this Agreement will in any event otherwise remain valid and enforceable.

Survival
After this Agreement terminates, the terms of this Agreement and the other Terms that expressly or by their nature, contemplate performance, after this Agreement terminates or expires, will survive and continue in full force and effect. For example, the provisions requiring arbitration, permitting audits, protecting intellectual property, indemnification, payment of fees, reimbursement, and setting forth limitations of liability each, by their nature, contemplate performance or observance after this Agreement terminates. Without limiting any other provisions of the Terms, the termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release you or Twain Time from any obligations incurred prior to termination of this Agreement or that thereafter may accrue in respect of any act or omission prior to such termination.
-
Waiver
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly so provided in writing. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions. We do not guarantee that well will pursue legal actions against all breaches of this Agreement.
-

-
Force Majeure
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, if either party is in good faith prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement because of an event beyond the control of the Party concerned, including without limitation, war (declared or undeclared), acts of God, terrorism, laws, regulations, earthquake, accident, explosion, fire or flood, such Party will promptly notify the other Party, and while so affected, the affected Party will be relieved from performing its obligations provided that, the Party affected will take all reasonable steps to promptly remedy the cause of such delay or failure if it is in its power to do so.
Twain Time also reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cease to operate entirely if operations become inoperable. We shall not be liable to you for any liability or impact that any of such modifications may have on you.
