To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to address or email address set forth in the  "Contact Us" section below. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, CaterCurator will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, CaterCurator will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.

(iv) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions; Severability - YOU AND CATERCURATOR AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS.

CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE MERCHANT CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor CaterCurator is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 12, and all other provisions of this Section 11 (Dispute Resolution) shall remain in force. If any provision of this Section 11 is adjudged to be void or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the void or unenforceable provision shall be severed and such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Section 11.

The letter may opt out, at most, only one merchant, and letters that purport to opt out multiple merchant will not be effective as to any. No merchant (or his or her agent or representative) may effectuate an opt out on behalf of other persons. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us. 
(vi) Survival - This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with CaterCurator.
(vii) Modification - Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if CaterCurator makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to the Company.


12. Litigation Class Action Waiver:  

To the extent allowed by applicable law, separate and apart from the Mutual Arbitration Provision found in Section 11, you agree that any proceeding to litigate in court any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether because you opted out of the Arbitration Provision or any other reason, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and you agree not to seek to have any controversy, claim or dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which you act or propose to act in a representative capacity ("Litigation Class Action Waiver"). You further agree that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all parties to any such proceeding. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or part of this Litigation Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
