10. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of these Terms is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
11. GOVERNING LAW. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the App shall be subject to and brought in accordance with the Dispute Resolution provision in Section 12, below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all policies for motor vehicle insurance obtained through or with the assistance of the App are governed by the laws in the state in which such policies are written.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER. By downloading and using the App, you agree to resolve any claim that you may have against SteadyDrive on an individual basis in mandatory binding arbitration, as set forth in and in accordance with this Section 12. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against SteadyDrive, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against SteadyDrive by someone else.
- 12.1. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. You and SteadyDrive agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the App, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and SteadyDrive, and not in a court of law. You acknowledge and agree that you and SteadyDrive 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. Unless both you and SteadyDrive otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and SteadyDrive each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
-
- 12.2. Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Section 12, including any claim that all or any part of this Section 12 is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Section 12 evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Section 12 or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of New York.
-
- 12.3. 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 form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state in which the arbitration is conducted and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute 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.
-
- 12.4. Procedure. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and SteadyDrive submit to the Arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
-
- 12.5. Arbitrator's Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. 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. An Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator's decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. SteadyDrive will not seek, and hereby waives all rights SteadyDrive may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if SteadyDrive prevails in arbitration.
-
- 12.6. 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 $75,000, SteadyDrive 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)).
-
- 12.7. Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions in these Terms regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if SteadyDrive changes this Section 12 after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by providing SteadyDrive written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Effective” date above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail or hand delivery to our registered agent for service of process, Auto Enablers LLC c/o Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington DE 19808, or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to: Help@SteadyDrive.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this Section 12. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and SteadyDrive in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12 as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).
-
- 12.8. Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Section 12 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Section 12 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 12; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
-

15. WAIVER. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any applicable purchase or other terms, the terms of these Terms shall govern.
