Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

In the event we are unable to resolve any dispute through an informal dialogue, a third-party arbitrator or small claims court will help us resolve any disputes we might have, and any disputes will be resolved on an individual basis rather than as a class action.

You and AEGIS agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms, Site(s), or the relationship between you and AEGIS (a “Claim”) will be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.Either you or AEGIS can seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied.

Either you or AEGIS may seek to have aClaim resolved in small claims court in your county of residence, and you may also bring a claim in small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision, and that you and AEGIS are each waiving the right to atrial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of the Terms.

If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to AEGIS a written notice of your Claim (“Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim to AEGIS should be sent by certified mail to: 450 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, with an email copy to legal@aegisfinancialforensics.com. TheNotice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like AEGIS to use to contact you. A Notice of Claim must (a) describe the nature and basis of the Claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought; and (c) your personal signature. If AEGIS elects arbitration, AEGIS’s notice to you will be sent electronically to your email address on file and include the same requirements.

You and AEGIS agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and AEGIS therefore agree that, after aNotice of Claim is sent but before either you or AEGIS commence arbitration or file a Claim in small claims court against the other, we will personally meet, via telephone or video conference, in a good-faith effort to confer with each other and try to resolve informally any Claim covered by these Terms. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for sixty days (60) while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Claim is received, you or AEGIS may commence an arbitration proceeding by filing a Demand for Arbitration or, alternatively, by filinga Claim in small claims court. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or file aClaim in small claims court unless you and AEGIS are unable to resolve the Claim within sixty(60) days after we receive your completed Notice of Claim and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with AEGIS during that time.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org, except as modified by this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of California or the state of your residence and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators.Unless AEGIS and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in San Francisco,California or the county of the mailing address you provided in your Notice of Claim. AEGIS is primarily a B2B Site and you acknowledge this. If your use of the Site is on behalf of your employer or another business, you acknowledge that AEGIS may, at its election, opt to have theAAA Commercial Rules, rather than the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules apply.

The parties agree that an administrative conference with the AAA shall be conducted in each arbitration proceeding, and you and a AEGIS company representative or its designee shall appear at the administrative conference via telephone. If you fail to appear at the administrative conference, regardless of whether your counsel attends, the AAA will administratively close the arbitration proceeding without prejudice, unless you show good cause as to why you were notable to attend the conference.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. You are required to pay AAA’s initial filing fee, but, if your use of the Site was personal and not on behalf of an entity, AEGIS will reimburse you for this filing fee if you personally paid one at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county of residence or in San Francisco County, California, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Demand forArbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The parties agree that the AAA has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under theAAA Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase theAAA fees to you or AEGIS, and you and AEGIS waive any objection to such fee modification.

The arbitrator is bound by this arbitration agreement. Except as otherwise provided below, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless both you and AEGIS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate any other person’s Claims with your Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. AEGIS is entitled to seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration from you if 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)).Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall not preclude any party to the arbitration from at any time seeking injunctions orother forms of equitable relief in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction including whether a Demand for Arbitration is filed in violation of this arbitration agreement.

If a Claim qualifies for small claims court, but a party commences an arbitration proceeding, you and AEGIS agree that either party may elect instead to have the Claim resolved in small claims court, and upon written notice of a party’s election, the AAA will administratively close the arbitration proceeding. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator.

Unless you or AEGIS seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any Claim asserted by you or AEGIS and may award declaratory or injunctive 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.Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) AEGIS may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (b) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to waive or preclude any right to seek public injunctive relief in court as required by California law.

In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is held to be unenforceable, any claim against us must be brought exclusively in a federal or state court located in SanFrancisco, California, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; any such action remains fully subject to the Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver set forth herein.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS,REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If we believe that any claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with this limitation, then you agree that we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of this class action waiver. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim, the arbitration agreement and Class Action Waiver will not apply to that claim, but they will still apply to any and all other claims that you or we may assert in that or any other action. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, YOU ANDWE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.‍

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law; provided, however, that you and we each also agree that the arbitration agreement set forth herein affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitrationlaw, not state law, apply and govern the enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate set forth herein.

Miscellaneous

If we believe you have violated, are violating or may violate these Terms, or any applicable law, we may take any action we deem appropriate or required in our solediscretion, such as (without limitation) disabling or terminating your account and/or your access to the Site, canceling your order(s), or pursuing legal or other redress. AEGISmay pursue any legal or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages and injunctive relief; AEGIS’s remedies arecumulative and not exclusive. If AEGIS fails to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, it will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision; any waiver of anyprovision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by AEGIS. If any provision in these Terms is found to be unenforceable, then that provision will besevered from the remainder of these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Upon the termination of these Terms, any provision which,by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 3-14.”
