Alternative Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INVOLVING MULTIPLE CLAIMANTS, BUT THEY HAVE INSTEAD CHOSEN TO HAVE ALL DISPUTES DECIDED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT.
You and we hereby agree and consent that any claim, controversy, or dispute related to or arising out of access to and use of the Services, our marketing or communication with you, these Terms of Use (including the breach hereof), any promotions offered by Shiekh, or telephonic outreach, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or other legal theory (“Disputes”), will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator as described below.

The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under the law or in equity. Nothing in this arbitration agreement shall be construed as a waiver of either party’s right to seek public injunctive relief, and you and we agree to cooperate to affect the stay of any requests for public injunctive relief.
Any and all actions taken under this arbitration agreement are confidential and must not be disclosed to any third party. Any arbitral award will be final and binding and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration agreement applies to you and Shiekh and its affiliates and related entities. Interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), provided that if the FAA is found not to apply to any issue of interpretation and enforcement, then the issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules .All AAA arbitration proceedings will be held in a location reasonably convenient to both parties consistent with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you intend to seek arbitration you must first send a written demand for arbitration (“Demand”), by first class mail, FedEx, or UPS within the appliable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, the respondent in any Dispute will have the right to depose the claimant. Your Demand shall be sent and delivered to Shiekh support@shiekh.com . The Demand must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. If the parties cannot reach an agreement within 30 days after Shiekh’s receipt of the Demand, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form to initiate arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA site at www.adr.org . In addition to filing this form with the AAA, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send such a copy to Shiekh support@shiekh.com .
If any court or arbitrator determines that any term in this arbitration agreement is unenforceable for any reason as to any claim, then this arbitration agreement will be inapplicable to that claim only, and that claim will instead proceed through litigation in court rather than by arbitration, but only after the conclusion of the arbitration of any claim or dispute that is subject to this arbitration agreement.
Except if this arbitration provision does not apply, arbitration shall be your exclusive remedy.
Class Action, Class Arbitration, and Jury Trial Waiver
You and we further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and we each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration agreement set forth in this section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration (i) either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (ii) either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property or proprietary rights. Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of the claiming party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.
Mass arbitration
If ten (10) or more demands for arbitration of a dispute or claim subject to the arbitration agreement set forth herein are initiated: (i) that involve common questions of law or fact and (ii) where the initiating parties are represented by the same law firm, the same group of coordinated law firms, or the same representative; then such demands shall be coordinated pursuant to this paragraph. The group of claimants and group of respondents shall each select three (3) demands, for a total of six (6), to be filed with AAA (collectively the “Mass Filing Demands”). Each of the Mass Filing Demands shall be assigned by AAA to a different arbitrator chosen from its national roster. The remaining demands shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings until after ninety (90) days from the date all Mass Filing Demands have been arbitrated and all appeals are exhausted. After ninety (90) days from the date all Mass Filing Demands have been arbitrated and any appeals exhausted, any remaining Demands subject to this paragraph may be filed with AAA. The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings shall apply to the extent they are not inconsistent with this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Terms, you and Shiekh agree that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce the terms of this paragraph with injunctive or other relief.
Choice of Law; Entire Agreement and Severability
These Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, U.S.A. without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and expressly not by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in San Bernardino County and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Shiekh's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. This is the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except as described herein.
