  1. Dispute Resolution

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section 12 (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate most disputes with T1D Exchange and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

12.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. If a dispute arises between you and any of the T1D Exchange Parties, it is the goal of T1D Exchange to work in good faith with you to quickly and amicably resolve the dispute. All disputes, claims, or controversies (“Claims”) arising under or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services that cannot be resolved informally, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration as described herein. The obligations to arbitrate shall not: (i) apply to violations of the Restrictions on Use of the Site set forth in Section 6; or (ii) prevent a party from seeking a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, specific performance or other procedures in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain interim relief when deemed necessary by such court to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable injury pending resolution by arbitration of the actual dispute. IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH T1D EXCHANGE, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST T1D EXCHANGE ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING COVERED CLAIMS AGAINST T1D EXCHANGE ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

12.2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. Any dispute arising under or related to these Terms, the Site, or the Services (including the arbitrability of such a dispute and the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, termination or breach thereof) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), with the arbitration to be commenced no later than one (1) year after such Claim accrues (in absence of which it shall be deemed forever waived). A judgment upon an arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall be an expert in the field of Internet services. All parties shall bear their own expenses, except that the parties shall equally share the expenses of the arbitrator (except for the required non-refundable filing fees which shall be paid solely by the party asserting the related Claim).

12.3. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND T1D EXCHANGE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and T1D Exchange are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Section 12, except as specified in section 12.1.

12.4. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that this section 12.4 is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute and instead the applicable claim or dispute shall be resolved in a court as set forth in section 12.6.

12.5. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section 12 by emailing a timely written notice of your decision to info@t1dexchange.org within 30 days after first becoming subject to these Terms and this Section 12. Your notice must include your name and address, your T1D username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Site account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Section 12. If you opt out of this Section 12, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Section 12 has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with us.

12.6. Jurisdiction and Venue. Exclusive jurisdiction and venue for arbitration or any other legal action or proceeding in any way related to the Site, the Services, or these Terms shall be in Boston, Massachusetts. Any matter brought before a court shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts.
