Dispute Resolution

You the User and Us (collectively ‘Parties’, individually ‘Party’) agree to the following mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions:

(a) MANDATORY ARBITRATION. The Parties agree to resolve any past or present claims relating to these Terms of Use or our Publication through final and binding arbitration.

(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. We would like to understand and try to address concerns prior to formal legal action. Before filing a claim against us, the agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending us notice at contact@stratinnova.com including your name, a description of the dispute, and the relief you seek.

If there is a dispute relating to the Publication or the Terms of Use, the parties will submit to mediation before having recourse to any other dispute resolution process. Written notice of the dispute will be given for it to be submitted to mediation before a mediator chosen by the parties or, where the parties cannot agree, by the Australian Disputes Centre (ADC). The parties will use their best endeavours to settle the dispute promptly. The mediation will be conducted in accordance with the ADC Mediation Guidelines to the extent that they do not conflict with the provisions of this clause. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days after notice of the dispute, the mediation will terminate.

If we are unable to resolve a dispute within 60 days, you may bring a formal proceeding. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during the 60-day resolution process. If you reside in the EU, the European Commission provides for an online dispute resolution platform, which you can access at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

(c) Arbitration Forum. Either party may commence binding arbitration through Australian Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services, an alternative dispute resolution provider. The parties will pay equal shares of the arbitration fees. If the arbitrator finds that the cannot afford to pay the arbitration fees and cannot obtain a waiver, we may elect to pay them for the . We will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that the claim is frivolous.

(d) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, video conference, or in person in Melbourne, Australia or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator by ADR Services under its then-prevailing rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except where an Australian court has the authority to determine (i) the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this DISPUTE RESOLUTION Section, including the mass filing procedures below, and (ii) whether you have complied with the pre-arbitration requirements in this section. The amount of any settlement offer will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any.

(e). Exceptions. This arbitration section does not require arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Publication or intellectual property infringement.

(f) NO CLASS ACTIONS. Disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

(g) Mass Filings. If, at any time, 30 or more similar demands for arbitration are asserted against us or related parties by the same or coordinated counsel or entities (“Mass Filing”), ADR Services will randomly assign sequential numbers to each of the Mass Filings. Claims numbered 1-10 will be the “Initial Test Cases” and will proceed to arbitration first. The arbitrators will render a final award for the Initial Test Cases within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference, unless the claims are resolved in advance or the parties agree to extend the deadline. The parties will then have 90 days (the “Mediation Period”) to resolve the remaining cases in mediation based on the awards from the Initial Test Cases. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding claims during this time, the parties may choose to opt out of the arbitration process and proceed in court by providing written notice to the other party within 60 days after the Mediation Period. Otherwise, the remaining cases will be arbitrated in their assigned order. Any statute of limitations will be tolled from the time the Initial Test Cases are chosen until your case is chosen as described above.
