ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
INITIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
We are available by email at to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the FSC Online Services. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which a precondition to shall be either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
TERMS OF SERVICE AND BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or your use of the FSC Online Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS on a non-confidential basis in accordance with the provisions of its then-effective rules, including any streamlined procedures, but excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision and the parties hereby reject, waive and disclaim the application of any state Arbitration Act.
The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/, or by calling JAMS at 1.800.352.5267. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, FSC will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of fees should be submitted to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and FSC will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
The parties further agree any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
EXCEPTION - SMALL CLAIMS COURT CLAIMS
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
EXCEPTION—CALIFORNIA PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT (PAGA) ACTION.
Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a court of law for a claim arising under California’s Private Attorneys General Act.
30 DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: FSC Arbitration Opt-Out, 5660 W Cypress St Suite A Tampa, FL 33607. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the FSC Online Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, FSC also will not be bound by them.

The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Tampa, FL for any litigation other than small claims court actions. The Parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in Tampa, FL for any litigation and hereby waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction of Tampa, FL over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) these Terms or the FSC Online Services, and (b) any acts or omissions of any of the Covered Entities in connection with these Terms or the FSC Online Services.
