Before filing a claim against Svvy®, You agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending to admin@besvvy.com a written “Notice of Dispute” (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of Your claim or dispute, Your phone number, email and formal mailing address, and the requested relief. After the Notice is received, We will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting You through email or telephone. If a dispute is not resolved within 45 days after Our receipt of Your Notice, then You or We may bring a formal proceeding as permitted below. If applicable, the amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator (as further described below) until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

24. Formal Dispute Resolution. The following shall govern all claims by You against Svvy® relating to or in connection with the User Terms (or the Common Agreements or Referral Agreements) and Services (including the Website and Content), and any transaction between You and Svvy.
a. Governing Law. The User Terms (or the Common Agreements) and the resolution of all disputes hereunder shall be governed, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Arizona, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.
b. Arbitration. Certain claims must be resolved through arbitration, as set forth in the section below pertaining to arbitration (“Arbitration Section”).
c. Jurisdiction and Venue. Any litigation not required to be resolved through arbitration will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the city where You reside, and You hereby consent and submit to such jurisdiction and venue, and waive any jurisdictional, venues and inconvenient forum objections to such courts. You hereby agree that such courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim brought by You.
d. Waiver of Jury Trial. In the event any litigation should arise between You and Svvy® in any state or federal court to resolve a claim or dispute or to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND Svvy WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL. Instead, You and Svvy® elect that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
e. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED (WHICHEVER APPLICABLE) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER.
f. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either You or Svvy® may bring an individual action in small claims court.
g. No Injunctive Relief. In no event shall You seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Services or Website or provision of any Content, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Services, Website or Content or any content or other material used or displayed through the Services or Website.
h. Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of any Svvy® Property, Svvy confidential information, or Svvy®’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets (or any other intellectual property rights) shall not be subject to these arbitration terms.

25. Arbitration. Please read this Arbitration Section carefully. It is part of Your agreement with Svvy® under these User Terms and affects Your rights.
a. Applicability of Arbitration. All claims and disputes (except for those specified in Section 24, entitled “Formal Dispute Resolution”) in connection with the User Terms (or the Common Agreements) or the use of any product or service provided by Svvy® that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under this Section 25. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Section applies to You and Svvy®, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, independent contractors, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the User Terms.
b. Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall mutually agree, in good faith, to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the User Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) (governing the arbitration) and the arbitration notice and forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, or if permissible two or three arbitrators, each of whom was or is an attorney and has professional experience in investment advisory services, and related products and services in the financial, Fintech and employment benefits industries.
i. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. Such party must select such option in writing.
ii. For claims or disputes where the total amount of award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules.
iii. Any hearing will be held in a location within fifteen (15) miles of Our principal place of business, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
iv. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
v. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider, unless the arbitrator determines Your claim is frivolous, then You shall pay Our attorney’s fees and all fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
c. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party, in writing, initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing.
d. Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of You and Svvy®. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the User Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon You and Svvy®, except (i) for judicial review expressly permitted by law, or (ii) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law.
e. Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either You or Svvy® may seek emergency equitable relief before any state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending the specific arbitration proceeding commenced without waiving any rights under this Section 25.
f. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This subsection shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Section, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

26. Time Limits. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to Your use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

27. Miscellaneous.
a. The Services, Website and Content are directed solely to individuals residing and businesses based and operating in the United States. We make no representation that Our Services are lawful, appropriate or available for use in any jurisdiction outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from such other jurisdictions do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws in such other jurisdictions.
b. We will send You information relating to Your account (e.g. changes in password, confirmation messages, notices) in electronic form only. For example, We would send You an email to Your email address provided during registration. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that We send to You electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
c. If any provision of the User Terms (or the Referral Agreements) is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the other provisions of the User Terms (or the Referral Agreements) will be unimpaired (remaining in full force and effect), and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
d. The User Terms (including the Referral Agreements) are for the benefit of You and Us; therefore, all such terms and agreements are not intended to benefit or be enforceable by any third party.
e. The User Terms (including the Referral Agreements), and Your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by You, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or other transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. We may freely assign the User Terms (including the Referral Agreements, unless and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, such Agreement(s) specifies otherwise). The User Terms (including the Referral Agreements) shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Our successors and permitted assignees.
f. The Section titles in the User Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” used throughout the User Terms means “including without limitation.”
g. The User Terms (including the Referral Agreements, whichever applicable) constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between You and Svvy® regarding Your access to and use of the Website, Services and/or Content, and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between You and Us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the User Terms (including the Referral Agreements) will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Except as expressly set forth in the User Terms (including the Referral Agreements), the exercise by You or Us of any remedy under the User Terms (including the Referral Agreements) will be without prejudice to the exercise of any other remedy available to You or Us under the User Terms (including the Common Agreements or Referral Agreements) or otherwise.
