11. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.

Business Accountant Finder and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Business Accountant Finder are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms. If you would like to opt out of this arbitration provision you must provide a written notice to Business Accountant Finder to the contact information provided below within 30 days of your first visit to this Site or first use of the Services.

• a. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. The AAA Rules are available online www.adr.org.
• b. Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
• c. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.
• d. Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
• e. Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the modification-related provisions above, if we change this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and us in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

12. Miscellaneous.

• a. Applicable Law and Venue. These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflicts of law or choice of law principles. Unless otherwise stated in the arbitration provision, any proceeding arising between the parties in any manner pertaining to these Terms shall be held in Georgia.
• b. Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy sets forth all the promises, covenants, agreements, conditions, and understandings between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements or conditions, expressed or implied, oral or written, relating to the subject matter contained herein.

• d. No Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is asserted, and any such written waiver shall only be applicable to the specific instance to which it relates and shall not be deemed to be a continuing or future waiver. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms or any right shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provision or right.
• e. Severability. If any provision of these Terms, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason or to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby, but rather shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. The invalidity of any part of these Terms shall not render invalid the remainder of these Terms.
• f. Successors and Assigns. These Terms and any amendments thereto shall inure to our benefit and to the benefit of our successors and assigns. We reserve the right to assign our rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
