All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Morris County, New Jersey or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $50,000, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (\u201cJAMS Rules&#8221;).

(the \u201cFAA\u201d), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual\u2019s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.<br>The arbitrator, AutoSMS, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.<br>You and AutoSMS agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and AutoSMS will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by AutoSMS, AutoSMS will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and AutoSMS agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New Jersey and the United States sitting in Morris County, New Jersey have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.<br>Any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and AutoSMS will not have the right to assert the claim.<br>You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Agreement by contacting AutoSMS via email at hi@autosms.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with the reset of this agreement.<\/li><li>Severability; Waiver. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that part will be construed to reflect the parties\u2019 original intent, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof.<\/li><li>Assignment. You may assign your rights under this Agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions, so long as you first obtain the prior written consent of AutoSMS, which will not be unreasonably withheld. AutoSMS may assign its rights under this Agreement without condition.
