IF YOU ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE FOREGOING, YOUR SOLE REMEDY IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

MANDATORY ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND QUOTELAB TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, EXCEPT FOR EXCLUDED DISPUTES AS DETAILED BELOW, INSTEAD, YOU WILL HAVE A HEARING BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR.

You and QuoteLab agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Service that cannot be resolved by the parties will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis (“covered disputes”), except that You and QuoteLab are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, patents or other Confidential Information (“excluded disputes”). For clarity, the phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between You and QuoteLab before the effective date of these Terms.

You and QuoteLab further agree that the determination of the scope, enforceability, or applicability of this dispute resolution provision, including, but not limited to, any claim or dispute or any part thereof of this dispute resolution provision is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding payment of administrative fees or arbitrator fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for non-payment) will be resolved exclusively by final arbitration in accordance with this dispute resolution provision.

As stated in Applicable Laws and Venue below, California law applies to any arbitration under these Terms, but you and QuoteLab acknowledge and agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and, if appropriate, the Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings) (“AAA Arbitration Rules”). For information about arbitration, the AAA Arbitration Rules, and the arbitration process, please consult the AAA website at adr.org. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Unless you and QuoteLab agree in writing, any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD will be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If non-appearance arbitration is applicable or otherwise later elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be as mutually agreed to by each party. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. Unless you and QuoteLab agree otherwise in writing, any in person hearings will take place (i) in a location to be determined in accordance with the AAA Arbitration Rules that is reasonably convenient for you and is no more than 100 miles from your home or place of business; or (ii) at another location you and QuoteLab agree upon.

Each party’s responsibility to pay any expenses, hearing fees, and arbitrator compensation shall be as detailed in the AAA Arbitration Rules, except that if the arbitrator finds at any time that a claim was filed frivolously, for purposes of harassment, or otherwise in bad faith, then the filing party will reimburse the other party for all costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, associated with that claim.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to applicable law and venue and the scope, application, enforceability of this dispute resolution provision - including whether any claims and disputes are covered disputes or excluded disputes within the meaning of this provision – are for the court to decide. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator will 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 QuoteLab.

This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

Dispute Resolution Process. Prior to initiating arbitration for a covered dispute, each party agrees that they will provide written notice of the potential claim to the other party setting forth: (1) the factual and legal basis for the claim; (2) contact information for the potential claimant (including their first and last name, email address, email address they used in relation to our products and services, and address) and their counsel, if any; and (3) the remedies sought, including the amount of claimed monetary damages (the “notice”). Such written notice shall be provided on an individualized basis. Following receipt of the notice by the other party, each party agrees to make a good faith effort for at least 60 days to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including, without limitation, arbitration or any court action. To provide notice to QuoteLab, write to legal@mediaalpha.com or, QuoteLab, Attn: Legal Department, 700 S. Flower St., Suite 640, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

The aforementioned informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND TRIAL BY JURY. FOR COVERED DISPUTES, YOU AND QUOTELAB WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and QuoteLab are instead electing to have all claims and disputes for covered disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. FOR EXCLUDED DISPUTES AND ANY OTHER LITIGATION BETWEEN YOU AND QUOTELAB (INCLUDING OVER WHETHER TO VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD), YOU AND QUOTELAB WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ELECT INSTEAD TO HAVE THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. YOU AND QUOTELAB AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES RELATING TO BOTH COVERED DISPUTES AND EXCLUDED DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, A FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR A CLASS ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS YOU AND QUOTELAB AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. EACH PARTY FURTHER AGRESS THAT CLAIMS AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR USER. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies. This subsection does not prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an arbitrator may consolidate more than one person’s claims if we provide express written consent to such consolidation.

If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the terms of this arbitration agreement including limitations as to a particular claim for relief or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief, that neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration, or that the waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable), and all appeals have been exhausted or the decision is otherwise final, then the parties agree that such a claim or request for relief shall be decided by a court as set forth in the Applicable Laws and Venue section below only after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated.

Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.

This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with QuoteLab including the termination of these Terms.

Applicable Laws and Venue

Our Service and these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any principles of conflict of laws. If any provision of these Terms shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. If for any reason any dispute arising under these Terms or from your use of our Service is permitted to be brought in state or federal court, the dispute shall be brought exclusively in the appropriate state or federal courts of the State of California. Persons who choose to access our Service from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of our Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
