  1. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT and CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

(a) ExamSoft and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before this or any prior version of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver of class or representative proceedings as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request (and only that claim or request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement and class action waiver does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and ExamSoft are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The terms of this Agreement evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration and class action waiver provision will survive termination of this Agreement

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to ExamSoft should be addressed to 5001 LBJ Freeway, Suite 700, Dallas, TX 75244, USA, Attention: General Counsel.  The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If ExamSoft and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 45 days after the Notice is received, you or ExamSoft may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(c) After ExamSoft receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $75,000.  The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by the terms of this Agreement, for all claims under $75,000 and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $75,000, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org.  The arbitrator is bound by these the terms of this Agreement.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration and class action waiver provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of paragraph (d) are for the court to decide.  The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither party will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which ExamSoft was a party. Except as otherwise provided for herein, ExamSoft will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse ExamSoft for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief valued at more than $75,000 (excluding attorney’s fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

(d) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND EXAMSOFT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and ExamSoft agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers.  Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers.  If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request (and only that claim or request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration and class action waiver provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link or telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this arbitration and class action waiver provision, any such termination will not be effective until at least thirty (30) days after written notice of such termination is provided to you, and shall not be effective as to disputes which arose prior to the date of termination.

  1. SEVERABILITY:

In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable, invalid, or void, such provision shall be modified as little as possible to make it valid and enforceable, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
