Dispute Resolution
Disputes under $5,000: For any Disputes that arise and where damages are less than $5,000, the parties agree to resolve such Disputes in small claims court in Salt Lake City, Utah, without the need for arbitration. Disputes over $5,000: For any Disputes that arise and where damages are $5,000 or more you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Treads in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules. The arbitration may be conducted electronically through Fairclaims or RapidRulings in accordance with their respective rules and procedures. Subject to any valid requirements of any applicable statute, any such arbitration shall be held in Salt Lake City, Utah or online via video conference. You acknowledge and agree that you and Treads are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Treads otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims (e.g., one individual’s claims, one entity’s claims), and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Treads’s intellectual property rights, Treads may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of Utah, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered upon it at any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive and equitable relief in the arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder will be confidential.
