All notices of cancellation must be provided in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement. Re.Form reserves the right, in its discretion, to require you to pre-pay all Partnership Dues through the date your cancellation goes into effect.

7. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
7.1 Informal Dispute Resolution: Our goal is to do our best to ensure that every experience you have with Re.Form exceeds your expectations. If that doesn’t happen, we hope you will give us the opportunity to try to address any problem or concern. To do so, please contact us at [email protected]. When contacting us, we ask that you include your name, address, phone number and email address, a description of your problem or concern and any specific relief you seek.
7.2 Arbitration: You agree to submit any and all Disputes (as defined in Section 7.4) to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), which will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”). Arbitration will be before either (1) JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), http://www.jamsadr.com, or (2) the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), http://www.adr.org. If you initiate arbitration, you may choose between these two arbitration forums; if Re.Form initiates arbitration, it will have the choice as between these two arbitration forums.
YOU AND RE.FORM AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 7.4, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WHICH ARISE AFTER YOU ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
7.3 Class Action Waiver: You agree that the arbitration of any Dispute will be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide, basis, and that no arbitration proceeding may be consolidated with any other arbitration or other legal proceeding involving Re.Form or any other person. You further agree that you, and anyone asserting a claim through you, will not be a class representative, class partner, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding against Re.Form, and that the arbitrator of any Dispute between you and Re.Form may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claim (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action). If the foregoing class action waiver (“Class Action Waiver”) or any portion thereof is found to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, then the
Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
7.4 Definition of “Dispute”: Subject to the following exclusions, “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Re.Form regarding any aspect of your relationship with Re.Form, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including without limitation fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal, statutory or equitable theory, and includes without limitation the validity, enforceability or scope of this Agreement (except for the scope, enforceability and interpretation of the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver). However, “Dispute” will not include (1) personal injury claims or claims for lost, stolen, or damaged property; (2) claims that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable; and (3) any claim for public injunctive relief, i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting alleged unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public. Such claims may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
7.5 Arbitration Procedures and Location: Either you or Re.Form may initiate arbitration proceedings. Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. If you or Re.Form initiate arbitration, you and we have a choice of doing so before JAMS or the AAA:
(1) For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.
(2) Which particular rules apply in AAA arbitration will depend on how much money is at issue.
