Summary: If you have a dispute with HP Court Connect, you agree to try to work it out directly with us first.

Claims can only be brought individually, and not as part of a class action and you waive your right to pursue claims against us or any related party as a class. HP Court Connect also has no obligation to get involved with any disputes you have with other users, although we may try to facilitate a resolution if we choose to do so.
Informal Resolution. Before making any claim, you and HP Court Connect agree to try to resolve any disputes through good faith discussions. We use the term “claim” in this Section 9 to mean any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of our Platform or this Agreement, including your participation in any related matches and/or events. You or HP Court Connect may initiate this process by sending written notice according to Section 11.2 describing the dispute and your proposed resolution. In the event that we cannot resolve the issue within 30 business days following receipt of the initial notice, you or HP Court Connect may bring a claim in accordance with this Section 9.
Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration procedures described in this Section 9.2 applies to all users of HP Court Connect.
Mandatory Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 9.3, you agree to submit any claim to JAMS, Inc., or its successor (“JAMS”) located in Dallas, Texas, for final and binding arbitration. In arbitration, certain rights that you or we would have in court may not be available, such as discovery or appeal. You and HP Court Connect are each expressly waiving any right to trial by judge or jury in a court of law. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply regardless of whether the claim arises during or after any termination of this Agreement or your relationship with HP Court Connect.
Arbitration Time for Filing. Any claim subject to arbitration must be filed within two (2) years and one (1) day after the event giving rise to the claim occurred, or before the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations for such claim, whichever is earlier. Failure to initiate arbitration prior to such date and time shall result in a release and waiver of all such claims.
Arbitration Procedures. Either party may commence arbitration by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS in Dallas, Texas, with a copy to the other party according to the notice procedures in Section 11.2. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and any other applicable rules that JAMS requires (“JAMS Rules”) that are in effect as of the demand for arbitration. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of these
arbitration provisions. Any arbitration hearings will take place in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the JAMS Rules. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and each other in scheduling the arbitration proceedings, and in selecting one arbitrator from the appropriate JAMS list with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and contract disputes. The arbitrator shall follow this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by JAMS Rules, can award costs, fees, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to the prevailing party, except that the arbitrator shall not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Exceptions. None.
Arbitration Opt Out. You may decline to resolve disputes through arbitration by emailing us at the email address provided in the HP Court Connect app within 30 days of the date you are considered to have first agreed to this Agreement. Your email must include your full name, residential address, the email address registered to your HP Court Connect account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out according to this process, then Section 9.2 of this Agreement does not apply to you. This opt-out does not affect any other sections of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Sections 9.3 (Exceptions), 9.5 (Class Action Waiver), 11.5 (Governing Law), 11.6 (Judicial Forum), and 11.7 (Time for Filing).
Class Action Waiver. You agree to resolve disputes with HP Court Connect on an individual basis. You agree not to bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You are expressly waiving any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations.
