19. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver

Informal Dispute Resolution (Pre-Arbitration Demand)

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first send written notice of your claim (“Pre-Arbitration Demand”) to PrivacyHawk, either by email to support@privacyhawk.com or by certified mail to our physical address listed below.

The notice must include:

  • your name,
  • contact information,
  • the basis of your claim, and
  • the relief sought.

PrivacyHawk will have sixty (60) days from receipt to respond.

You agree not to file for arbitration until this period has expired.

Arbitration Agreement

You and PrivacyHawk agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Website (but excluding disputes relating to the PrivacyHawk Services, which are governed by the dispute resolution provisions in the PrivacyHawk Terms of Service) shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect.

The arbitrator, and not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve disputes regarding the interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

Exceptions / Carve-Outs

Either party may:

  • bring an individual claim in small claims court if eligible; or
  • seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights or unauthorized data use.

Fees

Arbitration fees will be allocated in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

If the arbitrator determines that you cannot afford your share of the fees, PrivacyHawk will pay them.

Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration provision within thirty (30) calendar days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to support@privacyhawk.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and including your name and the email address or account information associated with your use of the Website.

Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis, and neither you nor PrivacyHawk may participate in a class action, class arbitration, representative proceeding, or private attorney general action.

Arbitration Location

The seat of arbitration shall be Los Angeles County, California, USA.

The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

Mass Arbitration Provision

If 20 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are asserted against PrivacyHawk by or with the coordination, assistance, or participation of the same law firm, organization, or group of attorneys (“Mass Filing”), the parties agree to the following bellwether process: (a) counsel for the claimants and counsel for PrivacyHawk shall each select 10 demands to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as “bellwether” arbitrations; (b) only those 20 bellwether arbitrations shall be filed, processed, and adjudicated; (c) all other demands in the Mass Filing shall not be filed or deemed filed and shall be stayed and administratively closed pending the resolution of the bellwether proceedings; (d) the parties agree to engage in a global mediation session of all remaining demands following the resolution of the bellwether proceedings, with a qualified mediator mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, appointed by the arbitration provider; (e) fees associated with a Mass Filing, including arbitration fees, shall be determined in accordance with the applicable arbitration provider’s mass filing supplemental rules or policy, to the extent applicable, provided that PrivacyHawk shall pay its share of arbitration fees for the bellwether arbitrations as required by applicable law; (f) if the parties are unable to resolve the remaining demands after the global mediation, either party may elect to opt the remaining demands out of arbitration and require them to be filed in court on an individual basis; and (g) no party may challenge the validity or enforceability of this bellwether process unless and until all bellwether proceedings have been completed. This bellwether process is intended to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. The statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines shall be tolled for demands subject to this bellwether process from the time the first demand in the Mass Filing is received by PrivacyHawk until the demand is filed in arbitration or court consistent with this provision.

Jury Trial Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND PRIVACYHAWK EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Severability of Class Action Waiver

If the class action waiver in this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable with respect to any particular claim or request for relief, then only that claim or request for relief must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, while any other claims or requests for relief remain subject to arbitration. If a court or arbitrator decides that any of the conditions or limitations in this arbitration agreement are unenforceable or invalid, those conditions or limitations shall be severed and the remaining arbitration terms shall continue to apply, and the severed provisions shall be replaced by terms that are enforceable and come closest to expressing the intention of the unenforceable provisions.

Alternative Arbitration Providers

If AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties shall mutually agree on a substitute arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree on a substitute provider within 30 days after either party provides written notice requesting selection of a substitute provider, either party may petition a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure § 1281.6. The substitute provider shall apply rules substantially similar to the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.

Summary

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. DISPUTES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE WILL GENERALLY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT, SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS AND PROCEDURES SET FORTH ABOVE. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND IF YOU DO NOT OPT OUT, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. YOU AND PRIVACYHAWK EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS, AND YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. You must first attempt informal resolution by contacting PrivacyHawk before initiating arbitration. Small claims court actions and certain equitable relief remain available as set forth above. For disputes arising from or relating to your use of the PrivacyHawk Services, including accounts, subscriptions, scans, dashboards, or applications (as opposed to disputes solely concerning use of the Website), the dispute resolution provisions in the PrivacyHawk Terms of Service shall control and take precedence over these Terms.
