📍 IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING AUTOMATIC RENEWALS
This Service includes subscriptions that automatically renew. Please read these terms and conditions of use (the "Terms") carefully (in particular, Section 5) before starting a trial or completing a purchase for our app's auto-renewing subscription service.
To avoid being charged, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of your trial or current billing cycle. When purchasing a subscription that automatically renews, you agree to its auto-renewal nature and to its terms defined near the point of purchase and acknowledge that to avoid charges you would need to affirmatively cancel it. If you do not cancel in time, your subscription will automatically renew, and the applicable charges will be applied.
If you intend to cancel, ensure you follow the appropriate cancellation process. You may also wish to take a screenshot of this notice for future reference. More details can be found in our Subscription Terms.
Our privacy practices are described in detail in our Privacy Policy. Please review it to understand how we collect, use, and share your personal information.
📍 BINDING ARBITRATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Section 11 of these Terms governs how disputes between you and PDF Guru are resolved. In particular, it includes a binding arbitration agreement, which means:
Please read this section carefully, as it significantly affects your legal rights.
The provisions of these Terms govern the relationship between you and (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) regarding your use of the Company’s websites and related services (the “Service”), including all information, text, graphics, software, and services, available for your use (the “Content”).
By accessing or using any part of the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, forming a legally binding agreement between you and the Company. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Service, delete your account, and cancel any active subscriptions.
These Terms were originally drafted in English. If there is any conflict between the English language version of these Terms and a version translated into another language, the English-language version will prevail.
Our Privacy Policy forms an integral part of these Terms and describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. We may also post additional policies, supplemental terms, or notices on the Service from time to time. Such terms are hereby incorporated by reference and will apply to your use of the Service.
We may update, modify, or remove portions of these Terms at our sole discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This may occur when we introduce or discontinue features, technologies, or services, to comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements, or in response to exceptional or unforeseen circumstances. Where required by law, we will notify you of such changes.
Unless stated otherwise, we will indicate updates by revising the “Last Updated” date of these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review the Terms regularly for any updates. Unless specified otherwise, the updated Terms take effect once posted on the Service. By continuing to use the Service after the updates become effective, you agree to the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service immediately, delete your account and cancel your subscription.
We may also update, change, suspend or discontinue the Service (or any part, content or feature) at any time, without notice and without liability to you or anyone else (for example, to offer or test new or different features, technologies, or services, to repair, improve or further develop the Service, to comply with legal, regulatory or contractual requirements, or in response to exceptional or unforeseen circumstances). Some services and features may not be available in all countries, in all languages, or in all operating systems.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account and restrict your access to the Service at our discretion, with or without prior notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms or any applicable laws. This includes cases where you have provided false, misleading, or incomplete information during registration or engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or unauthorized activity on the Service. Termination may result in the loss of access to your data, content, or any benefits associated with the Service, and we are not responsible for any consequences resulting from such actions.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials, including login details and passwords, and for all activity conducted under your Account. You should not share your login information with anyone, as you assume full responsibility for any actions taken through your Account. If you suspect unauthorized access or a security breach, you must notify us immediately at support@pdfguru.com.

Content Access After Termination
Once your subscription is terminated or your account is closed, your Content may immediately become inaccessible to you.

Customer support services are provided at the Company’s discretion. While we may assist users, there is no obligation to provide support or respond to inquiries. If you require assistance, contact support@pdfguru.com, and we will respond as soon as reasonably possible.
The Service may integrate, provide access to, or display content from third-party services, websites, software, advertisements, and other materials (“Third-Party Services” and “Third-Party Materials"). This includes external links, embedded content, and user-generated materials contributed by third parties. While these features may be accessible through the Service, the Company does not control or assume responsibility for the content, functionality, or policies of any Third-Party Services.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that the Company does not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, legality, quality, or reliability of any Third-Party Services or Third-Party Materials. Some of this content may be objectionable, offensive, or misleading, and the Company is not liable for any exposure to such material. Any interactions, transactions, or agreements you engage in with third parties through the Service are solely between you and the respective third party. The Company bears no responsibility for any disputes, losses, or issues that may arise from these interactions.
The Service may include advertisements, sponsored content, or links to third-party websites that are not owned or controlled by the Company. Clicking on third-party links or engaging with external services does not establish any endorsement, affiliation, or sponsorship between the Company and the third party. Any engagement with such content is at your own risk. It is your responsibility to review and comply with the terms, policies, and privacy practices of third-party services before using them. The Company disclaims any liability for how third parties collect, process, or use your data.
The Company does not monitor, evaluate, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or legality of Third-Party Materials. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company makes no express or implied warranties regarding third-party content and disclaims all liability for any loss, damage, or harm resulting from your reliance on or use of such content. Some third-party materials may be outdated, misleading, or otherwise unreliable, and you assume full responsibility for any decisions based on this content.
Accessing Third-Party Services through the Service is entirely voluntary. You assume all risks associated with interacting with third-party content, including potential malware, phishing scams, or deceptive practices. The Company is not responsible for any technical issues, disputes, or damages arising from your engagement with Third-Party Services. By using such services, you waive any claims against the Company related to your interactions with third-party content, advertisements, or external links.
If you encounter harmful, misleading, or offensive third-party content while using the Service, you may report it to the Company. However, the Company is not obligated to investigate, remove, or take action against third-party content unless required by law.
The Service offers subscription-based access to its features and content, which may be purchased through the Website. All applicable subscription fees, billing terms, and durations (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually) will be displayed on the payment screen or at checkout before payment authorization. Our pricing varies based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, region, bundle, and duration of subscription. Some limited features of the Service may be available free of charge, but full access requires a paid subscription.
Upon completing the onboarding process on the Website, you will be presented with available subscription options, their pricing, durations, and accepted payment methods (e.g., Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). By selecting a subscription and authorizing the payment, you instruct the applicable payment processor to charge your selected payment method. Once the payment is validated, you will receive access to the Service.
Payments are handled by third-party payment processors, which you authorize to charge your selected payment method. These processors handle transaction processing and notify us of successful payments.
All subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled. The renewal period matches the initial subscription term unless otherwise disclosed at the time of purchase. To avoid renewal, you must cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
By proceeding with a subscription, you acknowledge that charges will be applied periodically based on the selected billing cycle. The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional (introductory) and discount pricing, unless we notify you of a rate change prior to your auto-renewal.
Cancellation must be completed through the Website’s account settings or by following the cancellation instructions provided at the time of purchase.
In addition to your subscription, you may have the option to purchase add-on items such as premium content, consultations, or supplementary features. These add-ons may be one-time purchases or recurring charges. Cancelling your main subscription will also cancel any associated recurring add-ons, but cancelling an add-on alone does not affect your primary subscription.
You acknowledge and agree that all purchases are non-refundable or exchangeable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Company will provide refunds and/or purchase cancellations in cases and to the extent required by mandatory provisions of the applicable law. The Company may also provide refunds at its own discretion and subject to our policies that may be published from time to time.
If you are a resident of the European Union, you have the legal right to withdraw from a contract for the purchase of digital services within 14 days of your purchase, without providing any reason and without incurring any additional costs.
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must notify us by email at support@pdfguru.com stating your decision to withdraw from the contract. While you may use the model withdrawal form provided below, it is not mandatory. Your withdrawal request will be considered valid if sent before the 14-day withdrawal period expires.
If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we will refund all payments received from you without undue delay, and in any event no later than 14 days from the date we receive your withdrawal notice. Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. You will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.
If you have expressly consented to the immediate supply of the Service before the expiration of the withdrawal period and acknowledged that you will lose your right to withdraw, you will not be eligible for a refund for any digital content that has already been delivered. In the case of digital services, you may be eligible for a proportional refund, based on the portion of the Service provided before your withdrawal request. If this provision applies, we will provide you with confirmation of your prior express consent and acknowledgement on a durable medium.

If you wish to request a refund for a payment made using a reimbursable method, such as a credit or debit card, we strongly encourage you to contact us first at support@pdfguru.com before initiating a chargeback with your payment provider. This allows us the opportunity to review your request and attempt to resolve the issue directly.
Refunds, when applicable, are not processed in real-time. If we confirm that a refund has been issued, please allow at least 15 business days for the refund to reflect in your account. You acknowledge that you are not entitled to receive multiple refunds for the same transaction and agree that if you request a refund directly from us, you will not initiate a separate refund request or chargeback through your payment provider unless your request has been denied by us. If you receive duplicate refunds due to separate refund requests, we reserve the right to work with your payment provider to reverse one of those refunds.
Initiating a chargeback or reversing a payment through your bank or payment provider may result in the immediate termination of your account at our sole discretion, as it indicates that you have determined you no longer wish to use our Service. If a chargeback is overturned in our favor, you may contact support@pdfguru.com to discuss reinstating your account. Fraudulent or improper chargebacks may result in a permanent ban from using the Service and potential legal action.
As outlined in our Privacy Policy your personally identifiable information may be shared with our payment processor to assist in responding to chargeback requests.
We may offer free or discounted trials providing temporary access to the Service. The trial duration and terms will be displayed at sign-up. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid, non-discounted subscription, and the applicable fee will be charged.
Unless expressly required under the applicable law, we do not guarantee reminders before the trial expires. It is your responsibility to track the trial period and cancel if you do not wish to continue. The Company reserves the right to modify, revoke, or restrict trial eligibility at any time.
We may provide you with gift cards or promotional codes that can be redeemed for additional features, enhancements, functionalities, content or services within a specified Service and for a limited period of time, subject to eligibility requirements (the “Promotional Codes”). Promotional Codes have no cash value, are personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and we are under no obligation to provide any compensation in connection with Promotional Codes.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we may modify subscription fees at any time. If notification is required under applicable law, we will inform you of pricing changes in the manner and timeframe mandated by regulations. Where no specific timeframe is prescribed, we will provide notice by sending an email notification or using other prominent communication methods. The revised pricing will take effect as specified in the notice.
If you do not agree to the updated fees, you may cancel your subscription before the new pricing takes effect or refrain from prepaying for continued access to the Service.
If a payment is declined or not received when due, we may notify you to update your payment method. However, if the issue is not resolved, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service without further notice. Any content, data, or personalized settings associated with your account may be lost, and we are not responsible for restoring them.

If any information you provide is false, misleading, outdated, or incomplete, we reserve the right to deny or terminate your current or future access to the Service.

The Company reserves the right to assume full control of the defense, negotiation, and settlement of any claim for which you are required to indemnify us. You agree to fully cooperate with our defense efforts and acknowledge that we have the sole discretion to select legal counsel and strategy in such matters. You may not settle any claim that imposes liability or obligations on the Company without our prior written consent.

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND—THIS SECTION CONTROLS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY WILL BE ADDRESSED.
BY AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
YOU ARE ALSO AGREEING TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, UNLESS YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO REJECT ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BELOW.
You and Lopofist Limited (“we” or the “Company”) agree to resolve all Disputes through binding arbitration, as described below, except for: (i) claims that fall within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, provided such claims are not class action disputes and also meet the court’s jurisdictional and monetary limits; and (ii) disputes related to intellectual property rights. A “Dispute” means any claim, controversy, or legal action—whether arising from past, present, or future events, and based on contract, tort, statute, or common law—between you and the Company regarding the Website, Services, or this agreement (the “Arbitration Agreement”). “Dispute” also includes disputes about the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including whether any part of it is invalid or unenforceable.
You and we agree that good faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often result in a faster and less expensive outcome. Therefore, if you intend to assert a claim for any Dispute (as defined above) against the Company, you must first send the Company a written notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) that gives the Company some basic information about you and the Dispute. Any Notice must include (i) your name, address, and email address, (ii) a detailed description of your Dispute; (iii) any relevant facts regarding your use of the Website and Service (including your account ID, profile screenshots, and anything else that will help us identify your account); (iv) a detailed description of the relief you are seeking, including a calculation of any money damages you are seeking; and (v) a personally signed statement from you (and not your attorney) verifying the accuracy of the information in Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person’s dispute. If you are filling out a Notice for another person, you must include all information described above, and also a statement describing your relationship to the person and why the person is unable to fill out the Notice for themselves.
You must send the Notice to the Company at the following address:
26 Stavrou Street, Strovolos
2034, Nicosia, Cyprus
Attention: Legal PDF Guru
If we need to send you a Notice, we will send the Notice to you at the contact information we have available for you, which may include, if applicable, the contact information associated with your account.
After we receive a Notice, you and we agree to engage in good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute between us for a period of 60 days through informal negotiation. The 60-day period can be extended if you and we agree that such an extension is likely to lead to a resolution. As part of the informal negotiation process, you and we agree that we will both attend at least one individualized video conference (“Video Conference”). The Video Conference can be via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, or any other similar platform that you and we agree on and that we both have access to. The Video Conference can be held after the 60-day period, if necessary. If you are represented by an attorney in your Dispute, your attorney may participate in the Video Conference, but you are still required to attend and participate in good faith. The Company is also required to participate in the Video Conference by sending one or more of its representatives, and the Company may also send one or more of its attorneys. If you are unable to participate in the Video Conference by video, you may attend telephonically if you certify in writing that circumstances exist that prevent you from appearing by video (such as your lack of access to a phone with a working camera or your inability to connect to a stable internet connection). You and we agree that we (and our attorneys, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the Video Conference at the earliest mutually convenient time after we receive a Notice. You and we also agree to use our best efforts to resolve the Dispute at the Video Conference. If you and we cannot resolve the issues identified in the Notice within 60 days after the completed Notice is received (or a longer time if agreed), you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding or a small claims court proceeding.
Compliance with these Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures is Mandatory and Pre-Filing Notice procedures (including the Video Conference requirement) are a condition precedent to initiating any arbitration or small claims court action. Failure to follow the procedures is a breach of this Arbitration Agreement.
The Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice procedures are essential so that you and the Company have a meaningful opportunity to resolve Disputes in an inexpensive and efficient manner. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration provider shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration unless the party bringing the demand for arbitration certifies in writing that the Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice procedures (including the Video Conference requirement) were fully satisfied. If the party bringing the demand for arbitration fails to include a written certification that the Pre-Filing Notice procedures (including the Video Conference) were met, then the arbitration forum shall administratively close the demand for arbitration and no fees shall be due from the responding party. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have authority to enforce this provision and to enjoin any arbitration proceeding or small claims court action accordingly.
All offers, promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of the Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice process by any party, its agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential and not admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding (except as required to certify in writing that the Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice procedures were completed before submitting a demand for arbitration). Evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable by this section.
Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements and the Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice requirements explained above, you or the Company may elect to pursue a Dispute in a local small claims court rather than through arbitration, so long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the arbitral forum that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small claims court. At that time, the arbitral forum will administratively close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the appropriate small claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent.
Arbitration is a more informal way to resolve our disagreements than a lawsuit in court. For instance, arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, involves more limited discovery, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Although the process is more informal, arbitrators can award some of the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. An arbitrator cannot, however, order a party to act or stop doing something—this is known as “equitable relief.” Either you or we can go to court and seek equitable relief, including by filing a motion to compel the other party to follow this Arbitration Agreement. However, you and we agree that the only courts where we will seek equitable relief are the state and federal courts in Delaware. This exception for equitable relief does not waive this Arbitration Agreement. You and we agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. A court of competent jurisdiction has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these terms and the termination of your account.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT IN FAVOR OF ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT DESCRIBED ABOVE). YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE OTHER, INCLUDING ANY CURRENTLY PENDING ACTIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE LITIGATED IN COURT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
EXCEPT FOR THE MASS FILING PROCEDURES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT
IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT ANY OF THE PROHIBITIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH ARE UNENFORCEABLE FOR A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF, AND ALL APPEALS OF THAT DECISION ARE AFFIRMED AND SUCH DECISION BECOMES FINAL, THEN YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT PARTICULAR CLAIM OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF SHALL PROCEED IN COURT BUT SHALL BE STAYED PENDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF THE REMAINING CLAIMS FOR RELIEF THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT.
Arbitration Procedure
The arbitration will be governed by applicable rules of National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”) (including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable) (“NAM Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement, and will be administered by NAM. The NAM Rules are available online at www.namadr.com or by requesting them in writing at the Notice address listed above. You may obtain a form to initiate arbitration with NAM at https://www.namadr.com/content/uploads/2024/03/Comprehensive-Demand-for-Arb-revised-3.21.2024.pdf or by contacting NAM.
If NAM is unavailable or unwilling to do so, another arbitration provider shall be selected by the parties for that purpose, or if the parties are unable to agree on an alternative administrator, by the court pursuant to 9 U.S.C. §5.
You and we agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a written certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Pre-Filing Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures requirements enclosed with any demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their attorney, if represented).
The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator will be appointed remotely pursuant to the NAM Rules, as modified herein. You and the Company agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the parties: (i) the arbitration will be conducted online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties or the arbitrator decides that a formal hearing is necessary; and (iii) any judgment on the award the arbitrator renders may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If an in-person hearing is required and you reside in the United States, the hearing will take place in Delaware, unless the arbitrator determines that this would pose a hardship for you, in which case the in-person hearing may be conducted in the claimant’s state and county of residence. If you reside outside the United States, the site of any in-person hearing will be determined by the NAM Rules.
The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator will apply the laws of the State of Florida in conducting the arbitration. You acknowledge that these terms and your use of the Service evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings.
The Arbitrator is bound by and shall adhere to this Arbitration Agreement. In the event NAM Rules conflict with this Arbitration Agreement, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement shall control. If the Arbitrator determines that strict application of any term of this Arbitration Agreement would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration, then the Arbitrator shall have the authority to modify such term to the extent necessary to ensure a fundamentally fair arbitration that is consistent with efficient and inexpensive resolution of Disputes.
Unless you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted virtually via video or teleconference.
Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue their decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential, and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim.
The arbitration award is binding only between you and the Company and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different party.
The payment of arbitration fees (the fees imposed by the arbitration administrator, including filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees) will be governed by the applicable NAM Rules, unless you qualify for a fee waiver under applicable law. If after exhausting any potentially available fee waivers, the arbitrator finds that the arbitration fees will be prohibitive for you as compared to litigation, we will pay as much of your filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees in the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or asserted in bad faith.
You and we agree that arbitration should be cost-effective for all parties and that any party may engage with NAM to address the reduction or deferral of fees.
Upon either your or our request, the Arbitrator will issue an order requiring that confidential information of either party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award, and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal.
At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for the arbitration hearing, you or the Company may serve a written offer of judgment upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitration provider, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever occurs first, it shall be deemed withdrawn, and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs from the time of the offer (which, solely for purposes of offers of judgment, may include reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent they are recoverable by statute, in an amount not to exceed the damages awarded).
The parties agree that any disputes with respect to settlement offer(s) or offer(s) of judgment in a Mass Filing are to be resolved by a single arbitrator to the extent such offers contain the same material terms. For arbitrations involving represented parties, the represented parties’ attorneys agree to communicate individual settlement offer(s) or offer(s) of judgment to each and every arbitration claimant or respondent to whom such offers are extended.
The following provisions set forth additional procedures that apply to mass arbitration filings. If ten (10) or more similar claims are asserted against the Company by the same or coordinated attorneys or are otherwise coordinated, consistent with the definition and criteria of “Mass Filings” set forth in the NAM Rules, you and we understand and agree that these additional procedures shall apply and the resolution of your dispute might be delayed. You and we agree that throughout this process, our attorneys shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You and we agree to make all reasonable efforts to maximize the integrity and efficiency of arbitration to resolve Disputes between us, particularly those involving Mass Filings, and further commit to acting in good faith to adhere to the procedures established in this section. The parties further agree that application of these Mass Filing procedures has been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of claims.
Bellwether Arbitrations for Mass Filings. Bellwether proceedings are encouraged by courts and arbitration administrators where there are multiple disputes involving similar claims against the same or related parties. The parties shall select six individual arbitration claims (three per side), designated as the “Initial Test Cases,” to proceed to arbitration. Only the Initial Test Cases shall be filed with the arbitrator. All other claims shall be held in abeyance. This means that the filing fees will be paid only for the Initial Test Cases; for all other demands for arbitration in a Mass Filing, the filing fees (together with any arbitrator consideration of the other demands) will be held in abeyance, and neither you nor the Company will be required to pay any such filing fees. You and the Company also agree that neither you nor we shall be deemed to be in breach of this Arbitration Agreement for failure to pay any such filing fees, and that neither you nor we shall be entitled to any contractual, statutory, or other remedies, damages, or sanctions of any kind for failure to pay any such filing fees. If, pursuant to this subsection, a party files non-Bellwether Arbitrations with the arbitration provider, the parties agree that the arbitration provider shall hold those demands in abeyance and not refer them to the arbitrator pending resolution of the Initial Test Cases. Unless the claims are resolved in advance or the schedule is extended, the arbitrators will render a final award for the Initial Test Cases within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference.
Global Mediation in Mass Filings. Following the resolution of the Initial Test Cases, the parties agree to engage in a global mediation of all the remaining individual arbitration claims comprising the Mass Filing (“Global Mediation”), deferring any filing costs associated with the non-Initial Test Cases until the Initial Test Cases and subsequent Global Mediation have concluded. After the final awards are provided to the mediator in the Initial Test Cases, the mediator and the parties shall have 90 days to agree upon a substantive methodology and make an offer to resolve the outstanding cases. If the Parties are unable to resolve the outstanding claims during the Global Mediation, the Parties may choose to opt out of the arbitration process and proceed in court with the remaining claims. Notice of the opt-out shall be provided in writing within 60 days of the close of the Global Mediation. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations may then be filed and administered by the arbitration provider. You and we also acknowledge that any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled pending resolution of the global mediation process.
Severability. If any part of this Mass Arbitration provision is declared invalid, void, or unenforceable, then that provision is severable from the Arbitration Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Existing Users. Users who previously agreed to arbitrate may reject this updated Arbitration Agreement by following the opt-out method below, but such users will still be bound by the most recent prior version of the Arbitration Agreement and will otherwise be bound by these terms. Previous or existing users who do not opt out of this updated Arbitration Agreement will be bound by this Arbitration Agreement and it shall apply to all disputes between such users and the Company, including those arising (but not actually filed in arbitration) before the effective date of these terms. Arbitration demands that have already been filed with an arbitration provider before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement and in compliance with a prior version of this Arbitration Agreement are subject to the prior version's terms.
