3. MEMBERSHIP; REGISTRATION AND ACCOUNT. 3.1. Membership. In order to access and use certain features of the Services, you are required to apply for a Dorsia membership (the “Membership”) unless Dorsia provides some other form of access and use of certain features of the Services. Dorsia reserves the rights to establish eligibility criteria for Membership, whether or not such criteria are published. You acknowledge and agree that Dorsia makes all Membership decisions in its sole and absolute discretion, and Dorsia’s decisions around Membership shall be final and non-appealable. You may not submit multiple applications for Membership simultaneously. When applying for Membership, all information you submit must be true, accurate, and complete.
3.2. Registration and Account Creation. If Dorsia approves you for a Membership, you must create an account on the Services (“Account”) and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the account registration form, including (but not limited to) your name, an email address and password.

Dorsia cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
4. RESERVATIONS.
4.1. Reservations. Once you have registered for an Account, you may make a reservation or submit a request for a reservation (a “Reservation”) at a participating restaurant in the Dorsia network (a “Restaurant”). The App will indicate certain time slots (the “Instant Booking Reservation Time”) at Restaurants that are available for instant booking (an “Instant Booking”). You may also submit a custom request for a reservation (a “Custom Request”) at a Restaurant. Your Custom Request must include the time slot or the time range that you desire (the “Custom Reservation Time”) (the “Reservation Time” refers to either the Instant Booking Reservation Time or Custom Reservation Time, as applicable) as well as the number of guests. Each Reservation, unless otherwise indicated, is subject to a minimum amount that you guarantee to spend at your Reservation (the “Minimum Spend”). The Minimum Spend is generated by our proprietary platform based on information provided by the Restaurant. Upon making an Instant Booking you must make payment for an amount equal to the Minimum Spend. If you submit a Custom Request, Dorsia may pre-authorize a charge to your Account for an amount equal to up to the Minimum Spend. You may not submit multiple Custom Requests for the same Custom Reservation Time (whether at the same Restaurant or at different Restaurants), including by utilizing multiple Accounts to do so.
4.2. Confirmation of a Custom Request. Your Custom Request does not constitute a confirmed Reservation. Dorsia shall notify you whether your Custom Request has been accepted (a “Confirmation”) and may elect to do so via the App, or via the contact information in your Account. The Restaurant shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether to accept or decline your Custom Request. If your Custom Request is accepted by the Restaurant by fifteen (15) minutes before your Custom Reservation Time, you shall hold a confirmed Reservation for that Restaurant. Once a Restaurant issues a Confirmation, Dorsia will charge your Account an amount equal to the Minimum Spend. If we are unable to charge your Account for any reason, the Confirmation may be rescinded, and you shall have no rights in the Reservation you sought to make.
4.3. Declination of a Custom Request. If a Restaurant declines to accept your Custom Request for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion, Dorsia may notify you via the App or via the contact information in your Account (a “Declination.”) If a Restaurant fails to issue a Confirmation by fifteen (15) minutes before your Custom Reservation Time, your Custom Request shall be deemed denied and this shall constitute a Declination. Following a Declination, you shall be free to re-submit a Custom Request, including for the same Custom Reservation Time and at the same Restaurant, subject to the then-current Minimum Spend.
4.4. Dorsia’s Cancellation Policy. Unless indicated otherwise on a Restaurant’s reservation page in the App or any other page or site where you book a reservation using the Dorsia platform, (i) if you cancel your Reservation via the App more than eight (8) hours prior to the Reservation Time, you shall be credited back the full amount of your Minimum Spend to your Dorsia Account and (ii) if you cancel your Reservation via the App less than eight (8) hours prior to your Reservation Time, this will constitute a “Late Cancel,” and only fifty percent (50%) of the amount of your Minimum Spend will be credited back to your Dorsia Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the remaining fifty (50%) of the Minimum Spend is non-refundable. If you wish to cancel a Reservation within eight (8) hours of the Reservation Time but do not wish to incur a Late Cancel due to extenuating circumstances, please contact Dorsia using the “Support” function in the App, and we will consider your request (provided that you acknowledge and agree that Dorsia has no obligation to waive such Late Cancel). Some Restaurants may impose additional penalties for cancellations per their standard cancellation policies. Such penalties will be described on the applicable Restaurant’s reservation page in the App.
4.5. Dorsia’s No-Show Policy. Dorsia is committed to providing superior quality services to Dorsia users and Restaurants alike. To assist us in maintaining a consistently high level of service for the Restaurants and their patrons, when you make a Reservation through the Services, you are expected to honor the Reservation by arriving on time. However, we understand that, occasionally, unforeseen circumstances may prevent you from making your Reservation as initially planned. If you decide not to keep your Reservation, please cancel the Reservation in accordance with Section 4.4 above. Unless otherwise stated herein, if you do not arrive and check in with a Restaurant host within fifteen (15) minutes after your Reservation Time (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if you fail to arrive at the Restaurant), you will be considered a “No Show”. In the event of a No Show, (a) your Reservation will be terminated, (b) the Minimum Spend pre-paid for such Reservation will be completely forfeited, and (c) you will have no right to a refund or credit. No Shows are associated with your Account, and Dorsia reserves the right to terminate or suspend your ability to use the Services, including without limitation for the purpose of submitting Custom Requests and making Reservations, if you have an excessive amount of No Shows, as determined in Dorsiaʼs sole and absolute discretion. If you believe a No Show has been linked to your Account erroneously, you may dispute it by contacting us the “Support” function in the App. You acknowledge and agree that all final determinations regarding No Shows will be made by Dorsia in our sole discretion. 4.6. Other Obligations. Upon arriving at the Restaurant, it is your responsibility to notify the host that you have a Reservation. You agree not to resell or attempt to resell any Reservations. You will conduct yourself in an appropriate manner at any Restaurant where you obtain a Reservation.
4.7. Restaurant Failing to Honor Your Reservation. If a Restaurant fails to honor your Reservation (for example, if a host refuses to seat you despite your on-time arrival for your Reservation Time), please contact us using the “Support” function in the App with a detailed description of the incident. If Dorsia determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Restaurant improperly refused to honor your Reservation, Dorsia will credit back the Minimum Spend associated with such Reservation to your Account.
5. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS.
5.1. Payment. You agree to pay all fees or charges to your Account (including, without limitation, the Minimum Spend associated with a Reservation) at the time a fee or charge is due and payable in accordance with the Services. You must provide Dorsia with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us) of a payment provider (each, a “Payment Provider”) as a condition to signing up for the Services. Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of the designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities. By providing Dorsia with your credit card number and associated payment information, you agree that Dorsia is authorized to immediately charge your Account for all fees and charges (including, without limitation, the Minimum Spend associated with a Reservation) as they become due and payable and that no additional notice or consent is required. You agree to immediately notify Dorsia of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment hereunder. Dorsia reserves the right at any time to change its prices and billing methods, either immediately upon posting on the Services or by e-mail delivery to you.
5.2. Exceeding the Minimum Spend. When you are at a Restaurant for which you made a reservation and pre-paid a Minimum Spend via Dorsia and your total order exceeds such Minimum Spend (“Excess Spend”), you will be required to pay the Excess Spend either (i) directly to the Restaurant at the end of your meal or (ii) to Dorsia through additional fees and charges to your Account. Dorsia and the Restaurant shall determine how you pay the Excess Spend in their absolute discretion.
5.3. Minimum Spend Exclusive of Payment Processing Fees, Taxes, and Gratuity. For the avoidance of doubt, Dorsia may charge a payment processing fee (in addition to the Minimum Spend and Excess Spend) when your Reservation is confirmed. In addition, the Minimum Spend and Excess Spend are exclusive of any taxes and gratuities owed to the Restaurant and any personnel, which must be paid directly to (as applicable) the Restaurant or Dorsia when you are presented with the final bill for the evening. However, if your Reservation is for a Restaurant located in the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom, the Minimum Spend and Excess Spend are inclusive of applicable taxes (including value-add tax).
5.4. Stripe. Dorsia uses Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates as the third party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (a “Payment Processor”). By using the Services, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Terms of Service (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/terms) and hereby consent and authorize Dorsia and Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Payment Processor(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.
5.5. Sales Tax. If Dorsia determines it has a legal obligation to collect a Sales Tax from you in connection with the Agreement, Dorsia may collect such Sales Tax in addition to any other fees or charges charged to your Account. If any Services are subject to any Sales Tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable Sales Tax to Dorsia, you will be responsible for the payment of such Sales Tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Dorsia for any liability or expense Dorsia may incur in connection with such Sales Taxes. Upon Dorsia’s request, you will provide it with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this Section, “Sales Tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
5.6. Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to Dorsia free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Dorsia will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Dorsia with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
6. FEEDBACK. If you provide Dorsia with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to Dorsia all rights in such Feedback and agree that Dorsia shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems appropriate. Dorsia will treat any Feedback you provide to Dorsia as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you will not submit to Dorsia any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.
7. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY. You agree not to: (a) use the Services to upload, transmit, display, or distribute any content or information that (i) violates any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; or (ii) that is in violation of any law, regulation, or obligations or restrictions imposed by any third party, or is otherwise objectionable; (b) upload, transmit, or distribute to or through the Services any computer viruses, worms, or any software intended to damage or alter a computer system or data; (c) send through the Services unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other form of duplicative or unsolicited messages, whether commercial or otherwise; (d) abuse other users’ personal information that you receive through the Services, such as to harvest, collect, gather or assemble information or data regarding other users, including e-mail addresses, without their consent; (e) interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on servers or networks connected to the Services, or violate the regulations, policies or procedures of such networks; (f) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services (or to other computer systems or networks connected to or used together with the Services), whether through password mining or any other means; (g) interfere with any other user’s use and enjoyment of the Services; (h) impersonate any person or entity, including any employee or representative of Dorsia; or (i) use software or automated agents or scripts or other Scraping Devices to produce multiple accounts on the Services, or to generate automated searches, requests, or queries to (or to strip, scrape, or mine data from) the Services, including in connection with machine learning or training of artificial intelligence technology.

8.2. Promotional Email Communications. If you opt-in to receive marketing or promotional email communications from us, you will have the ability to opt out of receiving such communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication itself.

CONSENT TO THESE PROMOTIONAL MESSAGES IS NOT REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE SITE OR SERVICES.
8.3. Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Dorsia use electronic means, whether you use the Services or send us emails, or whether Dorsia posts notices on the Services or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Dorsia in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Dorsia provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if they were to be in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Dorsia (and its officers, employees, and agents) harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of (a) your use of the Services, (b) your content at a Restaurant, (c) your violation of the Agreement, or (d) your violation of applicable laws or regulations. Dorsia reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.

THIS SECTION 15 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 15 CAREFULLY.
15.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Dorsia agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, or this Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of the Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and Dorsia may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or Dorsia may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of the Agreement.
15.2. Informal Dispute Resolution. There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Dorsia. If that occurs, Dorsia is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Dorsia agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Dorsia therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.
The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. Notice to Dorsia that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to legal@dorsia.com or regular mail to our offices located at 3921 Alton Road, Suite 413, Miami Beach, FL 33140. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this Section.
15.3. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND DORSIA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Dorsia are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
15.4. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND DORSIA AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 15.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration) entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Dorsia agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Wappingers Falls, New York. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Dorsia from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
15.5. Rules and Forum. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and Dorsia agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.
A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account information (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration. If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. Unless you and otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. You and Dorsia agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
15.6. Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York and will be selected by the parties from the JAMS roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
15.7. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
15.8. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Dorsia need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
15.9. Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Dorsia agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Dorsia by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Dorsia.
You and Dorsia agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.
15.10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: 3921 Alton Road, Suite 413, Miami Beach, FL 33140, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Dorsia account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
15.11. Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Dorsia as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
15.12. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Dorsia makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Dorsia at: 3921 Alton Road, Suite 413, Miami Beach, FL 33140, your continued use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of the Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Agreement) remain in full force and effect. Dorsia will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of the Agreement.

16.6. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

To the extent the parties are permitted under the Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Dorsia agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, Florida. However, if you reside in a member state of the European Economic Area or in the United Kingdom: (i) you may benefit from additional rights afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the laws of your country of residence, and nothing in the Agreement will affect the application or enforceability of these additional rights; and (ii) you may bring a claim to enforce such mandatory rights in a court of your country of residence.
16.7. Notice. Where Dorsia requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Dorsia with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Dorsia is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Agreement, Dorsia’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Dorsia at the following address: 3921 Alton Road, Suite 413, Miami Beach, FL 33140. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Dorsia by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
