5. 9-1-1 in the United States:
This section is applicable to You if you are located or reside in the United States. Because a VoIP call can be made anywhere You have an Internet connection, Your telephone number will not necessarily correspond with Your physical location, and emergency calls through the VoIP service will be handled differently than traditional phone service. When You make an emergency call, Callnowforfree may direct the 911 call to the native calling functionality on Your Device. If Your Device does not have calling capability or functionality, Callnowforfree (and/or a third party service provider) will attempt to automatically route Your call to the designated emergency call center based on location information available from Your Device, as long as You have given consent for Callnowforfree to access and use that location information. If you do not consent to Callnowforfree’s use of location information on Your Device or if Your call cannot be routed to the designated emergency call center for any reason, Your emergency call will be routed to a specialized call center. You may be required to provide a name, address, and telephone number to the specialized call center.
Callnowforfree will attempt to automatically provide the emergency call center dispatcher or emergency service operator with Your location, if it is available, and the telephone number associated with Your account. It is possible that the dispatcher receiving the call may not be able to capture or retain this information. Therefore, when making an emergency call, You should always immediately inform the dispatcher of Your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If You are unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate You. You should remain on any emergency call until told to disconnect by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have Your number or contact information. If You are disconnected, You should call back immediately.
Emergency calling from Your VoIP service will not work in certain circumstances:
If You are not comfortable with the limitations of emergency calls made using a VoIP service, Callnowforfree recommends that You consider an alternate means for accessing traditional emergency calling services.
Callnowforfree DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDUCT OF LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTERS, THIRD PARTIES ENGAGED BY YOU TO FACILITATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE LOCATION OR OTHER ADDRESS UPDATES, AND ALL OTHER THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND HOLD HARMLESS Callnowforfree (INCLUDING ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND AGENTS) FROM AND AGAINST ANY LIABILITY RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM (1) ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES INVOLVED IN THE HANDLING OF OR RESPONSE TO ANY EMERGENCY CALL, (2) YOUR INABILITY TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES BECAUSE OF A FAILURE OF YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR INTERNET OR DATA CONNECTION, OR (3) YOUR FAILURE TO MAKE ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICE.
This section is applicable to You if you are located or reside in Canada.
Description: VoIP services allow you to make or receive telephone calls over the Internet to or from the public switched telephone network. The nature of VoIP telephone calls, while appearing similar to traditional telephone calling services, create unique limitations and circumstances, and you acknowledge and agree that differences exist between traditional telephone service and VoIP telephone services, including the lack of traditional 9-1-1 emergency services.
9-1-1 service: Because of the unique nature of VoIP telephone calls, emergency calls to 9-1-1 through your VoIP service will be handled differently than traditional phone service. The following provisions describe the differences and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, and you hereby acknowledge and understand the differences between traditional 9-1-1 service and VoIP calls with respect to 9-1-1 calls placed to emergency services from your account as described below.
Placing 9-1-1 calls: When you make a 9-1-1 emergency call using an IP address located in Canada, the VoIP service will forward your call to a third-party specialized call centre that handles emergency calls. This call centre is different from the PSAP that would answer a traditional 9-1-1 call which has automatically generated your address information, and consequently, you will be required to provide your name, address, and telephone number to the call centre.
How your information is provided: When making a 9-1-1 emergency call, you must immediately inform the dispatcher of your location (or the location of the emergency, if different). If you are unable to speak, the dispatcher may not be able to locate you. Unlike traditional wireline and other wireless phone services, we do not maintain physical location information on file and have no means, other than the IP address used to make the call, to determine if you are located in Canada when you make a call using our service. If the location of the IP address you use to make a call does not accurately identify that you are making a call in Canada (due, for example, to use of a VPN or proxy), your call may not be routed to the 9-1-1 call centre.
Disconnections: You must not disconnect the 9-1-1 emergency call until told to do so by the dispatcher, as the dispatcher may not have your number or contact information. If you are inadvertently disconnected, you must call back immediately.
Connection time: For technical reasons, including network congestion, it is possible that a 9-1-1 emergency call will produce a busy signal or will take longer to connect when compared with traditional 9-1-1 calls.
9-1-1 calls may not function: For technical reasons, the functionality of 9-1-1 VoIP emergency calls may cease or be curtailed in various circumstances, including but not limited to:
Failure of service or your service access device: if your system access equipment fails or is not configured correctly, or if your VoIP service is not functioning correctly for any reason, including power outages, VoIP service outage, suspension or disconnection of your service due to billing issues, network or Internet congestion, or network or Internet outage in the event of a power, network or Internet outage; you may need to reset or reconfigure the system access equipment before being able to use the VoIP service, including for 9-1-1 emergency calls; and changing locations - if you move your system access equipment to a location other than that described in your account information or otherwise on record with Callnowforfree.
Alternate services: If you are not comfortable with the limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls, Callnowforfree recommends that you terminate the VoIP services or consider an alternate means for accessing traditional 9-1-1 emergency services. Inform other users: You are responsible for notifying, and you agree to notify, any user or potential users of your VoIP services of the nature and limitations of 9-1-1 emergency calls on the VoIP services as described herein.
Limitations of Liability with Respect to VOIP 9-1-1 Service: In Canada, Callnowforfree relies on third parties to assist in routing 9-1-1 calls to emergency response centres and/or a public safety answering point. Callnowforfree does not have any control over whether, or the manner in which, calls making 9-1-1 dialing in Canada are answered or addressed by any emergency response centre and/or public safety answering point.
Callnowforfree DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR:
• THE END-USER’S ABILITY TO RELAY THE NATURE OR LOCATION OF THE EMERGENCY TO THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTER ANSWERING ANY 9-1-1 CALL;
• THE ABILITY OF THE END-USER’S EQUIPMENT OR INTERNET OR DATA CONNECTION TO CONNECT TO AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTRE AND/OR PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT WHEN MAKING A 9-1-1 CALL; AND
• THE CONDUCT OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE CENTRE AND/OR THE PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT, INCLUDING IF THE DATA USED BY SUCH THIRD PARTY TO ROUTE THE CALL IS INCORRECT OR YIELDS AN ERRONEOUS RESULT.
6. If Callnowforfree end-users do not agree with the limitations on 9-1-1 service, Callnowforfree end-users must ensure they have an alternative means of accessing traditional 9-1-1 services.
7. Limitation of Liability with Respect to Emergency Services/9-1-1 Capabilities
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT Callnowforfree, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, UNDERLYING CARRIERS AND SUPPLIERS, AND APP PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, “Callnowforfree PARTIES”) WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INABILITY TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICES THROUGH THE SERVICES OR OTHER Callnowforfree PROPERTIES. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU HEREBY WAIVE AND RELEASE Callnowforfree, FROM, ANY ACTIONS, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, INJURIES, AND COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) OF ANY KIND (COLLECTIVELY “CLAIMS”) ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY OUT OF, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE NON-PROVISION OF EMERGENCY SERVICES THROUGH THE SERVICE OR Callnowforfree PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY INABILITY ON THE PART OF YOU OR OTHER USERS TO ACCESS EMERGENCY SERVICES OR TO PROVIDE LOCATION INFORMATION FOR TEXTS TO 911-EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE Callnowforfree PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIMS ARISING DIRECTLY FROM THE NON-PROVISION OF 9-1-1 OR PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT CALLING CAPABILITIES THROUGH THE SERVICES AND Callnowforfree PROPERTIES.

54. App Merchants: You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the App is dependent on the third party from which You downloaded or received the App (the “App Merchant”). You acknowledge that this Agreement is between You and Callnowforfree and not with the App Merchant. Callnowforfree, not the App Merchant, is solely responsible for the App and the Services, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto. You agree to pay all fees charged by the App Merchant in connection with Your download of the App (if any). You agree to comply with, and Your license to use the App and the Services are conditioned upon Your compliance with, all applicable third party terms of agreement when using the App. You acknowledge that to the maximum extent permissible by law, the App Merchant (and its subsidiaries) are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and will have the right to enforce this Agreement.
55. Apple Devices: If You download the App from the Apple app store (the “App Store”) or use the App to run on the Apple Inc. (“Apple”) operating system (“iOS”), such as with the iPhone, iPod, iPad or other related device using such iOS, the following terms will also apply and You acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
Acknowledgement: Callnowforfree and You acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between Callnowforfree and You only, and not with Apple. Callnowforfree, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Services and the App and the content thereof. To the extent the other terms and conditions of this Agreement are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict with, the terms and conditions of this Section 55, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and conditions in this Section 55 apply, but solely with respect to the use of the Services and the App when used on iOS.
The license granted to You for the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any iOS Device that You own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the App Store terms of service (https://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula/).
You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Warranty: In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, You may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to You; and that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be Callnowforfree's sole responsibility. Product Claims: Callnowforfree and You acknowledge that, as between Callnowforfree and Apple, Callnowforfree, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims of You or any third party relating to Callnowforfree and the App or Your possession and/or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. This Agreement does not limit Callnowforfree's liability to You beyond what is permitted by applicable law. Intellectual Property Rights: Callnowforfree and You acknowledge that, in the event of any third party claim that the Services or the App or Your possession and use of that App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Callnowforfree and Apple, Callnowforfree, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. Third Party Beneficiary: Callnowforfree and You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon Your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce the Agreement against You as a third-party beneficiary thereof. Without limiting any other terms of this Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
56. Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. This Arbitration Agreement is only applicable to You if you are located or reside in the United States. It is part of Your contract with Callnowforfree and affects Your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, You and Callnowforfree agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to Your access to or use of the Callnowforfree Properties, any communications You receive, any products sold or distributed through the Callnowforfree Properties or this Agreement and prior versions of this Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between You and Us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) You and Callnowforfree may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) You or Callnowforfree 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 this Agreement.
Informal Dispute Resolution. There might be instances when a Dispute arises between You and Callnowforfree. If that occurs, Callnowforfree is committed to working with You to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Callnowforfree agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and Callnowforfree 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 will also 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 forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to Callnowforfree that You intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to legal@Callnowforfree.com or regular mail to our offices located at 420 Wes Graham Way, Waterloo, ON N2L 0J6, Canada. 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.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND Callnowforfree 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 Callnowforfree are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.” There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND Callnowforfree AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED “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 Section 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 Section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), You and Callnowforfree 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 the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This section does not prevent You or Callnowforfree from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
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 process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Your Notice, You and Callnowforfree agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.
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 username (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 Callnowforfree otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in the Section entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.
You and Callnowforfree 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 shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.
Arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s 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 the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under the Section entitled “Batch Arbitration” is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
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 Section entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of that Section is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such Section has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the Section 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 Section 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.
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 Callnowforfree 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 process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
Batch Arbitration. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, You and Callnowforfree agree that in the event that there are one-hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Callnowforfree 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), the AAA 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 the AAA, and the AAA 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 Callnowforfree.
You and Callnowforfree agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA 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.
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: 420 Wes Graham Way, Waterloo, ON N2L 0J6, Canada within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address associated with Your 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 this 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.
Invalidity, Expiration. Except as provided in the Section 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 Callnowforfree 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.
Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, We agree that if We make any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, We will notify You. Unless You reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change become effective by writing to Callnowforfree at 420 Wes Graham Way, Waterloo, ON N2L 0J6, Canada.
