8. Dispute Resolution
 
In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us, or between you and any third-party service provider acting on our behalf to transmit mobile messages within the Program, arising out of or related to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or any breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (including the applicability of this agreement to arbitrate), the dispute will be resolved by arbitration in Michigan before a single arbitrator.
 
The arbitrator will apply Michigan's substantive law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. This agreement does not prevent either party from seeking provisional remedies in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge that this agreement relates to a transaction involving interstate commerce and agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern the arbitration, regardless of the applicable state law.
 
To initiate the arbitration, either party must submit a written demand letter to the other party, detailing the dispute and the requested relief (“Arbitration Demand”).
 
Class Action Waiver:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. If a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, both parties waive the right to a trial by jury in any action related to this agreement or any transaction contemplated by it.
 
Arbitration Award:
The arbitrator may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by Michigan law, but cannot modify the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator will provide a written decision (the "Award") to both parties, who must promptly comply. Any Award may be confirmed or enforced in any court with jurisdiction over the parties or their assets. The arbitrator's decision is final, binding, and not subject to appeal.
 
Arbitration Costs:
Each party will share equally the costs of the arbitrator’s fees, court reporter expenses, and the arbitration facility. The prevailing party in the arbitration may be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which will be offset by any opposing costs or fees awarded.
 
Confidentiality:
The parties will maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration, including the hearing and the Award, except as necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration, seek preliminary remedies, or enforce the Award. Documentary evidence produced in arbitration will be treated as confidential unless required by law to be disclosed or obtained from the public domain.
 
 
 
 
9. Miscellaneous Terms
 
 
 
    • By agreeing to these terms, you confirm that you have the necessary rights, power, and authority to do so and that no other agreements conflict with these terms. The failure of either party to exercise any right under these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that or any other right in the future.
 
    • If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, it will be adjusted to the minimum extent necessary, while the rest of the agreement remains valid.
 
    • We reserve the right to modify or update these terms at any time. It’s your responsibility to review them periodically. Your continued participation in the program after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
