ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER Clause Samples
The Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver clause requires that any disputes arising between the parties be resolved through binding arbitration rather than through court litigation. In practice, this means that if a disagreement occurs, both parties must submit their claims to a neutral arbitrator instead of filing a lawsuit, and they are prohibited from joining their claims with others in a class action or collective proceeding. This clause primarily serves to streamline dispute resolution, reduce litigation costs, and prevent the complexities and potential liabilities associated with class action lawsuits.

Subject to the exceptions described below, all disputes arising out of or related to this ▇▇▇▇ or any aspect of your relationship with Camera Bits, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. You agree that Camera Bits and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration will take place on an individual basis. You hereby waive the ability to participate in a class action. The parties agree that the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement.
10.2. You and Camera Bits each retain the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of a party’s trade secrets or intellectual property rights.
10.3. You will also have the right to litigate any other dispute that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration agreement if you opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending an email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or a letter to Camera Bits, Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ within 30 days after the date you first agree to this ▇▇▇▇.
