c. Arbitration Procedures
as to the arbitration of a dispute subject to this Arbitration Agreement, you and forum meat at home agree:
· A party may file such dispositive motions as would be permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure without obtaining permission from the arbitrator.
· The parties shall have the right to conduct such discovery from the opposing party or any third party that is proportional to the needs of the claim or dispute, considering the importance of the issues at stake, the amount in controversy, the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit. Permitted discovery shall be decided by the arbitrator when requested by either side.
· Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this arbitration agreement. A copy of the Rules is available at www.adr.org. .
· The arbitrator shall conduct any calls, conferences, or hearings by teleconference or videoconference, unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person hearing will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient. The arbitrator may, in the arbitrator’s discretion, determine that a Dispute should be resolved by submission of documents only.
· The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any relief that would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
· If the arbitrator finds that a party’s claim or counterclaim was frivolous, asserted in bad faith, or pursued for purposes of harassment, the arbitrator shall award the opposing party its attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses and all amounts charged by AAA for the arbitration.
· The arbitrator will follow these Terms and the law. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual party’s claim.
