H. Disputes

Any controversy, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to these hear.com Mobile Communications Terms and Conditions, the breach thereof, or mobile communications sent by or on behalf of hear.com—including the suitability of your or hear.com’s claim for arbitration—shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If an arbitrator’s award is granted, it is binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Neither party may bring an action, in arbitration or otherwise, unless the action is started within two years of the occurrence allegedly causing the damage in question.

No arbitration brought under, or with respect to, this Section is to be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Mobile Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. Unless hear.com and you mutually agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, private attorney general, or class proceeding.

The arbitrator may award money or equitable relief in favor of only the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Monetary relief shall be awarded only for direct damages; monetary relief shall not be granted for consequential damages, incidental damages, or lost profits.

Any arbitration award and any judgment confirming shall not have any precedential effect and may not be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself.

To reduce the time and expense of the arbitration, the arbitrator will not provide a statement of reasons for his or her award unless requested to do so by all parties.

For arbitration claims you assert against hear.com in accordance with this Section (but not for any arbitration claim against you), hear.com will pay your administrative, hearing, and arbitrator’s fees and costs for the arbitration (but not the fees, expenses, and costs of your lawyers, experts, or witnesses) in excess of any filing fee you would have been required to pay to file the claim as a lawsuit in a state or federal court (whichever is greater) in the judicial district in which you reside. Hear.com will pay its, and you will pay your, lawyers’, experts’, and witnesses’ fees, expenses, and costs with respect to all claims.

Before seeking arbitration, you must first send to hear.com a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must be sent by certified mail to hear.com LLC 396 Alhambra Circle, Suite 600 Coral Gables, FL 33134. The Notice should describe the nature and basis of your claim or dispute and the specific relief you seek. If you and hear.com cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty days after the Notice is received, you or hear.com may commence arbitration.

I. Disclaimer of warranties

Hear.com sends mobile communications on an “as-is” basis. Hear.com specifically disclaims all express or implied warranties related to its mobile communications.

J. Governing law

These Mobile Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law provisions.

K. Severability

If, for any reason, a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction finds any provision, or portion thereof, of these Mobile Terms unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remainder of these Mobile Terms shall remain in full force and effect.

L. Survival

Sections H through K shall survive any termination of these Mobile Terms by either hear.com or you.
