ARBITRATION/WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY AS IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW LEGAL CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

Special Definition of “We,” “Us” and “Our.” Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Provision, the terms “we,” “us” and “our,” in addition to the meanings set forth in this Agreement, also refer to our employees, officers, directors, parents, controlling persons, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns. “We,” “us” and “our” also apply to third parties if you assert a Claim against such third parties in connection with a Claim you assert against us.


Claims Subject to Arbitration. A “Claim” subject to arbitration is any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us (other than an Excluded Claim or Proceeding as set forth below), whether preexisting, present or future, which arises out of or relates to the Agreement, your use of the Site, any prior agreement you have had with us, any transaction conducted with us in connection with the Site or Agreement, your use of the Site, or any prior agreement. “Claim” has the broadest possible meaning and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, interpleaders, third-party claims and federal, state, local and administrative claims and claims which arose before the effective date of this Arbitration Provision. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity and includes claims for money damages and injunctive or declaratory relief. Upon the demand of you or us, Claim(s) will be resolved by individual (not class or class-wide) binding arbitration in accordance with the terms specified in this Arbitration Provision.


Excluded Claim or Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Claim” does not include: (A) Any dispute or controversy about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver set forth below and/or this sentence); all such disputes or controversies are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or controversy that concerns the validity or enforceability of the rules and regulations as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. (B) Any individual action brought by you in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court will not be subject to this Arbitration Provision, unless such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court; (C) Your or our right to resort to self-help remedies such as the right of set off or the right to restrain funds in an account, to interplead funds in the event of a dispute, to exercise any security interest or lien held in property, or to comply with legal process, or to obtain provisional remedies such as injunctive relief, attachment, or garnishment by a court having appropriate jurisdiction; or (D) Any individual action in court by one party that is limited to preventing the other party from using a self-help remedy and that does not involve a request for damages or monetary relief of any kind. The institution and/or maintenance of any such right, action or litigation shall not constitute a waiver of the right of either of the parties to compel arbitration regarding any other dispute subject to arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision. Moreover, this Arbitration Provision will not apply to any Claims that are the subject of a class action filed in court that is pending as of the effective date of this Arbitration Provision in which you are alleged to be a member of the putative class for as long as such class action is pending.


Federal Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that the Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code) (“FAA”) shall govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. To the extent state law is applicable under the FAA; the law of the State of Utah shall apply.


Class Action Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if either you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, neither you nor we will have the right: (a) to participate in a class action, private attorney general action or other representative action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative or class member; or (b) to join or consolidate Claims with claims of any other persons. No arbitrator shall have authority to conduct any arbitration in violation of this provision or to issue any relief that applies to any person or entity other than you and/or us individually. (Provided, however, that the Class Action Waiver does not apply to any lawsuit or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers including you. This means that we will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-severable from this Arbitration Provision. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ Arbitration Provision (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated. Arbitration Procedures. If you or we elect to arbitrate a claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the beginning of a lawsuit and can be given in papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to 170 Election Road, Suite 125, Draper, Utah 84020, Attn: General Counsel and our notice must be sent to the most recent address for you in our files. Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place in a venue reasonably convenient to where you reside. If a party files a lawsuit in court asserting Claim(s) that are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion to compel arbitration with the court which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party prosecuting the Claim(s) to select an arbitration administrator in accordance with the paragraph below and commence the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the administrator’s rules and procedures.


The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org, 1-800-778-7879 or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York N.Y. 10018, www.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267. The rules and forms of the AAA and JAMS may be obtained by writing to these organizations at the addresses listed above. If the AAA and JAMS are unable or unwilling to serve as administrator, the parties may agree upon another administrator or, if they are unable to agree, a court shall determine the administrator. No company may serve as administrator, without the consent of all parties, if it adopts or has in place any formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with and purports to override the terms of the Class Action Waiver in this Arbitration Provision. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and any applicable rules of the AAA or JAMS or other administrator used or any other terms of this Agreement, on the other hand, the provisions of this Arbitration Provision shall control.


A single arbitrator will be appointed by the administrator and must be a practicing attorney with ten or more years of experience or a retired judge. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court, nor by state or local laws that relate to arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a court would apply if the matter were pending in court. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or us. You or we may choose to be represented by counsel. In determining liability or awarding damages or other relief, the arbitrator will follow the applicable substantive law, consistent with the FAA, that would apply if the matter had been brought in court. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, without limitation, punitive damages (which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim).


At your written request, we will pay all filing, hearing and/or other fees charged by the administrator and arbitrator to you for Claim(s) asserted by you in an individual arbitration after you have paid an amount equivalent to the fee, if any, for filing such Claim(s) in state or federal court (whichever is less) in the judicial district in which you reside. (If you have already paid a filing fee for asserting the Claim(s) in court, you will not be required to pay that amount again). In addition, the administrator may have a procedure whereby you can seek a waiver of fees charged to you by the administrator and arbitrator. We will always pay any fees or expenses that we are required to pay by law or the administrator’s rules or that we are required to pay for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. The arbitrator will have the authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses and experts to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the administrator’s rules or applicable law. However, with respect to Claim(s) asserted by you in an individual arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorney, witness and expert fees and costs if and to the extent you prevail, if applicable law requires us to or if we must bear such fees and costs in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall write a brief explanation of the grounds for the decision.


A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we will not exercise any right of setoff to any arbitration award made to us unless and until the arbitration award is confirmed by a court having jurisdiction and becomes a final judgment and until any timely appeal thereof is completed.


Severability and Survival. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall be enforceable. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the closing of your account and the termination of any relationship between us, including the termination of this Agreement; any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law; changes to your Agreement or any related services we provide; and the transfer or assignment of your account or any related services we provide.


Effect of Arbitration Award. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000, you or we can, within 14 days after the entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator. The panel shall reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote. Unless the parties agree otherwise and to the extent feasible, the appeal will be conducted pursuant to or modeled after the JAMS Optional Appeal Procedure, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-optional-appeal-procedure/. Reference in this Arbitration Provision to “the arbitrator” shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator's decision has been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with this paragraph. Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA. A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.


Notice and Cure; Special Payment. Prior to initiating a Claim, you may give us a written Claim Notice describing the basis of your Claim and the amount you would accept in resolution of the Claim, and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Such a Claim Notice must be sent to us by certified mail; return receipt requested, at 170 Election Road, Suite 125, Draper, Utah 84020, Attn: General Counsel. This is the sole and only method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice, we will credit your account for the standard cost of a certified letter. If (i) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this Paragraph on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and (iv) the matter then proceeds to arbitration and the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $7,500 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys’ fees and costs to which you will also be entitled). We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a single Claim Notice and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $7,500 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you have asserted or could have asserted in the arbitration, and multiple awards of $7,500 are not contemplated.


Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Claim or other dispute between you and us (as defined in the Arbitration Provision) that is tried in court rather than resolved by arbitration, you and we hereby agree (a) that the Claim or other dispute will be tried by a judge without a jury, and you and we knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury in such a proceeding and (b) that any such litigation will proceed in court on an individual basis and will not proceed as part of a class action.


VIOLATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Bank reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of this Agreement, including the right to block access from a particular Internet address to the Site.


MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank and you with respect to the terms of usage for the Site. The failure of the Bank to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit the Bank's rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by the Bank of any of the terms of this Agreement will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized office of the Bank. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify this Agreement. The Bank may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without any notice to you. The Agreement may not be assigned by you without the Bank's prior written consent. The section titles in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that the Agreement will not be construed against the Bank by virtue of the Bank having drafted it. Subject to any contrary provision that may be contained in any applicable laws of the State of Utah, any cause of action you may have with respect to your use of the Site must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions shall be unimpaired and the unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by such enforceable term or provision as comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable term or provision. This Agreement shall be subject to any other agreements you have entered into with the Bank.


You agree that you will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all telephone, computer hardware and other equipment needed to access and use the Site and that you are solely responsible for all fees and costs incurred in order to obtain or maintain access to and use the Site. You also agree to comply with all rules, laws and regulations that are applicable to your use of the Site, including, without limitation, those governing your transmission or use of any software or data.
