These Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Agreement”) govern your access to, and use of, the Services and Software. Please read these Terms carefully.

13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/JURY TRIAL WAIVER
(a) Arbitration. Stage and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims that arise from or relate to these Terms or the Services or Software in any way, except for claims arising from bodily injury. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE, LAW, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WEARE EACH (A) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY; (B) WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THIS ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND NOT PERMISSIVE. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
(b) Notice of Disputes. If either of us intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other with notice in writing. The notice to Stage should be sent to: Stage Technologies, Inc., 2181 Greenwich Street, San Francisco, CA, 94123. Stage will send notice to you at the email and/or mailing addresses associated with your account. Your notice to Stage must (a) provide your name, mailing address, and email address; (b) describe the dispute; and (c) state the relief you are requesting. If we are unable to reach an agreement to resolve the dispute within 60 days after the notice is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
(c) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer ArbitrationRules (“AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. If theAAA is unavailable, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider or the court shall appoint a substitute. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you are receiving Stage Services. If the value of your claim is USD $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by telephone, or by an in-person hearing. If the value of your claim exceeds USD $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or the arbitrability of disputes are for the court to decide. The arbitrator may consider, but is not bound by, rulings in other arbitrations between Stage and Stage users. The arbitrator can award the same individualized damages and relief that a court can award. Judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.
(d) Costs of Arbitration. The AAA’s fee schedule is subject to change and may be found in the AAA Rules (available online at www.adr.org). Stage will pay allAAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees for any arbitration that Stage commences. If you provided Stage with 60 days’ notice of your intent to arbitrate before commencing an arbitration and the value of your claim is USD $10,000or less, Stage will pay your share of any such AAA fees. If the value of your claim exceeds USD $10,000, the allocation of AAA fees will be governed by theAAA Rules (unless the law of your state requires Stage to pay all such fees).If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all AAA fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In such cases, the arbitrator may direct you to reimburse Stage for amounts that Stage paid on your behalf.
(e) No Class Arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief 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.TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND STAGE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED GROUP LITIGATION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. Further, unless all affected parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or group proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
(f) 30-Day Opt-Out Period. If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Section 13, you must notify Stage in writing within 30 days of the date that you first accept these Terms (unless a longer period is required by applicable law). Your written notification must be mailed to Stage at the following address: Stage Technologies, Inc., 2181 Greenwich Street, SanFrancisco, CA, 94123. Subject to Section 13(g) below, if you do not notify Stage in accordance with this Section 13(f), you agree to be bound by the arbitration and group litigation waiver provisions of these Terms, including such provisions in any Terms revised after the date of your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (a) your name, (b) your Stage account email address, (c) your mailing address and (d) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Stage through arbitration. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with Stage or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and Stage.
(g) Future Changes to Arbitration Provision.
