Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver & Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You and Bullhorn are agreeing to establish a process to resolve disputes. We encourage informal resolution and, if not and unless an exception applies, you and Bullhorn
agree to resolve any disputes in individual, binding arbitration.
Arbitration Required. We realize that legal disputes can be costly and time-consuming, so we have included an agreement to try to resolve any disputes between you and Bullhorn as efficiently as
possible. IF YOU AND/OR BULLHORN DO NOT RESOLVE A DISPUTE BY INFORMAL NEGOTIATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION, ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE
RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL, BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR WHOSE DECISION WILL BE FINAL EXCEPT FOR A LIMITED RIGHT OF APPEAL UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION
ACT. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. “Dispute” includes any complaint, action, demand or other controversy, between you and us concerning these Terms of Use, the Services, or any communications between us related to these Terms of Use or the Services and whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and Bullhorn empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the
interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable.
Informal Dispute Resolution & Small Claims Court. Typically, you and Bullhorn can resolve any concerns you have about the Services with a phone call or email. You can always contact Bullhorn at: legal@bullhorn.com. If you are still not happy with the result, you or Bullhorn must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that includes the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, description of the facts, and the requested relief. You must send the notice of dispute to 100 Summer Street, 17th Floor, Boston, MA 02110, Attention: Legal Department. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the address we have for you. You and Bullhorn will attempt to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. Only if you and we have not resolved the dispute after the 60 days, may you or we commence an arbitration proceeding as described below. You may instead litigate a dispute in small claims court if the dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first, so long as you proceed only on an individual basis.
How Arbitration Works. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS“) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules“). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to start arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. If you are a resident of California, you or we may sever and bring any claim for public injunctive relief related to the Dispute in court.
Arbitration Location and Costs. Unless you and Bullhorn agree to conduct arbitration by teleconference, videoconference, or otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in the city or county where you reside. If you are located outside of the U.S., any in-person arbitration will take place in Boston, MA. Except for a dispute determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or initiated in bad faith, Bullhorn will pay your filing fee and any documented costs and expenses up to a total amount of $1,000 and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.
Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. YOU AND BULLHORN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR THEIR RESPECTIVE INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND IN SO DOING YOU AND BULLHORN HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LAWSUIT OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION, AND ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitrations or proceedings. If a court decides that the limitations of this particular paragraph regarding class action waiver are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
Right to Opt Out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Dispute Resolution provision within the first 30 days after (a) you agree to these Terms of Use; or (b) we notify you of a material change to this Dispute Resolution provision. You may opt out by sending an email to Bullhorn at legal@bullhorn.com. You should include your name, mailing address, and the words “Reject Arbitration.”
One Year Limitations Period. You and Bullhorn also agree that any demand for arbitration must be made within one year of discovery of the circumstances giving rise to the Dispute, or the Dispute will be considered waived.
Governing Law and Survival. You agree that this Dispute Resolution provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and interpreting case law. To the extent state substantive law applies to any Dispute, we agree that the Dispute will be governed by and construed subject to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to its conflict of law principles. In such event, you hereby unconditionally, voluntarily, and irrevocably consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts with respect to any claims arising from or related to the Services, your access and use of the Services, and any information received through the Services. You agree not to plead forum non conveniens in any such action. You consent to service of process. You and Bullhorn agree that this Dispute Resolution provision will survive the cancellation of these Terms of Use and/or your access and use of the Services. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution provision other than the class action waiver, is determined by a court or the arbitrator to be found unenforceable, that portion shall be ineffective without affecting the enforceability of the rest of the provision.
