IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT, IF YOU DO NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH ARBITRATION, EVEN IF YOU PREFER TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN COURT. YOU ARE WAIVING RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY. YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS.
11.2 Binding Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) between you and Pelican, its agents, employees, principals, business partners and clients, successors, assigns and affiliates (collectively for purposes of this paragraph, “Pelican”) arising from or relating to these Terms, their interpretation or breach, termination or validity, the relationships which result from these Terms (including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, relationships with third parties who are not signatories to these Terms), the Site, any activity you conduct with Pelican, Pelican's advertising or any related transaction (a “Claim”) shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration rules then in effect (available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879), or any other established alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by you and Pelican. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
11.3 Arbitrability. Any Claim including a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, including the Class Action Waiver must be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. This means any and all issues relevant to the Claim, including all issues of Arbitrability, are delegated to the arbitrator. “Arbitrability” means all issues, without limitation, relating to the making, validity, revocation of the agreement to arbitrate, whether a particular claim or dispute is arbitrable, the scope of the Arbitration Agreement, and any issue with respect to the validity of jury trial, class action or representative action waivers.
11.4 Initiating Arbitration. A party may elect to arbitrate a Claim by providing written notice to the other party or by filing a motion to compel arbitration. Once arbitration is elected, the complaining party is responsible for starting the arbitration. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any new Claims later asserted in that lawsuit. A party does not waive its right to elect to arbitrate a Claim by filing a complaint or cross-complaint in court. Arbitration shall take place in Delaware.
11.5 No Class Actions or Similar Proceedings. In accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, neither you nor we will have the right to: (i) have a court or jury decide a Claim; (ii) participate in a class action in court or in arbitration, either as a class representative, class member or class opponent; or (iii) join or consolidate Claim(s) involving you with Claims involving any other person.
11.6 Finality and Enforcement of Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and Pelican (except as described in section 11.7 below) and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.7 Limited Right to Appeal. The right to appeal is more limited in arbitration than in court and other rights available in court may not be available in arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except for: (1) any appeal right allowed by the Federal Arbitration Act, (2) Claims involving more than more than $50,000 (including Claims that may reasonably require injunctive relief costing more than $50,000), and (3) Claims involving public injunctive relief. For Claims involving more than $50,000 or Claims involving public injunctive relief, any party may choose to appeal to a new panel of three new arbitrators appointed by the administrator. The appellate panel is completely free to accept or reject the entire original award or any part of it. The appeal must be filed with the arbitration organization not later than 30 days after the original award issues. The appealing party pays all appellate costs unless the appellate panel determines otherwise as part of its award.
11.8 Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin arbitration against us but you cannot afford to pay the organization’s or arbitrator’s costs, we will advance those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request like this should be sent to us at legal@pelicaninvests.com. If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must reimburse us for money we advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced. You and Pelican shall pay your and its own costs and attorneys' fees. However, if you or Pelican prevails on a statutory Claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
11.9 Claims Notice and Special Payment. If you have a Claim, before initiating an arbitration proceeding, you may give us written notice of the Claim (“Claim Notice”) at least 30 days before initiating the arbitration proceeding. The Claim Notice must include your name, address, and account number and explain in reasonable detail the nature of the Claim and any supporting facts. Any Claim Notice shall be sent to us at legal@pelicaninvests.com (or such other address as we shall subsequently provide to you). If, and only if, (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this agreement on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); and (2) an arbitrator, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, issues you an award that (excluding any arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator) is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then you will be entitled to the amount of the award or $7,500, whichever is greater. If you are entitled to the $7,500, you will receive in addition any arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds in your favor and issues an award (excluding arbitration fees or attorneys’ fees and costs) that is less than the value of our last written settlement offer, you will be entitled to the amount of the award.
11.10. You Have the Right to Reject this Arbitration Agreement. You may reject this Arbitration Agreement but only if we receive from you a written notice of rejection within 30 days of the earlier of you opening a Pelican account or visiting the Site. You must send the notice of rejection to us at legal@pelicaninvests.com]. Your rejection notice must include your name, address, phone number, account number (if you have opened an account) and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice for you. Your rejection notice also must not be sent with any other correspondence. Rejection of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under these Terms. This is the only way that you can reject this Arbitration Agreement. If you reject arbitration, neither you nor we will be subject to the Arbitration Agreement. Rejection of arbitration will not constitute rejection of any prior or future arbitration agreement between you and us.
11.11. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement. The “Modification of Terms” section of these Terms does not apply to this Arbitration Agreement. Instead, you and Pelican agree that Pelican may amend this Arbitration Agreement, and that any amendment shall be effective upon written notice to you. Any change shall not apply to claims that have accrued prior to us providing you with notice of the change, and will only apply to Claims that accrue after we provide such notice. If you do not agree to the amended Arbitration Agreement, you may reject these amendments by providing us written notice within 30 days after the date we provided notice of the amendment. The rejection notice must include your name, address, phone number, and personal signature, and must be sent to us at legal@pelicaninvests.com. In the event you reject an amendment to this Arbitration Agreement, you will not be bound by the amended Arbitration Agreement; instead, you will continue to be bound by the original Arbitration Agreement
