30. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND SECA FUNDING COMPANY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and SECA Funding Company agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. We will make reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Site, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against SECA Funding Company and any claim that SECA Funding Company may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Policies, our Privacy and Cookie Policy, or any SECA Funding Company transactions shall be resolved exclusively by final and confidential binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has minimum standards of procedural fairness for consumer arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, SECA Funding Company agrees to provide the benefit of such minimum standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such minimum standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (h) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:

(a) Single Arbitrator. The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and SECA Funding Company (the “Arbitrator”);
(b) Arbitrator Will Interpret This Policy. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Policies and/or these arbitration provisions in this section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Policies is void or voidable;
(c) Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location in Johnston County, North Carolina; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and SECA Funding Company or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
(d) Governing Law. The Arbitrator (i) shall apply the laws of the State of North Carolina consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with North Carolina or federal rules of procedure, as applicable and issue written rulings deciding such motions; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;
(e) No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or SECA Funding Company Visage’s individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;
(f) Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;
(g) Arbitration Costs and Fees. At the commencement of an arbitration, each party shall pay ½ of the arbitration fees; the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable and actual attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and arbitration fees; and
(h) Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor SECA Funding Company shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.
