Arbitration procedures
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual, including monetary damages, and injunctive or declaratory relief. An arbitrator also must follow the Terms as a court would. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Arbitration Provision. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at http://www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or the other party, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, either you or the other party may elect to have the arbitration conducted based solely on written submissions pursuant to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, which election shall be binding on you and the other party subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant.
Costs of arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Arbitration Provision. If the value of the relief you are seeking is $10,000 or less, the other party will pay or reimburse your filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by the other party should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and the other party will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse the other party for all fees associated with the arbitration that the other party Fly Now Pay Later paid on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
Jury waiver
IF FOR ANY REASON A DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND THE OTHER PARTY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND THE OTHER PARTY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Future changes to this arbitration provision
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you agree that if we make any change to this Arbitration Provision (other than a change to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding prior to the effective date of the change.
