Governing Law/ Dispute Resolution

All claims, disputes, or controversies arising from or related to your use of the Website and these terms and conditions (including all statutory claims and any state or federal claims) shall be resolved in accordance with the mediation and arbitration herein.

By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to use other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes. The parties agree that these terms and conditions require the use of mediation and arbitration on an individual basis to resolve covered disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

These terms and conditions, and any non-contractual matters or obligations arising out of these terms and conditions or the Website, including (without limitation) claims arising in tort, fraud, under statute or otherwise arising from or relating to the Services, or questions arising from or relating to the scope or enforceability of this paragraph, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of California applicable to agreements made, and fully to be performed, therein by residents thereof.

Mediation

A party shall submit a dispute to mediation by written notice to the other party or parties. The mediator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties. Any mediator must be acceptable to all parties and must confirm in writing that he or she is not, and will not become during the term of the mediation, an employee, partner, executive officer, director, or substantial equity owner of any Finops client.

The mediator shall conduct the mediation as he/she determines, with the agreement of the parties. The parties shall discuss their differences in good faith and attempt, with the mediator’s assistance, to reach an amicable resolution of the dispute. The mediation shall be treated as a settlement discussion and shall therefore be confidential. The mediator may not testify for either party in any later proceeding relating to the dispute. The mediation proceedings shall not be recorded or transcribed.

Each party shall bear its own costs in the mediation. The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the mediator.

If the parties have not resolved a dispute within ninety (90) days after written notice beginning mediation (or a longer period, if the parties agree to extend the mediation), the mediation shall terminate and the dispute shall be settled by arbitration. In addition, if a party initiates litigation, arbitration, or other binding dispute resolution process without initiating mediation, or before the mediation process has terminated, an opposing party may deem the mediation requirement to have been waived and may proceed with arbitration.
