THE FOLLOWING MEDIATION OR ARBITRATION PROVISION STATES THAT YOU AND BELMONT COUNTY GIG AGREE TO RESOLVE CERTAIN DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION (EXCEPT WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS DESCRIBED IN THE OPT OUT PROVISION BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT OPT OUT OF THIS PROVISION, YOU WILL BE BOUND TO SETTLE YOUR DISPUTE IN THE FOLLOWING MEANS.

A “Dispute” includes any claim, dispute or controversy between you and BELMONT COUNTY GIG, its respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional tort) or other legal or equitable theory.

You and BELMONT COUNTY GIG agree that you will try to resolve any Dispute informally before proceeding to mediation or arbitration. Subscriber Disputes should be directed to BELMONT COUNTY GIG customer service at the number listed on the BELMONT COUNTY GIG website. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute informally, then except as otherwise described below, You and BELMONT COUNTY GIG agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this agreement (but not any claims arising out of the theft or other unauthorized receipt of any BELMONT COUNTY GIG service on the part of you) shall be resolved by arbitration commenced within one year under the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (or any consumer rules adopted by the American Arbitration Association to which both parties agree). No claim subject to arbitration under this agreement may be combined with a claim subject to resolution before a court of law or equity. The arbitrability of Disputes shall be determined by the arbitrator. Any award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall state the reasons for the award. Judgment upon an award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any damages in excess of the applicable limits set forth in or excluded under Sections 10, 11 or 13 of this Agreement. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1-16, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this paragraph. Each party shall bear its own expenses and the cost of arbitrator(s) shall be shared except that Subscriber may recover his/her filing and arbitrator(s)’ fees if Subscriber is the prevailing party. The parties expressly waive any entitlement to attorneys’ fees or punitive damages to the fullest extent permitted by law. Consolidated or class action arbitrations shall not be permitted. The arbitrator shall not have the power to order pre-hearing discovery of documents or the taking of depositions, but may compel attendance of witnesses and the production of documents at the hearing. In lieu of arbitration, you and BELMONT COUNTY GIG may bring Disputes before a small claims court, if the Dispute falls within the jurisdiction of the small claims court. If you bring a claim in small claims court, where legally permissible, you waive discovery in the proceeding, meaning that you agree you will not be able to depose BELMONT COUNTY GIG witnesses or seek non-public documents.

Opt out. You may opt out of the above arbitration provision by notifying BELMONT COUNTY GIG in writing within 30 days of the commencement of this Agreement, as defined in Section 1, by sending an email to customercare@BelmontCountyGig.com or a letter via U.S. mail to BELMONT COUNTY GIG, Attn: Legal, PO Box 29, Morrow, OH 45152 stating that you opt out of this arbitration provision. Your decision to opt out of the arbitration provision will not affect any other portion of this Agreement with BELMONT COUNTY GIG and will remain in effect regardless of any future modifications to this Section by BELMONT COUNTY GIG or your agreement to any new terms of service under this Agreement. If you enter into a new agreement with BELMONT COUNTY GIG and wish to opt out of any portion of that new agreement, you will need to follow the opt out provisions specific to that agreement.

Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver. YOU AND BELMONT COUNTY GIG WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND BELMONT COUNTY GIG FURTHER AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER IN YOUR OR BELMONT COUNTY GIG’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. You and BELMONT COUNTY GIG agree that this class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration provision and if the waiver of class action is not enforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 arbitration provision shall be null and void, except for the waiver of the right to trial by jury.

One Year to Bring Claim. YOU MUST CONTACT BELMONT COUNTY GIG WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT OR FACTS GIVING RISE TO YOUR CLAIM (EXCEPT FOR BILLING DISPUTES WHICH ARE GOVERNED BY SECTION 5), OR YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM.

Survival. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement is, and shall be interpreted as, subject to applicable law and regulation and to any applicable franchise agreement between a governmental authority and BELMONT COUNTY GIG. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties as set forth herein, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Unless otherwise specified, all notices required or contemplated hereunder will be provided by BELMONT COUNTY GIG by such means as BELMONT COUNTY GIG shall determine in its discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that BELMONT COUNTY GIG may provide any notices required or contemplated hereunder or by applicable law, including without limitation notice of changes to this Agreement or the BELMONT COUNTY GIG Policies and Practices, by electronic means (e.g., email or online posting), except as prohibited by applicable law.

Failure by BELMONT COUNTY GIG to enforce any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights. No waiver by either party of any breach or default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

Unless you have entered into an Agreement with BELMONT COUNTY GIG that has a specified minimum term, you or BELMONT COUNTY GIG may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by providing the other party a minimum of twenty-four hours written notice of the termination request. BELMONT COUNTY GIG may also provide notice of termination by electronic or other means. BELMONT COUNTY GIG may also terminate Service pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 1332.26(D); violate any of the BELMONT COUNTY GIG Practices and Policies; or improperly use the Services or BELMONT COUNTY GIG Equipment. If you have entered into an agreement with BELMONT COUNTY GIG for a specified minimum term, termination of Service will be controlled by the terms and conditions of such agreement and may subject you to payment of an early termination fee.

Upon termination of any Service or this Agreement, for any reason, you agree to:

• Cease using the relevant Service and accompanying BELMONT COUNTY GIG Equipment and software;
• Promptly return the BELMONT COUNTY GIG Equipment and/or software;
• Fully pay any required fees and/or charges for the Service and BELMONT COUNTY GIG Equipment.

BELMONT COUNTY GIG reserves the right, but shall not be required, to delete any files, programs, data, email messages, voicemail, usernames and e-mail addresses associated with your Service.

This Agreement is, and shall be interpreted as, subject to applicable law and regulation and to any applicable franchise agreement between a governmental authority and BELMONT COUNTY GIG. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties as set forth herein, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the Services, BELMONT COUNTY GIG Equipment or software may be assigned or transferred, in any part, without the prior written consent of BELMONT COUNTY GIG. BELMONT COUNTY GIG may assign all or part of this Agreement without notice to you and without your consent.

Portions of this Agreement will survive termination, including Arbitration (Section 14), your Indemnification of BELMONT COUNTY GIG (Section 12), Limitation of Liability (Section 13), Disclaimer of Warranties (Section 11) fee and payment obligations (Section 5), claims, rights and remedies arising from a violation of this Agreement, and other terms that should reasonably be expected to continue after termination of the Agreement.
