11. K. Arbitration Agreement

  1. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. It contains arbitration provisions, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit disputes you may have against Swob to binding and final arbitration to the extent that applicable laws permit the inclusion of arbitration provisions in these Terms.

  2. Mandatory Agreement to Arbitrate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Swob agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise in any way relating to this or previous versions of the Swob Terms or to your use of Swob Sites, Applications or Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the relationship) (hereinafter “Disputes”), will be resolved by binding individual (not class) arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and the case proceeds as an individual (non-class, non-representative) case. Each party shall bear its own costs, including attorney fees.

  3. You and Swob further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement of any claim or counterclaim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Swob may seek injunctive relief or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  4. YOU ARE HEREBY GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH SWOB. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.

  5. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and Arbitration Agreement as a court would, and can award the same damages and relief as a court, except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory relief or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties. These arbitration provisions will survive the termination of the relationship between you and Swob.

  6. Applicable to Clients in Canada: Arbitration shall be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADRProvider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section and under the rules of such ADR Provider, except to the extent such rules are inconflict with these Terms. The party demanding arbitration will propose an ADR Provider and the other party shall not unreasonablywithhold consent to use such ADR Provider.

  7. Applicable to Clients in the United States: To the extent that the above arbitration rules applicable to clients in Canada are unenforceable to clients in the United States, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply and the arbitration will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Swob.

  8. Prohibition of Class, Representative, and Consolidated Actions. YOU AND SWOB AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

  9. Unless both you and Swob agree otherwise, no arbitrator or judge may join more than one party’s claims and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review, except as permitted by applicable law. Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other Clients. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of the limitations set forth in these arbitration provisions as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim and only that claim must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

  10. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, both you and Swob waive any right to a jury trial. You and Swob also both agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

  11. Restrictions. Notwithstanding the arbitration provisions herein, you and Swob both agree that nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will be
    deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a small claims court; or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator. In addition, this Arbitration Agreement doesn’t stop you or Swob from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state/provincial, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Swob on your behalf (or vice versa).

Opting Out of Arbitration. To the extent required by applicable law, you may opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth herein by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to [email protected] or to 199 Kimber Crescent, Vaughan Ontario, L4L 9K3. The notice must be received by Swob within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the Terms herein. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Swob will also not be bound by them.

12. L. Indemnification

  1. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Swob from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your violation of any term of the Contract; (b) your use of, and access to, the Services; (c) your loss of, or disclosure of, information gained from using the Services; (d) your violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, any applicable employment, equality, or discrimination laws, and any applicable data protection or privacy laws (this includes any claims that Swob as your agent violated any such laws); (e) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; (f) any claim that your content caused damage to a third party; (g) your decision to add, create, or use the Services, including, but not limited to, a hiring event, scheduled interview, or as part of a job application; or (h) your actions as a Client, including without limitation doing or not doing the following: screening, hiring, promoting, or demoting any employee or Candidate.
