9.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Please read this clause carefully. It may significantly affect your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court. For purposes of this section, “we”, “us”, “our” means “NERIDE”, and “you” or “your(s)” means “Member”. This clause is intended to be coextensive with the dispute resolution clause set out in Section 17 of the Terms of Use. Should there be any discrepancy between the terms in this Agreement and those in Section 17 of the Terms of Use, the terms in this Agreement shall govern any disputes arising out of Member’s use of the AnyRide Services or Platform.
We are committed to customer satisfaction. If you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this section.
Initial Dispute Resolution
You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any dispute or claim relating to the Platform or your use of (including access to) the Platform, any dealings with our customer service representatives, any concern regarding any services or products provided, any representations made by us, any statement displayed on our Platform, or in any of our Legal Terms (for purposes of this section, “Claim”) by contacting NERIDE customer support at +91 8416069241 or via the website support contact system..
Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and NERIDE agrees to use best efforts to settle any such Claim through consultation and good faith negotiations, and this consultation and negotiations shall be a precondition to either initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. If we are not able to resolve your Claim within sixty (60) days from the time the information dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to this clause, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small claims court, as set forth below.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration
If we do not reach an agreed upon solution pursuant to the clause immediately above, then the sole recourse for either party is to initiate binding arbitration pursuant to the following:
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE LEGAL TERMS, OR YOUR USE OF (INCLUDING ACCESS TO) THE PLATFORM, THE ANYRIDE SERVICES, OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce the Legal Terms as a court would.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
Arbitration Process
All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Platform shall be finally settled by binding individual arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class arbitration. The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to NERIDE customer support at support@neride.in
If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you have provided.
Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense.
The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the provisions of the Legal Terms and will be final and binding.
Conducting of the Arbitration
The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.
The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of the Legal Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator.
The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Legal Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of the Legal Terms is void or voidable.
The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver
You and NERIDE further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and NERIDE each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Small Claims
Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
Waiver of Jury Trial; Exclusive Venue for Litigation
To the extent that the arbitration clause set forth above does not apply, and a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Further, each party agrees that any litigation between them for disputes arising out of Company’s provision of AnyRide Services shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in New York County, NY, except for small claims court actions which may be brought in New York County, NY or in the county where you reside.
Government Agencies
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in the Legal Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
