Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Delve Fonts each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Delve Fonts relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of these Terms of Service, your use of or access to Delve Fonts' Services, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through Delve Fonts’ Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (nonclass, nonrepresentative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND DELVE FONTS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND DELVE FONTS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.

Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, 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. An arbitrator should apply the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief,” shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.

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 Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 (toll free). The use of the word “arbitrator” in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration; rather, the AAA's rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice describing the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail (“Notice”). The Notice to Delve Fonts should be sent to Delve Fonts, Attn: Legal, 2717 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA 94501. Delve Fonts will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your Delve Fonts account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.

If you and Delve Fonts are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or Delve Fonts may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to Delve Fonts at the following address: Delve Fonts, 2717 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA 94501. In the event Delve Fonts initiates an arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address we have on file associated with your Delve Fonts account. Any settlement offer made by you or Delve Fonts shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

The arbitration hearing shall be held in Alameda, California. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or Delve Fonts may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Delve Fonts subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or Delve Fonts may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Delve Fonts user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Costs of Arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. Any request for payment of fees by Delve Fonts should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and Delve Fonts 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 Delve Fonts for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Delve Fonts on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.

Severability

With the exception of any of the provisions in “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief,” if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void.

Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Delve Fonts prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and Delve Fonts. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on Delve Fonts at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments and/or by email. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your account within the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

General

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, notwithstanding any different or additional terms that may be contained in the form of purchase order or other document used by you to place orders or otherwise effect transactions hereunder, which such terms are hereby rejected. Neither party may assign these Terms of Use without the prior written approval of the other, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such approval shall not be required in connection with an assignment to an affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of such party’s assets or business related to these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use supersede all prior or contemporaneous discussions, proposals, and agreements between you and Delve Fonts relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of both parties. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect and such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible so as to effect the intent of the parties and will be reformed to the extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. No waiver of rights by either party may be implied from any actions or failures to enforce rights under these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use are intended to be and are solely for the benefit of Delve Fonts and you and do not create any right in favor of any third party. These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of laws principles. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply to this Agreement. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction located in Alameda, California, and each party irrevocably consents to such personal jurisdiction and waives all objections to this venue.

If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, California 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 (Toll Free).
