(xxviii) Dispute Resolution (a) Mandatory Arbitration Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. You and BLADE and each of Our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors in interest, successors, assigns and permitted assigns agree to arbitration, as the exclusive form of dispute resolution except as provided for below, for all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to the terms and conditions embedded in this EULA or Your use of the Service. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
• Commencing Arbitration A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (“Notice”).I In the absence of a valid mailing address provided by You to BLADE. BLADE shall send the Notice to You via any other method available to BLADE, including via e-mail. The Notice to BLADE shall be addressed to [.] (“Arbitration Notice Address”). The Notice must (A) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute/ conflict; and (B) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If You and FlyBlade do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, You or BLADE may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below. The arbitration shall be referred to a sole arbitrator who shall be mutually decided by You and BLADE and the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted at the Delhi International Arbitration Centre in accordance with the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and Delhi International Arbitration Centre (Arbitration Proceedings) Rules, 2018. The said rules are available online at http://www.dacdelhi.org/topics.aspx?mid=74. If You are required to pay a filing fee to commence an arbitration against BLADE, then BLADE will promptly reimburse You for Your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon BLADE receipt of Notice at the Arbitration Notice Address that You have commenced arbitration along with a receipt evidencing payment of the filing fee, or was filed in bad faith, in which case you are solely responsible for the payment of the filing fee.
• Arbitration Proceeding The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. A single independent and impartial arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein. You and BLADE agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens on the Parties: (A) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (B) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the Parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties; and (C) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
• No Class Actions. You and BLADE agree that You and BLADE may bring claims against the other only in Your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, You agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this mandatory arbitration section will be null and void.
• Decision of the Arbitrator Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award.
