RulesArbitration Clause

UNFILTERED Arbitration Clause

UNFILTERED | YUME Global Inc.

1. Agreement to Arbitrate

Except where prohibited by non-waivable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to UNFILTERED, YUME's competition documents, website or platform use, or any relationship between a participant and YUME shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration rather than in court.

2. Administrator and Rules

For participant-facing disputes, the parties intend that arbitration be administered under a recognized consumer-fairness framework, such as the American Arbitration Association consumer rules, if applicable. For commercial counterparties or non-consumer contracting parties, YUME may designate a recognized commercial arbitration framework, such as AAA commercial rules or JAMS comprehensive rules, in the applicable signed agreement.

Where the chosen administrator declines administration, the parties shall confer in good faith on a substitute administrator applying substantially similar fairness standards.

3. Seat, Venue, and Language

The legal seat of arbitration shall be Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, unless mandatory law requires a different seat or remote process. Hearings may be conducted remotely where appropriate. The language of arbitration shall be English, unless the arbitrator orders otherwise.

4. Informal Resolution First

Before either side initiates arbitration, the claimant must deliver a written notice of dispute describing the claim and requested relief, and the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days.

5. Individual Proceedings; No Class Relief

To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes shall proceed on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney-general action. If a court determines that this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall be severed and proceed in court while the remaining arbitrable claims proceed in arbitration.

6. Filing Fees and Fairness

Participant-facing arbitration costs shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the applicable administrator's consumer-fairness rules and mandatory law. YUME may elect to pay fees beyond the participant portion required by those rules.

7. Opt-Out Where Required

If applicable law requires a separate opt-out opportunity for consumer arbitration, YUME may provide one in the applicable website flow or notice. Where no such law applies, this clause becomes binding upon acceptance of the governing documents.

8. Exceptions

Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect confidentiality, intellectual property, or platform security pending arbitration.

9. Severability

If any portion of this clause is found unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
