Before You assert any claim for damages or relief of any kind in an arbitration proceeding as provided for in this Section, the parties shall make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute by following the procedure in this Section 10.3. The parties agree, before either party may initiate or demand arbitration against the other, we will individually and personally meet and confer, by telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by these Terms. Multiple individuals with disputes cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference. If you are represented by counsel (which such representation will be at your sole cost and expense), your counsel may participate in the conference, but you shall also attend and participate in the conference.
The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within thirty (30) days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify Yotta that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, send us a communication in writing to support@withyotta.com with “Complaint” in the Subject Line, and text including the following information:
(a) your email address associated with your Yotta account;
(b) your first and last name, as registered on your Customer Account;
(c) a detailed explanation of the complaint/claim;
(d) any specific dates and times associated with the complaint/claim (if applicable); and
(e) the remedy or action you are seeking from Yotta.
If We wish to initiate a Complaint, we will send a similar communication to You at the email and/or land address associated with your account.
Failure to submit a written communication with the information outlined above may result in a delay in our ability to identify and respond to your complaint/claim in a timely manner and will extend the 30-day time period for resolution before a formal arbitration may be commenced. Upon receipt of Your Complaint, we will endeavor to reply to your communication within 48 hours. Further, best efforts will be made to resolve any complaint/claim promptly and, at a maximum, within 30 days.
After 30 days have passed since the submission of your Complaint which included all of the information required in Section 10.3, if for some reason you are not satisfied with the resolution of your complaint/claim, you may then, and only then, pursue an arbitration claim as provided in Section 13 below. The same rule and requirement applies to Yotta.
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating an arbitration claim as provided in these Terms. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution begins, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to these Terms. The aforementioned informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding, including litigation if You have successfully opt-out of the arbitration agreement. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled solely by the amount of time the parties initiate and engage in this informal dispute resolution process.

11.2. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
You and Yotta agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any purchase or transaction by You, your access to or use of any Platform or the Service, or to this Agreement, the Terms of Use, the Sweepstakes Rules or Privacy Policy (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of this Agreement or the Terms of Use) (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, including claims that arose before acceptance of any version of this Agreement, except that you and Yotta are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement — including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims—you and Yotta agree and delegate to the arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on his or her own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.

11.4. INITIATING ARBITRATION
Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution process required by this Agreement, you may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), except as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879, or its then current telephone number as provided on its web site, or by sending a written request to: The American Arbitration Association, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute in accordance with this Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider.
By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law for either party’s violation of this requirement.

You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your expense) regarding the consequences of your decision.
11.6. LOCATION OF ARBITRATION & APPLICABLE RULES
You and Yotta agree that:
(a) provided the Dispute involves solely individual claims for damages in accordance with the Agreement, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Consumer Rules in effect at the time arbitration is sought, available at www.adr.org, and the arbitration shall be conducted via telephone or other remote electronic means. However, the parties agree: to select an arbitrator pursuant to the procedure set forth in R-12 of the Commercial Part Rules (instead of the Consumer Part Rules); that the AAA will only include arbitrators from the AAA National Registry Commercial Part list on the parties’ arbitrator selection list (instead of the Consumer list); and the AAA will only include arbitrators who are practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have at least ten years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving of complex business disputes, including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding whether disputes are arbitrable.
(b) You and Yotta agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis and neither you nor Yotta may bring a claim as a part of a Collective Arbitration.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the Agreement, and as an example only, a claim to resolve a Dispute against Yotta will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if: (a) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are pending concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (b) counsel for the two or more claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate in any way across the arbitrations.
(c) If, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, to the extent a party attempts to assert any claims or seek relief on behalf of or for the use of other persons or a class under any theory, or in which injunctive relief is sought by a party that would significantly impact other Yotta users or the operation of the Platform, the Commercial Arbitration Rules shall apply and, as appropriate, the Supplementary Rules for Class Action of the AAA may apply.
(d) the applicable AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.
(e) except as otherwise may be required by the AAA Rules, the arbitration will be held New York, New York.
(f) the arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit and that are not waivable under applicable law, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other persons.
(g) except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be confidential, except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement.
11.7. WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF AND COLLECTIVE ACTION
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR YOTTA SHALL BE ENTITLED TO BRING, CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. YOU MAY ONLY ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES ONLY. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN ARBITRATION OR COURT AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, MEMBER OR PART OF ANY PROPOSED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR MASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL SUIT OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER ON BEHALF OF OTHERS OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS IN ANY TYPE OF CLAIM OR ACTION. YOU AND YOTTA ARE EACH WAIVING RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PAST, PENDING OR FUTURE CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING ANY EXISTING AS OF THE DATE YOU AGREED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

11.9. SEVERABILITY
This Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof, is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect. The parties agree further that if any part of this Agreement is deemed to be illegal, invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, that the invalid or unenforceable provision should, to the greatest extent possible, be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.
