This Arbitration Clause (this “Clause”) describes how a Dispute (as defined below) may be decided and how, under certain circumstances, Disputes will only be decided through binding, individual arbitration. Arbitration is an alternative to a lawsuit in court and there is less discovery and appellate review. In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator decides the case instead of a judge or jury.
Dispute means any disagreement or claim related to the Website or between You and Us. “Dispute” broadly includes contract claims, tort claims, and claims for violations of laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, or any other legal or equitable theories, except “Dispute” does not include any individual claim in Your state’s version of small claims court, including any appeal of a small claims court decision.
Dispute shall include, but not be limited to, disagreements or claims involving:
You and we agree that this Clause will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law (not state arbitration law). To decide a Dispute, the arbitrator must apply the substantive law that governs the Website, and the arbitrator must honor statutes of limitation and privilege rights. Except as specifically provided in this Clause (e.g., the Waiver of Class Actions and the Mass Arbitration sections), if an arbitrator, or court where applicable, finds that any part of this Clause is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Clause will continue to apply to You and Us. If at any time there is an agreement to arbitrate claims or disputes that is different from this Clause, this Clause will apply instead of that agreement.
If there is a Dispute, the complaining party must give the other party written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) before commencing arbitration. The other party shall have at least 60 days to resolve the Dispute. The complaining party must cooperate if the other party makes reasonable requests for information about the Dispute and will not commence arbitration during that 60-day period.
If We have a Dispute, We will send a Dispute Notice to the address You provide. If You have a Dispute, You must mail Us a Dispute Notice to: Credit Acceptance, Attn: Corporate Legal, 25505 West Twelve Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan 48034-8339 (or any updated address We later give You.)
For Your Dispute Notice to be valid You need to do certain things. Your Dispute Notice must include your name, telephone number, and address. It must explain what the Dispute is about and what You would like us to do. You must sign Your Dispute Notice. If You or We send a Dispute Notice, the other party can ask for a telephone call to discuss the Dispute. Each party (and the party’s attorney, if any) must be on the telephone call. The time spent trying to resolve the Dispute following delivery of a Dispute Notice will not count toward any statutory limitation period.
You must complete the Dispute Notice requirements before starting arbitration. A court will have authority to enforce these requirements. A court can stop an arbitration from being filed or stop any arbitration that has been filed if these requirements are not followed. Any arbitration demand must state in writing that the steps in this section have been completed.
The arbitration of any Dispute shall be administered by and conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Rules for Mass Arbitration (where appropriate) (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Clause. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org. Each party has the right to challenge the application of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in connection with a Dispute as a threshold administrative issue should it maintain other rules apply (i.e., the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules). If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Clause, the parties shall agree to have the arbitration administered by National Arbitration & Mediation (NAM) or JAMS under their applicable rules and procedures, including any mass arbitration rules and procedures, as modified by this Clause. The NAM rules can be found at www.namadr.com and the JAMS rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If the parties cannot agree, they shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint NAM, JAMS, or another administrator that will administer the arbitration consistent with this Clause. The AAA Rules or applicable provider’s rules shall be referred to herein as “the Rules.”
If You are submitting an arbitration demand, you shall send it to Credit Acceptance, Attn: Corporate Legal, 25505 West Twelve Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan 48034-8339 (or any updated address We later give You) and follow the Rules for initiating arbitration. If We are submitting an arbitration demand, We shall send it to the most recent address We have on file for You and follow the Rules for initiating arbitration.
By submitting an arbitration demand, the party and counsel represent that, as in federal court, they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 on represented parties and their counsel.
The arbitrator may decide that a Dispute can be resolved on written papers without an in-person hearing. However, any Dispute that is part of a Mass Arbitration (defined below) shall have an in-person or video hearing unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator can choose to have any hearing remotely. You and Our representative will personally appear at any hearing (with counsel, if represented). Any in-person arbitration hearing that You attend will be designated in accordance with the Rules and at a place within the United States of America that is reasonably convenient for You. Notice of the time, date and location will be provided to You and Us under the Rules.
An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You and We agree that each may bring claims against the other only in Your or Our individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. Further, unless both You and We agree otherwise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. An arbitrator must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction, except an award that has been satisfied may not be entered. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which You are not a named party. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered.
The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. (“FAA”). But if the award is for monetary or other relief that could be worth or cost more than $100,000, You or We can appeal the award. The appeal will be to a three-arbitrator panel through the arbitration organization. The panel’s decision will be by majority vote. If there is an appeal of an initial award, “arbitrator” as used in this Clause will also mean the panel. This Clause’s section on costs for the initial arbitration will also apply if there is an appeal.
Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the Rules. You and We agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, You or We may elect to engage with the AAA (or the applicable provider) regarding arbitration fees, and You and We agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
If You choose to participate in a “Mass Arbitration” (defined below), these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration will apply. The other Sections of this Clause will still apply.
You agree that these additional procedures will apply if the same counsel or counsel working together or in coordination with one another assert 25 or more similar or coordinated Disputes (including Yours) against Us (“Mass Arbitration”). You and We agree that as part of these procedures, Your and Our counsel shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the parties’ and the AAA’s (or applicable provider’s) resources. If Your claim is part of a Mass Arbitration, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled for Your Dispute from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to the AAA (or the applicable provider) until Your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to this provision.
STAGE ONE: If there are at least 100 Disputes in the Mass Arbitration, Your counsel and Our counsel will choose 50 Disputes each to be filed and to proceed as individual arbitrations as part of this initial staged process. Either side can decide to have its 50 Disputes chosen randomly. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed in Stage One can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 100 Disputes, all shall proceed individually in Stage One). Each of the cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator and proceed individually. If a case is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, another claim shall be selected to proceed as part of Stage One. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims.
If, after this first set of staged proceedings, the parties cannot resolve the Disputes on their own, they will participate in a global mediation of all remaining Disputes. The parties will jointly select a mediator to mediate and attempt to resolve the remaining Disputes (considering the outcome of cases in Stage One.) We will pay the mediator’s fee.
STAGE TWO: If the remaining Disputes have not been resolved at the end of Stage One, the parties will each choose 100 Disputes to proceed as individual arbitrations. These Disputes may follow a different process if the parties agree to it in writing after mediation. Either party may choose to have its 100 Disputes chosen randomly. The parties can agree to increase the number of Disputes selected to proceed in Stage Two. If there are fewer than 200 Disputes remaining, all will proceed individually in Stage Two.
No more than three cases may be assigned to a single arbitrator to proceed individually unless the parties agree in writing. If a Dispute is withdrawn without both parties’ permission, then another Dispute will be selected to proceed as part of Stage Two. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After Stage Two is complete, the parties will engage in a mediation of all remaining Disputes. The parties will jointly select a mediator to mediate any Disputes that were not resolved in Stages One or Two. We will pay the mediator’s fee for consumer Disputes.
After the mediation session, if there are more than 200 Disputes that are not settled or withdrawn, each remaining Dispute that is not settled or withdrawn will be opted out of arbitration and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction on an individual basis consistent with the remaining claims. After the mediation session, if there are 200 or fewer Disputes that are not settled or withdrawn, all will proceed individually in arbitration.
A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this Clause. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration apply to Your Dispute and are not enforceable, then Your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction on an individual basis consistent with the remainder of the Clause.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE ALSO KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT. HOWEVER, THE PARTIES SHALL STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS PROVISION IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, ONCE AN APPEAL IS OVER, THIS ENTIRE CLAUSE, EXCEPT FOR THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND THIS SENTENCE, WILL BE UNENFORCEABLE.
