The PushAuto Parties reserve the right, at their own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you further agree that you will cooperate fully in the defense of any such claims.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
A third party arbitrator will help us resolve any disputes we might have. This means that any dispute will be resolved outside of class-action litigation.
Generally
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and PushAuto in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and PushAuto agree that every dispute arising in connection with the Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. You and us further agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of the Agreement. The arbitrator also has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT, YOU AND PUSHAUTO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions
Despite the provisions of Section 9.1, you and us both agree that nothing in the Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court within its jurisdictional limits; (b) file a complaint with the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file a suit in a court of law solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of our Services or address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator
Any arbitration between you and PushAuto will be governed by the FAA, the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by the Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting PushAuto at 888-477-PUSH
Notice and Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other by certified mail ("Notice"). PushAuto's address for Notice is: PO Box 3264 Thousand Oaks CA 91359, Attention: Legal Department. The Notice must: (a) desribe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). You and PushAuto agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if you and PushAuto do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or PushAuto must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of PushAuto's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, PushAuto will pay you the amount awarded by the arbitrator or fifteen thousand United States dollars ($15,000), whichever is greater. The arbitration proceedings, including any exchanged materials, shall be confidential and you and PushAuto agree to use reasonable efforts to streamline the proceedings, including discovery, consistent with the objectives of efficient dispute resolution.
Fees
If you commence arbitration in accordance with the Agreement, PushAuto will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, or as otherwise required, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your registered account address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse PushAuto for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions
YOU AND PUSHAUTO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, unless both you and PushAuto agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications
If PushAuto makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to PushAuto's address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to PushAuto's address for Notice, in which case your account with PushAuto will be immediately terminated but this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, will survive.
Enforceability
If any provision of this Section 10 is unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Deactivation and Termination
Termination of Agreement; Surviving Terms.
The Agreement is effective until your member account, if applicable, is deactivated by either you or PushAuto and you discontinue all use of our Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any section of the Agreement that by its nature is intended to survive termination of the Agreement or your use or access to our Services or our Content will survive such termination.
The Agreement lasts until your account is deactivated and you completely stop using our services (but there are a few parts that have to live on forever).
Deactivating Your Member Account
If you decide you want to deactivate your account you can do so by visiting our website at pushauto.com
Miscellaneous
This entire section is where we have what our lawyers fondly call “boilerplate.” Each one is pretty quick, so we won't break them down any further.
Governing Law
The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflicts of law provisions.
Entire Agreement
The terms of the Agreement (including the Privacy Policy, the Community Rules and any Additional Terms) constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between PushAuto and you in connection with your use of our Services or our Content.
Changes to the Agreement

Material modifications will take effect when you accept the modified terms; immaterial modifications will take effect when published. By continuing to use our Services following any modification to these terms, our Privacy Policy or any
Additional Terms, you are agreeing to the Agreement as modified.
Waiver Only in Writing
PushAuto's failure to enforce any of its rights or act with respect to a breach of by you or others of the Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any rights and will not limit PushAuto's rights with respect to that breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by PushAuto of any of the provisions in the Agreement will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of PushAuto.
Assignment
PushAuto may assign the Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you. You may not assign your rights under the Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our consent.
Severability
If any provision of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, then that provision will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Nothing in the Agreement shall affect any non-waivable statutory rights or remedies that apply to you.
Interpretation
The titles and annotations, including the TL;DR sections, contained in these terms are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. The Agreement will not be construed against PushAuto because we drafted it.
