Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
MOST CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE USER’S SATISFACTION BY CONTACTING KILROY AT dataprivacy@kilroyrealty.com. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT KILROY IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. 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. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND KILROY WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.
Arbitration Agreement:
(a) Kilroy and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes, including any disputes related to the Website and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement and use of the Website and Services, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including injunctive and other relief sought, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to: claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us arising out of the use of the Website or Services; claims that arose before this or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.
For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “Kilroy,” “you,” and “us” shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services, products or information provided or made available under this or prior Terms between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the Website or Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into these Terms and Conditions, you and Kilroy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law. These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms or your relationship with Kilroy for any reason.
(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”'). The Notice to Kilroy should be addressed to: Kilroy Realty, L.P., 12200 West Olympic Blvd., Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90064, ATTN: Legal Department (“Notice Address”). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Kilroy (“Demand”). If Kilroy and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Kilroy may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Kilroy or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Kilroy is entitled. In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California. Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding. The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary).
You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org
(c) After Kilroy receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. The filing fee currently is $200, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Terms’ other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of the Terms including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or the Terms is void or voidable. However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether this agreement permits class proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of these Terms and Conditions, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of these Terms and Conditions and shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. Unless Kilroy and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of California, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing or registered address. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your 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 such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Kilroy for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.
(d) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.
(e) YOU AND KILROY AGREE THAT EACH 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 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Further, unless both you and Kilroy agree otherwise, the arbitrator or arbitration administrator may not consolidate or aggregate more than one person’s claims (except as set forth in subparagraph (f) below) and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive 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. If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced. Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in subparagraph (e) or (f) below shall prevent you or Kilroy from participating in a classwide settlement of claims.
(f) YOU AND KILROY AGREE THAT ADMINISTRATION OF ANY MASS, COLLECTIVE OR BATCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS SUBPARAGRAPH (F). You and Kilroy agree that a “mass, collective, and/or batch arbitration” includes, but is not limited to, instances in which you and others are represented by a law firm or collection of law firms or legal counsel that has filed more than 150 arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature against Kilroy, alleging similar or identical claims or causes of action, within 180 days of the arbitration demand filed on your or others behalf, and the law firm or collective of legal counsel/law firms seeks to simultaneously or collectively administer and/or arbitrate all the arbitration demands together. If more than 150 arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature, alleging the similar or identical claims or causes of action, are filed against Kilroy by the same law firm or collection of legal counsel/law firms within 180 days of one another, each arbitration demand must be filed, administered, arbitrated, and resolved pursuant to this subparagraph (f).
Specifically, in order to increase the efficiency of resolution for any mass, collective, and/or batch arbitration, in the event 150 or more similar arbitration demands against Kilroy are filed within a 180 day period pursuant to the above, the arbitration provider shall (i) group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 150 demands per group; and (ii) provide for resolution of each group or batch as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator assigned per group or batch. You and Kilroy agree to cooperate in good faith with the arbitration provider to implement the aforementioned protocol for mass, collective, and/or batch arbitrations with regard to resolution, fees and administration. If subparagraphs (f)(i) or (f)(ii) are not enforced, or the arbitration provider refuses to follow these specific mass, collective, and/or batch arbitration protocols, then each arbitration demand must be filed, administered, arbitrated, and resolved individually, or the parties agree to seek out a different, mutually agreeable and widely-recognized arbitration organization agreeable to follow subparagraphs (f)(i) or (f)(ii). If any other portion of this subparagraph (f) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (f) and this agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. Mass, collective, and/or batch arbitrations shall otherwise be subject to all other substantive and procedural terms contained within this agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Kilroy makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) after your use of the Website, you may reject any such change and require Kilroy to adhere to the language in this arbitration provision as written at the time of your access to this Website if a dispute between us arises, by providing Notice to Kilroy at the Notice Address in subsection (b) above.
Miscellaneous
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by the “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” Section of these Terms (including with respect to the choice of law and venue for any dispute) and the Federal Arbitration Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, interpretation or application of any provision of these Terms and Conditions and any disputes arising out of or relating to it shall be governed by the laws of the State of California regardless of where you access the Website, and notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles. In the event that court intervention is required with respect to interpretation, application, or enforcement of the “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” Section of these Terms (including without limitation for petitions to confirm or vacate arbitration awards), the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Los Angeles, California to the maximum extent permitted by law. This provision and the terms set forth in the “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” Section of these Terms for Dispute Resolution shall survive termination of your relationship with Kilroy, or termination of the Terms.
Limitation of Time to File Claims
Any action, claim or dispute you have against us must be filed within one (1) year, unless prohibited by applicable law. The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.
Notices
You agree that we may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these Terms and Conditions, by e-mail to the address you provide to us.
Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Website or Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of you or us, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and any other terms, the terms of these Terms and Conditions shall govern. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve, as closely as possible, the effect of the original term and all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue in full force and effect. The headings of sections and paragraphs in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation.
