The Dispute Notice to VettaFi must be addressed to legal@tmx.com (“VettaFi Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to You will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for You, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. Within 60 calendar days upon either party receiving the Dispute Notice, the parties shall engage in a good faith informal dispute resolution conference, whether by phone, e-mail, or other channel as agreed between the parties. You and VettaFi will work in good faith to schedule the informal conference at a mutually convenient time. If You are represented by counsel, Your counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution conference, but You shall also fully participate in such discussions. The arbitrator may dismiss any arbitration brought without first proceeding through the informal dispute resolution conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
- Mediation. In the event the parties cannot resolve the Dispute via the informal dispute resolution conference, the Dispute must first be submitted to non-binding mediation before a neutral third party before it may proceed to arbitration. Selecting the mediator, the appropriate terms for mediation (including costs), and a date for mediation shall be negotiated in good faith between the parties. The administrative fees associated with mediation shall be negotiated between the parties, but You will not be required to pay any such fees that exceed those fees You would be required to pay if proceeding in a court of law. Such fees also will not include attorneys’ fees and costs, if any, unless awarded during mediation. If the parties cannot agree to appropriate terms concerning mediation, the parties shall be entitled to proceed with an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. The arbitrator may dismiss any arbitration brought without firstproceeding through the informal dispute resolution conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.

The AAA Commercial Rules and AAA Consumer Rules are available at adr.org. If there is a conflict between the AAA Commercial Rules and AAA Consumer Rules and the rules set forth in this Terms of Use, the rules set forth in this Terms of Use shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Terms of Use. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Terms of Use is void of voidable.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Hearing Format. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in the State of New York, but may proceed telephonically in the event the total amount of the claim does not exceed $2,500 U.S. dollars (if the claimant so chooses). In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, in any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by VettaFi or You shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or VettaFi is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
- Arbitration Fees. The arbitration fees are governed by AAA’s current rules shall govern. You agree that if You initiate the arbitration, You will pay Your filing fee.

You are responsible for all additional costs that You incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
- Arbitrator’s Authority. All issues of arbitrability shall be reserved to the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award relief, including but not limited to monetary, declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief. The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall briefly set forth the essential findings of fact and legal analysis. A judgment to enforce the award may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, however, any award that has been satisfied may not be filed or entered into court.
- Binding Authority / Confidentiality. The parties agree that that they are each waiving their right to a trial by jury to the maximum extent permitted by law, and that the arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding unless the parties otherwise agree in writing.
