Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms of Service, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND ASPIRE TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

You and Aspire agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the use of the Service that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Aspire are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. To be clear: The phrase “all claims and disputes” also includes claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms of Service.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through JAMS, Inc., or its successor (“JAMS”) and will be governed by the Jams Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures and any other applicable rules that JAMS requires. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitration hearing will take place in Dallas, Texas or elsewhere as required by JAMS Rules.

If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.

Your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the JAMS Rules. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and each other in scheduling the arbitration proceedings, and in selecting one arbitrator from the appropriate JAMS list with substantial experience in resolving contract disputes.

The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Aspire. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms of Service. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Aspire.

YOU AND ASPIRE WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Aspire are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Aspire over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND ASPIRE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in the Section entitled “Governing Law and Jurisdiction/Exclusive Venue.”

Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Aspire can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify Aspire in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. You must either mail your opt-out notice to MI Technology, LLC at 7250 Dallas Parkway, Ste 400, Plano, TX 75024 or email the opt-out notice to legal@aspiretech.us.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Aspire may bring an individual action in small claims court.

This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Aspire.

To the extent that these Terms of Service allow you or Aspire to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Aspire agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service or the use of the Service will be litigated exclusively in Texas. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas or, if federal jurisdiction is not available, in the Supreme Court of Texas, and each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of the State Courts of the State of Texas. You and Aspire consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts with respect to such actions. YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the Terms of Service, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Aspire. Aspire may assign or delegate any right or obligation under the Terms of Service, by operation of law or otherwise, without your consent.

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

No waiver by Aspire of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Aspire to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement or as expressly required by law, any notice to us shall be given by certified postal mail Attn: Legal Department, MI Technology, LLC; 7250 Dallas Parkway, Ste 400, Plano, TX 75024, or by email to legal@aspiretech.us. Any notice to you shall be given to the most current email address in your account.

By using our Service, you agree that your electronic signature, including methods such as checking a checkbox or entering your name, constitutes your legal signature and acceptance, equivalent to a physical signature on a legal document. This applies to all interactions with Aspire, including accepting our Terms of Service, Privacy Notice, submitting forms, authorizing transactions, receiving notifications, and other interactions you may have with us.

You acknowledge that no third-party verification is necessary for your electronic signature to be valid. You can withdraw your consent to use electronic signatures by contacting us at legal@aspiretech.us. Please note that withdrawing consent may limit your access to certain features or ability to use the Service.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its unenforceability.

The provisions of this Agreement that should by their nature survive termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

The Terms of Service and any documents referenced herein constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Aspire regarding the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Service.
