ALL DISPUTES, MATTERS, OR CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND NEXT NET ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE SMS TERMS, ANY TEXT MESSAGES BETWEEN YOU AND NEXT NET OR ANYONE ACTING ON YOUR OR NEXT NET’S BEHALF, OR NEXT NET PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY OR RECOVERY, MUST BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY ARBITRATION CONDUCTED EXPEDITIOUSLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES (“AAA RULES”) BY A SOLE ARBITRATOR SELECTED BY THE PARTIES TO THE DISPUTE FROM THE NATIONAL OR STATE OF FLORIDA PANEL OF ARBITRATORS.

THIS PROVISION MUST CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE ARBITRATION MUST BE GOVERNED BY, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (9 U.S.C. § One et seq.). ANY JUDGMENT UPON THE DECISION RENDERED BY THE ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION MAY ENTER ARBITRATOR. UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, THE ARBITRATOR IS PROHIBITED FROM AWARDING DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THESE SMS TERMS.

ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED BY ARBITRATION SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES, AND MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY AAA RULES TO THE CONTRARY, THE AWARD OF THE ARBITRATOR MUST BE MADE NO LATER THAN THREE (3) MONTHS FOLLOWING THE DATE ON WHICH THE ARBITRATOR IS APPOINTED, UNLESS THE ISSUE IS THE SUBJECT OF LITIGATION BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY AND THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS IT APPROPRIATE TO DEFER ITS AWARD UNTIL THE LITIGATION IS RESOLVED.

The resolution of any claims, matters, or disputes must proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims, matters, or disputes to proceed on a class action or collective basis or on bases involving claims, matters, or disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims, matters, and disputes between you and Next Net alone. Claims, matters, or disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues, claims, matters, or disputes with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

IN A DISPUTE INVOLVING $25,000 USD OR LESS, ANY HEARING WILL BE TELEPHONIC UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR FINDS GOOD CAUSE TO HOLD AN IN-PERSON HEARING INSTEAD. ANY IN-PERSON HEARING WILL TAKE PLACE IN SAINT PETERSBURG, FL. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY AS A COURT COULD, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THESE SMS TERMS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY TO YOU INDIVIDUALLY TO SATISFY YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THESE SMS TERMS.

IF YOU DO, THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BEFORE THE CHANGE YOU REJECTED WILL APPLY.

  • SEVERABILITY. IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE AS TO ALL OR SOME PARTS OF A DISPUTE, THOSE PARTS WON’T BE ARBITRATED BUT WILL PROCEED IN COURT, WITH THE REST PROCEEDING IN ARBITRATION. IF ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO BE ILLEGAL OR UNENFORCEABLE, THAT PROVISION WILL BE SEVERED BUT THE REST OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT STILL APPLIES.

  • CONFLICT WITH AAA RULES. THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS IF IT CONFLICTS WITH THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OR CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES.
