Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH JARO, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
All claims and disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Terms or the use the Services that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and JARO 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.
Arbitration Rules
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the AAA 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. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award 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 of the award 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.
Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration
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.
Authority of the Arbitrator
The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and JARO. 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 applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. 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 JARO.
Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND JARO WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and JARO are instead electing to have all 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. If any litigation should arise between you and JARO over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND JARO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
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, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 18.
Confidentiality
No part of the procedures will be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order, or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information needed to enforce this arbitration agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Right to Waive
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.
Small Claims Court
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or JARO may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Arbitration Agreement Survival
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with JARO.
Forum and Venue
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and JARO agree that all claims and disputes in connection with the Terms or the use of the Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court of Delaware. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes in connection with the Terms or the use of the Services must be litigated exclusively in the Delaware Superior Court, City of Wilmington DE. You and JARO consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
Choice of Law
The laws of the State of Delaware, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, will govern all disputes between you and JARO, but only to the extent they are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
COMPENSATION FOR JARO ART CONTENT
The information as set forth below of this COMPENSATION FOR JARO ART CONTENT document (“Compensation”) is intended to be exemplary of the method that may be used by JARO Media Services, LLC (“JARO”) to provide compensation to an ARTIST who uploads Artistic Content, in the form of copies of Art Works (i.e. paintings, photographs, graphics, drawings, sculptures, prints, etc.), to the JARO Platform according to the terms and conditions of the JARO TERMS OF SERIVCE (TOS). The information below is simply exemplary and does not constitute an agreement, nor the formation of a contract, between JARO and the Artist. The following should be used for informational purposes only.
JARO in exchange for Artistic Content, in the form of copies of Art Works (i.e. paintings, photographs, graphics, drawings, sculptures, prints, etc.), submitted by the ARTIST according to the JARO TOS, may compensate the ARTIST for the use of the Artistic Content by JARO as permitted by the TOS according to the following:
JARO, in its sole discretion, may pay the ARTIST Quarterly Royalty Payments for each Art Work of said Artistic Content submitted by the ARTIST calculated as a percentage of the Art Streaming Advertising and Subscription Revenue Pool. JARO in its sole discretion will determine the amount of the Art Streaming Advertising and Subscription Revenue Pool in each quarter. Display advertising revenues shall not be included in the Quarterly Royalty Payment calculations.
- The percentage of the Streaming Advertising revenues is calculated for each JARO customer based on daily measurements of the streaming time for each Art Work and the total streaming time for that JARO customer’s Personal Gallery (PG), multiplied by the Streaming Advertising Revenue Pool in said quarter. (i.e. Quarterly Payment is proportional to (Art Work Stream Time/Total PG Stream Time) x Streaming Advertising Revenue Pool).
- In addition, the percentage Art Subscription revenues is calculated for each JARO customer based on measurements of the ratio of the Days the Art Work is included in a customer’s PG in said quarter and the average number of Art Works included in the customer’s PG for said quarter, multiplied by the Subscription Revenue Pool in said quarter. (i.e. Quarterly Payment is proportional to (Art Work Days in PG/Avg. Art Works in PG) x Subscription Revenue Pool).
- Revenue pool is defined, at JARO’S sole discretion, as a percentage (targeted at 30%) of the art streaming ad revenues and net subscription fees.
- If the total Quarterly Royalty payment to an ARTIST is less than $25, the Quarterly Royalty payment to the ARTIST will be forfeited.
- Quarterly payments will be paid within 45 calendar days of the end of each quarter.
