c. Arbitration rules and selection of arbitrators. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the AAA shall administer the resolution of covered disputes pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA rules"). Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAN.s website (www.adr.org) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 ("Offer of Judgment") shall apply, as well. In the event of any inconsistency between this Dispute Resolution Agreement and the applicable rules of the AAA, this Dispute Resolution Agreement shall govern. The parties shall have 30 days from receipt of a notice of arbitration to select a mutually agreeable arbitrator. If the parties are unable to jointly select the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected as provided in the AAA rules;
d. Commencement of arbitration and location of hearing. A party wishing to initiate arbitration must notify the other party in writing by hand delivery or certified mail. The notice must identify the party requesting the arbitration, and it must describe the facts upon which the claim is based, the date and location of any occurrences giving rise to the claim, and the remedy requested. The notice must be sent to the Medical member's email address on file with Clobo, or (enter Clobo contact information). The arbitration hearing shall be held in San Francisco, California;
e. The payment of filing and arbitration fees will be governed by the relevant AAA rules subject to the following modifications:
i. If the Member initiates arbitration under this Dispute Resolution Agreement and is otherwise required to pay a filing fee under the relevant AAA rules, Clobo agrees that, unless the claim is for $5,000 or more, the Member’s share of the filing fee is limited to $50, and after the Medical member submits proof of payment of the filing fee to Clobo, Clobo will promptly reimburse the Medical member for all but $50 of the filing fee. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Member’s claim or the relief sought in the claim 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;
ii. If Clobo initiates arbitration under this Dispute Resolution Agreement, Clobo will pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court or agency), including the regular and customary administrative fees and expenses charged by AAA. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator;
iii. Except as provided for in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68, each party shall pay its own attorneys' fees and any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the claim(s) were litigated in a court or agency such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents; take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts; copy documents; etc.).
f. Authority of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the same authority to order remedies to individual claimants as would a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall also have the same authority to decide dispositive motions as would a court, though he or she may establish appropriate and less formal procedures for such motions consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration proceedings. The arbitrator shall have the authority to issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of witnesses at the arbitration hearing and to compel the production of documents during discovery. Except as provided below, the arbitrator shall have the authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Dispute Resolution Agreement, including without limitation any claim that the Dispute Resolution Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to hear disputes not recognized by existing law and shall dismiss such claims upon motion by either party in accordance with the standards and burdens generally applicable in federal district court;
g. Waiver of class, collective, and/or representative actions. The Medical member understands and agrees that all claims covered by this Dispute Resolution Agreement that the Member may have against Clobo must be brought in the Member’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative action proceeding. Similarly, any claims covered by this Dispute Resolution Agreement that Clobo may have against a Member may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative action proceeding. The Medical member understands that there is no right or authority for any dispute covered by this Dispute Resolution Agreement to be heard or arbitrated on a collective action basis, class action basis, as a private attorney general, or on bases involving claims or disputes brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public, on behalf of other Clobo company employees (or any of them) or on behalf of other persons alleged to be similarly situated. Medical member understands that there are no bench or jury trials and no class actions or representative actions permitted under this Dispute Resolution Agreement. The arbitrator shall not consolidate claims of different Members into one proceeding, nor shall the arbitrator have the power to hear arbitration as a class action, collective action, or representative action. Any disputes regarding the enforceability or scope of this provision including, but not limited to, whether class, collective, or representative actions are authorized in arbitration by this Dispute Resolution Agreement, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction rather than by an arbitrator;

(the "FAA"); and the parties are subject to the FAA for purposes of the Dispute Resolution Agreement. This choice of law provision applies only to this Dispute Resolution Agreement, and not to the rest of these Terms;
k. Attorney's fees; survival; and right to consult. The arbitrator shall award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in any arbitration arising out of or relating to these Terms, and where otherwise provided by applicable law. This Dispute Resolution Agreement section shall survive termination of these Terms. The Medical member acknowledges and agrees that he/she is entering into this Dispute Resolution Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by Clobo or anyone else. The Medical member further acknowledges and agrees that he/she has carefully read this Dispute Resolution Agreement and that Medical member has asked any questions needed for the Member to understand the terms, consequences, and binding effect of this Dispute Resolution Agreement and fully understand it, including that the Member is waiving his/her right to a jury trial. Finally, the Member agrees that he/she has been provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney of the Medical member's choice before agreeing to this Dispute Resolution Agreement.
