ARBITRATION PART I. If such dispute has not been amicably settled , then such dispute shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with Inride’s Arbitration Policy effective April 1, 2024. Buyer must demand arbitration seven (7) calendar days from the date the vehicle was delivered to Buyer. Inride hereby incorporates its April 1, 2024 Arbitration Policy as if fully set forth herein. ARBITRATION PART II. If the dispute arises from the Assurance Agreement and is eligible for arbitration and is not amicably resolved, and if, and only if, Buyer does not demand arbitration with the seven days permitted under the Inride April 1, 2024 Policy, Buyer may, within fourteen (14) days from the date the vehicle was delivered to Buyer, initiate arbitration by submitting to the Administrator a written notice of intent to arbitrate the dispute, identifying the nature of the dispute and enclosing a $200 filing fee which the Administrator shall hold in escrow until the Parties select the arbitrator. The Parties will select a mutually acceptable arbitrator from a roster of arbitrators registered and in good standing with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS, or another recognized arbitration association in the United States who is willing to accept the fee structure described herein. The Parties agree to arbitrate any disputes via a video conference or similar technology that can accommodate taking of live testimony and introducing documents and/or other supporting evidence. You have a right to be represented by counsel during arbitration.

    Each party will propose one arbitrator and You will have a right to select the arbitrator. Once selected, the arbitrator must disclose to the Parties any conflicts of interest and agree to abide by the applicable Code of Ethics for arbitrators. You can object to the appointment of the selected arbitrator based on the disclosed conflicts and select an alternative arbitrator from the list by submitting such request in writing within two (2) days of receiving the list of proposed arbitrators.

    Once the arbitrator is appointed, Your demand for arbitration along with the filing fee shall be submitted to the arbitrator. We shall provide a written response, along with a filing fee of $400.00 to the arbitrator within seven (7) days of appointment. The combined filing fee of $600.00 will cover the arbitrator’s fee to review the submissions prior to the hearing, to include one (1) preliminary conference not to exceed one (1) hour. If the Dispute proceeds to arbitration, the arbitrator will be compensated by way of an additional flat fee of $1,500.00, which covers one day of hearing conducted remotely via a video conference or functionally similar digital platform (not to exceed four (4) hours), and one final award.

    The arbitrator shall apply substantive law governing the Assurance Agreement and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitrator shall provide written, reasoned findings of fact and conclusions of law. The award shall address all open issues, finally resolve the dispute, and allow the Parties to proceed without any uncertainty as to its meaning. The arbitrator may award any remedy or relief the arbitrator deems proper, except punitive, consequential, special, or exemplary damages. It is understood and agreed that the arbitration shall be binding upon the Parties and that an arbitration award may not be set aside in later litigation, except upon the limited circumstances set forth in the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §10. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither the Parties nor the arbitrator are allowed to disclose the arbitration award or the information exchanged in the context of arbitration without the prior written consent of all Parties. The Parties agree that (i) no arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be certified as a class action, proceed as a class action, or involve claims brought in a representative capacity, and (ii) no arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be consolidated with, or joined in any way with, any other arbitration proceeding.
