19. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ARBY’S AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

 

WE BOTH AGREE TO ARBITRATE. You hereby agree that any dispute between you and Arby’s and its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “Arby’s”) arising from or relating to (a) your use or misuse of the ARBY’S CANADA ONLINE SERVICES (including without limitation any Arby’s Card or Arby’s Card), (b) these Terms and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof or (c) the relationships which result from these Terms, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration in Toronto, Ontario administered by the ADR Institute of Canada under its ADRIC Arbitration Rules (“Rules” available at https://adric.ca/rules-codes/arbrules/), in effect on the date thereof. If there is a conflict between the Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate, the rules set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate will govern.

 

WHAT IS ARBITRATION: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can.

 

PRE-ARBITRATION PROCEDURES. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days' advance written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. During such 60-day notice period, we agree to endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration.

 

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES. To initiate arbitration, you or Arby’s must do the following things:

 

(1) Write a written Notice of Request to Arbitrate. The Notice must include a description of the claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered, among other information. You can find a full list in section 2.1.2. of the Rules at https://adric.ca.

(2) Send one copy of the Notice of Request, plus the appropriate filing fee to: ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. 705-130 Albert Street, Ottawa, ON K1P5G4.

(3) Send one copy of the Notice of Request to the other party.

 

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Arby’s will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse Arby’s for all fees associated with the arbitration that Arby’s paid on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the Rules.

 

 

AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

NO CLASS ACTIONS. Arby’s and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. To the extent allowed by applicable law, neither Arby’s nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private attorney action and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis.

 

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be 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 the event any litigation should arise between you and Arby’s in any provincial or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND ARBY’S WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH A LAWYER IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

 

OPT-OUT OF AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting Arby’s via any of the methods in our Contact Us link found here and providing the requested information as follows: (1) Your Name; (2) the URL of the Terms and Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes; (3) Your Address; (4) Your Phone Number; (5) and clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision in the Terms. The Opt-Out Notice must be sent no later than 30 days after the date you first accept the Terms by using the ARBY’S CANADA ONLINE SERVICES.

 

If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced. In any circumstances where the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes permits the parties to litigate in court, then such dispute between us arising under the Terms or your misuse of the ARBY’S CANADA ONLINE SERVICES will be subject to the jurisdiction and venue of the provincial and federal courts located in Toronto, Ontario, and governed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding its conflict of law rules.

20. Taxes

You are solely responsible for any and all duties, taxes, levies or fees (including any sales, use or withholding taxes) imposed on or in connection with these Terms or the ARBY’S CANADA ONLINE SERVICES by any authority.

21. General Provisions

No delay or failure on the part of Arby’s to enforce any part of these Terms will constitute a waiver of any of Arby’s' rights under these Terms whether for past or future actions on the part of any person. Neither the receipt of any funds by Arby’s nor the reliance of any person on Arby’s' actions will be deemed to constitute a waiver of any part of these terms. Only a specific, written waiver signed by an authorized representative of Arby’s will have any legal effect whatsoever. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any provision of these Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law, such provision will be deemed to be deleted without affecting the enforceability of all remaining provisions. These Terms will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon

each party’s successors and assigns. These Terms and the rights granted hereunder may be assigned by Arby’s but you may not assign them without the prior express written consent of Arby’s. The headings and captions contained herein are for convenience only.
