13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Most issues can be resolved quickly and amicably by contacting Firehouse Subs customer support by filling out a support ticket through our Support Tool Form. We encourage you to contact customer support before following the procedures specified in this Section 13.For purposes of this Section 13 (Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class ActionWaiver), the term “RBI” or “we” shall include RBI and its subsidiaries, affiliates, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns. Except where prohibited by applicable law, which may include the Province of Quebec (to the extent applicable), the following terms apply to all legal disputes between you and RBI.You and RBI agree to arbitrate all “Disputes” between us. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed below), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, that either of us seeks legal recourse for, including the validity, enforceability, applicability, scope, or meaning of this agreement to arbitrate or any portion of it, and including claims that arose before this or any prior agreement or that arise after the termination of the Terms. The term Dispute will be given the broadest possible meaning permitted by law. In Disputes involving minors, where the minors’ parent(s) or guardian(s) have accepted these Terms of Service, claims asserted by the minor(s) and by the minors’ or minors’ parent(s) or guardian(s) are subject to this agreement to arbitrate.Only the following Disputes are exempt from the arbitration requirement: (1)complaints you wish to make to a government agency; (2) small claims court actions (as discussed below); (3) claims related to intellectual property infringement; (4) claims related to the enforceability of the requirement that arbitrations must be conducted on an individual basis only; (5) disagreements over the satisfaction of the Informal Resolution requirement described below as a prerequisite to arbitrating; and (6) actions to compel arbitration or to uphold or enforce any prior arbitration decision. Further, you or RBI may seek an injunction in court on an individual (non-class) basis to preserve the status quo between us for the entire period until we resolve the Dispute in arbitration.
A. Informal Resolution: If you have a Dispute against us, or if we have a Dispute against you, you and we will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the resolution of any Dispute for at least30 days (“Informal Resolution”) from the day you or we receive a written notice of a dispute from the other party (a “Notice of Dispute”) in accordance with theseTerms.You must send any Notice of Dispute—and any other correspondence required by this agreement—to the following address for RBI: Restaurant Brands InternationalUS Services LLC, Attn: Legal, 5707 Blue Lagoon Drive, Miami, Florida 33126.We will send any Notice of Dispute to the email address and/or any physical address you have provided us. The Notice of Dispute sent by either party must include the sender’s name, address, and other contact information, a description of the Dispute (including any relevant account names), and what resolution to the Dispute is being sought.The Notice requirement is designed to allow us (or you, in the case of a dispute we assert against you) to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if we or you choose to do so. You and we cannot proceed to arbitration unless this information has been provided. If you or we proceed to arbitration without providing a compliantNotice of Dispute, the sufficiency of a Notice of Dispute is an issue to be decided by a court. A court may enjoin the filing of an arbitration demand that has not been preceded by a compliant Notice of Dispute and may order a party that has filed an arbitration demand without having provided a compliant Notice to reimburse the other party for any arbitration fees and costs already incurred.We hope you’ll try Informal Resolution first, and you must do so before commencing an arbitration, but you don’t have to before going to small-claims court.
B. Small Claims Court: You and we agree that disputes that qualify for small-claims court in either the county where you live or the United States may be brought as individual actions only in such small-claims courts. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND RBI AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. Any Dispute brought in small claims court must remain in such court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction and may advance only on an individual (non-class, non-representative basis).
C. Binding Individual Arbitration: You and we agree that Disputes not resolved through Informal Resolution will be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by National Arbitration andMediation (“NAM”), https://namadr.com, according to the U.S. Federal ArbitrationAct (“FAA”) and federal arbitration law and according to NAM’s ComprehensiveDispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the Dispute arises (the“NAM Rules”), as modified by these Terms, unless you reside in a country whereNAM is not available to arbitrate the Dispute, in which case the arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), https://www.adr.org. For disputes that must be arbitrated by AAA, the then-current version of the AAA’sConsumer Arbitration Rules will apply. This agreement to arbitrate affects interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this agreement will be substantively and procedurally governed by the FAA, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted bylaw.THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. Under no circumstances do we consent to have anyDisputes arbitrated using class action procedures, even if the arbitration provider has rules permitting class arbitrations.“Arbitration” means that Disputes between us will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. “Individual” means that the arbitrator may award the same remedies to you or to us as a court could, but only to satisfy your or our individual claims. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may not award money or other relief for the benefit of any person other than you or us as part of the resolution of anyDispute.“Binding” means that both you and we will have to live with the arbitrator’s decision, except to the limited extent appeals to a court are permitted under theFAA. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the rules applicable to the arbitration, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but (as provided above) only to the extent necessary to provide relief to a party in arbitration warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
i. Arbitration Procedure and Location
You or we may initiate arbitration of any Disputes not resolved by InformalResolution by filing a Demand for Arbitration with NAM in accordance with the NAMRules (or with AAA in accordance with the AAA Rules if you reside in a location where NAM is not available to arbitrate the dispute). Instructions for filing aDemand for Arbitration with NAM are available on the NAM website or by callingNAM at 800-358-2550. Instructions for filing a Demand for Arbitration with AAA are available on the AAA website or by calling AAA at 800-778-7879. You will send a copy of any Demand for Arbitration to RBI at the address specified above. We will send any Demand for Arbitration to the email address and to any physical address you have provided us.The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. You and we both agree thatthe arbitration will be conducted in the English language and that the arbitrator will be bound by these Terms.For Disputes in which the claimant seeks less than $10,000, the arbitrator willdecide the matter solely on the basis of written submissions, without a formalhearing, unless the arbitrator decides that a formal hearing is necessary. Formatters in which the claimant seeks $10,000 or more, or smaller matters in whichthe arbitrator determines a hearing to be necessary, hearings shall be conducted byvideo or telephone, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing to benecessary. If an in-person hearing is required, and you reside in the United States,the hearing will take place in Miami-Dade County, Florida, unless the arbitratordetermines that this would pose a hardship for the claimant, in which case the in-person hearing may be conducted in the claimant’s state and county of residence. Ifyou reside outside the United States, the site of any in-person hearing will bedetermined by the applicable Rules. The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and weagree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating thedecision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’sessential factual and legal findings and conclusions.To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legalor equitable remedies that are Individual to you or us to satisfy one of our Individualclaims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence).An arbitration award, and any judgment confirming it, apply only to that specificcase; it cannot be used or offered as precedent in any other case except to enforcethe award itself.Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court ofcompetent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court forjudicial confirmation of any award and an order of enforcement.
ii. Notice and Filing
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you or we must start arbitration of a Dispute within two (2) years from when the Dispute first arose. If applicable law requires you or us to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than two years after theDispute first arose, that shorter deadline applies instead. The failure to begin arbitration regarding a Dispute within the time frames described above in this section shall bar the Dispute, which means that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we will not have the right to assert the Dispute.
iii. Consumer Arbitration Fees
The terms of this section only apply to you if you are a Consumer, and only to disputes that are not Coordinated Cases.If you start an arbitration against us, you will pay the filing fee required for consumer arbitrations. In some situations, we will help you with the fees related to an arbitration you initiate against us to (hopefully) get us to a resolution quickly and fairly:If the Dispute involves a claim of damages of USD $5,000 or less, including any attorneys’ fees and all other relief you are seeking, we will pay all of the arbitration costs, including the fees you otherwise would have been required to pay.Even if the Dispute involves a claim of damages of more than USD $5,000, we may still help you with your fees: if you demonstrate that arbitration costs will be prohibitive compared to litigation costs, we will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator finds is necessary to prevent arbitration from being cost-prohibitive (as compared to the cost of litigation).For purposes of calculating damages under this paragraph and determining our obligation to pay the claimants’ share of fees, the amounts sought in claims brought by multiple claimants represented by the same or coordinated counsel will be aggregated.If we start an arbitration against you, we will pay all filing fees.Arbitration costs do not include your attorneys’ fees and expenses if you choose to be represented by an attorney. If you choose to be represented by an attorney, you will pay your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the applicable law provides otherwise.
iv. Special Procedures for Coordinated Filings
If 25 or more Disputes are initiated with the arbitrator that raise similar claims, and counsel for the claimants are the same or coordinated, these will be considered“Coordinated Cases” and the arbitration provider will treat them as such,including with respect to its fee schedule for mass arbitration filings. We will pay only our share of arbitration fees for Coordinated Cases; the claimants will be responsible for their share of those fees. Applicable statutes of limitations willbe tolled for all claimants once they have provided compliant Notices ofDispute to us, but demands for arbitration in Coordinated Cases shall only be filed with the arbitration provider as permitted by the bell wether process set forth below.Once all Notices of Dispute have been provided to us for Coordinated Cases, counsel for claimants and counsel for us shall confer in good faith regarding the number of cases that should proceed as bellwethers, to allow each side to test themerits of its arguments, before the remainder of claims may be filed with the arbitration provider. Any number chosen must be an even number so as to allow each side to designate half of the cases selected for bellwether trials. If counsel for claimants and for us do not agree on the number of bellwethers, the number shall be chosen by the arbitration provider as an administrative matter (or, in the arbitration provider’s discretion, by a process arbitrator). Factors that the arbitrationprovider may consider in making this decision include the complexity of the dispute and differences in facts or applicable laws among various claims. Once the number of bellwethers is fixed, by agreement or by the arbitration provider, each side shalleach select half that number from among the claimants who have provided compliant Notices of Dispute, and only those chosen claims may be filed with the arbitration provider. You agree that if your case is among Coordinated Cases filedagainst us, resolution of your personal claim might be delayed by this bellwether process. Failure by a party or the arbitration provider to comply with this bellwether process, such as by filing or allowing the filing of arbitration demands forCoordinated Cases other than those selected to proceed as bellwethers, is an issue to be decided by a court, which may enjoin actions inconsistent with the bellwether process.A single arbitrator shall preside over each Coordinated Case chosen for a bellwetherproceeding, and only one Coordinated Case may be assigned to each arbitrator aspart of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. Once all bellwether trials have concluded (or sooner if the counsel for the claimantsand us agree), the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases, with each side paying half the applicable mediation fee. Counsel for claimants andfor us must agree on a mediator within 30 days after the conclusion of the lastbellwether trial. If counsel for claimants and for us cannot agree on a mediatorwithin 30 days, the arbitration provider will appoint a mediator as an administrativematter. Counsel for the claimants and for us will cooperate for the purpose ofensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after themediator is appointed.If the mediation does not yield a global resolution, this arbitration requirement shallno longer apply to claimants in Coordinated Cases who provided compliant Noticesof Dispute but whose claims were not resolved in bellwether proceedings. Theircases may be filed only in the state courts in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or iffederal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the SouthernDistrict of Florida, and you consent as part of these Terms to venue such casesexclusively in these courts. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed asprohibiting either you or us from removing a case from state to federal court ifremoval is allowed under applicable law. To the extent you are asserting the sameclaims as other persons and are represented by common or coordinated counsel,you agree to waive any objection that the joinder of all such persons isimpracticable. If a formerly arbitrable Dispute is brought in court, claimants mayseek class treatment, but to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the classessought may comprise only the claimants in the Coordinated Cases who providedcompliant Notices of Dispute, and we reserve the right to contest class certificationat any stage of the litigation and on any available basis.A court shall have authority to enforce this bellwether process and may enjoin thefiling of lawsuits or arbitration demands not made in compliance with it.
D.Continuation In Effect: The dispute resolution process set forth in this agreement survives the termination of any other agreement between you and us.
E.Future Terms Changes: Although we may revise these dispute resolution terms in our discretion, we do not have the right to alter this agreement or the arbitration rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute arises, if such change would make arbitration procedures materially less favorable to the claimant. Whether changed procedures are less favorable to the claimant is an issue to be decided by the arbitrator, and if multiple claimants are proceeding in Coordinated Cases, the applicability of revised terms to the Coordinated Cases will be decided by the arbitration provider as a process matter.
F.Class Action Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, for any case not subject to the requirement to arbitrate (except to the limited extent discussed above forCoordinated Cases), you and we will only bring disputes, claims, or controversies between us in an individual capacity and shall not:
• seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity (like private attorney general actions); or
• consolidate or combine individual proceedings or permit another to do so without the express consent of all parties to these Terms.
G.Severability: If all or any provision of this Section 13 is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then you and we agree that the provision will be severed, and the rest of these terms shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. The sole exception is that if the prohibition on class arbitrations is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, you and we agree that this entire agreement to arbitrate will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court subject to the venue and choice of law clauses specified herein.
H.Your 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out of and not to be bound by the Binding IndividualArbitration provisions set forth in these Terms. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision to the address for RBI specified above.
