  1. TERMS SPECIFIC FOR U.S. USERS
    1. TERMS NOT APPLICABLE TO U.S. USERS.  If you access the Services from the United States or are a resident of the United States (“U.S. User”) provisions set forth in 17 above do not apply to you.  Please refer to the provisions stipulated below for your rights and obligations as a U.S. User.
    2. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.  IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT OR TO PURSUE CLAIMS IN A CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.  THESE BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE A U.S. USER.
      1. To the fullest extent allowed by law, you and reAlpha agree to submit all Disputes between us to individual, binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions in this Section 19.2.1  A “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between you and reAlpha that in any way relates to or arises from any aspect of our relationship, including, without limitation, your use of the  Services, all marketing related to the Services, any licensed content, and all matters relating to or arising from these Terms of Use (including reAlpha ‘s Privacy Policy and all other terms incorporated into these Terms of Use) or any other agreement between you and reAlpha, including any disputes over the validity, enforceability, or interpretation of this agreement to arbitrate. Our Dispute shall be subject to these BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, and negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory.  This includes claims or requests for relief that accrued before you agreed to these Terms of Use.  You and we understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited.
      2. Notice of Dispute: Prior to initiating arbitration, you must first send a written Notice of Dispute by certified mail to reAlpha at: reAlpha Tech Corp., ATTN: Legal Department, 6515 Longshore Loop Suite 100, Dublin, OH 43017.  The Notice of Dispute must include the following at a minimum: (a) your name, email address used to create an account with the Services, (b) a detailed description of your claim or Dispute with reAlpha, including dates, (c) the specific damages or other remedy or remedies that you are seeking.  If we have a dispute with you, we must first send a written Notice of Dispute detailing the dispute and sending it to your email address, which you indicated in your account with the Services.  If the claim detailed in either parties’ Notice of Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of sending the Notice of Dispute that conforms with these requirements, then you or reAlpha may commence arbitration according to the requirements in these Terms (the “Initial Dispute Resolution Period”).
      3. If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations during the Initial Dispute Resolution Period, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to formally resolve the Dispute, unless an exception or exclusion applies as stated below.  The arbitration will be administered by a single arbitrator by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) effective as of the date of the Notice of Dispute, the current version of which are available at the JAMS website, http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration, as modified by this Agreement.  If, for any reason, JAMS is unable to provide the arbitration, then except as otherwise stated below, you or we may file the Dispute with any national arbitration company that handles consumer arbitrations following procedures that are substantially similar to the JAMS Rules.
      4. Unless contrary to JAMS Rules, Arbitration hearings may be conducted by videoconference unless the arbitrator believes an in-person hearing is necessary.  In such instances, the location of an arbitration hearing will be decided pursuant to the JAMS Rules.  For Users outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Columbus, Ohio, and you and ReAlpha agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Columbus, Ohio, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.  In an arbitration, the arbitrator shall allow dispositive motions.
      5. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party.  The arbitrator must follow applicable law.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and ReAlpha, and any award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  To the greatest extent allowed by law, the arbitrator shall determine the scope, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration.  The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
      6. Class Action Waiver: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU AND REALPHA AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, GROUP, OR CLASS ARBITRATION, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR OTHERWISE SEEK TO RECOVER LOSSES INCURRED BY A THIRD PARTY.  To the extent applicable law does not allow the waiver of certain claims, but permits those claims to be arbitrated, then such claims shall be resolved in arbitration.  To the extent allowed by law, the arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, including injunctive relief.
        1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the arbitrator may not legally adjudicate or award a particular legal or equitable claim or remedy, such claim or remedy shall be stayed until all other claims and remedies are final and the arbitration completed, after which the federal or state court may adjudicate the remaining claim and, if meritorious, award the remaining remedy.  In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under the principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.
        2. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
      7. If the prohibition against class, group or collective actions is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the entire Section 15.2.1 of this Terms of Use (but only Section 15.2.1) shall be null and void.
      8. EXCEPTION – MASS ARBITRATION: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to have arbitrations administered by JAMS, if 20 or more demands for arbitration are filed relating to the same or similar subject matter and sharing common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or coordinated, you and reAlpha agree that this will constitute a “Mass Arbitration.”  If a Mass Arbitration is commenced, you and reAlpha agree that it shall not be governed by JAMS Rules or administered by JAMS.  Instead, a Mass Arbitration shall be administered by FedArb, a nationally recognized arbitration provider, and governed by the FedArb Rules in effect when the Mass Arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (the “FedArb Rules”), and under the rules set forth in these Terms of use.  The FedArb Rules are available at https://www.fedarb.com/ or by calling 1-650-328-9500.  You and ReAlpha agree that the Mass Arbitration shall be resolved using FedArb’s Framework for Mass Arbitration Proceedings ADR-MDL, available at https://www.fedarb.com/.  If for any reason the provisions in this Section 15.2.8 are found to be unenforceable, or if for any reason FedArb declines to administer the Mass Arbitration, then the Dispute comprising the Mass Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS according to the JAMS Rules and consistent with the provisions of Section 15.2.3 of this Agreement, or in small claims court.
      9. 30 Day Right to Opt Out: you have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration agreement in this Section 15.2.1 by sending us a written notice via U.S. Mail, or by any available nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.) to reAlpha Tech Corp., ATTN: Legal Department, 6515 Longshore Loop Suite 100, Dublin, OH 43017. You must sign and date the notice, and include in it your name, address, user ID, and a clear statement that you are opting out of this arbitration agreement.  The notice must be sent within 30 days of the date on which you first access or use the Services agree to these Terms of Use; otherwise, you shall be bound in accordance with Section 15.2.1.  If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, reAlpha also will not be bound by them.
