Terms of Service

Yes Collabs LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), owns and operates www.yescollabs.com and all affiliated websites and mobile versions (“YesCollabs”), a social media website and application service that allows creators to upload photos and videos to their profile (each, a “Creator”), set prices for access to that content, and pay to access that content (each purchaser, a “Fan”). The terms “you”, “your”, or “User” refer to all end users, whether Creators or Fans.
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”), which is a legal contract governing your use of YesCollabs, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through YesCollabs. Please pay special attention to the following sections: disclaimer of warranties; limitations of liability; releases; class action waiver, mandatory arbitration, and disputes. You acknowledge and understand that, by agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing to resolve most disputes through individual arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. These Terms contain a jury trial waiver and a waiver of any and all rights to proceed in class, collective, private attorney general, representative, or consolidated action in arbitration or litigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. By registering with and using YesCollabs, you hereby accept and agree to be bound by and abide by these Terms. If you do not want to agree to these Terms or you do not meet or comply with its provisions, you must not access or use YesCollabs.
We may change these Terms on one or more occasions. Changes will become effective on the “last update” date stated at the top of this page. Changes will not apply to continuing disputes or to disputes arising out of (or relating to) events happening before the posted changes. While the Company will try to notify you when the Company changes these Terms, the Company does not assume an obligation to do so, and it is your responsibility to frequently check this page to review the most current version. By continuing to use YesCollabs after the Company posts changes to these Terms, you agree to the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your exclusive remedy is to stop accessing YesCollabs.

    1. Deactivation: If you wish to deactivate your YesCollabs account, you may select this option in your account settings.
  1. Purchases and Payments
    1. Purchasing Subscriptions: Fans who have added a valid payment method to their account may subscribe to a Creator’s User Content by clicking the “Subscribe” button on the Creator’s profile. If you purchase a subscription, you hereby authorize the Company to automatically charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the relevant subscription in a recurring manner until you cancel your subscription.
    2. Wallets: We may allow you to prepay an allotment of funds to be stored in your wallet and used for subscriptions, pay-per-view content, tips, and other purchases. However, you may not divide the cost of purchases between your wallet and traditional payment methods. If an attempted purchase costs more than the amount of funds remaining in your wallet, we may charge your listed payment card for the full amount of that purchase. Typically, funds stored in your wallet are non-refundable; however, we reserve the right to address refund requests related to wallet funds in our sole and absolute discretion.
Trials: Creators may offer trials to Fans that are not subscribed to their content. If you purchase a trial, you will receive access to that Creator’s content at a discounted rate for the duration of the trial period. At the end of the applicable trial period, you will be charged the full price of the subscription at the beginning of each subscription period, until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any further charges, you must cancel before the end of the trial period.
    1. Cancelling Subscriptions: Fans who have purchased a subscription may cancel any subscription at any time by turning off the “Auto-Renew” indicator located under the relevant Creator profile. If you cancel a subscription, you understand and agree that you will not receive a refund, and you will be able to continue to access the Creator’s content until the end of the existing billing period, at which time you will lose access to the content and not be re-billed.
      1. You may block another User; however, you will immediately lose access to that User’s content if you do so, and you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current subscription period.
      2. If you are blocked by another User to whom you have subscribed, you will immediately lose access to that User’s content, and we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether you will be issued any refund or credit for the remaining days in your current subscription period.
    2. Subscriptions Cancelled by the Company: If your payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other similar reason and the Company is unable to charge you on the next billing period, the Company may immediately revoke your access to any paid service you have ordered until you update your payment method. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time, the Company may cancel your subscription.
    3. A la Carte Purchases and Tips: Fans who have added a valid payment method to their account may, in some instances, purchase Creator’s content a la carte or tip the Creator by clicking the “Purchase,” “Tip,” or some similar button on or near the Creator’s content. If you purchase content a la carte or tip a Creator, you hereby authorize the Company to automatically charge the payment method on file for the content. You understand and acknowledge that YesCollabs is solely a facilitator of payments, and any terms in connection with such payments for a la carte content are solely between you and the Creator.
    4. Payment Processing: Users acknowledge and agree that YesCollabs relies on third-party payment processors to facilitate transactions. In the event that our payment processors experience technical issues or delays in processing payments, Users may experience delays in receiving funds. While we will make reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues and find alternative solutions, Users understand and agree that there may be instances beyond our control. Therefore, we disclaim any liability for delayed payments or issues arising from the performance or failure of our payment provider(s).
    5. Refunds: Ordinarily, our standard policy is that purchases or fees associated with your account are final and nonrefundable. However, we reserve the right to address any refund request and issue refunds in appropriate cases, within our sole discretion.
    6. Virtual Currency: We may allow Users to make purchases or receive payment on YesCollabs using one or more virtual currencies such as Bitcoin. Acceptance of such payment or payout method is in our sole discretion and may be of limited duration. Any payment in virtual currency is irreversible. Refunds of virtual currency payments is also at our sole discretion, and, if allowed, may take the form of virtual currency transfer, or corresponding cash value of the requested refund, at our option. We disclaim all risk of loss associated with virtual currency value fluctuations or technical issues, and you understand and acknowledge that you choose to use virtual currencies at your own risk. Additional administrative fees may accompany virtual currency transactions.
    7. Taxes Related to Purchases: If the Company is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a paid service, those taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction. Additionally, if required by law, you are responsible for reporting and paying certain taxes in connection with your purchase or use of a paid service. These taxes may include duties, customs fees, value added tax, or other taxes (other than income tax), along with any related penalties or interest, as applicable to your purchase or country of purchase.
    8. Taxes for Australian Sales: A Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) applies to all sales made to Australian consumers. YesCollabs specifically agrees to be responsible for the collection, reporting, and remittance of the GST associated with such sales to the Australian Taxation Office. The current rate of the GST in Australia is ten percent (10%) and is calculated as 1/11th of the gross sale made.
    9. Billing Errors: If you believe that the Company has charged you in error, you must notify the Company in writing no later than thirty (30) days after you receive the billing statement in which the error first appeared. If you fail to notify the Company in writing of a dispute within this thirty (30) day period, you waive any right to dispute the charges. You must submit any billing disputes by email to support@yescollabs.com and include a detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed charges. The Company will correct any mistakes in a bill and add or credit them against your future payments.
    10. Chargebacks: If you make a purchase that results in a chargeback, we may immediately suspend or terminate your account.
    11. Selling Content: Creators earn eighty percent (80%) of the revenue generated on all subscriptions, sales, or tips related to their content and User profile. A valid payout method must be added before payments will be issued. However, we may deduct from such revenue any monies earned on subscriptions, sales, or tips that resulted in a chargeback, or any monies earned on subscriptions, sales, or tips related to User Content that violates these Terms.
    12. Referral Program: The Company may provide you with a unique referral URL that allows you to earn income from any new Creator who registers for a Creator account using the same browser that they used to click the referral link. Referral payments will be made in accordance with the terms published on YesCollabs. You will not use Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or any advertising service or platform to impersonate the Company with the intention to refer other Users.
    13. Inactive Status: If you do not log into your YesCollabs account for one (1) year (twelve (12) consecutive months), your account will become “inactive.” If your account is inactive, we will deduct a fee equal to five United States dollars ($5 USD) each month from your account’s existing balance until your account balance is zero. To be clear, we will not charge your credit card for any fees, even if your account balance is zero. If you log into your account at any time, the monthly deductions will end, but you will not be entitled to any refunds. We will send you notice and updates by email.

  2. Complaints
YesCollabs is committed to promptly resolving, in good faith, all complaints and appeals.
    1. All media can be reported by any user directly on the site. You may also send an email to support@yescollabs.com containing your name, email address or username, applicable URLs (if any), a description of the issue (e.g., underage material, non-consensual content, personal information, impersonation, trademark infringement, spam, prostitution or trafficking, weapons, drugs, etc.), and any additional details (including whether you are depicted in the content, whether you agreed to the recording of the content, and whether you agreed to the publication of the content on YesCollabs.)
    2. We intend to operate this system as efficiently and quickly as possible in a fair and reasonable manner. We strive to resolve all reports within seven (7) business days and provide clear guidelines to prevent issues from recurring. If a violation has occurred, we will determine the appropriate remedy and take the necessary action. Any content deemed to be illegal is removed immediately. We will not take action against other users for activity that happens on another platform or offline. We may suggest that you block the other user to prevent further interactions between you and the reported user.
    3. Appeals from abuse takedowns can be sent to support@yescollabs.com with a written description of the basis for the appeal. In instances where disputes over consent cannot be resolved internally, such disputes are submitted to a neutral arbitration association at our expense. Once an action is taken or if more information is needed from you, we will contact you by email or other electronic message.
    4. We reserve the right to take advanced actions against those users that (1) repeatedly violate our rules, or (2) engage in a single egregious violation of our rules. These advanced actions may include but are not limited to deleting the offending user’s account and permanently banning the user from using YesCollabs in the future.
    5. Copyright infringement disputes are addressed by sending DMCA notices to our Designated DMCA Agent in accordance with our DMCA Policy. Our response to DMCA notices or counternotifications are governed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and our DMCA Policy.
  1. Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limitations
The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations stated herein apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law. Because some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the exclusion of some damages, or other matters, one or more of the disclaimers, exclusions, or limits will not apply to you.
  1. Indemnification
    1. Indemnification Provision: You will pay the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, service providers, content providers, employees, agents, officers, directors, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of the Indemnified Parties’ that is caused by any of the following: your access of YesCollabs; your conduct on YesCollabs, including any content you submit to YesCollabs; your breach of these Terms; your actual or alleged violation of rights of any person, including intellectual property and privacy rights; your actual or alleged violation of any law; your actual or alleged negligent, fraudulent, or intentional conduct; or your actual or alleged criminal conduct. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Parties’ intentional misconduct.
    2. Definitions Related to Indemnification: “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Parties are legally responsible for or pay in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss is “caused by” an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
    3. Indemnified Parties’ Duty to Notify You: If the Indemnified Party has your contact information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party’s failure to give you timely notice does not end your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate losses.
    4. Legal Defense of a Claim: The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
    5. No Exclusivity: The Indemnified Parties’ rights herein do not affect other rights they might have.
  2. Disputes; Agreement to Arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) Last Updated: November 30, 2024
    1. Mandatory Individual Arbitration: A “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Company, including but not limited to disputes, claims, or controversies related to or arising from YesCollabs or these Terms, including, without limitation, those relating to the formation, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, scope, or applicability of the Terms. Any Dispute, whether such Dispute arose before, on, or subsequent to you entering these Terms, and if not resolved through the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 14(b) below, shall be exclusively resolved by individual, binding arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any Dispute that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory, in whole or in part, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below, you and the Company each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. Any legal action by the Company against a non-consumer or its interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities shall not be subject to arbitration. Either party may also elect to have Disputes heard in small claims court seeking only individualized relief, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, all Disputes against the Company, including but not limited to Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to YesCollabs or the Terms, must be filed within one year after such Disputes or cause of action arose or it will be forever barred.
If any court or arbitrator determines that this Arbitration Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason as to Disputes arising before the date of posting of this Arbitration Agreement, then you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement by reason of your separate agreement to those previous versions.
If any Dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration or resolution in small claims court, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings concerning such Dispute shall be the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York, and shall be interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with substantive and procedural law of the State of New York, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles. If you or the Company files or causes to be filed in court (other than small claims court) a complaint alleging a Dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, the defendant/respondent will notify the party or the party’s attorney (if an attorney has entered an appearance) of the existence of this Arbitration Agreement, and request that the complaint be withdrawn. If the party does not withdraw the action within ten (10) calendar days of service of that notice, and the defendant/respondent successfully moves to compel arbitration of the Dispute, the defendant/respondent shall be entitled to its costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in seeking to enforce this Arbitration Agreement.
    1. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver: You and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each party is waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff, claimant, or class member in any class, collective, private attorney general, representative, or consolidated proceeding (other than a Mass Filing under the Mass Filing Procedures). This means that you and the Company may not bring a Dispute on behalf of a class or group and may not bring a Dispute on behalf of any other person unless doing so as a parent, guardian, or ward of a minor or in another similar capacity for an individual who cannot otherwise bring their own individual Dispute. This also means that you and the Company may not participate in any class, collective, private attorney general, representative, or consolidated proceeding (other than a Mass Filing under the Mass Filing Procedures) brought by any third party.
Unless both you and the Company agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, representative, or consolidated proceeding (other than a Mass Filing under the Mass Filing Procedures). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or the Company may participate in a class-wide settlement.
    1. Opt-Out Procedures: To opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must send us a written notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) by email at support@yescollabs.com (the “Notice Address”) within 30 days from the earlier of the date that you: (1) first make a payment; (2) first accessed YesCollabs; or (3) first provided information to YesCollabs after the posting of these Terms. The Opt-Out Notice must contain your full legal name, your complete mailing and email address and phone number, a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, and your signature. If your Opt-Out Period has passed, you are not eligible to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, and you will be bound to the terms and conditions of this Arbitration Agreement which shall supersede and replace in its entirety all previous versions of the Company’s arbitration agreements and class action provisions.
If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other provisions of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Additionally, if you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement by reason of your separate agreement to those previous versions. In other words, opting out of this Arbitration Agreement shall have no effect on any previous arbitration agreements you entered into with the Company. If you timely provide the Company with a valid Opt-Out Notice, and you are not bound to any previous or other arbitration agreements with the Company, all Disputes between you and the Company shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and you consent to venue in, the state and federal courts located in New York, New York, and all Disputes shall be interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with substantive and procedural law of the State of New York, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles.
If the Company make any future changes to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address or other non-material changes), the Company will provide you with notice (to the extent we have your contact information). You may reject any such change by sending an email to the Company at support@yescollabs.com within 30 days of the posting of the amended arbitration agreement that provides: (i) your full legal name, (ii) your complete mailing address, (iii) your phone number, (iv) the change(s) you are rejecting, (v) and, if applicable, the username or email address associated with any purchase from the Company. This is not an opt out of arbitration altogether. Your continued use of YesCollabs after this 30-day period constitutes acknowledgment of, and agreement to, the changes to the Arbitration Agreement.
    1. Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures: You and we agree that good-faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, cost-effective and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, in the event of a Dispute, you and the Company each agree to send the other party a written notice of the Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). A Notice of Dispute from you to the Company must be emailed to the Notice Address. Any Notice of Dispute must include (i) the claimant’s full legal name, complete mailing address, and email address; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (iii) any relevant facts regarding claimant’s use of YesCollabs, including whether claimant receives any emails associated with YesCollabs, whether claimant has made a purchase from the Company, and if so, the date(s) of the purchase(s); and (iv) a personally signed statement from the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person’s dispute. the Company will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address it has for you, if any.
After receipt of a Notice of Dispute, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute for a period of 60 days (which can be extended by agreement). You and we agree that, after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will attend (with counsel, if represented). You and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually-convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution.
Compliance with this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures section is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution procedures set forth in this subsection. All of the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures are essential so that you and the Company have a meaningful opportunity to resolve disputes informally. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or stay the prosecution of an arbitration. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with these Procedures in arbitration.
If the parties cannot resolve the Dispute through the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures above, you and the Company each agree that all Disputes shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. The parties may agree to waive hearings and resolve Disputes through submission of documents. Any arbitration hearing will be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference to the extent possible, but if the arbitrator determines, or the parties agree, that a hearing should be conducted in person, the arbitration hearing will take place as close to your residence as practicable, or another agreed upon locale, and shall be before one arbitrator.
    1. Governing Rules: You and we agree that good-faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, cost-effective and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, in the event of a Dispute, you and the Company each agree to send the other party a written notice of the Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). A Notice of Dispute from you to the Company must be emailed to the Notice Address. Any Notice of Dispute must include (i) the claimant’s full legal name, complete mailing address, and email address; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (iii) any relevant facts regarding claimant’s use of YesCollabs, including whether claimant receives any emails associated with YesCollabs, whether claimant has made a purchase from the Company, and if so, the date(s) of the purchase(s); and (iv) a personally signed statement from the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person’s dispute. the Company will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address it has for you, if any.
After receipt of a Notice of Dispute, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute for a period of 60 days (which can be extended by agreement). You and we agree that, after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will attend (with counsel, if represented). You and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually-convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution.
All Disputes shall be submitted to National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) for arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by NAM in accordance with the NAM rules and procedures (“NAM Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the NAM Rules. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on NAM’s website at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/. You and we agree that the party initiating arbitration must submit a certification that they have complied with and completed the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures requirements referenced above, and that they are a party to the Arbitration Agreement enclosed with or attached to the demand for arbitration. The demand for arbitration and certification must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). The parties agree that submission of the certification shall be required for the Dispute to be deemed properly filed. For additional information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding, you can contact NAM at customerservice@namadr.com.
If NAM notifies the parties in writing that it is not available to arbitrate any Dispute, or if NAM is otherwise unable to arbitrate any Dispute, that Dispute shall be submitted to ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) for final and binding individual arbitration before one arbitrator. The arbitration will be administered by ADR Services in accordance with the ADR Services rules and procedures then in effect (the “ADR Services Rules”), except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and any proceedings under it. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable) shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable) are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be interpreted, governed, and enforced in accordance with substantive and procedural law of the State of New York, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles.
At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.
As in court, you and the Company agree that any counsel representing a party in arbitration certifies when initiating and proceeding in arbitration that they are complying with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b) and any applicable state laws of similar import, including certification that the Dispute or relief sought is neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to impose any sanctions under the NAM Rules or ADR Services Rules (as applicable), Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, or applicable federal or state law, against all appropriate represented parties and counsel.
Except as expressly provided in the Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may grant any remedy, relief, or outcome that the parties could have received in court, including awards of attorneys’ fees and costs, in accordance with applicable law.
Mass Filing Procedures: If NAM determines that 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration (“Mass Filing”), NAM’s mass filing fee structure shall apply and the parties agree that the arbitrations will proceed in accordance with the staged process described below (the “Mass Filing Procedures”). The parties agree that throughout this process, their counsel shall meet and confer to discuss modifications to these Mass Filing Procedures based on the particular needs of the Mass Filing. You acknowledge and agree that by electing to participate in a Mass Filing, the adjudication of your Dispute might be delayed. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedures are initiated until your claim is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration, so long as your pre-arbitration Notice complies with the requirements in that subsection. All parties agree that arbitrations are of a “substantially similar nature” for purposes of these Mass Filing Procedures if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.
You and the Company agree that application of the following Mass Filing Procedures have been reasonably designed to result in an efficient and fair adjudication of such cases, and agree to act in good faith to ensure that they are followed:
Stage One: Counsel for the claimants and counsel for the Company shall each select up to 25 Demands for Arbitration per side (up to 50 Demands for Arbitration total) to proceed in arbitration as part of Stage One. For the Demands for Arbitration selected for Stage One, NAM shall (i) provide for their resolution as a single, consolidated arbitration by one arbitrator, and with one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) and one final award, and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administration fee for each side with respect to the fees set forth in NAM’s mass filing fee schedule then in effect. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Any remaining Demands for Arbitration that are or could be included in the Mass Filing shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Demands for Arbitration, unless and until they are selected to be filed as part of a staged process. After the Demands for Arbitration selected for Stage One are resolved, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a retired federal or state court judge.
Stage Two: If the Mass Filing is not resolved in Stage One, counsel for the claimants and counsel for the Company shall each select up to 50 additional Demands for Arbitration per side (up to 100 Demands for Arbitration total) to proceed in arbitration as part of Stage Two, subject to any procedural changes the parties agreed to in writing. For the Demands for Arbitration selected for Stage Two, NAM shall (i) provide for their resolution as a single, consolidated arbitration by one arbitrator, and with one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any), and one final award, and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administration fee for each side with respect to the fees set forth in NAM’s mass filing fee schedule then in effect. The Demands for Arbitration selected for Stage Two shall be assigned to a different arbitrator than the arbitrator for Stage One, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Any remaining Demands for Arbitration that are or could be included in the Mass Filing shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Demands for Arbitration unless and until they are selected to be filed and proceed as part of a staged process. After the Demands for Arbitration selected for Stage Two are resolved, the parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a retired federal or state court judge.
If your Dispute is not resolved as part of the staged process identified above, either:
Option One: You and the Company may separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your Dispute heard in court consistent with this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of arbitration at this stage by notifying the Company via email at support@yescollabs.com. Your opt-out email must include a statement, personally signed by you, that you wish to opt out of arbitration, and must be sent within 30 days after the conclusion of the mediation associated with Stage 2. the Company may opt your Dispute out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of its intention to opt out to your counsel within 14 days after the expiration of your 30 day opt out period. Counsel for the parties may agree to adjust these deadlines.
OR
Option Two: If neither you nor the Company elect to have your Dispute heard in court consistent with Option One, then you agree that your Dispute will be resolved as part of continuing, staged individual arbitration proceedings as set forth below. Assuming the number of remaining Demands for Arbitration exceeds 100, then 100 Demands for Arbitration shall be randomly selected (or selected through a process agreed to by counsel for the parties) to be filed and to proceed in arbitration as part of a staged process. If the number of remaining Demands for Arbitration is fewer than 100, then all of those Demands for Arbitration shall be filed, or deemed filed, and proceed in arbitration. NAM shall (i) provide for resolution of these demands as a single, consolidated arbitration by one arbitrator, and with one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any), and one final award, and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administration fee for each side with respect to the fees set forth in NAM’s mass filing fee schedule then in effect. These demands shall be assigned to a different arbitrator than the arbitrators for Stage One and Stage Two, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. Any remaining Demands for Arbitration that are or could be included in the Mass Filing shall not be filed or be deemed filed in arbitration, nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Demands for Arbitration unless and until they are selected to be filed and proceed as part of a staged process. After this set of demands is adjudicated, settled, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved, this process shall repeat consistent with these parameters.
