  8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION


    1. Generally: Except as described in the “Exceptions” and “Opt-Out” sections below, you and ChargePoint agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Use, the Service, or communications from ChargePoint in connection with your use of the Service will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms of Use. Any dispute relating to the existence, formation, interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms of Use are unconscionable or illusory, in whole or in part, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

      YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND CHARGEPOINT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

    2. Exceptions: Although ChargePoint and you agree to arbitrate most disputes between such parties, nothing in these Terms of Use will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

    3. Opt-Out: If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this arbitration section within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms of Use by sending a letter to ChargePoint, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 254 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your Account, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once ChargePoint receives your Opt-Out Notice, this arbitration section will be void and any action arising out of these Terms of Use will be resolved as set forth in the “Governing Law” section, excluding “Forum.” The remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice. Opting out of this arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with ChargePoint.


    4. Arbitrator: This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between ChargePoint and you, are subject the Federal Arbitration Act. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement. Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively defined as “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Use. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.org, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting ChargePoint.

      In the event that 25 or more 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, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply. JAMS shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in 25 batches, with the discretion to create additional batches if JAMS finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single set of fees per batch for each side as set forth in JAMS’ Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitrations of any kind. ChargePoint reserves all rights and defenses as to each and any demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis without the application of this paragraph, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and ChargePoint shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate disputes.


      Payment of all filing, administrator, case management and arbitrator fees will be governed by the applicable JAMS Rules, including, where applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule.

    5. Commencing Arbitration: Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). ChargePoint’s address for Notice is: ChargePoint, Inc., 254 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and

      (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or ChargePoint may commence an arbitration proceeding. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.

    6. Arbitration Proceedings: Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or ChargePoint must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

    7. Arbitration Relief: Except as provided in the “No Class Actions” section below, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brough in a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

    8. No Class Actions: YOU AND CHARGEPOINT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE

      PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and ChargePoint agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    9. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision: If ChargePoint makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the date the change became effective as indicated by the “Last Updated” date above. The written notice must be sent by letter to ChargePoint, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 254 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 and specify: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Services, and a statement that you wish to reject the changes. By rejecting any change, you agree that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and ChargePoint in accordance with the provisions of this arbitration agreement as of the date you first agreed to the arbitration agreement (or to any subsequent changes to the arbitration agreement). By rejecting any change, your account with ChargePoint will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

    10. Enforceability and Severability: If the “No Class Actions” section or the entirety of this arbitration section is found to be unenforceable, or if ChargePoint receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, or if for any reason an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in “Governing Law” section will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use operate to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law. Except as otherwise provided in section, if any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

    11. Survival: This arbitration agreement shall survive any termination of your use of the Service or your relationship with ChargePoint.

  9. NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

    If You are a California resident, then under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, You may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N.
