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. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS (“formerly “Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services” )  Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate , the rules set forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate will govern. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. To initiate arbitration, you or MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) must do the following things:

Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com.
Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to your local JAMS office.Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules, except that for claims of less than USD$1,000.00 (One thousand dollars) MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) will pay administrative costs and fees provided, however, if MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) prevails you will reimburse us for all such administrative costs and fees. Arbitration under this agreement shall be held in the United States county in New York City and subject to , New York State Laws. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR: The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”), and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”).

NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us  MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) and DOUGLAS ELLIMAN Brokerage Company, on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: 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 MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) and DOUGLAS ELLIMAN Brokerage Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND MARCIA KOUTELLOS (“MARCIA KOUTELLOS, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson”) and DOUGLAS ELLIMAN Brokerage Company WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
