To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, D9 Greek Life LLC (collectively with our affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of our and their respective officers, directors, agents, co-branders, licensors, payment processing partners, vendors, other partners, independent contractors, and employees) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision
Agreement to Arbitrate
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the D9GreekLife.org platform or our services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these terms or any part thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in [Your State], before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Arbitration Procedures
- Initiation: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required) or, only if the other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). D9 Greek Life LLC’s address for Notice is: [Your Address Here]. The Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims and the specific relief sought.
- Fees: Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
- Authority of Arbitrator: The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator will 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 the parties.
Class Action Waiver
You and D9 Greek Life LLC agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action. You expressly waive your right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Opt-Out Procedure
You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“opt out”) by sending us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) to [Your Address Here] or via email to [email protected] within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms. If you do not opt out within this thirty (30)-day period, you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, D9 Greek Life LLC also will not be bound by them.
Severability
If any part of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
By using the D9GreekLife.org platform and our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision. If you do not agree to these terms, please discontinue your use of our platform and services immediately.
