Resolution of Disputes.
‍
You and Atlas agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that may arise between us relating in any way to this UA or your use of or access to the Site or related Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Resolution of Disputes Section. Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

Applicable Law: 

‍This UA is governed by the laws of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law provisions, and any controlling United States federal law. If any provision is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.  Specifically, you agree that any disputes shall be heard, where eligible, solely within the Civil Court of the City of Durham—Small Claims Part (“Small Claims Court”).
‍
You agree that where the amount you would otherwise claim exceeds the monetary jurisdiction of the Small Claims Court, which at the time of the publication of this UA is up to $5,000, you will waive your right to collect any damages in excess of the monetary jurisdiction and instead only sue us for the maximum amount of $5,000.
‍
Likewise, if you have multiple causes of action, you agree that if your claim would be eligible to be heard by the Small Claims Court, except that one or more of the causes of action or other rights to collect damages would not be eligible for the Small Claims Court to hear, you will waive your right to claim damages for any of the ineligible claims and instead still bring the dispute in the Small Claims Court for only the claim or claims over which the Small Claims Court has jurisdiction to hear.
‍
Likewise, if you would otherwise have any non-monetary remedies available to you outside of the Small Claims Court, such as the right to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, you agree that you will waive your right to obtain such relief against us. If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.
‍
You agree that the prevailing party in any dispute will be entitled to claim from the unsuccessful party the entire amount of the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements in relation to the dispute.
‍
Agreement to Arbitrate.

If you reside in the United States, subject to the Exceptions to Arbitration set forth below, you and Atlas each agree that any and all disputes between Users of the Site and Atlas arising under or related in any way to the UA and such Users' use of the Site must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. With the exception of the prohibition on class arbitrations set forth in this "Resolution of Disputes" section, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate will still apply.
‍
Exceptions to Arbitration.

This Agreement to Arbitrate will not apply to the following: (a) small claims court cases that qualify; (b) legal proceedings that involve efforts to obtain user-identifying information; (c) any legal proceedings brought against any of the Atlas and Its Affiliates by companies or other legal entities; or individuals acting on behalf of such companies or other legal entities; (d) any legal proceedings brought by any of Atlas and Its Affiliates against companies or other legal entities or individuals acting on behalf of any such companies or other legal entities; and (e) a party's 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. If, for some reason, the prohibition on class arbitrations set forth in this Resolution of Disputes section cannot be enforced, then the entirety of this UA to Arbitrate will not apply. Where this UA to Arbitrate does not apply, the remainder of this UA and the Resolution of Disputes section will continue to apply.
Informal Dispute Resolution. If either of us intends to seek arbitration under the agreement, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating arbitration. Notice to Atlas should be sent to the Veteran Capital, LLC at 201 W Main Street, Suite B02, Durham, NC 27701. If you have an account on Atlas, notice to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account. The notice of dispute ("Notice") must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought.  If Atlas and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Atlas may commence formal proceedings.
‍
Arbitration Procedure.

The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), if applicable, as modified by this section. The AAA's rules and a form for initiating the proceeding are available at www.adr.org. Any settlement offer made by you or Atlas shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. Unless otherwise required by the applicable arbitration rules, the arbitration shall be held in Durham, North Carolina. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, you and Atlas may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Atlas subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you or Atlas may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Atlas User to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Opt-Out Procedure.

IF YOU ARE A NEW ATLAS USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("OPT-OUT") BY MAILING US A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE ("OPT-OUT NOTICE"). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE ATLAS TERMS OF USE FOR THIS FIRST TIME. YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE TO ATLAS , RE: OPT-OUT NOTICE, 201 W Main Street, Suite B02, Durham, NC 27701.
‍
You must send notice to Opt-Out by providing the information including your name, address (including street address, city, state and zip code), and the email address(es) associated with the Atlas account to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of this UA to Arbitrate. If you opt out of the UA to Arbitrate, all other parties to this UA and this Resolution of Disputes section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
‍
Changes to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this UA to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any changes to this "Arbitration" section (other than a change to any referenced notice address or site link) in the future, that change will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding prior to the effective date of the change. The change will apply to all other disputes or claims governed by this Arbitration section that have arisen or may arise between you and Atlas. We will notify you of changes to this Arbitration section by posting the changes on Atlas at least 30 days before the effective date of the changes and by email. If you do not agree to these changed terms, you may close your account within the 30 day period and you will not be bound by the changes.

Any attempted assignment by you shall violate this UA and be void. The section titles in the UA are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect; as used in the UA, the word "including" means "including but not limited to."
