8.Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER, IT MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

Agreement to Arbitrate. This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of the Terms is referred to in the Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.”

If you are accessing or using any Website or Service on behalf of a business, company, partnership, or other commercial entity, this Arbitration Agreement does not apply.

To the greatest extent permitted by law, you and Bel Fuse agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Bel Fuse, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof) or your use of the Website or the Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than by a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, including questions of arbitrability.

Jury Trial and Class Action Waivers. You and Bel Fuse agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Bel Fuse each waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Our disputes will be determined by a single, neutral arbitrator, not by a judge or a jury.

How to Opt Out. If you do not want to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement, you must notify Bel Fuse in writing by email to privacy@belf.com within 30 days of the date you first agree to the Terms, stating that you do not want to resolve disputes with Bel Fuse by arbitration.

Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by one neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”) in effect on the date the demand for arbitration or other document initiating the arbitration is filed with JAMS, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on JAMS and the JAMS Rules, please visit its website, https://www.jamsadr.com. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the JAMS Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement.

Unless Bel Fuse and you agree otherwise in writing, any arbitration hearing will take place in the JAMS office closest to your residence. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by the arbitrator appointed by JAMS. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Bel Fuse agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on written submissions and documents submitted to the arbitrator or whether there also will be a hearing, and you may choose whether any such hearing will be by telephone or video conference or by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules.

At the end of the arbitration, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision (called an award) sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Requirement of Individualized Arbitration and Relief. You and Bel Fuse agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Except for “mass arbitrations” described below, unless both you and Bel Fuse agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief for that party’s individual claims. Any relief awarded cannot be granted to or affect other users.

Mass Arbitrations. If 25 or more individuals submit similar arbitration claims and are represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination, you and Bel Fuse agree that the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines will apply. The JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines are specially designed to facilitate the fair, expeditious, and efficient resolution of mass arbitrations; they are published at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures.

For any mass arbitration, JAMS will appoint a “process administrator” who will determine all preliminary and administrative matters as may be necessary to ensure the orderly and efficient resolution of the claims. This will include determining, among other issues, whether each party has met the applicable filing requirements and conditions precedent to submit their claims to arbitration, and which demands for arbitration should be included as part of the mass arbitration proceeding.

All arbitration demands included as part of the mass arbitration proceeding must be resolved in stages. You agree to this process even though it may delay the arbitration of your claim. In the first stage, claimants’ counsel and Bel Fuse will each select 25 cases (50 cases total) to be resolved individually by different arbitrators. In the meantime, no other cases may proceed in arbitration, and JAMS must not charge a case management fee or an arbitration appointment fee for those cases.

After this first stage of cases is completed, the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases, and Bel Fuse will pay the mediation fee. If the parties cannot resolve the remaining cases after mediation, you and Bel Fuse agree that the process administrator will batch, consolidate, or otherwise group any remaining arbitration demands to the greatest extent possible.

Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the JAMS Arbitration Schedule of Fees and Costs in effect when the arbitration is started, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Where the arbitration is part of a mass arbitration subject to the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, the arbitration fees will be as established in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule.

Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall affect any non-waivable statutory rights that apply to you. To the extent any claim, dispute, or controversy covered by the Terms is not arbitrable under applicable laws or otherwise, you agree such claim or dispute will be resolved exclusively in accordance with the subsection of these Terms titled “Governing Law” above.

Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Bel Fuse agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject any such change by sending Bel Fuse written notice to, Attention of the General Counsel 300 Executive Drive, Suite 300 West Orange, NJ 07052, United States within thirty 30 calendar days of the date on which the revised Terms are published on the Website. By rejecting any future change, you agree that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accessed the Website under these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

9.Termination

Bel Fuse reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Website at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. Your rights under the Terms will terminate automatically without notice from Bel Fuse if you fail to comply with any term(s).
