A description of the dispute
Your desired resolution

We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 60 days. If unresolved, either party may initiate arbitration or (where permitted) litigation.

17.2 Binding Arbitration Agreement

You and Roomie agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except:

Small claims court actions (if eligible)
Disputes related to intellectual property rights
Injunctive relief for violations of these Terms

By agreeing to arbitration, you waive your right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action.

Arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator
The arbitrator's decision is final and binding
The arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court
Arbitration may be conducted remotely (phone, video) or in-person

Each party is responsible for their own attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator awards them

Participate in a class action lawsuit
Act as a class representative or member
Bring claims on behalf of others

The arbitrator may not consolidate multiple persons' claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration agreement in Section 17.2 will not apply, and Disputes will be resolved in court.

The following Disputes are not subject to arbitration:

Claims filed in small claims court (if eligible under small claims rules)
Claims seeking injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement or Terms violations
Claims that cannot be arbitrated under applicable law

Include your name, email, username, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Notice must be sent within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (e.g., creating your account). If you opt out, all other Terms still apply, but Disputes will be resolved in court.

17.7 Severability

If any part of this arbitration agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remainder will continue to apply, except that if the class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement will not apply.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, constitute the entire agreement between you and Roomie regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
