ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator who shall be an expert in information technology design and accessibility as they relate to websites and mobile acts as determined by the AAA.

Arbitration shall be by the presentation of documents to the arbitrator in such order and at such times as the arbitrator may determine. The arbitrator may convene one or more telephone conferences in the arbitrator’s sole discretion, but there shall be no in-person hearings or presentations.

Except for claims under federal law, the arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its choice of law rules; provided, however, that no individual claimant shall be deemed to have waived their rights under any consumer protection or disability rights law of the state or city of their residence if such law forbids such waiver.

No discovery shall be permitted except as follows:

  1. The Claimant shall submit to the other Parties and arbitrator, no less than 90 days before the case is submitted for decision:
    1. A report or reports of Claimant’s expert(s) complying with the requirements of Rule 26(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
    2. A written statement under penalty of perjury from the Claimant that includes the following information:
      1. The full name and residence address of the Claimant.
      2. The date and time of every effort by Claimant to access or use the Website. This list is limited to efforts by the Claimant and excludes efforts by any agent or attorney of the Claimant.
      3. A detailed list of alleged barriers to access in the Website including the web page on which the barrier was encountered and the effect of the alleged barrier on the claimant’s ability to use and enjoy the Website.
      4. A list including the case name, court, and docket number for every lawsuit or arbitration concerning the accessibility of websites or mobile apps to which Claimant is a party.
      5. A list of parties against whom Claimant has made a demand concerning the accessibility of a website or mobile app that is not included in the preceding list.
      6. If the Claimant asserts Claimant was seeking to obtain goods or services from the Website, a description of the goods and services sought.
  2. No less than forty-five (45) days before the case is submitted for decision, the Owner, Operator, or other responding party shall submit to the Claimant and arbitrator:
    1. A report or reports of its expert(s) complying with the requirements of Rule 26(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and
    2. A written statement under penalty of perjury from an appropriate officer or agent of the responding party that includes any rebuttal with respect to the Claimant’s declaration not included in the responding party’s expert report.

The arbitration will be based on the submission of the documents listed above and any brief or legal argument the parties submit subject to any limitations or requirements of the arbitrator.

With respect to any claim that the Website is not accessible to an individual with a disability, the arbitrator may find in favor of the Claimant only if the arbitrator finds that the Claimant was denied meaningful access to the goods or services offered by Website unless the arbitrator finds that a different standard is required by a particular law.

The arbitrator will have no authority to award damages of any kind not specifically provided for in the statute or statutes under which the claim is made. In no event shall the arbitrator have authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this section. The arbitrator may allocate the costs of the arbitration process among the parties in the arbitrator’s sole discretion, but will only have the authority to allocate attorneys’ fees if a particular law permits them to do so. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief,  but such relief is limited to the correction or remediation of specific access barriers that denied Claimant meaningful access. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion if requested by any Party, but the Party requesting such opinion shall pay any fees associated with that opinion notwithstanding any other division of fees and expenses awarded by the arbitrator. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, evidence provided, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all Parties.
