25. RESOLVING OUR DISPUTES; AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE
Please read the following arbitration provision in this carefully. Unless you opt out in the manner described below, this arbitration provision requires you to arbitrate disputes with Robin and limits the manner in which you seek relief from us.
- You and Robin agree that any dispute that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to Your use of or access to the Robin Services, any validity, interpretation, breach, enforcement, or termination of this Terms, or otherwise relating to Robin in any way (collectively, “Covered Dispute Matters” or “Disputes”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 25.
- You and Robin agree that good faith, informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Robin therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this arbitration provision (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference” or “Conference”). If You are represented by counsel, Your counsel may participate in the conference, but You will also participate in the conference. The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate a Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.
- Notice to Robin that You intend to initiate a Conference should be sent by email to hello@joinrobin.co. The Notice must include: (1) Your name, phone number, mailing address, and the email address associated with Your User Account (if You have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of Your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of Your Dispute. The Conference shall be individualized such that a separate Conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Conference unless all parties agree.
- In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Conference, nothing in this arbitration provision shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Conference process required by this section.
- You and We agree that United States federal law including Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), and (to the extent not inconsistent with or pre-empted by federal law) the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of laws principles, will govern all Covered Dispute Matters, except as may be expressly provided in the Special Terms.
- You and We agree that this provision and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the FAA applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Any Covered Dispute Matter must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (including utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel) available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.
- A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, email address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable User Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Information Dispute Resolution process as above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.
- If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.
- The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators.
- If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection (s) is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
- Unless you and Robin otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection (s) below is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.
- You and We agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, international, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Terms, including any claim that all or any part of this Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration, except for the following: (1) all disputes arising out of or relating to subsection (aa) of this Section including any claim that all or part of that same subsection is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that that same subsection has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in subsection 9, all disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all disputes about which version of the arbitration provision applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
- You and We agree that for matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, the arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award.
- 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 Robin User to the extent required by applicable law. You and We agree that 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.
- Subject to this Arbitration provision, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection (s) entitled “Batch Arbitration.”
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Terms, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief ), You and Robin agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California. All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent You or Robin from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
- There are only two exceptions to this provision to arbitrate:
- First, if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Second, each party will retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the jurisdiction of such courts.
- You and We agree that payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this provision to arbitrate. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the dispute or the relief sought in the request for arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
- Batch Arbitration - To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, You and Robin agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual requests for arbitration of a substantially similar nature filed against Robin by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).
- All parties agree that requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by the disputing parties jointly.
- You and Robin agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.
- This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this subsection.
- Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms to the contrary, You and We agree that if We make any amendment to this Terms to arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Robin prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between You and Robin. If You do not agree to these amended terms, You may close Your User Account within thirty (30) days of the posting or notification and You will not be bound by the amended terms. Changes to this arbitration agreement do not provide You with a new opportunity to opt out of the arbitration agreement if You have previously agreed to a version of this agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration.
- Any arbitration instituted pursuant to these Terms shall be held in New York or such other place as the Parties may mutually agree, including via video conference.
- Unless You and We agree otherwise and except as described in Section 25(b), in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to You or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of Your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, or because You are an international user to which this agreement to arbitrate does not apply, You agree (except as otherwise provided by law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between You and Robin must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Los Angeles County, California. You and Robin agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
- If any part or parts of this Arbitration Provision are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in full force.
- YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF YOU ARE A NEW ROBIN USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE TERMS TO ARBITRATE PROVISION (“OPT-OUT”) BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO hello@joinrobin.co. (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN THIRTY-ONE (31) DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS TERMS FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW ROBIN USER, YOU HAVE UNTIL THIRTY-ONE (31) DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE NEW TERMS TO SUBMIT AN ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE.
26. ARBITRATION OPT-OUT PROCEDURE
In order to opt-out, within thirty-one (31) days after you accept the terms of this agreement for the first time, You must email Your legal name, mailing address (including street address, city, state, and zip code), email address(es) associated with Your Account(s) to which the opt-out applies, and an unaltered digital image of Your valid driver’s license to: hello@joinrobin.co. This procedure is the only way You can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If You opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Terms and this 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.
27. WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS
BY AGREEING TO THIS TERMS, YOU AND ROBIN HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU CANNOT SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES, EVEN IF ARBITRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THIS TERMS EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 9 OF THIS SECTION ABOVE. You and Robin are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this arbitration provision, except as specified in Section 25(s) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. This subsection does not prevent You or Robin from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
28. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR YOUR CLAIMS
You and Robin further agree that any Dispute that either has as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
29. NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN POLICY.

Robin will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of Users that are determined by Robin to be “repeat infringers.” A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified by Robin of infringing activity violations more than twice and/or who has had a User Content removed from the Robin Services more than twice. (Note that we reserve the right to terminate accounts for a single infringement as well pursuant to Section 10 above)
