4. DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY: BINDING ARBITRATION

MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION BY CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. TO CONTACT GENESIS HOUSE CUSTOMER SERVICE, PLEASE EMAIL info@genesishousenyc.com. IF YOUR CONCERN RELATES TO A VEHICLE OR DEALERSHIP ISSUE, OR IF GENESIS HOUSE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNABLE TO ASSIST YOU, YOU CAN REACH GENESIS MOTOR AMERICA’S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT customercare@genesismotorsusa.com, OR CALLING (844) 340-9741. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THE GENESIS HOUSE AND GENESIS MOTOR AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. GENESIS WILL PAY ALL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE ARBITRATOR, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS OR BROUGHT IN BAD FAITH. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND GENESIS WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS’ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD BE IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) Genesis and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement, use of the Site (including any mobile site or app), or products, services, or programs you purchase, enroll in or seek product/service support for, except for any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, any dispute between us relating to copyrights or other intellectual property (as set forth in Section 5 below) shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate. For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including claims seeking injunctive and/or other relief, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to:

(i) claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;

(ii) claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);

(iii) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class;

(iv) claims relating to your vehicle for which you seek product or service support via the Site;

(v) claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act;

(vi) claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and

(vii) claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “Genesis,” “you,” and “us” shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services, products or information provided or made available under this or prior Agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Genesis are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or your relationship with Genesis for any reason.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Genesis should be addressed to: Customer Care, Genesis Motor America, Legal Department, 10550 Talbert Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA 92728-0850 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from Genesis (“Demand'”). If Genesis and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Genesis may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Genesis or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Genesis is entitled. In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California. Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding. The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary).

You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org.

(c) After Genesis receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee. The filing fee currently is $200, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision as well as the Agreement’s other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this arbitration provision or Agreement is void or voidable. However, if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether this Agreement permits class proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. Unless Genesis and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of your state, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing or registered address. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Genesis will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Genesis for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

(d) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(e) YOU AND GENESIS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced. Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Genesis makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) after your enrollment in a service or program or your use of the Site, you may reject any such change and require Genesis to adhere to the language in this arbitration provision as written at the time of your enrollment or purchase if a dispute between us arises, by providing Notice to Genesis at the Notice Address in subsection (b) above.

16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Headings are for convenience only, and are not intended to in any way confine, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section.

(b) No Waiver. No waiver by Genesis of any breach of these TOU by you shall constitute a waiver of this or any other provision of these TOU or alter or limit our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

(c) Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use and the materials incorporated by reference herein, including the Genesis Motor America Privacy Policy, form the entire understanding and agreement between you and Genesis with respect to your use of the site and the products and services offered hereunder, and may be modified only in accordance with the procedures specified herein.

This provision and the terms set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement for Dispute Resolution shall survive termination of your relationship with Genesis, or termination of the Agreement.
