In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Credique LLC in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Credique LLC agree that every dispute arising in connection with the Agreement will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, extra-contractual liability, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of the Agreement. The arbitrator also has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT, YOU AND CREDIQUE LLC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Despite the provisions of Section 21, you and us both agree that nothing in the Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude or otherwise limit the right of either of us to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court within its jurisdictional limits; (b) file a complaint with the applicable federal, provincial, territorial, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file a suit in a court of law solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of our Services or address an intellectual property infringement claim.
All disputes arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or in respect of any legal relationship associated with or derived from this agreement, will be finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (the “ADR Rules”), except as otherwise set out in this Agreement. The language of the arbitration will be English.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other by certified mail ("Notice"). Credique LLC’s address for Notice is: Credique LLC, 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #92818, West Hollywood, California, 90069-4100 USA, Attention: Legal Department. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). You and Credique LLC agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if you and Credique LLC do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Credique LLC must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. The arbitration proceedings, including any exchanged materials, shall be confidential and you and Credique LLC agree to use reasonable efforts to streamline the proceedings, including discovery, consistent with the objectives of efficient dispute resolution.
If you commence arbitration in accordance with the Agreement, Credique LLC will reimburse you for your payment of the commencement fee, unless your claim is for more than ten thousand Canadian dollars ($10,000), in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the ADR Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California, but if the claim is for $10,000 Canadian dollars or less, or as otherwise required, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the ADR Rules in the jurisdiction of your registered account address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the ADR Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Credique LLC for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the ADR Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
YOU AND CREDIQUE LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
Further, unless both you and Credique LLC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
If Credique LLC makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Credique LLC’s address for Notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Credique LLC's address for Notice, in which case your account with Credique LLC will be immediately terminated.

We may offer access to your credit report and other credit information through one or more of the Services. Neither we nor the Providers are credit repair organizations, and neither we nor the Providers are offering to sell, provide, or perform any service to you for the express or implied purpose of either improving your credit record, credit history, or credit rating or providing advice or assistance to you with regard to improving your credit record, credit history, or credit rating. You acknowledge and agree that you are not seeking to purchase, use, or access any of the credit reports, the Sites, or the Services in order to do so. Accurate adverse information in your credit report cannot be changed. If you believe that your credit report contains inaccurate, non-fraudulent information, it is your responsibility to contact the relevant Repository, and follow the appropriate procedures for notifying the Repository that you believe your credit report contains an inaccuracy. Any information provided to you regarding the procedures followed by the various Repositories related to the removal of inaccurate, non-fraudulent information is available for free.
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us relating to the Sites and the Services and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Sites and the Services and any other subject matter covered by these Terms and Conditions. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right under or provision of these Terms and Conditions will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms and Conditions will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign these Terms and Conditions or any of your rights or obligations under the Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions may be assigned by us and will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, and licensees. The section titles and headings in these Terms and Conditions are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. All of the Company's Providers are third-party beneficiaries with respect to the provisions in these Terms and Conditions that reference them. All provisions in these Terms and Conditions that by their nature would survive termination or expiration of your access to the Sites or the Services subscription (including but not limited to those related to limits on our and our Providers' liability, your liability to us and our Providers, investigations, applicable law and venue, and our right to remove and discard your content from the Services) will survive such termination or expiration. In the event of cancelation, termination, or cessation for any reason of your membership in any of the Services, the introductory paragraph of this Agreement, sections 1-4, and 16-25 of these Terms and Conditions will survive. In the event of a conflict between any other notice, policy, disclaimer, or other term contained in this website, these Terms and Conditions will control. If any provision is deemed to be unlawful or unenforceable, it will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
