If you or BP brings a claim in small claims court, the class action waiver will apply, and neither of us can bring a claim on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, neither you nor BP may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts claims that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or BP. Both parties agree that this class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and that if this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court or arbitrator then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 22 will not apply to any claim or dispute between you and BP, except for the provisions waiving the right to jury trial. This class action waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.  
   
Arbitrator Authority: The arbitration between you and BP will be binding. In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury. Instead, our disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by these Terms. You and BP agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to these Terms. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so, and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the applicable law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with BP. Review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited.  
   
Arbitration Procedures: You and BP agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act applies. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA's rules are available on its website at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA's rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to BP via U.S. mail to 30 S. Wacker Drive, Ste. 900, Chicago, IL 60606. You must also comply with the AAA's rules regarding initiation of arbitration. BP will pay all filing fees and costs for commencement of an arbitration, but you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator pursuant to these Terms or applicable law. BP will not seek to recover its fees and costs from you in the arbitration, even if allowed under the law, unless your claim has been determined to be frivolous. If you are successful in the arbitration, BP will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitration will be held in a mutually convenient location.  
   
Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver Where Arbitration Does Not Apply: If for any reason this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, inapplicable, or if you opt out of this dispute resolution agreement, you and BP expressly and knowingly WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This means that a judge rather than a jury will decide disputes between you and BP if, for any reason, the arbitration agreement is not enforced.  You further agree that in any claims or disputes between you and BP there will be no class, representative, or consolidated actions and neither you nor BP may participate in a class or representative action as a class member. 
   
Survival: This dispute resolution provision survives the termination of these Terms with BP. If you bring a claim against BP after termination of these Terms that is based in whole or in part on events, act or omissions that occurred while you were a BP customer, this dispute resolution provision shall apply.  
   
You understand that the terms of any agreement between you and the Payment Card issuer will continue to apply to your use of such Payment Card through earnify.

 

23. Assignment

Except as expressly set forth herein, you may not sell, assign or transfer any Service or other benefit you receive, any other aspect of your earnify or the Service account, or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise. We may sell, transfer, or assign the earnify or the Service account, in whole or in part, at any time, without notice to you. If we make such an assignment, the sole responsibility for the matters assigned, including any obligations to you, will lie with the party to which we make the assignment, and we will be released from any responsibilities or obligations.

 

24. Entire Agreement and Statement of Non-Reliance

These Terms together with any other terms and conditions, policies or agreements referenced herein, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof. You also expressly acknowledge and agree that you are not entitled to rely upon, and have not relied upon, any representation or warranty by BP that is not expressly stated in these Terms.
