16. Agreement to Arbitrate
Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving disputes between You and Bill.com in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, You and Bill.com agree that every dispute between You and Bill.com arising in connection with this Agreement will be 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. The Agreement to Arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. BY ENTERING IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND BILL.COM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Waiver of Class Actions and Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You acknowledge and agree that You may bring claims against Bill.com only in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND/OR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
Procedures. Any arbitration between You and Bill.com will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.
Notice. If You intend to seek arbitration, You must first send a written notice (“Notice”) of Your claim or dispute to Bill.com by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required). Bill.com's address for Notice is Bill.com’s address of record as listed on the Bill.com website - ATTN: LEGAL. The Notice must describe: (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the remedy that You want (“Demand”). You and Bill.com agree to make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if You and Bill.com do not reach an agreement within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or Bill.com may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or Bill.com must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Fees. If You commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, the payment of fees related to the arbitration will be decided by the AAA Rules. If Your claim is less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), Bill.com will reimburse You for the payment of the filing fee. However, if 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)), You agree to reimburse Bill.com for any fees paid on Your behalf that would otherwise be Your obligation under the AAA Rules.
Location. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California. If Your claim is for $10,000 or less, 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 AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of Your billing address.
Severability. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this Agreement. If this Agreement to Arbitrate is found to be, in whole or in part, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect, and, where this Section 16 cannot be enforced, You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 16, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right to: (a) bring an individual (non-class, non-representative) action in small claims court so long as such action remains in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency, if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
17. Governing Law; Choice of Forum
Notwithstanding any different terms in the Bank Terms, this Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any and all disputes related to this Agreement, will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. To the extent that any dispute or action between You and Bill.com relating to this Agreement is permitted to be brought in a court of law, You agree that the legal action or proceeding will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California or the Northern District of California. Subject to the provisions of Section 16, You and Bill.com agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of and agree that venue is proper in those courts in any such legal action or proceeding. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.
18. Force Majeure
Bill.com will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation related to the Service if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events that are beyond Bill.com’s reasonable control, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, epidemic, or governmental action.

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement will be without prejudice to other remedies available under this Agreement or otherwise.
Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
Compliance with Laws. You and Bill.com each agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to the Service and Your use of the Service, including without limitation any export laws and regulations of the United States.
No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between You and Bill.com.
