Dispute Resolution Tiers
Small Claims: Disputes involving $5,000 or less may be filed in small claims court in Santa Clara County, California, at the filing party's option.
Arbitration: All other disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration under California arbitration law.
Arbitration Process
- Arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California
- Each party pays their own attorney fees unless otherwise awarded
- Arbitration decision is final and binding with limited appeal rights
Fair Fee Allocation System
Initiating Party Responsibility: The party initiating arbitration proceedings pays all arbitration and administrative fees upfront to demonstrate good faith and prevent frivolous claims.
Fee Recovery for Legitimate Claims: If the initiating party substantially prevails (wins 75% or more of their claim), they may recover their arbitration fees from the losing party. This ensures legitimate disputes aren't financially penalized while deterring bad faith actions.
Anti-Abuse Protection
- Frivolous Claim Penalties: If a claim is deemed frivolous or brought in bad faith, the initiating party pays all costs including CodeWithAli's attorney fees
- Good Faith Requirement: All parties must engage in good faith dispute resolution and provide honest, complete information
- Escalating Consequences: Repeat frivolous filers may be barred from future arbitration and required to use courts
CodeWithAli Protection
If CodeWithAli is forced to initiate arbitration due to client non-payment or breach of contract, client agrees to reimburse all arbitration costs and attorney fees regardless of outcome, as these disputes arise from client's failure to meet contractual obligations.
Class Action Waiver
Client waives the right to participate in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against CodeWithAli. All disputes must be brought individually. This arbitration clause survives termination of our relationship.
Important Legal Notice: Please read this section carefully as it affects your legal rights and remedies.
