ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

Dispute Resolution. You may contact us at info@shfinancial.org to address concerns about our Website. Safe Harbor Financial is able to resolve most concerns promptly. You and Safe Harbor Financial agree to use best efforts through this internal dispute resolution process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations, which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution under the initial dispute resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration, as discussed below, as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Any claim that you might have against Safe Harbor Financial must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association and must be brought within one (1) year of the claim arising.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Safe Harbor Financial AND YOU EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, DOMAINS, LOGOS, TRADE DRESS, TRADE SECRETS, AND PATENTS). Such disputes include but not limited to those relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, which is typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. Safe Harbor Financial and you agree not to combine a dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Agreement with a dispute that is not eligible for arbitration under this Agreement.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth herein.

Required Use of AAA. You agree that the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is started, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection (together, the "AAA Rules"). The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The AAA Rules, information regarding initiating a dispute, and a description of the arbitration process are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator will decide whether a dispute can be arbitrated. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.

Time Limit to Start Arbitration. We and you agree that for any dispute (except intellectual property disputes) must commence an arbitration proceeding or permitted court action within one year after the dispute first arose; otherwise, such dispute is permanently barred. This means that if we or you do not commence such a proceeding within one year after the dispute first arose, all claims will be dismissed as untimely.

Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Safe Harbor Financial.
