To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DonkeyApp LLC, along with our affiliates and licensors, disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, satisfactory quality, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment, as well as any warranties arising from course of dealing or trade usage.

Dispute Resolution for DonkeyApp

Mandatory Arbitration:

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of DonkeyApp Services (a “Dispute”) will be resolved through final and binding arbitration. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation or within 30 days of any updates to these arbitration terms by contacting us directly. If you opt out after an update, the last agreed-upon arbitration terms will apply.

Informal Dispute Resolution:

Before initiating formal legal action, both parties agree to attempt to resolve Disputes informally. You can notify us of your concerns, and we will contact you via your registered email address. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days, either party may initiate arbitration. A statute of limitations will be tolled during this period.

Arbitration Forum and Procedures:

If informal resolution fails, arbitration will commence under National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) rules. DonkeyApp will not seek attorneys’ fees in arbitration unless your claim is deemed frivolous. The Federal Arbitration Act governs these arbitration terms. The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference, or in person if necessary, and will be overseen by a sole arbitrator.

Exceptions:

This section does not require informal resolution or arbitration for individual small claims court cases or for seeking injunctive relief against unauthorized use or abuse of DonkeyApp Services or intellectual property issues.

Class and Jury Trial Waivers:

Disputes must be brought individually and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative proceedings. Class arbitrations, class actions, and representative actions are not allowed. Only individual relief is available. Any request for public injunctive relief will be litigated in court after arbitration of the underlying claim. Both parties waive the right to a jury trial in any related action.

Batch Arbitration:

If multiple similar arbitration demands are filed, they may be administered in batches by NAM. Each batch will be treated as a single consolidated arbitration.

Severability:

If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will still be effective. If any finding makes class or representative actions possible, the entire dispute resolution section will become unenforceable.
