Please see the Arbitration Agreement section at the bottom of these terms of service for further information.

Arbitration Agreement
(a) 
FMCSA Registration Gov LLC, and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:

  • Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;

  • Claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);

  • Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class and

  • Claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

For this Arbitration Agreement, references to "FMCSA Registration Gov LLC," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, employers, business partners, shareholders, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us. Beneficiaries include, but are not limited to, those named in an estate planning document.

Notwithstanding the preceding, either Party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. If the Law allows, such agencies can seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering these Terms, you and FMCSA Registration Gov LLC each waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce; thus, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of these Terms.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by US certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") to the other Party. A Notice to FMCSA Registration Gov LLC should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, General Counsel, FMCSA Registration Gov LLC fmcsaregistrationgov.com (the "Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If FMCSA Registration Gov LLC and you do not agree to resolve the claim within 30 days of receiving the Notice, you or FMCSA Registration Gov LLC may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by FMCSA Registration Gov LLC, or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or FMCSA Registration Gov LLC is entitled.

You may download or copy a form Notice by emailing us @ support@fmcsaregistrationgov.com
You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration from the Arbitration Agreement Association website at https://www.adr.org or email at CustomerService@adr.org

(c) After FMCSA Registration Gov LLC receives Notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee unless your claim is for more than $75,000. (Currently, the filing fee for consumer-initiated arbitrations is $200, which is subject to change by the arbitration provider. If you cannot pay this fee, FMCSA Registration Gov LLC will pay it directly after receiving a written request at the Notice Address.) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the Arbitration Agreement, as modified by these Terms, for all claims under $75,000, and the applicable rules as determined by the AAA for all claims of or above $75,000 and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.arbitrationagreement.org or by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879. (You may obtain information about the arbitration process directed to non-lawyers, including information about providing Notice to FMCSA Registration Gov LLC, at support@fmcsaregistrationgov.com) These Terms bind the arbitrator.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision, and the scope, enforceability, and understanding of paragraph (f) are for the court to decide. Unless FMCSA Registration Gov LLC and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will occur in the county (or parish) of your contact address. Suppose your claim is for $10,000 or less. In that case, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing established by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed in person or by telephone, we may respond only by telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a hearing. The parties agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither Party will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of Law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which FMCSA Registration Gov LLC was a party. FMCSA Registration Gov LLC will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated by the notice requirements above except as otherwise provided. If, however, 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 outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse FMCSA Registration Gov LLC for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek relief valued at more than $75,000 (excluding attorney's fees and expenses), the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

(d) For claims under $75,000, if, after finding in your favor in any respect on the merits of your claim, the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of FMCSA Registration Gov LLC's last written settlement offer made before selecting an arbitrator, then FMCSA Registration Gov LLC will:

  • Pay you either the amount of the award or $2,000 ("the alternative payment"), whichever is greater, and

  • Pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorney's fees, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration (the "attorney's payment").

Suppose FMCSA Registration Gov LLC did not make a written offer to settle the dispute before selecting an arbitrator. In that case, you and your attorney are entitled to receive the alternative payment and the attorney's fees, respectively, if the arbitrator awards you any relief on the merits. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes regarding the payment and reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney's fees at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either Party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits. In assessing whether an award that includes attorney's fees or expenses is greater than the value of FMCSA Registration Gov LLC's last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall have in his or her calculations only the value of any attorney's fees or expenses you reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration proceeding before FMCSA Registration Gov LLC's settlement offer.

(e) The right to attorney's fees and expenses discussed in paragraph (d) supplements any right to attorney's fees and costs you may have under applicable Law. Thus, if you would be entitled to a more significant amount under applicable Law, this provision does not preclude the arbitrator from awarding you that amount. However, you may not recover duplicative awards of attorney's fees or costs. Although under some laws, FMCSA Registration Gov LLC may have a right to an award of attorney's fees and expenses if it prevails in an arbitration proceeding, FMCSA Registration Gov LLC will not seek such an award for claims under $75,000.

(f) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual Party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party's claim. YOU AND FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, suppose you and FMCSA Registration Gov LLC agree otherwise. In that case, the arbitrator may consolidate up to one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor we may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable Law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

(g) If the amount in dispute exceeds $75,000 or either Party seeks any form of injunctive relief, either Party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by AAA by a written notice of appeal within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of the written arbitration award. An award of injunctive relief shall have stayed during any such appeal. The members of the three-arbitrator panel will be selected according to AAA rules. The three-arbitrator panel will issue its decision within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the appealing Party's Notice of Appeal date. The decision of the three-arbitrator panel shall be final and binding, subject to any right of judicial review that exists under the AAA.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision in the applicable Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to any notice address, website link, or telephone number provided herein), that change will not apply to any dispute of which we had written Notice on the effective date of the change. Moreover, we seek to terminate this arbitration provision. In that case, any such termination will only be effective at least thirty (30) days after written Notice of such termination is provided to you. It shall not be effective as to disputes that arose before the termination date.

This Agreement usurps all prior agreements, negotiations, representations, warranties, and written and oral communications. These Terms overrule any of the general terms and conditions of purchase regardless of whether the Customer has tendered its purchase order or such terms.

FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC may utilize outside contractors, subcontractors, contract consultants, representatives, or agents to perform the Services at FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC's sole discretion. FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC may occasionally change the Services identified in the Order Form without the Customer's concurrence, given that such changes do not materially affect the nature or scope of the Services, the fees, or any performance dates agreed upon.

  2. Software. Part of the Services provided to the Customer under the Order Form may be access to the FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC Company software or any other FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC software, mobile software applications, or other software services (collectively "Software"). The Customer is accountable for compliance with, and will be obligated to, any further or pertinent terms, conditions, and end user license agreement ("EULA") for the applicable Software, which will be identified in the Order Form. Suppose there is a conflict between this Agreement and any Terms and Conditions of Use or EULA for any Software provided in the Order Form. In that case, the terms of the Order Form will apply first. The Terms and Conditions of Use and EULA will apply next.

Except for "Pre-Existing Materials," the Customer shall be the only exclusive owner of all interests, rights, and titles in and to the Deliverables, including all intellectual property rights.

THE PRECEDING LIMITATION APPLIES NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

  6. Indemnification. 

    1. Customer Indemnification. Customer shall be solely liable for and expressly agree to defend, indemnify, and hold FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC and its subcontractors and affiliates harmless. Each of its and their respective employees, agents, successors, and assigns ("FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC Indemnitee") from and against any liability, claims, loss, damage, costs, expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs ("Losses") arising out of any third-party claim to the extent the Losses occur out of a Customer's wrongful acts, omissions, violations of all applicable laws, statutes, or regulations, or failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, or Customer's or any other party's reliance upon any Customer provided data or information, or errors or inaccuracies in any deliverable provided by FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC (including its employees, contractors, subcontractors, contract consultants, representatives and agents) if such errors or inaccuracies are solely due to the Customer provided information.

    2. FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC Indemnification. FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer from and against any and all Losses incurred by Customer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns ("Customer Indemnitee") to the extent that such Losses arise from (i) errors or inaccuracies in any deliverable provided by FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC (including its employees, contractors, subcontractors, contract consultants, representatives, and agents) unless such mistakes or inaccuracies are due to: (1) Customer provided information or, (2) information provided to FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC by third parties or government agencies; or ii) any gross negligence of FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC wherein such gross negligence results in (1) impairment, inability to use or loss, interruption or delay of the Services outside of the Service Levels provided in Section 7.1 of the EULA solely due to such gross negligence, or (2) loss, damage, corruption or recovery of data, or breach of data or system security solely due to such gross negligence. The defense and indemnification obligations under this Section 6.2 are expressly limited in the amount of monetary liability that FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC will provide and incur for both its defense and indemnification obligations (in aggregate) by the amount outlined in the Cap on Monetary Liability provision in the laws that govern the transaction.

    3. Indemnification Procedure. Each Party shall immediately notify each other in writing identifying the action for which such Party believes it is entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as the case may be. The Party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnitee ") shall cooperate with the other Party (the "Indemnitor ") at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor may assume, at its sole option, control of the defense and investigation of such action and shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same at the Indemnitor's sole cost and expense. If the Indemnitor decides not to take control of the defense, it will provide prompt written notice to the Indemnitee. Suppose the Indemnitee assumes control of the defense after the Indemnitor provides written notice that it will not control the defense. In that case, the Indemnitor will reimburse the Indemnitee promptly and periodically for the reasonable costs incurred adequately in defending against the indemnified claim (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and remain responsible to the Indemnitee for any Losses reimbursed. The Indemnitee's failure to perform any obligations under this Section 6 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under Section 6 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced due to such failure. If the Indemnitor controls the defense, the Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its choosing. 

  7. Force Majeure.

    1. No Breach or Default. In no event will FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC be liable or responsible to Customer, or be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC's reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"), including acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake or explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement, national or regional emergency, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, the passage of Law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo, export or import restriction, quota or other restriction or prohibition or any complete or partial government shutdown, or national or regional shortage of adequate power or telecommunications or transportation. FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC may terminate this Agreement if a Force Majeure Event continues substantially uninterrupted for 30 days or more.

    2. Affected Obligations. In the event of any failure or delay caused by a Force Majeure Event, FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC shall give prompt written notice to Customer stating the period the occurrence is expected to continue and use commercially reasonable/diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and minimize the effects of such Force Majeure Event.

  8. Miscellaneous.

    1. Non-Disclosure/Proprietary/Confidential Information. Except as expressly permitted in writing or as     required to perform the Services or as permitted under the EULA, neither of the Parties will disclose to any third person any unpublished information or knowledge it acquires about the other Party's business, products, employees, or methods unless Law requires such disclosure. 

    2. Relationship of the Parties. Each Party to this Agreement shall be an independent contractor and not an agent, employee, servant, or representative of the other Party. Accordingly, the employee(s) of one Party shall not be considered the employee(s) of the other Party. Neither Party shall enter into any contract or service agreement with a third party that purports to obligate or bind the other Party or make any representations regarding the other Party without the prior written authorization of the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, principal and agent, or employment arrangement between the Customer and FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC or its employees and agents for any purpose, including but not limited to the application of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act, the Social Security Act, the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and any state statutes, including but not limited to, workers' compensation and unemployment insurance laws. Nothing in this Service Agreement confers on a Party any right, power, or authority to bind, transact any business in its name, make any promises or representations on its behalf, or otherwise obligate the other Party concerning any matter, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise.

    3. Assignment. Customer shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of Law or otherwise, without FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC's prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization involving Customer (regardless of whether Customer is a surviving or disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or performance under this Agreement for which FMCSA REGISTRATION GOV LLC's prior written consent is required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Customer of obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer violating this paragraph is void.
