  25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    You and Boloto agree to submit any disputes involving money or damages greater than $5,000 relating to this Agreement and/or transactions, duties, or obligations to be performed under this Agreement to mediation with a mediator approved by the Parties to the dispute. If the Parties resolve their disputes through mediation, the Parties shall share the costs of mediation evenly but pay their own attorneys' fees and other expenses related to mediation. If mediation fails to resolve all disputes within thirty (30) days after submission, then the disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration. The prevailing Party in any arbitration relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be entitled to costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys fees and the attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with mediation that failed to resolve the dispute. Claims of $5,000 or less may be submitted to mediation or small claims court.

    Procedure - Absent agreement through mediation any Party may demand in writing binding arbitration. Once such a demand is made, the claim shall be submitted to American Arbitration Association for binding arbitration.

    The parties to the dispute shall, in good faith, agree on an arbitrator. If within two months of a demand for arbitration, the parties have not agreed, the arbitrator shall be selected by alternate striking from a list of nine (9) arbitrators drawn by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") from a panel of arbitrators with expertise in the process of deciding disputes and in the particular area of law upon which the claim being submitted to arbitration is based.

    Arbitration shall be conducted under the appropriate AAA rules in the form they exist on the date the claim is submitted to AAA. Arizona substantive and procedural law shall apply to any such arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted applying the Arizona Rules of Evidence.

    The arbitration shall take place in Maricopa County, Arizona.

    The arbitrator shall have the discretion to order any and all reasonable discovery permitted under the laws of Arizona upon the written request of any party. The request for discovery shall include the discovery requested and the reasons therefore. The responding party shall be given a reasonable opportunity to submit any objections in writing prior to an order of discovery. No hearing, however, shall be required but may be held if the arbitrator believes that it may assist in a decision. The Parties agree that the arbitrator should honor all reasonable discovery requests or parts thereof. In addition, the arbitrator may order the parties to exchange any relevant information prior to the hearing including but not limited to documents, exhibit lists, witness lists, expert witnesses with a summary of their opinions and credentials, pre-hearing briefs, and summaries of testimony of proposed witnesses.

    In deciding the claim and the appropriate award or other relief, the arbitrator shall determine the rights and obligations of the parties to the claim under the substantive and procedural laws of Arizona as though the arbitrator was a court of competent jurisdiction in Arizona and may afford any relief that could be afforded by Arizona courts including, but not limited to, specific performance, punitive damages, injunctive relief, and/or sanctions for abusing or frustrating the arbitration process. In addition, the arbitrator shall award costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, of the action to the prevailing party or parties including but not limited to the arbitrator's fees. Either Party, at its expense, may arrange for and pay the cost of a court reporter or video recorder to provide a record of proceedings.

    The Arbitrator's Decision - The arbitrator’s decision must be based on a written statement of decision explaining the factual and legal bases for each material issue relevant to the claim and raised in the papers or at the hearing. Only if the arbitrator's decision correctly applies California’s substantive and procedural laws shall the facts found be conclusive and binding on the parties in the proceeding. If the arbitrator's decision correctly applies Arizona’s substantive and procedural laws, it may be confirmed and entered as a judgment by any appropriate Court of Arizona and may be challenged only for (1) errors of law or (2) errors of fact appearing in the written decision.

    Agreement Not to Sue - Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Parties agree not to initiate or prosecute any lawsuit in any way related to any claims related to this Agreement.

ONLINE DATING SAFETY TIPS

You should follow these very important tips when interacting with other Members offline. Always remember there is no substitute for common sense and you are responsible for your actions. When someone appears too good to be true, they usually are. Begin by communicating solely via e-mail. Check for inconsistencies or vagueness in someone’s statements. The person at the other end may not be who or what he or she says. Trust your instincts. If you ever feel uncomfortable or threatened end the contact immediately. Your safety should be your paramount concern. All correspondence between members occurs over a highly secured network. Boloto will never release any of your personal information to any other member. Never include your last name, email address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in your personal profile or initial messages. Be sure that all e-mail features that may personally identify you are turned off. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it. Never give out any financial information or your social security number to another Member over the Internet. The only information available to other members is what you choose to provide to them. Careful, thoughtful decisions generally yield better dating results. Guard against trusting the untrustworthy; suitors must earn your trust gradually, through consistently honorable, forthright behavior. Take all the time you need to test for a trustworthy person and pay careful attention along the way. If you suspect someone is lying, he or she probably is, so act accordingly. Be responsible about romance, and don’t fall in love at the click of a mouse. Don’t become prematurely intimate with someone, even if that intimacy only occurs online. If you mutually decide to cross the point of no return, be smart and protect yourself. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provide some of the most current information available about sexually transmitted diseases and preserving your health. Because privacy is of the highest importance at Boloto, we do not require our members to submit to background checks. We do, however, encourage members to do their own research on potential love matches. We recommend getting as much info as possible by asking questions, utilizing Internet search engines, and most importantly, using common sense. Nothing is 100% reliable; just remember to use your head as well as your heart. If you want to check someone’s background on your own, simply perform a search using your favorite Internet search engine - many companies supply them!) A photo will give you a good idea of the person’s appearance, which may prove helpful in achieving a gut feeling. In fact, it’s best to view several images of someone in various settings: casual, formal, indoor and outdoors. If all you hear are excuses about why you can’t see a photo, consider that he or she has something to hide. A phone call can reveal much about a person’s communication and social skills. Consider your security and do not reveal your personal phone number to a stranger. Try a cell phone number instead or use local telephone blocking techniques to prevent your phone number from appearing in Caller ID. Only furnish your phone number when you feel completely comfortable. By meeting and relating online, you can collect information gradually, later choosing whether to pursue a relationship offline. You never are obligated to meet anyone, regardless of your level of online intimacy. And even if you decide to arrange a meeting, you always have the right to change your mind. It is possible that your decision to keep the relationship anonymous is based on a hunch that you can’t logically explain. Trust yourself. Go with your instincts. Pay attention to displays of anger, intense frustration, or attempts to pressure or control you. Acting in a passive-aggressive manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments or any physically inappropriate behavior are all red flags. You should be concerned if your date exhibits any of the following behavior without providing an acceptable explanation:

  • Provides inconsistent information about age, interests, appearance, marital status, profession, employment, etc.
  • Refuses to speak to you on the phone after establishing ongoing, online intimacy.
  • Fails to provide direct answers to direct questions.
  • Appears significantly different in person from his or her online persona.
  • Never introduces you to friends, professional associates, or family members.

When you choose to meet someone offline, be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you will return. It is a good idea to bring someone with you when you meet your new internet friend for the first time. Leave your date's name and telephone number with your friend. Never arrange for your date to pick you up at home. Provide your own transportation, meet in a public place at a time with many people around (a familiar restaurant or coffee shop is often a good choice), and when the date is over, leave on your own as well. Refrain from drinking excessively, as it could impair your ability to make good decisions. If at some point you and your date decide to move to another location, take your own car. When the timing is appropriate, thank your date for getting together and say goodbye. If you are flying in from another city, arrange for your own car and hotel room. Do not disclose the name of your hotel and never allow your date to make the arrangements for you. Rent a car at the airport and drive directly to your hotel. Call your date from the hotel or meet at the location you have already agreed to. If the location seems inappropriate or unsafe, go back to your hotel. Try to contact your date at that location or leave a message on a home machine. Always make sure a friend or family member knows your plans and has your contact information. And if possible, carry a cell phone at all times. Never do anything you feel unsure about. If you are in any way afraid of your date, use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and get out of there. Excuse yourself long enough to call a friend for advice, ask someone else on the scene for help or slip out the back door and drive away. If you feel you are in danger, call the police; it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Never worry or feel embarrassed about your behavior; your safety is much more important than one person’s opinion of you.
