- Coordinated Filings.
If 20 or more Claimant Notices are received by a party that raise similar claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, these will be considered “Coordinated Claims” and will be treated as mass filings or multiple case filings according to the Rules, if and to the extent Coordinated Claims are filed in arbitration as set forth in these Terms. You or Hera Mythras advise the other of your or its belief that Claims are Coordinated Claims, and disputes over whether a Claim meets the definition of “Coordinated Claims” will be decided by the arbitration provider as an administrative matter.
Coordinated Claims may only be filed in arbitration as permitted by the bellwether process set forth below. Applicable statutes of limitations will be tolled for Claims asserted as Coordinated Claims from the time a compliant Claimant Notice has been received by a party until these Terms of Use permit such Coordinated Claims to be filed in arbitration or court.
The bellwether process set forth in this Section 18(i) will not proceed until counsel representing the Coordinated Claims has advised the other party in writing (email being sufficient) that all or substantially all the Claimant Notices for the Coordinated Claims have been provided.
After that point, counsel for the parties shall select 20 Coordinated Claims to proceed in arbitration as a bellwether to allow each side to test the merits of its claims and arguments. Each side shall select 10 claimants who have provided a compliant Claimant Notice for this purpose, and only those chosen cases may be filed with NAM or AAA, as applicable. The parties acknowledge that resolution of some Coordinated Claims will be delayed by this bellwether process, and they consent to such delay.
A single arbitrator shall preside over each Coordinated Claim chosen for a bellwether proceeding, and unless the parties agree otherwise, only one Coordinated Claim may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process.
Once the arbitrations that are part of the bellwether process have concluded (or sooner if the claimants and the other party agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining Coordinated Claims, with the mediator’s fee paid for by Hera Mythras Counsel for the claimants and the other party must agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the last bellwether arbitration. If counsel for the claimants and the other party cannot agree on a mediator within 30 days, the arbitration provider will appoint a mediator as an administrative matter. All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed.
If the mediation does not yield a global resolution of all remaining Coordinated Claims, the arbitration requirement in this Section 18 shall no longer apply to Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party but that were not resolved in the bellwether proceedings. Any such Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement must be resolved in accordance with Section 18.
To the extent you are asserting the same Claim as other persons and are represented by common or coordinated counsel, you agree to waive any objection that the joinder of all such persons is impracticable.
If Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement are brought in court, claimants may seek class treatment, but to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the classes sought may comprise only the claimants in Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party. Any party may contest class certification at any stage of the litigation and on any available basis.
A court shall have authority to enforce the bellwether and mediation processes defined in this Section 18(i) and may enjoin the filing of lawsuits or arbitration demands not made in compliance with it.

You may reject any change we make to Section 18 (except address changes) by sending us notice of your rejection within 30 days of the change via email at hello@heramythras.com Changes to Section 18 may only be rejected as a whole, and you may not reject only certain changes to Section 18.

-
- Severability.
This portion of Section 18 addresses the potential scenario where any part of the section is deemed unenforceable or unlawful. Here’s a breakdown of its key points:
-
Severability Clause:
- If any part of Section 18 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful, including if it’s deemed unconscionable, that specific provision will be severed from the rest of the Terms.
- However, the removal of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will not affect the enforceability of the remainder of the Terms, including Section 18. The parties’ ability to compel arbitration for any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to Section 18 will remain intact.
-
Impact on Class, Collective, Consolidated, or Representative Claims:
- If any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis due to the removal of a portion of Section 18, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction rather than through arbitration.
- Litigation of these claims will be paused pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
-
Public Injunctive Relief:
- If any part of Section 18 prohibits an individual from seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will be disregarded to the extent that such relief is allowed to be sought outside of arbitration.
- The remainder of Section 18 will remain enforceable in this scenario.
Additionally, this section clarifies that if you reside outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding a claim either by following the arbitration procedure outlined in Section 18 or by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in your jurisdiction, if permitted by applicable law. If the proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of your jurisdiction.
