Capital Markets Elite Group is not a registered U.S. broker-dealer. It does not accept a U.S. Person as a client if that person was solicited by Capital Markets Elite Group. (The definition of “U.S. Person” is here.) Capital Markets Elite Group will rely on a certification from a potential customer that the potential customer either is not a U.S. Person or has not been solicited, directly or indirectly, by Capital Markets Elite Group and has not been induced by Capital Markets Elite Group to engage in securities transactions. In particular, they must certify that they were directed to this website by someone other than Capital Markets Elite Group. They must also certify that they understand that they will not be protected by U.S. laws, regulations and supervisory structures applicable to broker-dealers registered in the U.S. and they do not expect such protections to apply. You should give these certifications only if they are true. If you wish to proceed to the website knowing that, please click “Continue” below. Otherwise click “Leave Website”

The parties expressly agree that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration will be limited to the resolution of individual claims only. 

 

DISPUTE NOTICE AND ARBITRATION PROCESS

 

Prior to initiating an arbitration proceeding, you must first send  Capital Markets Elite Group, a written statement setting forth your name, address, and telephone number, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested (“Dispute Statement”).  The Dispute Statement to Capital Markets Elite Group must be emailed to www.cmelitegroup.com.  If we are unable to resolve your claim within sixty (60) days, then either party that desires to initiate an arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Procedures. 

 

To the extent permitted by law, an arbitrator(s), and not any court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes relating to our services and products, as well as all Disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, the arbitrability of any claim, as well as any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable.  Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the JAMS arbitrator(s), a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is an IP Protection Action, and any claim that an arbitrator(s) deems not subject to arbitration.

 

ARBITRATION LOCATION AND PROCEDURE

 

Unless the parties otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in Trinidad and Tobago.  If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then: (i) the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents the parties submit to the arbitrator(s), unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator(s) determines that a hearing is necessary; and (ii) if there is a hearing, you may choose whether to participate in person or by telephone.  If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Procedures.  Subject to the JAMS Procedures, the arbitrator(s) will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration.

 

ARBITRATOR’S DECISION

 

The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions of law upon which the arbitrator(s) based the award.  Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.  The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Disclaimer of Warranties,” and “Limitations of Liability” sections above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.  The arbitrator(s) may award declaratory and injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.  If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent permitted under applicable law.  Capital Markets Elite Group will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.

 

FEES

 

We will pay or (if applicable) reimburse you for all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Capital Markets Elite Group, pursuant to the terms of this section.

 

TIME LIMIT FOR RESOLVING DISPUTES

 

The parties agree that any cause of action either may have with respect to the Site or our services, products, and Content must be commenced within one (1) year after the Dispute arises, notwithstanding any statutes of limitations to the contrary.  Many laws set statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year.  If you live in a jurisdiction that has statutes of limitations that are longer than one (1) year, by agreeing to these Terms, you are agreeing to shorten the time you have to bring a claim.  This means that if you wait longer than one (1) year to initiate arbitration under this section, you will lose some or all rights you may have to any recovery, including the right to recover damages, in connection with a Dispute.  The terms of this Dispute Resolution section survive any termination of these Terms.
