Common use of Paying For The Arbitration Clause in Contracts

Paying For The Arbitration. (a) Except in the case of offers of judgment (such as under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or any applicable state equivalents), each party will pay the fees for its, his or her own attorneys and any costs that are not unique to arbitration, subject to any remedies to which that party may later be entitled under applicable law. (b) Each party shall follow the JAMS Rules applicable to initial arbitration filing fees, except that your portion of any initial arbitration filing fee shall not exceed the amount you would be required to pay to initiate a lawsuit in federal court in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted. After (and only after) you have paid your portion of any initial arbitration filing fee, we will make up the difference, if any, between the fee you have paid and the amount required by the JAMS Rules. (c) In all cases where required by law, we will pay the Arbitrator's fees, as well as all fees and costs unique to arbitration. Otherwise, such fee(s) will be apportioned between the parties in accordance with said applicable law, and any disputes in that regard will be resolved by the Arbitrator. You agree to not oppose any negotiations between JAMS and Uber relating only to our fees.
