LEGAL DISPUTES – AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS
At Our Website, we hold in the highest regard our relationships with our customers. Should a dispute arise, we work hard to make things right with every consumer, including those who purchase products from us. Sometimes, a third party may be necessary to help us resolve our disputes, and these Terms limits us both to arbitration (or small claims court, if a claim qualifies) in all instances.
YOU AND Our Website AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THAT WE CANNOT RESOLVE INFORMALLY MUST BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
YOU AND Our Website FURTHER AGREE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS WE MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO LITIGATE OUR DISPUTES IN COURTS OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
YOU AND Our Website ALSO AGREE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTIONS/CLASS ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, OR OTHERWISE TO ASSERT OR PROCEED WITH ANY CLAIM AGAINST EACH OTHER ON A COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS. IN THIS REGARD, NO ARBITRATION BETWEEN US WILL BE JOINED TO AN ARBITRATION INVOLVING ANY OTHER PARTY.
This arbitration requirement extends to Our Website agents, attorneys, representatives, employees, service providers, and suppliers, including all affiliated companies (including parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations), and our respective heirs, successors, and assigns.
You and Our Website agree that any claim between us involves commerce under and is governed exclusively by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), and not by any state or local laws which might place limits on the scope or availability of arbitration or way imposing requirements beyond or inconsistent with the FAA.
If for any reason this arbitration agreement between us does not apply or is not enforceable, despite our mutual intention that it apply fully to all of our disputes, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in New York, New York (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). In such cases, the parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in New York, New York for any litigation other than small claims court actions.
Arbitration: Scope, Rules, and Requirements
You and Our Website understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and discovery and court review of an arbitration award are limited. However, under this agreement, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and other relief as a court and must follow these Terms just as a court would.
The arbitration or small claims court action (if the latter is available and elected by either of us) shall occur in the United States in the county or parish where you reside unless you agree otherwise. You may also choose to have any arbitration, whether commenced by you or us, conducted by telephone, by video conference, or on written submissions only.
The arbitrator and small claims court (if the latter is available and elected by either of us), alone, have the authority to and shall resolve all claims and issues of any nature arising out of or related in any way to your access to or use of the Website and your interactions of any kind with Our Website. This includes, but is not limited, all claims arising under international, federal, state, and local statutory, regulatory, constitutional, and common law claims, including, but not limited to, claims sounding in negligence, whatever their nature.
For purposes of clarity, but not as a limitation of any kind, this clause covers any and all claims related to or arising out of the content or operation of the Website, your visits to the Website, your purchases (or attempted purchases) from Our Website, your requests to receive advertising or promotions from Our Website, your participation in any contests, special offers, coupon or discount promotions offered by Our Website, and all communications occurring as result of, in relating in any way to, your use of our website, or any other interactions between us.
We are committed to providing for dispute resolution at a reasonable cost to consumers consistent with the Rules, and any matters relating to such cost, if not agreed to here or addressed by the Rules, will be decided by the arbitrator.
In arbitration and in small claims court, recovery of attorney fees by either parties shall be consistent with, but not exceed, the right to recover such fees under applicable law. This agreement, however, does not create an independent right to recover attorneys‘ fees.
This arbitration agreement, and all of the rights, obligations, and requirements it contains, shall be interpreted without reference to any other provisions of the Terms. To the extent that any other provision of the Terms is found to be inconsistent in any way with the rights, duties, and requirements of this arbitration agreement, and where the application of such a provision would change or render unenforceable any part of this arbitration agreement, such provision shall be null and void to the extent necessary to preserve and protect this agreement to arbitrate our disputes.
