DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS

INFORMAL NEGOTIATION

To resolve any Dispute related to these Terms of Use in a timely and cost-effective manner, both you and we (the “Parties”) agree to make an initial attempt to resolve any Dispute informally through negotiation for a minimum of thirty (30) days before commencing arbitration. This applies to all Disputes except those explicitly outlined below. Informal negotiations will begin upon one Party giving written notice to the other Party.

BINDING ARTBITRATION

In an effort to minimize expenses and expedite the resolution of any disputes, disagreements, or claims arising from these Terms of Use (each referred to as a “Dispute”), the Parties (which refers to you and us) agree to attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing arbitration, unless otherwise stated below. If the Parties cannot resolve the Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except for those Disputes specified below) will be exclusively and finally resolved via binding arbitration. It is important to note that, without this provision, you would have the right to file a lawsuit in court and have a trial by jury. The arbitration will be initiated and conducted in compliance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, when applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are accessible on the AAA’s website: www.adr.org. Your share of the arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules, and, when applicable, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be accompanied in person, through the submission of papers, by receiver, or wired. The arbitrator’s decision will be made in writing, but they are not required to provide an explanation unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must comply with applicable laws, and any award can be contested if the arbitrator fails to do so. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable AAA regulations or laws, the arbitration will be conducted in the United States, Delaware. The Parties may file a lawsuit in court to enforce arbitration, suspend legal proceedings until arbitration is completed, or confirm, amend, nullify, or enter a judgment on the arbitrator’s award, except where otherwise stated herein.

In the event that a Dispute proceeds in court instead of arbitration, the Parties agree to initiate or prosecute the Dispute in the state and federal courts located in United States, Delaware. The Parties also waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non convenient with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.

Furthermore, these Terms of Use exclude the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA).

The Parties agree that any Dispute related to the Site cannot be initiated more than one (1) year after the cause of action occurred.  If this provision is deemed unlawful or unenforceable, both parties agree not to pursue arbitration for disputes falling under that specific portion of the provision. Instead, any such dispute shall be resolved by a court in the jurisdiction listed above, and both parties shall submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

This arbitration agreement encompasses claims related to our clients, vendors, and Marketing Partners, who are considered third-party beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement.

 

RESTRICTIONS

The Parties have agreed that any arbitration will be restricted to the Dispute solely between them. They have also agreed that, to the extent allowed by law, (a) no arbitration will be combined with any other legal action; (b) no Dispute will be resolved through arbitration as a class action or by using class action procedures; and (c) no Dispute may be filed in the name of or on behalf of any group of individuals or the general public.

 

UNOFFICIAL NEGOTIATION AND ARBITRATION EXCEPTIONS

The Parties acknowledge that certain Disputes are exempted from the previous provisions related to informal negotiations and arbitration. These Disputes include (a) any Dispute relating to the protection, enforcement, or validity of intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute arising from allegations of unauthorized use, piracy, theft, or invasion of privacy; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If a court determines that this provision is illegal or unenforceable, neither Party will arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision and such Any Dispute shall be resolved by a competent court within the jurisdiction listed above, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
