DISPUTE RESOLUTION
WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO A DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY THAT INCLUDES (1) A REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY, INCLUDING ALL STATUTORY CLAIMS AND ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CLAIMS, THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITE; AND (2) A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION, TRIAL BY JURY, OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, IN ORDER TO SETTLE YOUR DISPUTE.
You and We agree that in the event of any dispute between Us, you and We will first try to resolve the dispute by talking with each other. Accordingly, neither you nor We may start a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days after one of Us notifies the other in writing of a dispute. The parties shall attempt to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, any provision of the agreement or the breach thereof by good faith negotiations between the parties.
If you and We are unable to resolve Our dispute by talking to each other, you and We each agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Our relationship, either the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy (including any dispute as to their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity), the Site or any Product or service provided under or in connection with Our relationship that is not resolved will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration before one arbitrator in the county of Los Angeles, California under the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to collect its reasonable costs, expenses, and interest (including reasonable attorneys' fees, arbitration fees, and other such costs). EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, BOTH PARTIES GIVE UP THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. You have a right to hire an attorney, at your own cost, to represent you in arbitration. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to make errors of law and any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim and the award, including any award of costs, expenses or interest, shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Use to the contrary, We agree that if We make any future material change to this arbitration agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) of which you had already provided notice to Us.
You and We agree not to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against the other. You and We also agree that you and We will not be entitled to bring any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity against the other, or against Our service partners, any Licensed Retailers, licensors, officers, directors, members, agents, employees, representatives, affiliates and predecessors. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. You and We retain Our respective rights to make any complaint to regulatory agencies or governmental investigators. A court may sever any portion of this provision that it may find to be unenforceable, except for the prohibition on class, representative or private attorney general arbitration.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if We are suffering irreparable harm arising out of or related to your use of the Site, We are not precluded from bringing an action or claim with respect thereto before the appropriate federal or state court located in the county of Los Angeles, California, and you consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such court related to any such action or claim.
