DISPUTE RESOLUTION
READ THIS CAREFULLY, AS THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
You agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce. This means that you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of arbitration provisions such as the provision below. All provisions in the Terms regarding arbitration are intended to be interpreted broadly and will apply to any and all disputes between us. For example, the FAA will apply to any and all claims arising out of or relating in any way to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, as well as claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising, and any content available on or through the Extension, or the Website; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. Certain disputes may be excluded from this broad prohibition, such as certain intellectual property and small claims, detailed below.
By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with us in the following manner:
Many disputes are resolved without litigation, and by agreeing to these Terms you agree to reach out to us to attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation at . You may not institute arbitration or any type of lawsuit or legal proceedings without following these rules.
If we are unable to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within a period of 60 days from the time you notify us, then you may initiate binding arbitration. Binding arbitration shall be the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. An arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If you wish to commence arbitration, you must: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (see, e.g., www.jamsadr.com ); (b) send three copies of the Demand, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 620 Eighth Ave, NY Times Building 34th Floor New York, NY 10018 USA; and (c) email a copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at , with DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION in the subject line.
In the absence of the negotiation and mandatory arbitration provisions in these Terms, you would have the right to proceed in court and have a jury trial. The costs of arbitration could be more expensive than the costs of a lawsuit. In addition, the right to discovery in arbitration could be narrower than in a court.
You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County or Orange County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS
YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
You may not lodge any claim or proceeding as a class action or other representative action. You expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that this waiver is void or unenforceable, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
30-DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT AND NOT BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS SET FORTH ABOVE BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT OUT TO WITH THE SUBJECT LINE, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” THE NOTICE MUST BE SENT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS; OTHERWISE, YOU SHALL BE BOUND TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THOSE PARAGRAPHS. IF YOU OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, WE ALSO WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THEM.
We will endeavor to provide 30 days’ notice of any material changes to this section by posting on the Website or the Extension, by sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you in a reasonable manner. Amendments will become effective 30 days after they are posted on the Website, on the Extension or sent to you.
Any changes will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the 30th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Website or Extension. This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of the Extension.
Governing Law and Statute of Limitations
You agree that California law applies to the interpretation of the Terms and the relationship between us, without regard to California’s conflict of law provisions. All dispute resolution procedures, including any arbitration, must take place in Los Angeles County or Orange County, California. If any claims are deemed not subject to arbitration, we both agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within Los Angeles County, or Orange County, California.
Any claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Terms, the Website, or the Extension must be notified to us within one year after it arises, or it will be barred. This section will be applied to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, settlements, or other liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising from (1) your use of, or access to, the services; (2) your violation of any of these terms; and (3) your actual or alleged violation of any law, rule, or regulation related in any way, directly or indirectly, to the website or the services, as well as your actual or alleged violation of any third-party right, including but not limited to, any intellectual property rights such as a trademark, copyright, trade secret, or privacy right.
Miscellaneous Provisions
These Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you regarding any issue covered in this document. In addition, these Terms form the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties, regarding the Extension and the Website.
You should know that certain sections of these Terms will survive any termination of your account or any aspect of the Extension, even if we cease offering services through the Extension. Further, our decision not to enforce any part of these Terms will not be considered a waiver. You may not amend these Terms. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any court having competent jurisdiction, then that part shall be deemed severable from the Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Instead, any invalid or unenforceable part or provision will be replaced by a valid and/or enforceable part that meets the intention of the parties as much as possible.
While you have no right to assign your duties under these Terms, all of our rights and obligations under these Terms, including any license rights, are freely assignable by us in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise. Further, nothing in these Terms shall prevent us from complying with the law.
AS A FINAL REMINDER, BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE OR INSTALLING THE EXTENSION, YOU SIGNIFY YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION AS DETAILED IN OUR PRIVACY POLICY, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE SITE OR EXTENSION.
