Both you and the Company waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action. Both you and the Company waive the right to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action related dispute that is brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS (defined below) standards or rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding.

The parties each agree to finally settle any legal suit, action, dispute, proceeding, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services only through binding arbitration administered before a sole arbitrator under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. If arbitration under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures is not possible, the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures shall be used. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award are final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration,” then either part can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Westchester County, NY, or New York City, NY, or in or near your hometown if required by applicable JAMS standards or rules. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms will also apply during the arbitration. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a state or federal court located in New York City, NY. At the Company’s sole discretion, the parties may first attempt to settle any dispute covered by the preceding by mediation in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures for mediation established by JAMS then in effect. The mediation, if any, shall be held in Westchester County, NY, or New York City, NY. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, provided, however, that if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then this agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York City, NY. The Company agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration, but specifically excluding (i) any of your travel or other costs to attend the arbitration hearing and (ii) if you initiate the arbitration against us, a $250 fee. Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.

Limitation on Time to File Claims. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Privacy Policy. Your use of the Services is also governed by the Company’s privacy policy as described in the Privacy Policy, available here and deemed incorporated herein. By using the Services, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.

Entire Agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and the Company regarding use of the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Services, unless your registration or orders subject you to additional terms in which case those are deemed added hereto and incorporated herein except to the extent that they conflict with these Terms.

Waiver, Assignment and Severability. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by the Company of any of these Terms will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms. The Company may assign its rights and duties under these Terms to any party at any time without notice to you. Terms may not be assigned by you without the Company’s prior written consent. Should any competent court determine that any provision of these Terms are unenforceable as written, then said provision shall be deemed to have been rewritten in accordance with the law; if that is not possible, then that provision shall be deemed to have been stricken from the Terms, and all other provisions remain in full force and effect. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against the Company by virtue of the Company having drafted them. No amendment or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by the Company. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination shall survive the termination of these Terms for any reason (including without limitation, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation on Liability, Waiver, and Arbitration Agreement/Governing Law/Class Action Waiver/Dispute Resolution). If you do not agree to these Terms, please stop, and you hereby agree to stop, using these Services immediately.
