DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To promote prompt resolution and minimize costs, you and we (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) agree that before initiating arbitration, we will attempt to resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (“Dispute” or collectively, “Disputes”) through informal negotiations. This informal negotiation period shall last at least thirty (30) days and begins upon written notice from one Party to the other. This requirement does not apply to the exceptions listed below.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties cannot resolve the Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), available at www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation will be governed by these rules and may be limited accordingly. Should the arbitrator find your costs excessive, we will cover all arbitration fees and expenses.
Arbitration may occur in person, via documents, phone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a written decision but is not required to provide a detailed explanation unless requested. The arbitrator must apply applicable law, and any award may be challenged if legal standards are not followed.
Except as required by AAA rules or applicable law, arbitration will take place in United States County, California.
Court Proceedings
Parties may seek judicial intervention only to compel arbitration, stay litigation pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on an arbitration award.
If a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, it must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in United States County, California. By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to personal jurisdiction and waive any defenses regarding venue or jurisdiction in these courts.
Excluded Laws
These Terms of Use do not apply the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA).
Time Limit on Claims
Any Dispute must be initiated within two (2) years after the event giving rise to the claim. Otherwise, the claim is waived.
Severability
If any part of this Dispute Resolution provision is deemed unenforceable or illegal, the unenforceable portion will be severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force. In that case, the Parties agree that Disputes covered by the invalid portion will be resolved by a court with proper jurisdiction in United States County, California, and the Parties consent to the court’s jurisdiction.
Restrictions on Arbitration
The Parties agree arbitration is limited to individual claims only. To the fullest extent allowed by law:
a) No arbitration may be joined with other proceedings;
b) No class-action arbitration or procedures are permitted; and
c) No representative claims on behalf of others or the general public may be arbitrated.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The following Disputes are excluded from informal negotiation and arbitration:
a) Disputes involving enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights;
b) Disputes involving allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and
c) Claims seeking injunctive relief.
If any exception is found unenforceable, those Disputes will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in United States County, California, with the Parties consenting to such jurisdiction.
CORRECTIONS
There may be information on the Site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and other details related to the Marketplace Offerings. We reserve the right to correct any such errors and to change or update the information on the Site at any time without prior notice.
