SECTION 20 – DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS
-
Disputes. The terms of this Section 20 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Katie Van Slyke and/or any third party operating on Katie Van Slyke’s behalf (including but not limited to any employees, agents, affiliates, service providers, suppliers, or vendors) (each a “party” and collectively, the “parties”). For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Katie Van Slyke arising under or relating to any Services, our website, these Terms, or any other transaction involving you and Katie Van Slyke, including any Dispute that arose before this or any prior agreement, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND Katie Van Slyke AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR Katie Van Slyke FOR (i) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (ii) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (iii) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (iv) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you agree that a court, not the arbitrator, shall decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.
-
Binding Arbitration. You and Katie Van Slyke further agree: (i) to arbitrate all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in these Terms; (ii) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (iii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 20 (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (iv) this Section 20 shall survive termination of these Terms.
-
Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Katie Van Slyke must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Katie Van Slyke must be addressed to: 923 Oldham Dr PO Box #1112 Nolensville, TN 37125 (the “Katie Van Slyke Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each party agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration. If Katie Van Slyke and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Katie Van Slyke may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section.
-
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province, or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
-
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND Katie Van Slyke AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND Katie Van Slyke AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.
-
Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules or AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, as applicable, (the “AAA Rules”) available at http://www.adr.org; except AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. 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 binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Katie Van Slyke decide to arbitrate a Dispute, you and Katie Van Slyke agree to initiate the arbitration in accordance with the AAA Rules. In accordance with the AAA Rules, the initiating party must (1) file or submit a “Demand for Arbitration” with the AAA, and (2) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address as the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an arbitration proceeding with the AAA, appear at http://www.adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
-
Hearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Katie Van Slyke or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Katie Van Slyke is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
-
Arbitration Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s Rules. For claims under $10,000, Katie Van Slyke will reimburse you for AAA issued fees, as well as the initial filing fee, if you are deemed the prevailing party by the arbitrator. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
-
Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to the Katie Van Slyke Notice Address within thirty (30) days of your acceptance to these Terms (including your first purchase of any Service or use of our website) that specifies: (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other Terms shall continue to apply.
-
Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Katie Van Slyke agree that if Katie Van Slyke makes any material amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in these Terms, Katie Van Slyke will notify you and you will have thirty (30) days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments by sending a written letter to the Katie Van Slyke Notice Address that specifies: (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to opt-out of such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language in the current Terms, without any of the amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such amendments.
-
Severability. If any provision in this Section 9 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section 9 shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.
-
Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Katie Van Slyke and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the courts located within the State of Tennessee, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
