Dispute Resolution
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Service (each, a “Dispute” and collectively, “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”), except as modified by these Terms of Service. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or at such other location as the Parties may mutually agree or by video conference if both Parties agree. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees; provided, however, that the arbitrator may award reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party if the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought in bad faith.
Cost-Reducing Arbitration Provisions
To minimize the cost and duration of arbitration, the Parties agree to the following procedures:
(a) Expedited Procedures. The arbitration shall proceed on an expedited basis. Discovery shall be limited to the exchange of relevant documents and a maximum of two depositions per side, each not to exceed four hours, unless the arbitrator determines that additional discovery is necessary for a fair resolution of the dispute.
(b) Simplified Briefing. Pre-hearing briefs shall be limited to twenty-five (25) pages, and post-hearing briefs, if any, shall be limited to fifteen (15) pages.
(c) Hearing Limitations. The evidentiary hearing shall be limited to one day unless the arbitrator determines that additional time is necessary. The hearing may be conducted by video conference if both Parties agree.
(d) Fee Allocation. The Parties shall equally split the arbitrator’s fees and JAMS administrative fees, except that the arbitrator may award reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party as provided above.
(e) Venue Flexibility. The Parties agree that arbitration hearings may be conducted remotely via video conference technology to reduce travel costs, unless either Party demonstrates good cause for an in-person hearing.
Governing Law
These Terms of Service and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
Statute of Limitations
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
Severability of Arbitration Provision
If any portion of this dispute resolution provision is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. If a Dispute is found not subject to arbitration, such Dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in New York, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such courts.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Service.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any court proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no court proceeding shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be adjudicated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Corrections
