DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, YOUR VISIT TO THE SITE, OR TO ANY PURCHASE, TRANSACTION, RETURN OR OTHER INTERACTION WITH Sweet Mane (INCLUDING CLAIMS RELATING TO Sweet Mane’S ADVERTISEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, EMAIL AND MOBILE SMS MESSAGES SENT BY Sweet Mane, OR Sweet Mane’S COLLECTION OR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION) (“DISPUTE”) SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
ANY PARTY WHO INTENDS TO SEEK ARBITRATION MUST FIRST TRY IN GOOD FAITH TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE BY PROVIDING TO THE OTHER PARTY A WRITTEN NOTICE (“NOTICE”) DESCRIBING THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISPUTE AND THE SPECIFIC RELIEF SOUGHT, AND INCLUDING ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. THE NOTICE MUST BE MAILED VIA CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO: Sweet Mane 770 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10003 ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL, OR TO YOU AT YOUR LAST-USED BILLING ADDRESS OR THE BILLING AND/OR SHIPPING ADDRESS IN YOUR ONLINE PROFILE. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE CLAIM WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE NOTICE IS RECEIVED, EITHER PARTY MAY COMMENCE ARBITRATION.
ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONDUCTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (’AAA’), ADR.ORG, 1.800.778.7879, AND PURSUANT TO THE THEN APPLICABLE AAA COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND MEDIATION PROCEDURES. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE, BASED ON WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS, IN PERSON IN THE COUNTY WHERE YOU LIVE, OR AT ANOTHER MUTUALLY AGREED LOCATION. UNLESS THE ARBITRATOR FINDS SOME OR ALL OF YOUR CLAIMS TO BE FRIVOLOUS, WITHOUT MERIT OR OTHERWISE NON-REIMBURSABLE, Sweet Mane WILL REIMBURSE YOUR REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS FOR CLAIMS TOTALING LESS THAN $10,000 AND AGREES NOT TO SEEK ATTORNEYS’ FEES OR COSTS FROM YOU. (IN DETERMINING WHETHER AN ACTION IS FRIVOLOUS, THE ARBITRATOR MAY CONSIDER WHETHER Sweet Mane HAS OFFERED YOU A FULL REFUND OF THE SUM YOU PAID FOR ITEMS YOU PURCHASED FROM Sweet Mane, OR HAS OTHERWISE OFFERED FULL RELIEF TO YOU IN RELATION TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.) IN LIEU OF ARBITRATION, EITHER YOU OR Sweet Mane MAY ASSERT INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT CONSISTENT WITH THE JURISDICTIONAL AND DOLLAR LIMITS THAT MAY APPLY. THIS SECTION WILL SURVIVE AFTER THE TERMS OF USE TERMINATE OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE ENDS.
IF YOU HAVE IN ANY MANNER VIOLATED OR THREATENED TO VIOLATE ANY Sweet Mane INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT (AS DEFINED BELOW), WE MAY BRING SUIT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. YOU CONSENT TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THESE COURTS.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
You and Sweet Mane agree that any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action. If this class action waiver is found to be void or unenforceable, the Dispute shall be resolved in state or federal court rather than in arbitration. You further agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else, nor will you seek to become a class representative. You further agree that in any action you initiate, any relief you seek will be confined to relief on your own behalf. This section will survive after the Terms of Use terminate or your use of the Site ends.
