ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any claim against us, you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely. You may send the written description by U.S. Mail to Arq Botanics at PO Box 250, Hudson, New York 12534. You agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days after our receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms of Use or your use of the Website that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Arq Botanics are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/consumer or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms and Conditions of Service. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected by the AAA. Arbitrations will be held in New York County, New York.
If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party initiating the arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules.
All information relating to or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes hereunder shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information. Such information shall not be disclosed by any party or their respective representatives without the prior written authorization of the party furnishing such information. Such information shall not be disclosed by the arbitrator without the prior written authorization of all parties.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by us. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Arq Botanics for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and these Terms of Use . The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator shall have the right to award costs (including legal fees and the cost of the arbitration) and interest. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Arq Botanics and may not be appealed.
You and Arq Botanics waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and Arq Botanics elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Arq Botanics over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and Arq Botanics waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Arq Botanics may bring an individual action in small claims court.
This agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of your relationship with Arq Botanics.
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms and Conditions of Service to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Arq Botanics agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York. You and Arq Botanics consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
In order to avoid irreparable injury to Arq Botanics, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by you of the provisions of this Agreement, we shall be entitled to seek an injunction or other equitable relief restraining such breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting us from pursuing any other remedies available to us for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from you.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. This means that we each agree to arbitrate in our individual capacities only, not as a representative of a class, a member of a class, or a Private Attorney General. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
GOVERNING LAW
Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law, shall govern all disputes arising out of these Terms of Use. If any applicable law is in conflict any part of these Terms of Use, the Terms of Use will be deemed modified to conform to such law. The other provisions of these Terms of Use will not be affected by an such modification.
