If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section..
14. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Arbitration. For any dispute or claim that you have against Company, that Company has against you, or that you have or Company has arising from or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Company as it relates to these Terms or the Services, including any privacy or data security claims (collectively, "Disputes" and each a "Dispute"), you and Company agree to attempt to first resolve the Dispute informally via the following process:
(i) If you assert a Dispute against Company, you will first contact Company by sending a written notice of your Dispute ("Dispute Notice") to Company by email to support@mdartlifestyle.com or by certified mail addressed to 2916 N. Miami Ave., Suite 1005, Miami, Florida 33127 Attention: MD Art Lifestyle Legal. The Dispute Notice must (A) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number, (B) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute, and (C) set forth the specific relief sought.
(ii) If Company asserts a Dispute against you, Company will first contact you by sending a written notice of Company's Dispute ("Company Notice"), and each of a Dispute Notice and Company Notice, a "Notice") to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The Company Notice must (A) include the name of a Company contact and the contact's email address and telephone number, (B) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute, and (C) set forth the specific relief sought.
(iii) If you and Company cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after you or Company receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Company first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
(b) Disputes Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions. Except for individual disputes that qualify for small claims court and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Company, including any disputes in which you or Company seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or Company's intellectual property or other infringement of your or Company's intellectual property rights ("IP Disputes"), all Disputes, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including Disputes that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Disputes, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 14(a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Disputes include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.
(c) Federal Arbitration Act. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 14 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the AAA Rules (as defined below), the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability.
(d) Arbitration Procedure. All Disputes must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. The AAA administers arbitration pursuant to the due process standards set forth by the AAA and rules set forth by the AAA. The then-current version of the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are available on the AAA's website (adr.org) (the "AAA Rules"), as amended by these Terms as follows, will apply to any arbitration between you and Company:
(i) YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND COMPANY ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against Company or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
(ii) For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and Company will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, Company will pay all AAA fees and costs.
(iii) For all arbitrations where the Disputes asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA's Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (A) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (B) any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, and (C) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination will be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.
(iv) If you or Company submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Company agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Company agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.
(v) The arbitrator's decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
(vi) The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Company or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated.
The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Company or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated.
In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Company understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Company or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated resolution of your or Company's Dispute might be delayed.
For such coordinated actions, you and Company also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for claimants and counsel for Company will each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings. The remaining cases will be deemed filed for purposes of the statute of limitations but not for the purpose of assessing AAA fees. No AAA fees shall be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side will select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process.
A single arbitrator will preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.
This bellwether process will continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved.
The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled for claims subject to this bellwether process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your or Company's case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved.
A court will have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Company or you.
(e) One Year to Assert Disputes. To the extent permitted by law, any Dispute by you relating in any way to these Terms, the Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Company as it relates to these Terms or the Services, must be filed within one year after such Dispute arises; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you will not have the right to assert the Dispute.
(f) Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at support@mdartlifestyle.com or by certified mail addressed to 2916 N. Miami Ave., Suite 1005, Miami, Florida 33127 Attention: MD Art Lifestyle Legal. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 13.
(g) Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change we make to Section 14 (except address changes) by personally signing and sending us notice within 30 days of the change via email at support@mdartlifestyle.com or by certified mail addressed to 2916 N. Miami Ave., Suite 1005, Miami, Florida 33127 Attention: MD Art Lifestyle Legal. If you do, the most recent version of Section 16 before the change you rejected will apply.
(h) Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes. If any portion of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms, (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 14 or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 14, and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 14 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 14 will be enforceable.
(i) Severability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding these Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 14 or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the Dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the Dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
15. General Terms.
(a) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Company and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Company and you regarding the Services. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
