Disputes, Binding and Confidential Arbitration, and Waiver Of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations
AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, WE EACH AGREE TO SETTLE DISPUTES (EXCEPT CERTAIN SMALL CLAIMS) ONLY BY ARBITRATION. BY USING THE SITE AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE AGREEING TO WAIVE AND ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE Bee Lucia Co. IN COURT AND YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AND Bee Lucia Co. EACH AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND REVIEW IS LIMITED, BUT AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF, AND MUST HONOR THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THE AGREEMENT AS A COURT WOULD.
Disputes. The terms of this section will apply to all Disputes between you and Bee Lucia Co.. For purposes of this section, “Disputes” means any dispute, claim, or action between you and Bee Lucia Co. arising under or relating to our products, the Site, the Application, the Bee Lucia Co. Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and these Terms, and/or any other transaction involving you and Bee Lucia Co., whether in contract, warranty, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and will be interpreted to have given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND Bee Lucia Co. AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR Bee Lucia Co. FOR (I) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (II) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (III) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, OR (IV) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in these Terms, you and Bee Lucia Co. agree that a court, not an arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.
Confidential and Binding Arbitration. You and Bee Lucia Co. agree to confidential and binding arbitration of all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in this section. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU AND Bee Lucia Co. WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. You and Bee Lucia Co. also agree that (i) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (ii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section; and (iii) this section will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator may award the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction could, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief warranted by a claim. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation, and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court. Bee Lucia Co. does not hereby waive any defense and expressly reserves its right to assert any defense available to it in any such action, whether jurisdictional or otherwise.
Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Bee Lucia Co. must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that includes a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Bee Lucia Co. must be addressed and sent by certified mail to: Attn: Dispute Notice Agent, Bee Lucia Wellness Co. DBA “Bee Lucia Co.”, 1825 SE Franklin St. STE B Portland, OR 97202 (the “Bee Lucia Co. Notice”). 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. If Bee Lucia Co. and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, either you or Bee Lucia Co. may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of us agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND Bee Lucia Co. 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 WILL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration will be governed by the terms set forth in this section and the Expedited Arbitration Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Procedures”), which are available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. The parties expressly agree that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration will be limited to the resolution of individual claims only. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Procedures and the terms set forth in this section, the terms in this section will govern. The parties may, in arbitration, seek all remedies otherwise available to them pursuant to federal, state, or local laws. All Disputes will be resolved by a single neutral JAMS arbitrator, and both parties will have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this section. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will 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. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the JAMS arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for (i) trade secret misappropriation, (ii) patent infringement, (iii) copyright infringement or misuse, or (iv) trademark infringement or dilution, each of which is excluded from the definition of “Dispute” as stated above. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone will take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Los Angeles, California, at your option.
- Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Bee Lucia Co. decide to arbitrate a Dispute, the parties agree to the following procedure:
- Write a Demand for Arbitration. The Demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered (the “Demand for Arbitration”). A sample demand for arbitration is available at http://jamsadr.com.
- Send three (3) copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to:
555 West Fifth Street
Gas Company Tower
32nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90013
- Send by certified mail one (1) copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address listed for the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to in advance by the parties.
- Hearing Format. In all hearings, the arbitrator will issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. The amount of any settlement offer made by Bee Lucia Co. or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator, if at all, until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Bee Lucia Co. is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute will be governed by the JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures.
- Arbitration Fees. Bee Lucia Co. will pay, or (if applicable), reimburse, you for all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Bee Lucia Co. pursuant to the terms of this section.
- Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section by sending a written letter by certified mail to Bee Lucia Wellness Co. DBA “Bee Lucia Co.”, 1825 SE Franklin St. STE B Portland, OR 97202 within thirty (30) days of your first visit to and use of the Site or Application that specifies your (i) name; (ii) mailing address; and (iii) request to be excluded from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure or waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section. In the event you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms and conditions in these Terms will continue to apply.
Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in this section to the contrary, you and Bee Lucia Co. agree that if Bee Lucia Co. makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions set forth in this section (other than a change to the parties’ addresses), Bee Lucia Co. will post notice of such amendments on the Site and Application and you will have thirty (30) days from your first visit to, or use of, the Site or Application containing such amendments to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you agree you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this section as stated in this current section, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to such future amendments.
Severability. If any provision of this section is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of this section and these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing will 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 will be null and void. The terms of this section will otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.
Severability
If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
Entire Agreement
These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter herein. We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, revise these terms at any time by updating this posting.
