16. Arbitration

General

We believe that arbitration offers a prompt and efficient way to resolve any dispute, controversy or other claim between us (whether arising under any legal or equitable theory, and given the broadest meaning enforceable under law, a “Dispute”).

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and we agree that any and all Disputes will be resolved exclusively and finally using binding arbitration and will only be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action, except as provided below. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, the discovery and other procedures are more limited and less formal, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court in an individual proceeding (including attorney’s fees).

Acceptance of these Terms of Use constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate the Dispute in any court, the opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury, and the ability to proceed in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action, except as provided below.

Right to Opt Out

Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if you opt out of arbitration within 30 days from the date that you first consent to these Terms of Use (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). To opt out of arbitration, simply [email] us at [INSERT] the following information: (1) your name; (2) your address; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with us through arbitration. Please be assured that any decision to opt out of arbitration will have no adverse effect on your relationship with us. But, we do have to enforce the Opt-Out Deadline so keep in mind that any opt out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you will be required to pursue any Dispute in arbitration.

Arbitration Procedures
If the Dispute is not resolved as provided under Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution, either you or we may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, will arbitrate all disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of the arbitration provisions in these Terms of Use.

The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. These Terms of Use govern in the event of any conflict with the applicable arbitration rules.

Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Disputes or otherwise preside over any form of a class, consolidated, representative or similar action, unless both you and we specifically agree following initiation of the arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in English, closed to the public and confidential. All related records shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award.

The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) may govern the arbitrability of Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or conditions precedent to suit.

Nothing herein will preclude us from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration (such as orders to stay a court action or compel arbitration), temporary restraining orders or similar relief, or redress for potential violations of our intellectual property rights, from any court of competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration Award

The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

Location of Arbitration

Unless we mutually agree on a different location, arbitration shall occur in Seattle, Washington. You waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum, and you agree not to sue us or bring arbitration in any other forum.

To minimize the costs and burdens of associated with arbitration, you and we agree that the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. You and we further agree that the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties.

Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs

So long as you place a request in writing prior to commencement of the arbitration, we will pay all arbitration filing, administration and arbitrator fees and associated costs and expenses in any Dispute involving claims totaling less than $10,000. You will be responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including the fees and costs of any attorney or expert witness you use. In addition to any fees and costs recoverable under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with us as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.

Waiver of Class Action, Jury and Other Rights

You acknowledge and agree that, subject to your ability to pursue a Dispute in court by complying with the procedures above under “Right to Opt Out,” your acceptance of these Terms of Use constitutes your waiver of certain rights, including your right to litigate a Dispute in a public court before a judge or jury; your ability to participate in a class, consolidated, representative or similar action; your ability to conduct discovery and other procedures except under AAA rules; and your right to certain remedies, relief or other.

17. Governing Law

All litigation, court proceedings, arbitration proceedings, mediation proceedings, lawsuits, court hearings and other hearings or actions initiated in connection with the Sites, Apps and/or the Content must and will be venued exclusively in Vancouver, BC, Canada. These Terms of Use and the relationship between you and AMARLA will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws of any jurisdiction. The International Sale of Goods Act of British Columbia and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply in any way to these Terms of Use or to the transactions contemplated by these Terms of Use.

18. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and these Terms of Use will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such provision had never been contained herein. Any headings or titles herein are for convenience only.

19. Language

The official language of these Terms of Use exclusively shall be, and all communications and agreements between AMARLA and you and any proceedings in connection with these Terms of Use and/or your use of the Sites and Apps, exclusively shall be made in, the English language.
