SECTION
19 – LEGAL DISPUTES
PLEASE
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL
IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND SPRINGCONTACTS.COM HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE
RESOLVED.
You and Springcontacts.com agree that any claim or dispute at law or
equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or
arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Service, your use of
or access to the Services, or any products or services sold or purchased
through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set
forth in this Legal Disputes Section.
You and Springcontacts.com each
agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between
you and Springcontacts.com relating in any way to or arising out of
this or previous versions of the Terms of Service, your use of or access to Springcontacts.com Services,
or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through Springcontacts.com Services
shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than
in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if
your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and
advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this
Agreement to Arbitrate.
a.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized
Relief
YOU AND SPRINGCONTACTS.COM AGREE THAT EACH OF US
MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A
PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SPRINGCONTACTS.COM AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S
CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED,
REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF
(INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE
INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE
RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED
CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
b.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court
review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can
award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award
to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the Terms of
Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except
that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Terms
of Service, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate
(“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized
Relief”), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer
Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate.
The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The use of
the word “arbitrator” in this provision shall not be construed to
prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration: rather,
the AAA’s rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an
arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Springcontacts.com should be sent to:
Springcontacts.com
Re: Notice of Dispute
P.O. Box 2558
Blue Jay, CA 92317
Springcontacts.com
Springcontacts.com will send any
Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your Springcontacts.com
account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to
date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided, including
a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and
the relief sought.
If you and Springcontacts.com are unable to resolve
the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you
or Springcontacts.com may initiate arbitration
proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the
AAA’s site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in
accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration
must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party.
You may send a copy to Springcontacts.com at the following address:
Springcontacts.com
Re: Notice of Dispute
C/O Northwest Registered Agent, Inc. (#C3184722)
1267 Willis St. STE 200
Redding, California 96001
In the event Springcontacts.com initiates the arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed
form to the physical address we have on file associated with your Springcontacts.com
account. Any settlement offer made by you or Springcontacts.com shall not be
disclosed to the arbitrator.
The arbitration hearing shall be held in San Bernardino County, CA or at
another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000
or less, you or Springcontacts.com may elect to
have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written
submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Springcontacts.com subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an
in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an
in-person hearing is held, you and/or Springcontacts.com may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires
otherwise.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with
applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all
claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound
by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by
rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Springcontacts.com user to the extent required by applicable law. The
arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
- Costs
of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees
will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement
to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your
request, Springcontacts.com will pay all filing,
administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any
request for payment of fees by Springcontacts.com should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your
Demand for Arbitration and Springcontacts.com will
make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. In the event
the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be
frivolous, you agree to reimburse Springcontacts.com for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Springcontacts.com on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated
to pay under the AAA’s rules.
- Severability
With the
exception of any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate
(“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized
Relief”), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this
Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this
Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides
that any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate
(“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized
Relief”) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement
to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement and its
Legal Disputes Section will continue to apply.
- Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate
Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms of Service to the
contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to
Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided
herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was
filed in a legal proceeding against Springcontacts.com prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to
all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have
arisen or may arise between you and Springcontacts.com.
f. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes
Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the
Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular
claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order,
you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you
and Springcontacts.com must be resolved exclusively
by a state or federal court located in San Bernardino County, California. You
and Springcontacts.com agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Bernardino County, California
for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
