7. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. These Terms shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the United States of America and the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
- Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at info@pinkys.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Site. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. You agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations for a period of at least thirty (30) days from written notification by one party to the other, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
- Confidential Mediation. Any disputes between the parties hereto, which the parties cannot resolve between themselves as provided above, shall be initially redressed by mediation. The mediation shall be scheduled with or without the involvement of legal counsel at the offices of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) closest to Glendale California, and shall take place within sixty (60) days of notice of said mediation being sent to the Parties. The cost of the mediation shall be borne equally by the parties, and such mediation shall engage a sole mediator selected from the panel of mediators of the JAMS. The parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon a mediator, and if there is no agreement, the mediator shall be selected by the JAMS. The parties agree to keep the proceedings of the mediation, all events leading up to the mediation and the outcome of the mediation confidential. Should mediation fail to resolve the parties’ differences, the parties agree to submit their dispute to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth below.
- Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed-upon solution through the informal procedure and mediation as provided above, then either you or we may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Such arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of your agreement to these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of your agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
You understand that, absent this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You further understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
- Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and Pinky’s each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in our respective individual capacities only and not as a class action, and you and Pinky’s each expressly waive our respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
-
Exclusive venue for litigation. You and Pinky’s expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, for any litigation that is not required to be resolved by arbitration as required herein, other than small claims court actions. In the event of litigation relating to these Terms or the Site, you agree to waive, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to a jury trial, except where a jury trial waiver is not permissible under applicable law.
8. General
- Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Pinky’s without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
- Severability. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force.
- No Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Pinky’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
