-
ARBITRATION
-
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. AS APPLICABLE, YOU MAY CONTINUE TO HAVE CERTAIN RIGHTS TO OBTAIN RELIEF FROM A FEDERAL OR STATE REGULATORY AGENCY.
-
Binding Arbitration. The arbitration process established by this Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. You have the right to take any dispute that qualifies for disposition in a small claims court to that type of court rather than arbitration. All other disputes arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal or equitable theory) must be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration. This includes any dispute based on any product, service or advertising having a connection with these Terms and Conditions and any dispute not finally resolved by a small claims court. You and we are collectively referred to in this Section 14 (Arbitration) as “Parties” and each individually a “Party”.
-
The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator using the procedures described by this Section 14 (Arbitration). If any portion of this is determined to be unenforceable, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect. The arbitration of any dispute shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement, which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. You have the right to be represented by counsel in an arbitration. In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of this Agreement and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify its terms.
-
NO DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS. ANY CLAIM BROUGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. 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. 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 BASED ON THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM OR CLAIMS. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES OR FEES ARE EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED BY A STATUTE. YOU AND DONNA J WELLNESS BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
-
Arbitration Information and Filing Procedures. Before you take a dispute to arbitration to small claims court, you must first contact our customer account representatives at donna@donnajskincare.com and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before Donna J Wellness takes a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within sixty (60) days from the date you or Donna J Wellness is notified by the other of a dispute, then either Party may contact the AAA in writing at AAA Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043, or may contact the AAA using AAA WebFile at org, and request arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the AAA’s Arbitration Rules and its fees are available from the AAA on the Internet at www.adr.org or by contacting us at the address provided above. The arbitration will be based only on the written submissions of the Parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute, unless either Party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA’s telephonic, on-line, or in-person procedures. Additional AAA charges may apply for these procedures. Any in-person arbitration will be conducted at a location that the AAA selects in the state of your primary residence. Arbitrations under this Agreement shall be confidential as permitted by federal law.
-
Fees and Expenses of Arbitration. You must pay the applicable AAA filing fee when you submit your written request for arbitration to the AAA. The AAA’s filing fee and administrative expenses for a document arbitration will be allocated according to the AAA’s Rules. If you elect an arbitration process other than a documents-only arbitration or arbitration by telephone hearing, you must pay your allocated share of any higher administrative fees and costs for the process you select. You also may ask the AAA about the availability of a pro bono arbitrator and/or a waiver or deferment of fees and expenses from the AAA; more information about the AAA’s rules and policies is available at the AAA’s Web site, at www.adr.org. Unless applicable substantive law provides otherwise, each Party will pay its own expenses to participate in the arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and expenses for witnesses, document production and presentation of evidence. If you prevail before the arbitrator, however, you may seek to recover the AAA’s fees and the expenses of the arbitrator from us. If we prevail before the arbitrator, and if we show that you acted in bad faith in bringing your Claim, then we may seek to recover the AAA’s fees and expenses of the arbitrator from you.
