Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.

These Terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles. With regard to matters for which we believe it necessary to seek equitable relief, or, in our discretion, to recover monies owed to it by you, we may seek any available remedy at law or in equity from a court of competent jurisdiction. Except with regard to the foregoing matter, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with these Terms which has not been settled through negotiation within a period of ninety (90) days after the date on which either party shall first have notified the other party in writing of the existence of a dispute shall be settled by final and binding arbitration under the International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in the State of New York in the English language. An arbitral award may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the ICDR Rules, the following additional procedures and rules shall apply to any such arbitration:

  • * The arbitrator may not award or assess punitive damages against either party;
  • * Each party, at the discretion of the arbitrator, may have limited prehearing discovery, including written interrogatories, document discovery and depositions of witnesses who are expected to be called to testify at the hearing;
  • * The arbitrator shall render his/her award promptly upon conclusion of the hearing, together with a written opinion; and
  • * Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of the arbitration or any appeal and one-half (1/2) of the fees and costs of the arbitrator, subject to the power of the arbitrator, in his/her sole discretion, to award all such reasonable costs, expenses and fees to the prevailing party.

 

Not withstanding any language to the contrary in these Terms, the parties hereby agree: that any arbitral award may be appealed pursuant to the AAA’s Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules (“Appellate Rules”); that any arbitral award rendered by the arbitrator shall, at a minimum, be a reasoned award; and that any arbitral award shall not be considered final until after the time for filing the notice of appeal pursuant to the Appellate Rules has expired. Appeals must be initiated within thirty (30) days of receipt of any arbitral award, as defined by Rule A-3 of the Appellate Rules, by filing a Notice of Appeal with any AAA/ICDR office. Following the appeal process the decision rendered by the appeal tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

General Provisions

English has been used in the preparation of these Terms, and English shall be the controlling language with respect to these Terms and their interpretation.

Any failure by us to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or the right to enforce same.

These Terms do not, and will not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and us. If any portion of these Terms is held to be invalid, such holding shall not invalidate the other provisions of these Terms.
