Resolution of Disputes: Binding Arbitration; No Class or Representative Actions or Arbitrations

Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. User waives any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accepts the use of binding arbitration; provided, however, that User has the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. “Dispute” as used in these Terms of Use, means any controversy or claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the subject matter of these Terms of Use, or your use of the Services.

User agrees that any Dispute is personal to User and CalExotics, and that any such Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither User nor CalExotics agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither User nor CalExotics agrees that a dispute can be brought as a class representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.

These Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and User and CalExotics agree that the terms of this “Resolution of Disputes” provision will be governed by, construed, and enforced, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1-9, (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Moreover, this “Resolution of Disputes” provision shall survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

The arbitration of any Dispute will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). In the event that the AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, User and CalExotics agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that User and CalExotics mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, User and CalExotics are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be started and conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules, and other information about the AAA and arbitration, are readily available at http://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. User and CalExotics agree that the AAA Rules shall be subject to the provisions of these Terms of Use, changes in procedures that the AAA may make from time to time in its AAA Rules or successor rules, and the following modifications:

  • As limited by the FAA and the provisions of these Terms of Use, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to (a) make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability; and (b) grant all rights and remedies that would have been available to you or CalExotics in a court of law, including the power to permit discovery as would have been available in a court of law; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have the power to conduct a class arbitration or representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms of Use as stated above;
  • In making any award, the arbitrator will be subject to the provisions of these Terms of Use, including the “Limitations of Liability” provision above, and will not have jurisdiction to make an award to any party to the arbitration contrary to the Limitations of Liability provision; provided, however, that if the enforceability of any of these restrictions is limited by the applicable substantive law, that restriction will only be enforced to the extent permitted by such law or rules;
  • To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each party shall be responsible for the cost of preparing and presenting its case in arbitration, and shall each pay one half of any arbitration costs and fees charged by the arbitrator;
  • In the case of face-to-face arbitration proceedings, the proceedings shall be conducted at a location that is reasonably convenient to you; and
  • The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing.

Choice of Law

With the exception that the enforceability of the “Resolution of Disputes” provision above is governed both procedurally and substantively by the AAA, the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute that might arise between User and CalExotics.

Indemnity

User agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CalExotics, including its partners, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their and our directors, officers, managers, agents, contractors, partners, and employees, from any loss, liability, claim, damages, costs, expenses or demand (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, or the Services. User’s obligation to indemnify includes, but is not limited to, disputes, claims, or lawsuits arising out of or in connection with: (i) User’s acquisition or use of products or services made available through the Services; (ii) any termination or suspension of your right to participate in any awards programs offered by CalExotics; (iii) your access to or use of the Services; or (iv) any violation of these Terms of Use.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver of these Terms of Use by CalExotics shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure of CalExotics to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements incorporated by reference therein, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior written agreements, arrangements, communications and understandings and all prior and contemporaneous oral agreements, arrangements, communications and understandings, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and CalExotics with respect to the Services.

General Terms

CalExotics’ performance of these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal process and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of CalExotics’ right to comply with law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Services or information provided to or gathered by CalExotics with respect to such use.

The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
