DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

We will work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Website, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department.  However, we realize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer’s satisfaction.

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and ARBOR in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and ARBOR agree that ALL disputes arising out of or related to these Terms and/or your use of any of ARBOR’s products, whether based in tort, statute, fraud, contract, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these terms, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.  Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court.  Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is subject to very limited review by courts.  Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim.  Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any other contractual relationship between you and ARBOR.  YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ARBOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement.  Notwithstanding the paragraph above, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if such an action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Arbitration Process.  If you desire to assert a claim against ARBOR, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to ARBOR, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (“Notice”).  The Notice to ARBOR should be addressed to: Arbor Collective, Website Notices, 102 Washington Blvd., Venice, CA 90292 (“Notice Address”). If ARBOR desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you.  A Notice, whether sent by you or by ARBOR, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”).  If ARBOR and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or ARBOR may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.  During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ARBOR or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.  You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) at www.adr.org.  The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA.  The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address.  The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms, including this arbitration agreement.  Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Los Angeles, California.  Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.  The arbitrator shall award reasonable fees to the prevailing party.

No Class Actions.  YOU AND ARBOR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  Further, unless both you and ARBOR agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.  The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.  If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in Los Angeles, California.

California Law Governs. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California.
