READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM COMPANY.
With the exception of the Process described below, this arbitration agreement applies to and governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between You and Company that arises out of or relates to, directly or indirectly: (a) this Agreement, including the formation, existence, breach, termination, validity, or enforceability thereof; (b) the Application, including access to or use of the Application and the Content and Services; or (c) or any other aspect of your relationship or engagements with Company (each, a “Claim,” and, collectively, “Claims”). This arbitration agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before or after your acceptance of this Agreement and shall survive termination of this Agreement. You and Company agree that this this arbitration agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law.
Neither You nor Company will be entitled to: (a) join, consolidate or combine Claims by or against others in any arbitration with the exception of applicable arbitrator rules related to mass or multiple arbitration filings and our agreement below; or (b) include in any arbitration any Claims as a representative or member of a class.
For any dispute with Company, You agree to first contact Company and attempt to resolve the dispute with Company informally by sending a personally-signed notice to:
Kith + Kin
24A Trolley Square #1264
Wilmington, DE 19806-3334
You must include your name and residence address, Your phone number, the email address You use for Your Application account, and a clear and detailed statement of Your Claim (including requested relief). If Company has a dispute with You, Company will send this notice to the most recent contact information Company has for You. For a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), You and Company agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the dispute. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone or video settlement conference to aid in the resolution of the dispute. If such a conference is requested, You and a Company representative will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). The conference will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period. Completion of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process (“Process”) is a condition precedent to initiating a Claim in arbitration. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any arbitration shall be stayed. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in arbitration. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of this Process.
Any arbitration will be conducted in the City of Collegeville or the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, unless You and Company agree otherwise. JAMS may require You to pay a fee for the initiation of Your case, unless You apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS. The award rendered by the arbitrator may include Your costs of arbitration, Your reasonable attorney’s fees, and Your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; however, Company may collect its fees and costs if the arbitrator finds any Claims to be frivolous or brought in bad faith; and (c) You may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve You of Your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and Company also agree that, if more than one dispute arises against a party regarding the same or substantially similar issues filed by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90) day period, our respective Claim(s) will be arbitrated in a coordinated fashion such that JAMS shall (1) administer the arbitration demands together; (2) appoint one arbitrator for the coordinated demands; and (3) issue one set of case management, hearing and administrative fees due per side, one procedural calendar, and one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the provisions of this paragraph, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS shall appoint a sole standing (administrative) arbitrator to determine the applicability of this paragraph and process. The administrative arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Company from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights; or as preventing You or Company from asserting or transferring claims to a small claims court, if Your Claims qualify, and prior to any scheduling order is issued, and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances on only an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
With the exception of the notice Process described above, if this arbitration agreement is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the remaining provisions of this arbitration agreement, which shall remain in force, or on the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining Claims on an individual basis pursuant to this arbitration agreement.
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE APPLICATION FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO BOTH COURT ACTIONS AS WELL AS CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS COMPANY AGREES OTHERWISE OR THE ARBITRATION PANEL SO REQUIRES FOR MULTI-CASE FILINGS, YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND AS PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER. If this class action and jury trial waiver is found to be void, unenforceable, or unlawful, in whole or in part, the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall be severed. Severance of the void, unenforceable, or unlawful provision, in whole or in part, shall have no impact on the remaining provisions of this paragraph, which shall remain in full force and effect.
All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding that is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 21 shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Pennsylvania, in each case located in the City of Collegeville or the City of Philadelphia, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against You for breach of this Agreement in Your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over You by such courts and to venue in such courts.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
