16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: READ CAREFULLY – THIS AGREEMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
A. Mandatory Arbitration. YOU AND ANY “ARBITRATING ENTITY” (WHICH INCLUDES FICARI, ANY THIRD PARTY DELIVERY SERVICE PROVIDER THAT DELIVERS OR ATTEMPTS TO DELIVER YOUR MERCHANDISE, AND ANY OF ITS OR THEIR AFFILIATES, PARENT COMPANIES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIVISIONS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, PREDECESSORS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS) AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN YOU AND ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM THAT RELATES IN ANY WAY TO ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY, TO ANY TRANSACTION WITH ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY, TO ANY WARRANTY MADE BY ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY, TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE, TO THE FINANCING OF ANY PURCHASE FROM ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY, TO THE DELIVERY, ATTEMPTED DELIVERY, OR INSTALLATION OF YOUR MERCHANDISE, TO THE USE, COLLECTION OR STORAGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, OR TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE PRIVACY NOTICE, INCLUDING DISPUTES OR CLAIMS UNDER FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL OR STATE STATUTES, COMMON LAW, OR TORT LAW, WHETHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE ("DISPUTE") MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, AND NOT BY A COURT OR JURY, EXCEPT THAT YOU OR ANY ARBITRATING ENTITY MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF THE DISPUTE QUALIFIES FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND THE MATTER PROCEEDS ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NOT A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
You and any Arbitrating Entity waive the right to a trial by jury and any right to have a Dispute heard in court. In arbitration, Disputes are resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited than in court, and the arbitrator's decision is subject to limited review by courts. The arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, including monetary damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory relief. Judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. A licensed arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will conduct the arbitration, and the amount and nature of the award may not exceed the relief allowed by applicable law. The arbitration will be conducted in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location. The Arbitration Act’s Rules will apply.
Delegation/Arbitrability. The Arbitration Act applies to this Agreement and exclusively governs its interpretation and enforcement. The arbitrator and not any federal, provincial, or local court or agency, shall have the authority to decide, and shall decide all issues or disputes relating to the meaning, validity, formation, enforceability, interpretation, scope, and application of this Agreement (including “gateway” issues of arbitrability), these Terms of Use and the Privacy Notice and any applicable warranty, except that a court will resolve any question regarding the meaning, validity or enforceability of Section B of this Agreement. The term "Dispute" and the requirement to arbitrate will be broadly interpreted. The Agreement will survive termination of any warranty.
B. Arbitration Class Action Waiver. You and any Arbitrating Entity agree that the arbitration will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not on a class, representative, consolidated, or private attorney general basis. A Dispute may not be consolidated with a claim brought or discovery conducted by any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not award relief to any person or entity other than a party to the arbitration proceeding and may only award such relief as is necessary to provide relief to a party to the arbitration proceeding. If a court deems any portion of this Section B invalid or unenforceable, then Sections A and C of the Agreement will be null and void.
C. Fees and Costs Relating to Arbitration. If your total damage claims are $25,000 or less, not including your attorneys' fees: (1) the arbitrator may award you your reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees, and costs if you prevail in the arbitration; (2) the arbitrator may not award any Arbitrating Entity its attorneys' fees, expert fees, or costs unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith; and (3) Arbitrating Entity will bear all filing fees and administrative fees and either reimburse you for any such fees that the Arbitration Act requires you to pay upon initiating arbitration, (a) Arbitrating Entity will bear the arbitrator's fees and expenses, and (b) where no disclosed claims or counterclaims exceed $25,000, the Dispute shall be resolved by the submission of documents only/desk arbitration, except that any party may ask for a hearing or the arbitrator may decide that a hearing is necessary. Except as otherwise provided herein, all filing fees, administrative fees, and arbitrator fees and expenses will be paid in accordance with the applicable rules.
If You or any Arbitrating Entity files or causes to be filed in any court, agency, or other non-arbitral tribunal a Dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Agreement (an “Arbitrable Suit”), the defendant/respondent may provide written notice to the plaintiff/claimant (or its attorney) of its duty to arbitrate the Arbitrable Suit under this Agreement. If the plaintiff/claimant does not dismiss the Arbitrable Suit within 14 calendar days of such notice, and the defendant/respondent successfully moves to compel arbitration, the plaintiff/claimant shall be responsible for paying the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by the defendant/respondent in responding to and moving to compel arbitration of the Arbitrable Suit. Any request for such fees and costs shall be addressed to and decided by an arbitrator as if it were a Dispute and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. Should any court, agency, arbitrator, or other tribunal determine that this paragraph is void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be severed from and not affect the validity of the agreement to arbitrate.
D. Non-Arbitration Class Action and Jury Waiver. You and any Arbitrating Entity agree that if for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration: (1) you and any Arbitrating Entity waive any right to a jury trial; (2) the Dispute will proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis; and (3) neither you nor any Arbitrating Entity may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, representative, consolidated, or private attorney general proceeding.
E. Severability. If any part of this Terms of Use is found invalid or unenforceable, then the other parts of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect, except that if any part of Section 16(B) is found invalid or unenforceable, then Sections16 (A) and (C) of the Agreement will be null and void, and the other parts of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
17. Assignment. We may assign our rights and delegate our duties under these Terms of Use at any time to any party without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms of Use without our prior written consent.
18. Interpretation. These Terms of Use, and, as applicable, are the entire agreement between you and FICARI with respect to your access to and use of the Site. FICARI's failure to enforce any provision in these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing and signed by FICARI. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held invalid, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be considered severable from the remaining provisions and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, except as set forth in Section 16 above. The headings in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms. These Terms will inure to the benefit of FICARI's successors and assigns.
19. Survival. Any provisions of these Terms of Use that are intended to survive termination (including any provisions regarding indemnification or limitation of our liability and the Dispute Resolution/Arbitration Agreement will continue in effect beyond any termination of these Terms of Use or of your access to the Site.
