DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Informal Dispute Resolution. Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but also in time and energy, both you and K Kane agree to the following dispute resolution procedure: In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to any transaction conducted on the Site, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement or any part of it ("Dispute"), the party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent: (1) to K Kane at K. Kane LLC c/o Ross Pitcoff Law, 250 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10177 or (2) to you at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.
Both you and K Kane agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
Arbitration Agreement. To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, a Dispute must be resolved through binding individual arbitration. You and K Kane agree to give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this Agreement and with respect to any Dispute. You and K Kane expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to: K Kane LLC c/o Ross Pitcoff Law, 250 Park Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10177.
You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. K Kane will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 if the arbitrator rules in your favor on any material aspect of your claim. Arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, unless we elect otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict-of-law rules or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Site users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Site user to the extent required by applicable law. You further agree that if your arbitration claim is filed at or around the time of other similar claims by the same or related counsel, you agree that your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the AAA to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
In lieu of arbitration, either you or K Kane may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Also, even if all parties have opted to litigate a claim in court, you or we may elect arbitration with respect to any claim made by a new party or any claim later asserted by a party in any related or unrelated lawsuit, including modifying an individual claim to assert a class, representative or multi-party claim. Arbitration may be requested at any time, even where there is a pending lawsuit, unless a trial has begun, or a final judgment entered.
Waiver of Right to Bring Class Actions and Representative Claims. All arbitrations must proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the Dispute with the same remedies available in court. However, to the extent permissible by applicable law, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and K Kane agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or K Kane’s respective individual capacities and in so doing you and K Kane hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If it is decided that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.
Other Terms. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after this Agreement terminates or your use of the Sites ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
TERMINATION
With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement, which shall survive the termination of these terms, these terms are effective unless and until terminated by either you or K Kane. You may terminate this Agreement at any time. K Kane. also may terminate this Agreement at any time without notice, and accordingly may deny you access to the Sites, if in our sole judgment you fail to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement. The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this Agreement for all purposes.
SEVERABILITY AND SURVIVAL
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
GENERAL
This Agreement and Arbitration Agreement are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. The waiver of any provision of the Agreement shall not be considered a waiver of any other provision or of K Kane's right to require strict observance of each of the terms herein. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us relating to your use of the Site.
