Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
A. Disputes. The terms of this Section 14 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Belvoir Media Group, LLC. For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Belvoir Media Group, LLC arising under or relating to your use of the Sites, Materials, or products (including Subscriptions), these Terms, or any other transaction involving you and Belvoir Media Group, LLC, (“Services”) or subject matter related thereto, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND BELVOIR MEDIA GROUP, LLC AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY BELVOIR MEDIA GROUP, LLC FOR: (1) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION; (2) PATENT INFRINGEMENT; (3) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE; (4) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION; OR (5) ANY OTHER CLAIM FOR WHICH INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IS APPROPRIATE IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF BELVOIR MEDIA GROUP, LLC.
B. Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section by sending a written letter to Belvoir Media Group, LLC at Contact Us within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms (including your first use of the Services) that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; (3) and your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
C. Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Belvoir Media Group, LLC must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Belvoir Media Group, LLC must be addressed to Belvoir Media Group, P.O. Box 2626, Norwalk CT 06856-2626 (“Belvoir Media Group, LLC Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. If Belvoir Media Group, LLC and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Belvoir Media Group, LLC may proceed to mediation as articulated in this Section. You and Belvoir Media Group, LLC will work in good faith to schedule the informal conference at a mutually convenient time. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution conference, but you shall also fully participate in such discussions. The arbitrator may dismiss any arbitration brought without first proceeding through the informal dispute resolution conference.
D. Binding Arbitration. You and Belvoir Media Group, LLC agree: (1) to arbitrate all Disputes between you and Belvoir Media Group, LLC pursuant to the provision of these Terms; (2) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce; (3) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (4) this Section shall survive termination in these Terms.
E. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
F. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND BELVOIR MEDIA GROUP, LLC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND BELVOIR MEDIA GROUP, LLC AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHAL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.
G. Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and be governed by the applicable AAA rules to the Dispute; except AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the AAA rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
H. Hearing Format. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in California, but may proceed telephonically in the event the total amount of the claim does not exceed $2,500 U.S. dollars (if the claimant so chooses). In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, in any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Belvoir Media Group, LLC or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Belvoir Media Group, LLC is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
I. Arbitration Fees. Belvoir Media Group, LLC will pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you, for all AAA (as applicable) filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Belvoir Media Group, LLC pursuant to these Terms. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
J. Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Belvoir Media Group, LLC agree that if Belvoir Media Group, LLC makes any material amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in these Terms, Belvoir Media Group, LLC will notify you and you will have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments by sending a written letter to the Belvoir Media Group, LLC Notice Address that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; and (3) your request to opt-out of such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these Terms, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.
K. Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms.
