8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION
-
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and BESTSELLER in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and BESTSELLER agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims (including, without limitation, substantive claims and threshold questions of the applicability and scope of this Section 8) arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND BESTSELLER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
-
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 8(a), nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit any right that is required under applicable law to be granted to either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
-
Arbitrator. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, any arbitration between you and BESTSELLER will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting BESTSELLER.
-
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). BESTSELLER’s address for Notice is: BESTSELLER HANDELS B.V., Attention: Legal Department, Koivistokade 1 C, 1013 AC Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or BESTSELLER may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or BESTSELLER must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
-
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, BESTSELLER will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $1,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Delaware, but if the claim is for $1,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse BESTSELLER for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
-
No Class Actions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND BESTSELLER AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY 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 BESTSELLER agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
-
Time Limit on Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NO ACTION ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE BROUGHT BY YOU MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ACCRUAL OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION. If it applies, this period shall not be extended for any reason, except by the written consent of both parties. All statutes or provisions of law which would toll or otherwise affect the running of the period of limitation are hereby waived, and no such statute or provision of law shall operate to extend the period limited in this paragraph, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.
-
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If BESTSELLER makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to BESTSELLER’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to BESTSELLER’s address for Notice, in which case your account with BESTSELLER will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
-
Opt-Out Procedure. You can choose to reject this arbitration agreement by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) in accordance with the terms of this Section. For new users, the Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you use the Service for the first time. You must mail the Opt-Out Notice to BESTSELLER HANDELS B.V., Attention: Legal Department, Koivistokade 1 C, 1013 AC Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Opt-Out Notice must state that you do not agree to this arbitration agreement and must include your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the website or mobile applications to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out of the arbitration agreement, BESTSELLER will likewise not be bound by these arbitration provisions. All other terms of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of the arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us. BESTSELLER users who accepted a previous version of these Terms that included an arbitration agreement, and who did not timely opt out of that arbitration agreement, remain bound by the last arbitration agreement that they accepted. Upon receipt of a valid Opt-Out Notice, BESTSELLER will provide the opting out user with a copy of the arbitration agreement from the last version of the Terms that the user accepted, if any exists.
-
Enforceability. If Section 8(f) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 8 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 8 (except this Section 8(i)) will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 11 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
