- Dispute Resolution
Certain portions of this Section 8 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and NeikaSimone.com agree that we intend that this Section 8 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 8 can only be amended by mutual agreement.
A. First – Try To Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Service, the Content, your User-Generated Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of NeikaSimone.com’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute,” which includes those actions set forth in Section 8.D), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 8.A. Your notice to us must be sent to: By mail: General Counsel NeikaSimone.com PO Box 33355 Las Vegas, NV 89133 By e-mail: info@NeikaSimone.com For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, NeikaSimone.com and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or NeikaSimone.com to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and NeikaSimone.com, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
B. Forums For Alternative Dispute Resolution
- (i) Arbitration.If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 8.A within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then either you or we may submit the Dispute to formal arbitration in accordance with this Section 8.B. If we cannot resolve an Excluded Dispute as set forth in Section 8.A within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then either you or we may submit the Excluded Dispute to formal arbitration only if you and NeikaSimone.com consent, in a writing signed by you and an Officer or legal representative of NeikaSimone.com, to have that Excluded Dispute subject to arbitration. In such a case (and only in such a case), that Excluded Dispute will be deemed a “Dispute” for the remainder of this Section 8.B.
Upon expiration of the applicable sixty-day period and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by using our Service, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against NeikaSimone.com, and any claim that NeikaSimone.com may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, or any NeikaSimone.com Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, NeikaSimone.com agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Paragraph 8, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart 8(B)(iv); and 8F. Furthermore, this Paragraph 8 shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
(ii) Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets Section 9 of the Federal Arbitration Act.
(iii) Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and NeikaSimone.com; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
(iv) Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of subpart 8(F) below, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart 8(F) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor NeikaSimone.com shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.
C. Limited Time To File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.A) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
D. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not apply to any legal action taken by NeikaSimone.com to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Service, any Content, your User-Generated Content and/or NeikaSimone.com’s intellectual property rights (including such NeikaSimone.com may claim that may be in dispute), NeikaSimone.com’s operations, and/or NeikaSimone.com’s products or services.
E. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Section 8.F. No Class Action Matters. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. G. Federal and State Courts in Baton Rouge. Except to the extent that arbitration is required in Section 8.B, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute may only be instituted in state or federal court in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Accordingly, you and NeikaSimone.com consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
