Governing Law
These Terms of Use and your use of the Websites or Services are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute between the Parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of Washington, USA.
Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to waive your right to a jury trial and arbitrate certain disputes and claims with genneve and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under these Terms of Use.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or genneve seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or genneve seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and genneve waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Websites or the Services resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute that you have against genneve, you agree to first contact genneve and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to genneve by email at jill@genneve.com or by certified mail addressed to: Jill Angelo, 85 S Atlantic Street, Seattle, WA 98134. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and genneve cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this section, submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or, where applicable, in court. All submitted disputes will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Seattle, Washington in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of JAMS, which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and genneve agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Websites or the Services is personal to you and genneve and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and genneve agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms of Use and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms of Use. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrators, genneve, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrators will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.
You and genneve agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and genneve will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by genneve, genneve will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and genneve agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Washington and the United States sitting in Seattle, Washington have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use, the Websites or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and genneve will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this section by emailing jill@genneve.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name, address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with this section.
If any portion of this arbitration section is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the arbitration section or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the arbitration section; 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. Further, if any part of this arbitration section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section will be enforceable.
Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms of Use is adjudged to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the parties agree that the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall not be affected thereby, that the provision in question may be replaced by the lawful provision that most nearly embodies the original intention of the parties, and that these Terms of Use shall in any event otherwise remain valid and enforceable. In no event will genneve be deemed in default hereunder based on delay in, or failure of, performance (other than the payment of money) if caused by floods, fires, storms or other acts of God, by war or acts of public enemy, including terrorism, or civil disturbance, strikes, lockouts, shortage of labor, labor disputes or labor trouble, problems in obtaining raw materials or production facilities, power failure, equipment failure, transportation shortages or failures, actions of any governmental or other authority, or any other cause not within genneve’s reasonable control. These Terms of Use are for the benefit of, and shall be binding upon the parties. No third-party shall be considered a third-party beneficiary hereunder. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without the prior written consent of genneve. You and genneve are independent contractors with respect to these Terms of Use and the Website and Services.
