Arbitration

Legal Disputes - The Requirement to Arbitrate

We hold our relationship with customers in the highest regard. We work hard to make things right with each and every customer. On occasion, a third party may be necessary to help us resolve our disputes, and this agreement limits us to arbitration in all such instances.

Any dispute between you and us, our agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or their breach, termination, or validity, the relationships which result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, "Covered Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration.

WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THAT WE CANNOT RESOLVE INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

WE FURTHER AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO THE LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION/CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHERWISE TO MAKE OR PROCEED WITH ANY CLAIM ON A COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.

This arbitration agreement applies to all agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, employees, and all others acting for, on behalf of, or under our direction, including all affiliated companies (including, but not limited to, parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations). This agreement is binding on you and us, as well as our respective heirs, successors, and assigns.

You and we agree that any claim between us involves commerce under, and is governed exclusively by, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and federal law, and not by any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or in any way imposing requirements beyond or inconsistent with those set forth in the FAA. This agreement, however, does not prevent you from bringing any issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.

Arbitration Scope, Rules, and Requirements

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and discovery and court review of an arbitration award are limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms & Conditions as a court would.

The arbitration shall occur in the United States in the county or parish in which you reside or at such other location in the United States which may be agreed upon by you and us. You may also choose to have any arbitration, whether commenced by you or us, conducted by telephone or based on written submissions only.

The arbitrator has the authority to and shall resolve all claims and issues arising between us, including, but not limited to, international, federal, state, and local statutory, regulatory, constitutional, and common law claims.

This arbitration requirement covers, but is not limited to, any and all claims arising from or related in any way to your use of the Sites, your registration with the Sites, your purchase of or attempt to purchase products from us, and your communications with us.

The arbitrator also has the sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between us.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days' advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. We will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with us and you must provide such notice by e-mail to [Company Customer Service - same as opt out address by brand].

During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitrator will conduct any arbitration proceedings by telephone or videoconference unless in-person appearances are requested by you or us and approved by the arbitrator. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location mutually agreed upon by you and us, or, in the absence of such agreement, at a location determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms of Use and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. We and you agree that any Covered Dispute hereunder will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither us nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private attorney action and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found illegal or unenforceable, the remaining arbitration terms shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). These Terms of Use and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA) and, where otherwise applicable, by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Class Action Waiver

IN THE EVENT THAT ANY CLAIMS BETWEEN US PROCEED IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION, RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO ASSERT CLAIMS BY MEANS (OR AS PART) OF A CLASS ACTION. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT SUCH LITIGATION SHALL BE ASSERTED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLY.

Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND / OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and Potpourri Group 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.
