7. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Class Action/Jury Waiver
- Governing Law. To the fullest extent permitted by law, these Terms and any claim or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Jersey without regard to its choice of laws or principles. To the extent the Parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, you agree that any action arising out of this Agreement or your use of our Sites shall be brought in state or federal court in New Jersey, USA, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
- Limitation on Time to File Claims. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAWS, YOU AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SITES WILL BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES.
- Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice. For any dispute you have with Damascus, you agree to first contact us and make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. Therefore, if you intend to initiate arbitration, you must first send Damascus a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). A Notice from you to us must be emailed to Privacy@DamascusBakery.com (the “Notice Address”). Any Notice must include (i) the claimant’s name, address, and email address; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (iii) if you are submitting the Notice, any relevant facts regarding your use of the Sites; (iv) a description of the nature and basis of the specific relief sought, including the damages sought, if any, and the method by which you calculated such damages; (v) a personally signed statement by the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice; and (vi) documentation sufficient to verify your identity and your use of the Sites. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your specific dispute, and no other person’s dispute. Upon receipt of a completed Notice, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days. If the parties cannot reach an agreement to resolve the issues identified in the Notice within 60 days after the completed Notice is received, a party may commence mediation as set forth below. Compliance with the “Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice” requirement discussed in this paragraph is a condition precedent to initiating mediation or arbitration.
- Mandatory Mediation. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute through the informal process described above, then prior to initiating arbitration, the Parties agree to submit the dispute to mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Mediation Procedures and conducted in the Essex County of New Jersey. The mediation shall be conducted by a single mediator mutually agreed upon by the Parties; if the Parties cannot agree on a mediator within 14 days of the demand for mediation, AAA shall appoint one. Each Party shall bear its own costs of mediation, and the Parties shall share equally the mediator’s fees and any administrative costs. The mediation shall be completed within 45 days of the initial mediation demand unless extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, either Party may then initiate binding arbitration as set forth below. Compliance with this “Mandatory Mediation” section is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. This mediation requirement is consistent with and shall be interpreted in accordance with applicable New Jersey Laws.
- Arbitration Process. Unless resolved through the mandatory mediation process described above, any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in the Essex County of New Jersey by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules, except that no punitive damages may be awarded. The arbitration decision shall be final and binding. The prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, and that a judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the Essex County of New Jersey or at another mutually agreed location. Either Party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or later have to (i) the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in a court or arbitration setting within or outside the United States of America and (ii) any claim that any action or proceeding brought in any such court or arbitration has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
If 25 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, AAA shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 demands per batch, with the discretion to create additional batches if AAA finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each side as set forth in AAA’s Mass Arbitration Services and Supplementary Rules. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class or mass arbitrations of any kind. We reserve all rights and defenses as to each and every demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and we shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- Website Accessibility and Cookie Use Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any claim, dispute, or cause of action arising out of or related to the accessibility of our Sites (including but not limited to claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, or any state or local accessibility law or regulation) or our use of cookies, tracking technologies, or similar data collection tools on our Sites (including but not limited to claims under any state consumer privacy statute, the California Consumer Privacy Act, or any analogous law) shall be subject to the following additional requirements: (i) the claimant must provide written notice identifying with specificity each alleged accessibility barrier or cookie/tracking violation, including the specific URL(s) affected, the specific assistive technology or browser used, and the date(s) on which the barrier or violation was encountered; (ii) we shall have 60 days from receipt of such notice to cure or remediate the identified barrier or violation before the claimant may initiate mediation or arbitration; (iii) the claimant must demonstrate that they personally encountered the alleged barrier or violation during their own bona fide use of our Sites for purposes other than testing for accessibility or privacy compliance; (iv) any damages recoverable for such claims shall be limited to actual, documented out-of-pocket losses directly caused by the alleged barrier or violation, and in no event shall aggregate damages exceed $500 per claimant; and (v) the claimant shall bear the burden of proving standing, including that they suffered a concrete and particularized injury-in-fact that is fairly traceable to the alleged barrier or violation. Claims not satisfying these requirements are premature and subject to dismissal without prejudice.
(g) CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY IN ARBITRATION, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. THIS MEANS THAT YOU AND DAMASCUS MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY THIRD PARTY.
You may opt out of binding arbitration and this class action and jury trial waiver by notifying us in writing within 30 days of your initial agreement to or acceptance of these Terms, unless a longer period is required by applicable laws. Your written notification must be delivered to us at Privacy@DamascusBakery.com within 30 days after you have accepted these Terms and must include your name, your address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration.
