HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTES

If you have a problem, a complaint or any other issue with us, our site or services, please bring it to our attention first by emailing us, so we are given a chance to directly communicate with you and try to resolve the issue. If we are not able to come to a solution satisfactory to all parties involved, you can bring an action in court or resort to arbitration, as applicable and subject to the following sections. Please note that any claim or action against us must be filed within 12 months from the date the claim arose. 

BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS WAIVER

The following only applies to US visitors to our site and services.

At our sole discretion, we may require you to submit any disputes arising from these Terms or use of our site and services, including disputes arising from or concerning their interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination, to final and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying the laws of the state of California.

You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention do so within 30 days from the date that you first purchased, subscribed to, or registered for the applicable product or otherwise accessed, visited and/or used our site or service. Your written notification to us must include: (1) your full name and address; (2) the name of the service or product you accessed, visited and/or used; and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve claims with us through arbitration and you do not waive your right to bring a class action in court. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy. 

You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CUSTOMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this arbitration clause is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

WHICH COUNTRY’S LAWS APPLY TO DISPUTES  

If you are a business, these Terms, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer, these Terms, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. However, as a consumer, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident.  Nothing in these Terms, including this section, affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of local law.
