This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this Terms or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of this Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

 

By agreeing to this Terms of Use, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with Pontiac Street Market  as follows:

 

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach Pontiac Street Market ’ support department at pontiacstreetmarket@parkview.com. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or these Terms directly through consultation with the Pontiac Street Market  support department, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

 

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law

 

The Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), regulates the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and preempts all state laws. If the Federal Arbitration is found not applicable to any issue that arises from or relates to this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be governed by the law of your state of residence.

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Terms (including the Privacy Notice’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of the Platform or the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Terms or the Privacy Notice, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Terms or Privacy Notice is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com ); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Pontiac Street Market  at Attn: Legal; pontiacstreetmarket@parkview.com.

To the extent, the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Pontiac Street Market  will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Pontiac Street Market  will pay the fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

 

The parties understand that absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, the arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Indiana, the United States of America and you and Pontiac Street Market  agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Merrillville, Indiana in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Jury Trial Waiver

By entering into these terms, you agree that, with respect to any claim(s) within the scope of the terms concerning and rising from arbitration terms, you and Pontiac Street Market  are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.

 

 

Class, Collective, and Representative Action Waiver

 

The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND Pontiac Street Market  AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

 

Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

 

30-Day Right To Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you use on Pontiac Street Market ) written notice of your decision to opt-out to Pontiac Street Market  ---Attn: Legal; pontiacstreetmarket@parkview.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Pontiac Street Market  will not be bound by them.

Changes To This Section: Pontiac Street Market  will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Platform, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Platform or sent to you.

 

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to This Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.

 

 

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or cessation of use of the Platform or the Services.

 

ATTORNEYS FEES. You acknowledge and agree that each party shall pay the fees and costs of its own attorneys, experts, and witnesses incurred in connection with any arbitration or court proceeding between the parties notwithstanding any prevailing parties’ attorneys’ fees provision a part of any statute under which you may bring a claim.

 

CHOICE OF LAW. The Terms shall be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the state of California. The validity, effect, and enforceability of the arbitration provisions of the Terms and of the waiver of class action lawsuit and waiver of class-wide arbitration, if challenged, are to be determined solely by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
