DISPUTES
-
Governing Law and Jurisdiction. You agree that this Agreement or any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, common law and equitable claims) between you and Totei arising from or relating to this Agreement, its interpretation or breach, termination or validity, the relationships which result from this Agreement, the Site, Totei’s promotional activities, or any related transaction shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules. Subject to the arbitration requirement below, the state and federal courts in New York County, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any Claim (as defined below). Any Claim must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary. In the event any such claim or cause of action is not filed within such one (1) year period, such Claim shall be forever barred.
-
Arbitration Requirement; Class Action Waiver.
-
Arbitration. Any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether preexisting, present or future, and including statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) between you and Totei arising from or relating to this Agreement, its interpretation or breach, termination or validity, the relationships which result from this Agreement, the Site, Totei advertising or any related transaction (a “Claim”) shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with the consumer arbitration rules then in effect, or any other established alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by you and Totei. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
-
Class Action Waiver. The arbitration will be limited solely to the dispute between you and Totei. Neither you nor Totei shall be entitled to join or consolidate Claims by other users or arbitrate or litigate any Claim as a representative IN A CLASS ACTION OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.
-
Arbitration Process. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service or any applicable arbitration rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration provision and class action waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and Totei and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Totei shall pay your and its own costs and attorneys’ fees. However, if you or Totei prevails on a statutory Claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law. Arbitration shall take place in the State of New York.
-
Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Totei can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify Totei within thirty (30) days of first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement by emailing Totei at administration@totei.com (opens in new window). Your notice must include your name and address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS.
