Governing Law; Arbitration
The Terms shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed by and under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law principles.
Any and all claims or disputes (“Claims”), regardless of whether such Claims arise under federal, state or local statute, rule or regulation, or at common law, which relate in any way to the Site, your use of the Site, the Services or THE COMPANY shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in any court or quasi-judicial forum of any sort. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law expressly apply to these Terms. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is 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 as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Legal Department, Van de Velde North America Inc., 104 Fifth Avenue, New York 10011, New York. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE BE CONDUCTED ON A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BASIS. The foregoing class action waiver applies to any and all Claims, regardless of the nature of any such Claims. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you waive any right to a jury trial, and no such action may be conducted on a class, consolidated or representative action basis.
General
Certain violations of the Terms, as determined by THE COMPANY, may result in immediate termination of your access to the Site without prior notice to you. New York state law and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions, will govern the Terms. Foreign laws do not apply. The United Nations on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and any laws based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) shall not apply to the Terms. All disputes relating to the Terms or the Site will be heard in the courts located in New York, NY. If any of the Terms are found to be inconsistent with applicable law, then such term shall be interpreted to reflect the intentions of the parties, and no other terms will be modified. THE COMPANY’s failure to enforce any of the Terms is not a waiver of such term. The Terms are the entire agreement between you and THE COMPANY and supersede all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements between you and THE COMPANY about the Site and/or the Services. The proprietary rights, disclaimer of warranties, representations made by you, indemnities, limitations of liability and general provisions shall survive any termination of the Terms.
