- Disputes If a dispute of any kind arises, we want to understand and address your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact us at hello@celiacollective.com with any dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal and inexpensive dispute resolution process requiring individual arbitration. “Disputes” between you and Company, including Company Parties, are defined for the purposes of these Terms to include any claim, controversy, or dispute (whether involving contract, tort, equitable, statutory, or any other legal theory) between you and Company including, but not limited to, any claims relating in any way to these Terms (including its breach, termination, or interpretation), any other aspect of our relationship, Company advertising, and any use of Company services.
- Binding Individual Arbitration You and Company agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. Any arbitration under these terms will be only be on a individual basis; class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted. You acknowledge that you are waiving your rights to have your case decided by a jury and to participate in a class action against Company, and that you have read and understood this clause. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by ADR Services, Inc. or any other neutral service agreed to by the parties according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Los Angeles, California, or another mutually agreeable location, or a location ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, Company will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Company also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns. These Terms are entered into and performed in the State of California, United States of America. It is governed by and shall be construed under the laws of California, exclusive of any choice of law or conflict of law provisions. Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by you relating to any Dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.
- Termination; Survival. If you violate these Terms, your ability to use the Platform may be terminated by Company at its sole discretion. Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate your access to the Platform, or any portion thereof, for any reason whatsoever without prior notice in its sole discretion. These actions are in addition to any other right or remedy Company may have available at law. Further, Company shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such termination or discontinuance. You may terminate these Terms by ceasing to access and use the Platform. Upon any termination of these Terms you must immediately cease use of the Platform. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the disclaimers, limitations on liability, termination and your warranties and indemnities shall survive any termination of these Terms.
