Dispute Resolution
In the event of any claims, disputes, or other controversies arising out of, or relating to, these Terms and Conditions, the use of this website or information obtained through this website, or any other claims, disputes, or controversies arising out of or relating to this website, or any other World Wide Website owned, operated, licensed, or controlled by us (the “Dispute” and together the “Disputes”), you agree to resolve any Dispute by submitting the Dispute to Retired Judges and Associates through its offices located in Louisville, Kentucky (the “ADR Firm” see http://www.retiredjudgesmediation.com/judges.html), or its successor, for mediation. Any party to the Dispute may commence mediation by providing to ADR Firm and the other parties a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with ADR Firm and with one another in selecting a mediator from ADR Firm’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings promptly, not later than thirty (30) days after such request for mediation. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the mediator or any ADR Firm employees, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
If the Dispute is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current form of AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) before one arbitrator, selected by the agreement of the parties and, failing such agreement within thirty (30) days of the Dispute being submitted for arbitration, by AAA in accordance with the Rules. All hearings shall be held in Los Angeles, CA USA. If AAA ceases to exist and has no successor, then the parties shall submit the Dispute to an established alternative dispute resolution entity in Los Angeles, CA. Any party may initiate arbitration with respect to the Disputes submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. The provisions of this clause may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including attorney fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IS MANDATORY AND BINDING.
The mediation or arbitration of any Dispute shall not be joined or consolidated with the mediation or arbitration of any other Dispute, even if such other Dispute relates to, arises out of or raises similar factual or legal claims.
Failure to insist on strict performance of any of these Terms and Conditions will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by us of any right under these Terms and Conditions will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. These Terms and Conditions will be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of California, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law. You specifically consent to personal jurisdiction in California in connection with any dispute between you and us arising out of or pertaining to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions. The parties to these Terms and Conditions each agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute between the parties arising out of these Terms and Conditions or pertaining to the subject matter of these Terms and Conditions will be in the state and federal courts in California. To the extent allowed by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of the website must be brought within two (2) years from the date on which such claim or action arose or accrued. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and Conditions (including our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to this subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional terms and conditions on this website will govern the items to which they pertain. We may revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting.
