Section 25 – Dispute resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH Sugar Creek Candle Company AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

BINDING ARBITRATION:

Except for any disputes, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, demands or proceedings (collectively, “Disputes”) arising out of or related to a violation of Section 1 or Disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, you and The Sugar Creek Candle Company agree (a) to waive your and The Sugar Creek Candle Company respective rights to have any and all Disputes arising from or related to these Terms, or the Site, and the Apps, Content or Products, resolved in a court, and (b) to waive your and Sugar Creek Candle Company respective rights to a jury trial. Instead, you and Sugar Creek Candle Company agree to arbitrate Disputes through binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more persons charged with reviewing the Dispute and making a final and binding determination to resolve it instead of having the Dispute decided by a judge or jury in court).

No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions: You and Sugar Creek Candle Company that any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Sites, the App, Content, the Service or products sold on the Site is personal to you and Sugar Creek Candle Company and that such Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. You and The Sugar Creek Candle Company agree that there will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, you and Sugar Creek Candle Company agree that a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO A VIOLATION OF SECTION 1 OR DISPUTES IN WHICH EITHER PARTY SEEKS TO BRING AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR SEEKS INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FOR THE ALLEGED UNLAWFUL USE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE NAMES, LOGOS, TRADE SECRETS OR PATENTS, YOU AND The Sugar Creek Candle Company AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED OR FILED BY YOU OR The Sugar Creek Candle Company WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE THE DISPUTE AROSE, OTHERWISE THE UNDERLYING CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED (WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND THE The Sugar Creek Candle Company WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIM REGARDING THE DISPUTE).

For all purposes of this Agreement, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts located in, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

If any term, clause or provision of this Section 25 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 25 will remain valid and enforceable. Further, the waivers set forth in Section 25 are severable from the other provisions of these Terms and will remain valid and enforceable, except as prohibited by applicable law.
