IF YOU AND WE ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE OUR DISPUTE BY TALKING TO EACH OTHER, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT WE WILL SUBMIT THE DISPUTE TO BINDING ARBITRATION, SUBJECT TO SECTION 22(F) BELOW. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to our relationship, these Terms & Conditions (including any dispute as to their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity), our {PRIVACY POLICY} (including any dispute as to its breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity), the Company Sites, any promotional offers or any product or service provided under or in connection with our relationship will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, subject only to Subsection 22(f) below.

YOU ARE HEREBY WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL OR TO GO TO COURT, other than as provided in Section 22(f) below. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you where you reside, other than as waived in these Terms & Conditions.

The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim and the award shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based. You and we agree that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern this agreement to arbitrate.
-
You and we agree not to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against the other. You and we also agree that you and we will not be entitled to bring any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity against the other, or against our service partners, retailers, licensors, officers, directors, agents, employees, affiliates or predecessors. Accordingly, you and we agree that the Class Action Procedures (or their replacement) will not apply in any arbitration between us. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. You and we retain our respective rights to make any complaint to regulatory agencies or governmental investigators. A court may sever any portion of this Section 22 that it may find to be unenforceable, except for the prohibition on class, representative or private attorney general proceedings. You understand and agree that the waivers of rights in this Section 22, including the waivers of the rights to bring a lawsuit in court and to assert a class action, are knowing and voluntary.
-
In lieu of initiating an arbitration, you may instead choose in your sole discretion to file an individual action in a small claims court.

23. WAIVER OF STATUTORY CLAIMS.
By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you are giving up statutory claims or rights that you may have under your state’s laws, including claims for certain forms of relief or for attorneys’ fees. You agree that your waiver of any such laws does not violate your state’s laws.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY VIA ARBITRATION AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise in a signed writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.
12. Florida Law: We endeavor to comply with the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act as applicable to Florida residents. For purposes of compliance, you agree that we may assume that you are a Florida resident if, at the time of opt-in to Program, (1) your shipping address, as provided is located in Florida or (2) the area code for the phone number used to opt-into the Program is a Florida area code. You agree that the requirements of the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act do not apply to you, and you shall not assert that you are a Florida resident, if you do not meet either of these criteria or, in the alternative, do not affirmatively advise us in writing that you are a Florida resident by sending written notice to us. Insofar as you are a Florida resident, you agree that mobile messages sent by Us in direct response to mobile messages or requests from You (including but are not limited to response to Keywords, opt-in, help or stop requests and shipping notifications) shall not constitute a “telephonic sales call” or “commercial telephone solicitation phone call” for purposes of Florida Statutes Section 501 (including but not limited to sections 501.059 and 501.616), to the extent the law is otherwise relevant and applicable.
13. Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
