8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Disputes not subject to arbitration are subject to the jurisdiction of courts in New York.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Website shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 9, any legal action not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
9. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Disputes are resolved through individual binding arbitration, not court. You have the right to opt out within 30 days. Class actions are waived.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
9.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, you and Sentala agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website, including any question of arbitrability, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator, rather than in court.
9.2 Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org), as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will take place in New York County, New York, or, if you prefer, via videoconference. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Unless the AAA Rules require otherwise or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary, the arbitration may be conducted on the basis of written submissions.
We will pay arbitration filing fees for claims that do not exceed $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claim is frivolous. For claims exceeding $10,000, the AAA's fee-sharing rules apply.
9.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND SENTALA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or set of claims, those specific claims shall be severed from the arbitration and may proceed in court on an individual (not class or representative) basis; this waiver shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all other claims.
9.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
The following claims are not subject to this arbitration agreement and may be brought in court:
- Claims within the jurisdiction of small claims court
- Claims seeking injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights
9.5 Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] within 30 days of the date you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your name, your email address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you opt out, neither party will be bound by the arbitration agreement in Section 9 with respect to each other; all other provisions of these Terms remain in full force.
9.6 Severability
If any portion of this Section 9 (other than the class action waiver in Section 9.3) is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
10. Modifications
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Website after an update constitutes acceptance.
Sentala reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Website following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
We also reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Website (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.
