Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
Arbitration Agreement; Class Waiver; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Please read this section 10 (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Glowbie and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You and we agree that any dispute between you and Glowbie or any of our parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees or representatives (collectively, the “Glowbie Parties”) relating in any way to (i) your access to or use of this website, (ii) any advertising claims made by Glowbie, (iii) any products or services sold by Glowbie, (iv) your receipt of any communication from Glowbie or (v) these Terms and Conditions of Use will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you or we may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis and you or the Glowbie Parties may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement (i.e., the date upon which you agreed to this Agreement) or any prior version of this Agreement.
(b) If you agree to arbitration with Glowbie, you are agreeing in advance that you will not participate in or seek to recover monetary or other relief in any lawsuit filed against Glowbie alleging class, collective, and/or representative claims. Instead, by agreeing to arbitration, you may bring your claims against the Glowbie Parties in an individual arbitration proceeding. If successful on such claims, you could be awarded money or other relief by an arbitrator. you acknowledge that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney in deciding whether to accept this agreement, including this arbitration agreement.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent at The COGENCY GLOBAL Entity Central Team, COGENCY GLOBAL INC.,850 New Burton Road, Suite 201,Dover, Delaware 19904. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Glowbie will pay them for you. Likewise, Glowbie will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Glowbie Parties. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Glowbie hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and Glowbie are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in subsection 10.a above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(f) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class, collective or representative basis. only individual relief is available for claims covered by this arbitration agreement, and claims of one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection 10.f’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts in San Diego, California. All other claims shall be arbitrated. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in San Diego, California for purposes of resolving any claims for relief that are severed from an arbitration in accordance with this subsection and waive any argument that holding proceedings in such courts will impose undue hardship or materially affect their ability to present their case.
(g) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following postal or email address: 2310 Henderson Avenue, Unit 1297, Dallas, TX 75206 or info@luminancemedical.com, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name, postal address and email address (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
(h) Severability. Except as provided in subsection 10.f, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(i) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement or your relationship with Glowbie.
(j) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Glowbie makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any claim(s) of which you had already provided notice to us. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you will also have thirty (30) days to reject any such future material change to this Arbitration Agreement by sending us written notice of your rejection decision within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the applicable change. To be effective, timely notices of your rejection decision must be sent to either 2310 Henderson Avenue, Unit 1297, Dallas, TX 75206 or info@luminancemedical.com.
