Arbitration. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. For any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us that arises out of, is related to or in connection with these Terms (individually a "Claim" and collectively "Claims"), you agree to first contact us at admin@the-galerie.com and attempt to resolve the Claim informally. We hope we can resolve any Claim with you. In the unlikely event that you and The Galerie have not been able to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after you contact us, then you and we each agree to resolve the Claim by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except for any and all Claims related to injunctive or other equitable relief and/or any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ Intellectual Property Rights (discussed below):
The extent that arbitration clauses are prohibited by applicable law in jurisdictions outside of the United States.
You may file a Claim in small claims court if the Claim meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court.
You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and we expressly agree otherwise. If your Claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your Claim is for more than U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing, payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses will be governed by the AAA rules. If we commence an arbitration, we will pay for all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. In any arbitration, the prevailing party will not seek to recover attorney’s fees or expenses unless the arbitrator finds the Claim to be frivolous or for an improper purpose. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE FILING PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS The Galerie AGREES OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND The Galerie ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section 19 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of Section 19 still applies.
