DISPUTES
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND Charlemagne, Inc MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE DETERMINED.
Agreement to Arbitrate
You and Charlemagne, Inc agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to this or previous versions of the Charlemagne, Inc Terms, your use of Charlemagne Sites or Services, or to any products sold or distributed by Charlemagne, Inc or through Charlemagne Sites or Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and the case proceeds as an individual (non-class, non-representative) case. The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to National Registered Agents, Inc., 160 Greentree Dr., Suite 101, Dover, Delaware, 19904. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at adr.org or by texting 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
The arbitration hearing will be held in the country in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. You or Charlemagne, Inc may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and Charlemagne, Inc subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing.
The arbitrator will decide all claims in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving other Charlemagne, Inc members, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Charlemagne, Inc member to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Prohibition of Class, Representative, and Consolidated Actions
You and Charlemagne, Inc agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both you and Charlemagne, Inc agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join more than one party’s claims, and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law. Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other Charlemagne, Inc members.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration both you and Charlemagne, Inc each waive any right to a jury trial. You and Charlemagne, Inc also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Charlemagne Sites or Services, or any products sold or distributed by Charlemagne, Inc or through Charlemagne Sites or Services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
Unless you and Charlemagne, Inc agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or previous versions of these Terms, your use of any Charlemagne Sites or Services, or any products sold or distributed by Charlemagne, Inc or through Charlemagne Sites or Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles, California. You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
No waiver of these Terms by Charlemagne, Inc shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such Terms or any other term or condition, and any failure of Charlemagne, Inc to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
