LEGAL DISPUTES AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email click here to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Sites. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Terms of Service and Binding Arbitration Agreement. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the formation, performance and breach of the agreement formed hereby), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Sites, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS on a non-confidential basis in accordance with the provisions of its rules for consumer-related disputes, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms may be void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision and the parties hereby reject, waive and disclaim the application of any state Arbitration Act.

To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of any such fees should be submitted to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the preceding three paragraphs by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Legal Department, Paris Presents, 3800 Swanson Court, Gurnee, IL 60031, or by fax to 1-847-263-5191 – attn: Legal. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use any of the Sites, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Paris Presents also will not be bound by them.

Exclusive Venue for Litigation. Solely to the extent the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply, or for purposes of either party enforcing an award granted to it pursuant to arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Lake County, Illinois for any litigation other than small claims court actions. The Parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in Lake County, Illinois for any litigation and hereby waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction of Illinois over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) these Terms or the Sites, and (b) any acts or omissions of us or any of our related companies in connection with these Terms or the Sites.

Governing Law. Your use of the Sites shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law provisions, and not by the 1980 U.N. Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods. To the extent allowed by applicable law, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Sites (including but not limited to any purchases on our e-commerce sites) must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
