The provisions regarding the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to indemnification, intellectual property, dispute resolution, and confidentiality, as well as any other provisions necessary to interpret the respective rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms, shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms.
BKI may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Site or any Services or Products(s), including the availability of any features of the Site or any Services or Product(s), at any time and without notice. BKI may terminate any authorization and rights given above at any time and without notice.
BKI reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of these Terms in whole or in part, at any time and without notice. By accessing or using the Site or Services or purchasing or using any Product(s), you agree to be bound by any such revisions. Accordingly, you should periodically visit this page to determine the current Terms of Use to which you are bound. Your continued use of the Site or any Services or Products following the posting of changes to these Terms will be considered acceptance of those changes. In the event that you do not agree to any changes or modifications of these Terms, you should not continue to use the Site, Services, or such Product(s).
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, any dispute, claim or controversy at law or equity relating in any way to these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, any Products sold or distributed by BKI or through the Site or any Services, your use of the Site or any Services or Products, or any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and BKI (each a “Claim”) that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and BKI agree that any Claim will be resolved as follows:
Most disputes can be resolved informally. The parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, Claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with BKI, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the Claim and the requested relief. A Notice to BKI should be sent to Barbie Kalev, Inc., 2003 Texas 114 Hwy, Suite 340#2, Trophy Club, Texas 76262, or by email to [email protected]. After the Notice is received, you and BKI may attempt in good faith to resolve the Claim informally. If the Claim has not been resolved in the ordinary course of business within 60 days of the date of the receipt of the Notice, the parties agree that prior to attempting to resolve the Claim by arbitration, as set forth below, they will attempt to settle the dispute in good faith by mediation. The parties will use the then-current American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Mediation Procedures, or any other mediation procedure to which the parties agree, which procedure will be non-binding and confidential unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties.
SEE SECTION 18 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SUB-SECTION 17(A).
READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY, IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION. You agree that any dispute controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the applicability of these Terms of Use to the use of the Site or Services, or use or purchase of any BKI Products or other products or services on or in connection with the Site or Services, or to breach or enforcement, interpretation or validity of these Terms of Use, or the determination of the scope or applicability of arbitration shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act.
If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of 60 days from the time mediation is initiated under the Informal Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Claims, subject to the terms set forth below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND BKI UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE DECIDED BY AN ARBITRATOR AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE DISPUTES. Instead of suing in court, both you and BKI each agree to settle disputes (except certain small claims or as otherwise set forth in these Terms) only by arbitration. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations stated in these Terms of Use as a court would.
(1) Binding Arbitration: Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider, the Federal Arbitration Act, and federal arbitration law shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including, but not limited to, the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms of Use. If the arbitration is administered by the AAA, it shall be administered under the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (including without limitation the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable). To start an arbitration, submit a Demand for Arbitration that complies with the requirements of the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules to the AAA and mail a copy to us. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any Claims where the total amount of the award sought is $25,000 or less, the Claims will be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. For Claims where the total amount of the award sought is more than $25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the ADR Provider’s rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider, except as otherwise required or allowed by the ADR Provider’s rules. You acknowledge and agree that we may be entitled to reimbursement of our AAA, arbitrator’s, and/or attorney’s fees and expenses from you in the event the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous, brought for an improper purpose, or otherwise determines that we are entitled to such reimbursement.
(2) Additional Rules for Non-appearance Based Arbitration: If non-appearance arbitration applies, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.
(3) Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including, but not limited to, the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(4) Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or Claims arising from or relating to infringement, misappropriation, theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also bring an individual action in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
(5) Waiver of Jury Trial: THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all Claims (except as expressly excluded in this Formal Resolution by Binding Arbitration section) shall be resolved by binding arbitration. In the event any litigation should arise between you and BKI in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND BKI WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL (including, but not limited to, any Claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third party claims), instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. Each of the parties acknowledges that this section is a material inducement for the other party entering into these Terms of Use.
(6) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions: ALL CLAIMS MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED, AS THE CASE MAY BE, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY CLAIM OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER, USER OR PARTY, WHETHER THROUGH CLASS ACTION PROCEEDINGS, CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR OTHERWISE. THIS MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION WHATSOEVER. Each of the parties acknowledges that this section is a material inducement for the other party entering into these Terms of Use.
These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the ADR Provider’s rules, including, but not limited to, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules.
ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THE SITE OR SERVICES (INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT VIA THE SITE OR SERVICES), OR ANY PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT(S) MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ARISES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OF CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
SEE SECTION 18 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SUB-SECTION 17(C).
If you are a consumer, the provisions in these Terms of Use are intended to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of your State of residence. If you are a New Jersey consumer, the terms of Sections 7, 8, 10, 13, 17(A), and 17(C) do not limit or waive your rights as a consumer under New Jersey law and the provisions in these Terms of Use are intended to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey. In any event, BKI reserves all rights, defenses and permissible limitations under the law of your State of residence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section shall modify Section 17(B) (Formal Resolution by Arbitration).
We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or breached these Terms, for any failure or delay in our performance under these Terms when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, governmental actions, war, invasion or hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, lockouts, strikes or other labor disputes (whether or not relating to our workforce), or restraints or delays affecting carriers or inability or delay in obtaining supplies of adequate or suitable materials, materials or telecommunication breakdown or power outage.
