By using or interacting with our Angelika Services, or engaging in any other Angelika Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below. Angelika and you agree to make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Angelika Services, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against Angelika, and any claim that Angelika may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with our Service Terms, our Privacy Policy, or any Angelika Transactions or Relationships shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the “AAA”) instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the “Applicable Rules” in such circumstances). If JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) at the time the arbitration is filed has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, Angelika agrees to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth herein; provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, nothing herein shall prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that: a. the Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and Angelika (the “Arbitrator”); b. the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and/or these arbitration provisions hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable; c. the Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS (or, if applicable, AAA) pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Angelika; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission; d. the Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of Nevada consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii)shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Nevada or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority and jurisdiction to award any form of legal or equitable relief; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall have no authority or jurisdiction to award monetary damage waived by or in excess of the limits specified in Section 12, above, or to award equitable relief for the benefit of any Person other than a party to this Agreement and any attempted granting of any remedy in violation of this provision shall not be binding and shall constitute grounds for appeal; e. the Arbitration can resolve only your and/or Angelika’s individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; f. the Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets; g. in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Angelika will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith; h. in the event you recover an Award greater than Angelika’s last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award Angelika’s reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees associated with the Arbitration, but Angelika shall in all events bear its own attorneys’ fees; and i. with the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Angelika shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute, and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction. Angelika may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after Angelika has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from Angelika Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against Angelika in your local small claims court within the United States, if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding.
