Additional Legal Terms and Conditions
1. Arbitration Agreement
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
You agree that any dispute or claim against us, or our vendors or service providers (collectively, "We" or "Us"), related to your access or use of this Website, these Terms, or your relationship with Us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, except that:
- You may assert claims in small claims court if eligible; and
- Either party may seek equitable relief in court for misuse of intellectual property.
All claims must be commenced within one (1) year after the dispute arises. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
b. Process
Before filing arbitration, you must send a written notice describing your claim to [5634 Loma Visa Dr, Parker CO 80134]. If unresolved within 30 days, arbitration will be conducted through JAMS, following its current Streamlined or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, as applicable. JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com.
c. Fees
If the arbitrator determines you cannot afford JAMS fees, we will pay them. If your claim is found frivolous, you agree to reimburse our attorneys' fees where permitted by law.
d. Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to this Arbitration Agreement and may award any relief a court could.
e. Waiver of Jury Trial
You and We waive the right to a jury trial, agreeing instead to individual arbitration.
f. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
Claims must be arbitrated individually-not as a class, collective, or representative action.
g. Batch Arbitration
If 50 or more similar arbitration claims arise within a 30-day period, JAMS may administer them collectively under a Batch Arbitration process.
h. Severability
If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue in full force.
i. Survival
This section survives termination of your relationship with Us.
j. Modification
Future material changes to this section will not apply to claims already noticed.
2. Consent to Data Collection
By using the Website, you consent to the collection and use of data as described in this Privacy Policy and in any related policies linked herein. You may withdraw your consent at any time by following opt-out instructions on the Website or emailing [email protected].
3. Limitations on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Cookin' Chicks, its vendors, and service providers ("We" or "Us") shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising from your access or use of the Website.
In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the greater of:
- The total amount paid or payable to Raptive by you for Website services during the preceding six (6) months, or
- One hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
These limitations apply to all legal theories, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or otherwise, even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
