13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

You agree that:

  1. any claim or dispute (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) we may have against each other arising from or related to this website or these terms (“Dispute”) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) and conducted before a single arbitrator using JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules and Procedures”);
  2. prior to you or Galanz’s initiating arbitration by filing a Notice of Claims with JAMS, you and Galanz will engage in the informal dispute resolution process outlined in this paragraph. First, the party interested in pursuing a Dispute must give written notice to the other party of the party’s intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference (the “Notice”). The Notice shall contain: (1) the initiating party’s name; (2) the initiating party’s preferred contact information; (3) a brief description of the Dispute; (4) personal signature; and (5) the relief sought. If you are the initiating party, the Notice must be sent via e-mail to legal@galanzamericas.com. Second, within 60 days of the non-initiating party’s receipt of the Notice, or at a later date if you and Galanz mutually agree to enlarge the 60-day period, the parties shall make a good-faith attempt to resolve their Dispute. Engaging in this informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite to commencing arbitration and all applicable claims tolling principles shall apply;
  3. if, following the informal dispute resolution process described in subpart 2 above, either you or Galanz decides to file a Notice of Claims or some other type of demand for arbitration, the demand must include: (1) the name and contact information of the party initiating arbitration; (2) the arbitration clause; (3) the legal claims being asserted; (4) a detailed explanation of the factual basis for those claims; and (5) a detailed explanation of both the nature and the amount of the relief sought. Filing a demand that does not include the above information may result in the rejection of your demand for arbitration;
  4. the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by JAMS under its Rules and Procedures, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed to by you and Galanz; however, it may not be conducted by telephone;
  5. the arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict-of-law rules or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods;
  6. no claims shall be arbitrated on a class or representative basis as you and Galanz hereby waive the right to assert claims in any class or representative action; arbitration will therefore only decide the individual claims of you and Galanz; it is agreed that the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of any other person or party to an arbitration between you and Galanz under this provision, unless individual claims may be arbitrated together in front of one arbitrator in the case of mass arbitration or multiple arbitration filings asserting the same claims and brought by the same attorneys or other attorneys working jointly;
  7. you and Galanz empower a court of law, rather than an arbitrator, with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable;
  8. if you start the arbitration, you must pay the JAMS filing fee required for consumer arbitrations;
  9. if all or any provision of this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then you and Galanz agree that, with the exception of paragraphs 2 and 6, the provision will be severed and the rest of these Terms shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. If the Class Action Waiver is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, you and Galanz agree that it will not be severable; this entire Binding Individual Arbitration section will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in either a state court of New York or a District Court of New York. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without Galanz’s express consent. If litigation ensues for any reason, both you and Galanz agree to waive any right to a trial by jury;
  10. you or Galanz may take claims to small claims court if they are within the scope of its jurisdiction; and
  11. finally, this arbitration provision is reciprocally binding on all parties, such that both you and Galanz are required to arbitrate their claims against one another. For more information on JAMS and/or JAMS Rules and Procedures, you may visit the JAMS Website.
