Applicable Laws
These Terms and Conditions shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the state of California, regardless of the laws that might be applicable under principles of conflicts of law.
Dispute Resolution; Informal resolution and formal resolution by arbitration/class action waiver.
Any legal or equitable claim relating to your use of the Site or the use or purchase of any products from the Site (referred to as a "Claim") will be resolved by binding arbitration conducted under the Federal Arbitration Act, rather than in court, except that you or we may assert claims in small claims court if eligible.
Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its rules, including its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer- Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 800-778- 7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $2,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Allume, Inc. will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in Redwood City, CA or at another mutually agreed location.
If you or we seek arbitration of a dispute, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations and within any applicable deadline imposed under the AAA Rules. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Service as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at: 601 Allerton St, Suite 110, Redwood City, CA 9063.
Any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or we may bring an individual action in small claims court. Furthermore, either you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Severability & Non-Waiver
In the event that a provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it. This arbitration agreement will remain in effect even if you cancel your registration and account with us.
Allume, Inc. reserves all rights under these Terms of Service as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of these Terms of Service or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision at any time in the future.
Effective Date: August 22, 2019
