-
DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
-
Informal Dispute Resolution. Zenni wants to address any concerns You may have without resort to legal proceedings. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Thus, You agree to first contact Zenni at legal@zennioptical.com to resolve Your dispute with us informally. Your notice of dispute must be individual to You and must include, as applicable, Your name, Your email address, and Your residential address. Your notice of dispute also must explain the facts of the dispute as You understand them and tell Zenni what You want Zenni to do to resolve the issue. You agree to use Your best efforts to settle any dispute directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, and You agree that a notice of dispute containing all of the information required above, followed by at least 60 days of good faith negotiation, are preconditions to either You or Zenni initiating arbitration. A notice of dispute will not be valid unless it contains all of the information required by this paragraph.
If You commence an arbitration without having previously provided a valid and compliant notice of dispute, You agree that the applicable arbitration provider (or the arbitrator, if one has been appointed) must suspend the arbitration pending compliance with this paragraph. You and Zenni authorize the arbitration provider or the arbitrator to decide summarily whether the party that commenced an arbitration complied with these notice requirements, relying solely on this Agreement and the notice of dispute provided (if any). All statutes of limitation shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
-
Agreement to Binding Arbitration. In the unlikely event that You cannot reach an agreement with Zenni after 60 days of good faith negotiation, You agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of, in connection with, or relating to Your Plan, including but not limited to these Terms and Conditions, through binding arbitration. These Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and any arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
Except in the event of a Mass Arbitration (as defined below), You agree that all disputes shall be finally settled through binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, but excluding any rules or procedures that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures. The seat of the arbitration will be decided pursuant to the JAMS Rules. You or Zenni may elect to appear at the arbitration in person or, if You and Zenni both agree, to conduct it remotely online via appropriate videoconferencing technology, in lieu of appearing live.
You will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at Your own expense. You and Zenni shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Zenni also agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.
If You initiate arbitration, to the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty U.S. Dollars ($250), and Your claim is ultimately found to be non-frivolous and not in bad faith, Zenni will reimburse all filing fees in excess of $250. Zenni will also pay all other arbitration costs in connection with the arbitration, other than costs incurred by You for legal counsel, travel and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses not constituting fees or amounts payable to JAMS. You will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by Zenni if You do not prevail in arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that Your claim was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award Zenni its attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, arbitration fees, and/or costs. Zenni will also reimburse You for any portion of the $250 filing fee that is more than what You would otherwise have to pay to file suit in a court of law.
-
Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ZENNI AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. To the extent applicable law does not permit waiver of private attorney general claims, but permits them to be arbitrated, then such claims shall be resolved in arbitration. You further agree to waive Your rights to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If there is a final determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy will be severed and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the waiver contained in this paragraph shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other claims, causes of action or requested remedies to the fullest extent possible. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then You agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator. If a court or arbitrator decides that any part of this Agreement cannot be enforced as to a particular request for public injunctive relief, then that request for public injunctive relief (and only that request for public injunctive relief) must be brought in court and must be stayed pending arbitration of the arbitrable remedies.
-
Mass Arbitration Before NAM. Notwithstanding Your agreement to arbitrations administered by JAMS, in the event 25 or more demands for arbitration are filed relating to the same or similar subject matter and share common issues of law or fact, and counsel for the parties submitting the demands are the same or coordinated, You and Zenni agree that the demands will constitute a “Mass Arbitration.” You agree that any Mass Arbitration shall not be governed by the JAMS Rules or administered by JAMS, but will instead be administered by National Arbitration & Mediation (“NAM”), a nationally recognized arbitration provider, and governed by the NAM rules in effect when the Mass Arbitration is filed as modified by this Agreement, including the NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules, but excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class-wide basis (collectively, the “NAM Rules”).
The NAM Rules are available at www.namadr.com or by calling 1-800-358-2550. In the event of any failure or refusal to commence a Mass Arbitration before NAM, You or Zenni may seek an order from a court of competent jurisdiction compelling compliance with these Terms and Conditions and compelling administration of the Mass Arbitration before NAM. Pending resolution of any such requests to a court, You and Zenni agree that all arbitrations comprising the Mass Arbitration (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) shall be stayed. You and Zenni acknowledge that either party's failure to comply with this paragraph would irreparably harm the other, and You agree that a court may issue an order staying the arbitrations (and any obligation to pay arbitration fees) until any disagreements over the provisions of this paragraph are resolved by the court.
-
30 Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions above by sending written notice of Your decision to opt-out by emailing Zenni at privacy@zennioptical.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your purchase of Your Plan; otherwise You shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. If You opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Zenni also will not be bound by them.
-
Exclusive Venue for Litigation Not Subject to Arbitration. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply or if You opt out of arbitration, You and Zenni agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and any litigation shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside).
- SPECIAL STATE DISCLOSURES:
