ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
- Arbitration NoticeAt the sole discretion of NTD, we may require you to submit any dispute or claim
arising from or related to our Services (except for the Exempt Claims, as defined
below), these Terms & Conditions, and/or the Privacy Policy it will be resolved
by confidential binding arbitration in New York rather than in court, after first
giving Notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party and the opportunity
to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice. The Notice to NTD
should be sent to NTD: NTD Legal Department 5 Penn Plaza, 8th Floor, New York
NY 10001. This Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the
claims the party is asserting, and the relief sought.If you and NTD are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within
thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, you or NTD may initiate arbitration
proceedings to be conducted by a single impartial arbitrator chosen from the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)’s National Roster of Commercial Arbitrators
by mutual agreement of the Parties (or by the AAA if the Parties cannot agree).
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 the provisions of these Terms & Conditions
as a court would. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING
YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE
OR FEDERAL COURT.The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply, and the AAA will
administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration
and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.The arbitration shall be held in the State of New York or at another mutually
agreed location. If the arbitration involves a consumer, the arbitration will
be held at a location convenient to the consumer. If the value of the relief
sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted
by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be
binding on you and us subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person
hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may
be made by telephone by you and us unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, including recognized principles of equity, and
will honor all claims of privilege recognized by applicable law. The arbitrator
will also decide any questions relating to the interpretation, applicability,
or enforceability of this arbitration clause, except where a party files a claim
in court because it is an Exempt Claim (as defined below). If either party files
an Exempt Claim, the court presiding over that claim will determine if the claim
is an Exempt Claim under this Arbitration Clause. The arbitrator’s award shall
be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms & Conditions to the contrary,
you and we agree that if we make any change to this Section (other than a change
to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that change
shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a proceeding against us prior
to the effective date of the change. Moreover, if we seek to terminate this Section,
any such termination shall not be effective until thirty (30) days after the
version of the Terms & Conditions containing this Section is posted to the
websites and shall not be effective as to any claim that was filed in a proceeding
against us prior to the effective date of termination.CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND NTD AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration,
we each waive any right to a jury trial.EXEMPT CLAIMS: You and NTD agree that the following two types of claims are not
required to be submitted to an arbitration subject to the following conditions:
-
-
- You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis in small-claims court. However, if (a) there is an appeal from small-claims court, or (b) a change in the claim that renders the small-claims court unable to resolve the claim, then the claim must be resolved in an arbitration under the terms of this arbitration provision.
- You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Such a claim may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights could cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy. The prevailing party in an action to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights is entitled to recover costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in pursuing that remedy.
-
-
- Claims and Disputes Must be Filed Within One (1) YearTo the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to your use of the Services, including, without limitation, any website or mobile application or other Services-related product, services, or other content must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. This section applies to you and your heirs, successors, and assigns.
XXXI. SEVERABILITY
To the extent that any provision of these Terms & Conditions is deemed to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, including the binding arbitration clause and class action waiver, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms & Conditions.
