12.1 Choice of Law.
As between BabyStuffInBoise.com and you, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to the choice of law or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction. Both BabyStuffInBoise.com and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Idaho for enforcement of arbitral awards or for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm, which will not be subject to the requirements of Section 12.2.
12.2 Dispute Resolution.
Our right to amend these Terms at any time as set forth above does not apply to this Section 12.2 (this “Dispute Resolution Agreement”). The version of this Dispute Resolution Agreement in effect on the date you last accepted these Terms controls.
We want your experience with the Platform and BabyStuffInBoise.com to be a positive one. If you have a problem or dispute, we will do our best to resolve your concerns. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue claims as explained in this Dispute Resolution Agreement.
Step 1: Amicable Resolution
You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes relating in any way to the Platform, the Services, any interaction with BabyStuffInBoise.com, or these Terms by contacting us at contact@babystuffinboise.com.
If we are unable to resolve the dispute, you agree to first attempt to settle the dispute through a nonbinding mediation proceeding. In the event any party to such mediation proceeding is not satisfied with the results thereof, then any unresolved disputes will be finally settled in accordance with a binding arbitration proceeding. In no event will the results of any mediation proceeding be admissible in any arbitration or judicial proceeding.
Step 2: Non-binding Mediation
Mediation proceedings will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") in effect on the date the notice of mediation was served, other than as specifically modified herein, and will be nonbinding on the parties thereto. Any party may commence a mediation proceeding by serving written notice thereof to the other parties, by mail or otherwise, designating the issues to be mediated and the specific provisions of these Terms under which the issues and dispute arose. The initiating party will simultaneously file two copies of the notice with the AAA, along with a copy of these Terms. A party may withdraw from the dispute by signing an agreement to be bound by the results of the mediation, to the extent the mediation results are accepted by the other parties as provided herein. A party who withdraws will have no further right to participate in the dispute.
The parties will select one neutral third party AAA mediator with expertise in the area that is in dispute. If a mediator has not been selected within ten (10) business days after receipt by the non-initiating party of the notice of mediation, then a mediator will be selected by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Mediation Rules of the AAA.
The mediator will schedule sessions, as necessary, for the presentation by all parties of their respective positions, which, at the option of the mediator, may be heard by the mediator jointly or in private, without any other members present. The mediation proceeding will be held in Boise, Idaho, or such other place as agreed by the mediator and all of the parties. Each of the parties may submit to the mediator, no later than ten (10) business days prior to the first scheduled session, a brief memorandum in support of their position.
The mediator will make written recommendations for settlement in respect of the dispute, including apportionment of the mediator’s fee, within ten (10) business days of the last scheduled session. If any party involved is not satisfied with the recommendation for settlement, that party may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Step 3: Binding Arbitration
Binding arbitration proceedings will be conducted under the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the AAA (the "Rules"). A party may withdraw from the dispute by signing an agreement to be bound by the results of the arbitration. A party who withdraws will have no further right to participate in the dispute.
The arbitration panel will consist of one arbitrator. The parties will select one neutral third party AAA arbitrator (the "Arbitrator") with expertise in the area that is in dispute. If an Arbitrator has not been selected within ten (10) business days after receipt by the non-initiating party of the notice of arbitration, then an Arbitrator will be selected by the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitration proceeding will be held in Boise, Idaho or such other place as agreed by the arbitrator and all of the parties. Any arbitrator who is selected will disclose promptly to the AAA and to both parties any financial or personal interest the arbitrator may have in the result of the arbitration and/or any other prior or current relationship, or expected or discussed future relationship, with the parties or their representatives. The arbitrator will promptly conduct proceedings to resolve the dispute in question pursuant to the then existing Rules. To the extent any provisions of the Rules conflict with any provision of this Section 15, the provisions of this Section 15 will control.
In any final award and/or order, the arbitrator will apportion all the costs (other than attorney's fees which will be borne by the party incurring such fees) incurred in conducting the arbitration in accordance with what the arbitrator deems just and equitable under the circumstances. The parties agree that the results of the arbitration will be binding and non-appealable.
Discovery will not be permitted in such arbitration except as allowed by the Rules, or as otherwise agreed to by all the parties. Notwithstanding, the parties agree to make available to one another and to the arbitrator, for inspection and photocopying, all documents, books, and records, if determined by the arbitration panel to be relevant to the dispute, and by making available to one another and to the arbitration panel personnel directly or indirectly under their control, for testimony during hearings if determined by the arbitration panel to be relevant to the dispute. The parties agree, unless undue hardship exists, to conduct arbitration hearings to the greatest extent possible on consecutive business days and to strictly observe time periods established by the Rules or by the arbitrator for the submission of evidence and of briefs. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, a stenographic record of the arbitration proceedings will be made and a transcript thereof will be ordered for each party, with each party paying an equal portion of the total cost of such recording and transcription.
The arbitrator will have all powers of law and equity, which it can lawfully assume, necessary to resolve the issues in dispute including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, making awards of compensatory damages, issuing both prohibitory and mandatory orders in the nature of injunctions and compelling the production of documents and witnesses for presentation at the arbitration hearings on the merits of the case. The arbitrator will neither have nor exercise any power to act as amiable compositeur or ex aequo et bono; or to award special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and in written form and state the reasons upon which it is based. The parties agree to participate in the arbitration in good faith.
Step 4: Enforcement of Award
Any action or proceeding subsequent to enforce an award rendered by the arbitrator in the dispute will be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in the same county where the arbitration of the dispute was conducted, and Idaho law will apply in any such subsequent action or proceeding.
12.3 Jury Trial Waiver.
You and BabyStuffInBoise.com acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all disputes.
12.4 No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings.
You and BabyStuffInBoise.com acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all disputes. Further, unless you and BabyStuffInBoise.com both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
12.5 Severability/Unenforceability.
In the event that any portion of this Section 12 is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of this Section 12 shall be given full force and effect. In the event that your agreement to have any unresolved dispute finally settled via binding arbitration is unenforceable, you agree: (a) that the laws of the State of Idaho will govern any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions, (b) to venue in the federal courts located in Boise, Idaho, and to waive any claims based upon improper or inconvenient venue or lack of jurisdiction, and (c) that Sections 12.3 and 12.4 will apply.
