16. Legal Disputes

a. Binding Arbitration. By using this Site and agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against CardBazaar arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, this Site, or the purchase or sale of any Gift Cards or any other services offered on CardBazaar (a “Dispute” ), shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ( “AAA” ) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA, including, without limitation, the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, available at http://www.adr.org. ( “Rules and Procedures” ); except that you may bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court. The provisions of this Section 14 shall constitute your and CardBazaar’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Dispute Agreement”) and that you and CardBazaar are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except for the limited exclusion above in a small claims court or in the context of injunctive relief permitted below).
You agree further that: (A) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and CardBazaar; (B) the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (C) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only your and/or CardBazaar’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; and (D) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, CardBazaar will pay as much of your filing, arbitration and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary (not to exceed $10,000) to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. CardBazaar agrees not to seek attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute was frivolous. The arbitration shall be conducted based on written submission unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. (b) No Class Action. We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member of a purported class, representative proceeding or as an association. We each agree that any Dispute will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator may not vary these terms.
(c) Choice of Law & Forum. Any and all Disputes shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any conflicts of laws provisions. In the event any Dispute were to proceed in court, you agree that (i) the federal and state courts of the state of Delaware and Kent County shall have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any such Dispute, (ii) you and CardBazaar irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for the resolution of such Disputes and (iii) you and CardBazaar agree to irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury.
(d) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Dispute Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or related to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or any conduct that violates Section 5 of these Terms of Use. (e)Severability. If Section 16(b) above or Section 16(a),(c) above is ruled to be unenforceable, then Section 16(a) shall be deemed unenforceable, but the rest of this Section 16 shall remain in full effect.
