6. arbitration, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, JURY WAIVER AND DISPUTE TERMS
Except if specifically stated in these Terms, if a Dispute (defined below) arises between you and Claire’s, you and Claire’s agree, as permitted by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Site through binding arbitration or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly at [email protected] to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
Certain portions of this section constitute a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). You and Claire’s agree that we intend that this section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This section can only be amended by mutual agreement.
If any controversy, allegation, or claim relates in any way to your use of the Site (collectively, “Dispute”), then you and we agree the Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by confidential, binding arbitration in the county of the state in which you reside, except you may assert claims in small claims court in the county of your residence or in Chicago, Illinois if your claim qualifies. Arbitration under these Terms shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. All of the AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org, and the rules governing consumer disputes are available at www.adr.org/consumer. The AAA’s rules, including the rules governing consumer disputes, are also available by calling 800-778-7879. If you have any difficulty initiating arbitration, you may call the AAA at 800-778-7879.
All Disputes shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois without regard to Illinois choice of law principles, except that the provisions of this agreement concerning arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “Governing Law”). The arbitrability of disputes shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND CLAIRE’S BOTH AGREE TO GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND CLAIRE’S AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). Unless you and Claire’s agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, consolidated action or private attorney general action.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you or Claire’s may bring suit in court to seek a temporary, preliminary or other emergency injunction, a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in anticipation of arbitration arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or privacy rights, any illegal or intentional act affecting the accessibility, functionality, or security of the Site, and/or any illegal or intentional act against your interests or the general business interests of Claire’s (“Mutual Equitable Relief Exception”).
If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court, other than for Disputes brought in small claims court for qualifying claims, you and Claire’s agree: (i) that any such Dispute may only be brought in a state of federal court with subject matter jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles; (ii) to further irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts in Cook County, Illinois; and (iii) to waive any right to a trial by jury. You hereby consent to, and waive, all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of Illinois (“Jurisdiction and Venue for Court Actions”).
With the exception of the Class Action Waiver, if any part of this Section is ruled to be unenforceable for any reason, then the remaining provisions of Section 6 shall remain in force as if any portion ruled unenforceable were not included in this Section 6 (“Severability”). If the Class Action Waiver is deemed to be unenforceable for any reason, then those provisions of this Section 6 requiring the parties to arbitrate shall no longer be enforceable, but the remainder of this Section 6 shall remain in effect, including, but not limited to, those provisions relating to jurisdiction, venue, choice of law and jury waiver.
