Disputes; arbitration agreement; class waiver; waiver of trial by jury; governing law; jurisdiction
Please read the following paragraphs carefully because they require you to arbitrate disputes with the company, and limit the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

  1. Applicability of arbitration agreement

  • Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the site or to any products or services sold or distributed by the company through the site that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms set forth below, except that you and the company are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

  1. Arbitration rules

  • The federal arbitration act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through the Canadian arbitration association (“CAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If CAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall select an alternative ADR provider.

The rules of the ADR provider shall govern all aspects of this arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and / or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules conflict with these terms of use (“arbitration rules”). The CAA consumer arbitration rules governing the arbitration are available online at https://canadianarbitrationassociation.ca/  or by calling the CAA at 1–800–856–5154.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non–appearance–based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing and the location of any such hearing will be determined by the arbitration rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  1. Additional rules for non–appearance based arbitration

  • If nonappearance arbitration is elected as provided above, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and / or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

  1. Authority of the arbitrator

  • The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitration rules, and the terms of use. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.

The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the company.

  1. Waiver of jury trial

  • You and the company hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the company in any province or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, you and the company waive all rights to a jury trial, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

  1. Waiver of class or consolidated actions

  • All claims and disputes within the scope of this agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis and not on a class basis, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other customer or user.

  1. Confidentiality

  • No part of the procedures shall be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement to arbitrate, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

  1. Small claims court

  • Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the company may bring an individual action in small claims court.

  1. Courts

  • In any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree that such disputes shall be governed by the laws of Canada and by the laws of the province of British Columbia without regard to conflict of law principles. You consent to submit to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the province and federal courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
