    SECTION – ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

    A. Arbitration Notice 

    You and  Gooselings agree that if there is any dispute or claim arising from or related to our Services (except for the Exempt Claims, as defined below), these Terms of Service, 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 the Company should be sent to Gooselings LLC:   Attn: Privacy Compliance Officer, 178 Columbus Avenue, P.O 230 787, New York NY 10023, United States.  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 Gooselings are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, you or we 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 of Service 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 New York, 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 of Service 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 of Service 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 GOOSELINGS 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 Gooselings agree that the following two types of claims are not required to be submitted to an arbitration subject to the following conditions:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    OPT OUT:  You may opt-out of this mandatory arbitration provision by writing us within sixty (60) calendar days of your agreement to this arbitration provision, either (a) via email at [opt out email], or (b) by mail to [mailing address for opt outs].  Include your name, address, [account number,] and date in the correspondence.  This is the only way you can opt out.

    B. Claims and Disputes Must be Filed Within One (1) Year

    To 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.

    SECTION XVIII – GOVERNING LAW

    These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York without reference to any conflict of law rules..

    SECTION – NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES

    There are no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms of Service.  We shall have the right to assign our rights or delegate any of its responsibilities under these Terms of Service to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization for the sale of substantially all our assets.

    SECTION XIX – CHANGES TO TERMS OF SERVICE

    You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time at this page.
    We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check our website periodically for changes.  Your continued use of or access to our website or the Service following the posting of any changes to these Terms of Service constitutes acceptance of those changes.
