21. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York State for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that New York County, New York State is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
22. Arbitration
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM VETTERY. FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH VETTERY, YOU AGREE TO FIRST CONTACT US AT CONNECT@VETTERY.COM AND ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITH US INFORMALLY. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT VETTERY HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IT HAS WITH YOU AFTER SIXTY (60) DAYS, YOU AND VETTERY AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE FORUM AND REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RELATING IN ANY WAY TO OR ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO THESE TERMS.
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 TERMS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AS A COURT WOULD.
ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN VETTERY AND YOU ABOUT OR INVOLVING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES THAT IS UNABLE TO BE INFORMALLY RESOLVED MUST BE COMMENCED AND CONDUCTED UNDER THE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES (THE “AAA RULES”) OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) AND, WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE AAA’S SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (“AAA CONSUMER RULES”), BOTH OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT THE AAA WEBSITE WWW.ADR.ORG OR BY CALLING THE AAA AT 1-800-778-7879, IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA , PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT PREVENT VETTERY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
23. CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICES FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, WE EACH AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
