BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)
Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to any part of these Terms, or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (collectively, “Disputes”), please contact us at Casana Care, Inc., 150 Metro Park, Suite A, Rochester, NY 14623, Attention:Legal Department, and we will try to resolve your concerns through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of Dispute is received. If we cannot resolve the Dispute after sixty (60) days, either party may request arbitration as explained in this section.
Notice of Dispute.If any party intends to seek arbitration, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the Dispute in writing. Notice should be sent to Casana Care, Inc., 150 Metro Park, Suite A, Rochester, NY 14623, Attention: Legal Department. The notice must include your name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that any Dispute shall be finally settled by binding individual arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and not in a court of law in any jurisdiction, and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding, as further set forth below. You and Casana agree that one (1) arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Judgment of the award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed, reduced to judgment, and entered in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect Casana’s rights or its property or those of its employees, agents, suppliers, and contractors.
Class Action Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that you and Casana are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and Casana agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this Section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement set forth in this Section will be deemed null and void and you and Casana will be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes on an individual basis. Notwithstanding your and Casana’s agreement to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, you and Casana each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and 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 a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
Rules, Procedures, and Governing Law.The arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and any supplementary rules then in effect (the “AAA Rules”), except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, you and Casana agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of you and Casana that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, that issue will be resolved under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
A party who desires to initiate an arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to the AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. You can contact AAA for more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding at www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879.
For claims under $10,000, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. If your claim is at or above $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. SFERA will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous.
Opt-out Procedure. You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms by email to privacy@casanacare.com or by mail at Casana Care, Inc., c/o Legal Department, 150 Metro Park, Suite A, Rochester, NY 14623.
