THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
The mutual promise by you and Momofuku to arbitrate any and all disputes, and to do so on an individual basis, rather than to litigate before the courts or other bodies, provides the mutual consideration for this agreement to arbitrate.
Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Unless you and Momofuku otherwise agree, if you are a U.S. resident, the arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (available on line at www.adr.org).
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the arbitration tribunal’s rules.
The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will not be permitted to obtain awards for, and by accessing and/or using the Site you waive all rights to claim punitive, incidental or consequential damages, or any other damages, including attorneys’ fees, and you further waive all rights to have damages multiplied or increased. Any and all claims, judgments, and awards shall be limited to your actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, excluding attorneys’ fees and costs.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Momofuku may at any time seek injunctive or other appropriate relief against you and/or against others, in any state or federal court in the state of New York in the event that Momofuku believes that there is a violation, or a threatened violation, of any of Momofuku’s intellectual property rights and, in such case, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court.
- Miscellaneous:
You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
The failure of Momofuku to enforce your strict performance of any term of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term and will not be considered a waiver or limit that party’s right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to the use of the Site or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or such claim or cause of action will be permanently barred.
