18.  Dispute Resolution

There might be an occasion in which you and NicoBlu are subject to a Dispute (as defined below) that directly or indirectly arises out of, or relates, to these Terms, the Site, or your engagement with NicoBlu. In the event of such a Dispute, each party hereby agrees (i) to comply with the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process as set forth below, and, (ii) that, if the Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process does not resolve the Dispute, then it will comply with the Formal Dispute Resolution Process.

Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution Process

For any Dispute that arises between you and NicoBlu concerning or otherwise related to these Terms, the Site, or your engagement with NicoBlu, each party agrees that it will first make a good faith effort to resolve such a Dispute informally before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, as set forth below. 

THIS INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS IS A CONDITION PRECEDENT AND PREREQUISITE TO COMMENCING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NICOBLU. This informal dispute resolution process requires that one party send a written description of the Dispute, including the nature and basis of the claim and the nature and basis of the specific relief sought (with a calculation for it), to the other party that also includes contact information (name, address, email, phone number) (the “Notice”). For any Dispute you initiate, you agree to send this Notice, along with any other relevant information, to the following: NICOBLU, ATTN: Legal Department, 3 Forest Street, Suite #5, New Canaan, CT 06840[KT4] .The party initiating the Dispute must personally sign the Notice (along with an attorney if you or we are represented) that is mailed to us. You also agree to provide a carbon copy of the Notice to care@nicoblu.com[KT5] , with the subject line “INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION”.

After the Notice of a party’s intent to engage in the informal dispute resolution process is transmitted and received by the parties, in accordance with the aforementioned instructions, each party hereby agrees to promptly negotiate in good faith about the Dispute, including through an informal and individualized telephone settlement conference between the parties, if the party that receives the Notice requests the same. If either party to the Dispute is represented by counsel, that party’s counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution process, but the party also must personally appear at and participate in the conference. This process should lead to resolution of the Dispute, but if the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the fully completed Notice of the informal dispute, each party agrees to the Formal Dispute Resolution Process set forth below. The parties agree that any relevant limitations period and filing fee or other deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. A court shall have the authority to enforce the terms of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process and to enjoin the filing or pursuit of an arbitration demand for a party’s non-compliance with this mandatory informal dispute resolution process. A party may also seek monetary relief in connection with this this informal dispute resolution process.

Formal Dispute Resolution Process

Any Dispute between you and NicoBlu directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to related to these Terms, the Site, or your engagement with NicoBlu that cannot be resolved through the aforementioned informal dispute resolution process shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Connecticut. You hereby irrevocably consent to such venue and to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court over any such dispute. The foregoing notwithstanding, you agree that NicoBlu, at its sole discretion, may require you to submit any disputes directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to related to these Terms, the Site, or your engagement with NicoBlu exclusively to final and binding arbitration taking place in the State of Connecticut under the International Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”), by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. Notwithstanding such Rules, however, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, U.S.A. Any award in any arbitration initiated hereunder shall be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Further, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages in any arbitration initiated under this section, except as may be required by statute.

 Time Bar 

Any cause of action or claim you may have directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or your engagement with NicoBlu must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.

Terms

For purposes of these Terms, the term “Dispute” shall be interpreted as broadly as permitted under the law and shall cover any claim or controversy, related to NicoBlu or our relationship with you, including but not limited to, any and all: (i) claims for relief and theories of liability, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, negligence, statute, regulation, ordinance, or otherwise; (ii) claims that arose before these Terms; (iii) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms; and (iv) claims that are the subject of purported class action litigation. 

19. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by NicoBlu of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of NicoBlu to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

 

20. Entire Agreement

The Terms, Mobile Messaging Program Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and NicoBlu regarding the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Site.

b. NICOBLU AND YOU EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A PROGRAM, FROM YOUR RECEIPT OF OUR OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS’ SMS/MMS mobile messages, or FROM this Agreement (INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY), INCLUDING DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT’S INTERPRETATION, VIOLATION, INVALIDITY, NON-PERFORMANCE, OR TERMINATION, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF ARBITRATION OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) APPLYING CONNECTICUT LAW,[KT9] WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULES.

 

c. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five (5) years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court.

Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award attorneys’ fees, unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute or contract (including this Agreement).

If for any reason a dispute proceeds in a federal or state court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial and acknowledge and agree that all such proceedings shall be conducted in the federal or state courts located in the State of Connecticut. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of the Agreement.

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
