In certain areas, the law prevents the exclusion of unspoken guarantees, meaning that the aforementioned exclusion might not be relevant to you.

Even if there are multiple claims, this cap will not increase. You acknowledge that our suppliers are not to be held accountable for any issues stemming from or connected to this contract.
Certain areas do not permit restrictions or the refusal to acknowledge responsibility for damages that are incidental or follow as a result. Therefore, the stated restrictions or refusals might not be relevant to your situation.

Review it closely as it is part of your agreement with the Company and influences your legal rights, introducing mandatory arbitration and a provision that waives the right to participate in a class action.
Scope of the Arbitration Agreement: Any claims or disagreements related to the Terms, or to the utilization of any product or service offered by the Company that are not settled casually or through small claims court, are to be settled through binding arbitration on an individual basis, according to the conditions outlined in this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English unless a different language is mutually agreed upon. This Arbitration Agreement is binding on both you and the Company, as well as on any related entities, such as subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, prior interest holders, future entities, and anyone else claiming rights related to the goods or services provided under the Terms.
Obligation to Notify and Attempt to Settle Disputes Without Formal Proceedings. Before initiating arbitration, it is required that the concerned party first submit a written notification to the other party outlining the claim or disagreement in detail, along with the remedial action being sought. Written notifications intended for the Company must be dispatched to Safi, Morocco. Once this notification has been received, both you and the Company are encouraged to try to amicably resolve the issue. In the event that an agreement is not reached within a period of thirty (30) days following the receipt of the notification, either you or the Company may proceed to start arbitration. It must be noted that the quantum of any settlement proposal made by a party should not be revealed to the arbitrator until they have made a decision regarding the final award entitlement for either side.
Arbitration Procedures. The process of arbitration will commence via the American Arbitration Association, a recognized institution providing alternative dispute resolution services, including arbitration as specified in this clause. If the American Arbitration Association is unavailable for arbitration, both parties must mutually agree on a substitute ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) Provider. The selected ADR Provider's rules will apply to the entire arbitration process, unless they conflict with these Terms. The guidelines for arbitration established by the AAA, known as Consumer Arbitration Rules, can be found at adr.org or requested by phone from the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. There will be a sole, impartial arbitrator appointed to conduct the arbitration. Claims or disputes that involve an award of less than $10,000 may be settled through a binding arbitration that doesn't require the parties to appear in person, at the discretion of the claimant. For claims or disputes involving awards of $10,000 or more, the possibility of a hearing will be based on the Arbitration Rules. Such hearings will take place at a location that’s less than 100 miles from your home, provided you live within the United States. If the parties do not jointly decide on another location, and if you live outside the United States, the arbitrator will inform the parties in advance of the hearing’s date, time, and place. Any court with appropriate jurisdiction can enforce the award issued by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator's award to you is higher than the final settlement offer made by the Company before arbitration began, the Company will pay you either the awarded amount or $2,500, whichever is higher. Each party is responsible for covering their own costs related to the arbitration and must equally share the fees and expenses of the ADR Provider.
Additional Regulations for Arbitration Without In-Person Attendance. Should the parties choose arbitration that does not require physical presence, it will be carried out via phone, online or entirely through written communications; the method will be selected by the party that starts the arbitration process. There will be no requirement for either the parties or witnesses to be present in person, except if the parties decide to arrange otherwise by mutual agreement.
Deadlines for Arbitration. Should you or the Company decide to seek arbitration, the arbitration proceeding must be begun or formally requested within the time frame prescribed by law and any applicable deadlines set out in the AAA (American Arbitration Association) Rules for the relevant claim.
Power of the Arbitrator. Should arbitration proceedings commence, the appointed arbitrator will determine the legal rights and obligations of both you and the Company, ensuring the case remains separate from other issues or joined parties. The arbitrator possesses the power to rule on motions that could resolve either a portion or the entirety of a claim. The arbitrator is also empowered to impose financial compensation, as well as any equitable remedies or other types of relief that are permissible to an individual in accordance with the law, the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), and the agreed-upon Terms. The arbitrator is expected to provide a detailed written statement and rationale outlining the key findings and judgments upon which their decision is based. In essence, the arbitrator wields the same ability to order individual relief as a judge in a court would. Once made, the decision of the arbitrator is conclusive and legally binding for both you and the Company.
Jury Trial Waiver. Both parties agree to give up their constitutional and legal rights to have their dispute settled in a formal court setting with either a judge or jury present. They have chosen for all claims and disagreements to be settled through arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration process is generally faster, more streamlined, and less costly than traditional court procedures and the opportunity for a court to review an arbitration outcome is extremely limited. If a situation arises where litigation against the Company occurs in either state or federal court for the purpose of challenging or upholding an arbitration decision or for any related reason, both you and the Company relinquish any right to a jury trial, preferring to have the issue settled by a judge.
Exclusion of Group or Combined Proceedings. All conflicts and claims that fall under this arbitration agreement need to be resolved or taken to court as separate instances, not as part of a group. Furthermore, the claims of different customers or users cannot be brought together or combined for arbitration or legal proceedings with those of another customer or user.
Secrecy. Every element of the arbitration process must be kept completely private. The parties commit to keeping things confidential unless the law demands disclosure. However, this section does not prohibit a party from presenting any required information to a legal court to uphold this contract, to carry out an arbitration decision, or to request preventative or fair legal remedies.
Severability Clause: In the event that a competent court determines any section or sections of this Arbitration Agreement to be legally invalid or unenforceable, those particular section or sections will be considered null and void. They will be disconnected from the rest of the Agreement, which will remain valid and enforceable in its entirety.
Waiver of Rights. The party that a claim is made against can choose to forgo any or all of the rights and restrictions detailed in this Arbitration Agreement. This act of forgoing rights will not impact or nullify any other parts of the Arbitration Agreement.
Endurance of the Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall continue to be in effect even after the conclusion of your association with the Company.
Despite the aforementioned points, you or the Company have the right to initiate a separate legal case in a small claims court.
Notwithstanding the above, either party has the right to pursue immediate legal remedies from either a state or federal court to preserve the current situation until an arbitration can be held. Seeking such temporary measures does not constitute a relinquishment of any other rights or responsibilities outlined in this Arbitration Agreement.
Exemptions to Mandatory Arbitration. Despite the previous statements, any accusations of slander, breaches of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, as well as any allegations of unauthorized use or theft of the other party's patents, copyrights, trademarks, or confidential information will not be covered by this Arbitration Agreement.
Whenever the aforementioned Arbitration Agreement allows the parties to take legal action in court, they agree to accept the authority of the courts situated in Netherlands County, California, for those matters.
The website could fall under the export control laws of the United States, as well as potentially be impacted by export or import rules in other nations. You consent to not transmit, either directly or indirectly, any technical information from the United States that you obtained from the Company, nor any products that incorporate this data, in a manner that breaks the export laws or regulations of the United States.
The business can be found at the location specified in Section 10.8. Should you reside in California and wish to lodge a complaint, you have the option to reach out to the Complaint Assistance Unit that falls under the Division of Consumer Product which is part of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. This can be done either through a written correspondence addressed to 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by making a phone call to the number (800) 952-5210.
Electronic Interaction: Your discussions with the firm occur digitally, whether you interact with us through the website, send emails, or receive notices and messages from the firm via the website or email. For matters relating to agreements, you are (a) giving your approval to get messages from the firm electronically, and (b) acknowledging that all documents, including agreements, terms, notifications, and disclosures provided to you by the firm in digital format are as legally valid as if they were provided in written form on paper.
Full Agreement. The entirety of the agreement between you and us concerning your use of the Site is encapsulated in these Terms. Our failure to assert or apply any term or condition stated in these Terms does not imply we are relinquishing those rights. The headings used throughout these Terms are meant solely for your convenience and bear no legal or contractual significance. The term "including" is to be interpreted as "including, but not limited to." Should any part of these Terms be determined invalid or not enforceable, the remainder stays unaffected, and the problematic clause will be modified to ensure its validity and enforceability to the fullest legal extent. You are working with the Company as an independent contractor, not as an employee or partner. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, nor can you assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer your agreement obligations without the express, prior written consent of the Company. Any attempt to do so without such consent will be ineffective and null. The Company retains the right to transfer these Terms. The responsibilities and conditions outlined in these Terms are enforceable upon any successors.
Your Confidentiality. Make sure to review our Privacy Policy.
