Dispute resolution and arbitration. MANDATORY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
-
Informal Dispute Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, you and XDS agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally. A party who has a dispute must send to the other party a written notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) that (a) includes the party’s name, address, and contact information; (b) describes the nature and basis of the dispute; and (c) sets forth the specific relief sought. Any Notice of Dispute you send to XDS must be sent to 2038 Armacost Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90025 . XDS will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the contact information associated with your account. The parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiation within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Dispute is received (“Negotiation Period”). If the dispute is not resolved within the Negotiation Period, either party may then initiate arbitration in accordance with the rest of this Section 19. No arbitration may be commenced until the Negotiation Period has expired. Compliance with this Section 19.1 is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. If you file an arbitration in violation of this Section, you agree that the arbitration may be administratively dismissed without prejudice. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadline shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 19.1 shall preclude either party from seeking emergency equitable relief (including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or specific performance) from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the completion of the Negotiation Period or the resolution of any arbitration.
-
Dispute Resolution. YOU AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE INTERPRETATION, APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY, OR FORMATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR USE OF THE SERVICES AND/OR CONTENT WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION THROUGH THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS INTENDED TO BE BROADLY INTERPRETED AND INCLUDES ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND XDS REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US OR ANY CONDUCT OR FAILURE TO ACT ON OUR PART, INCLUDING CLAIMS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (FOR EXAMPLE, A NEGLIGENCE CLAIM), VIOLATION OF LAW OR ANY CLAIMS BASED ON ANY OTHER THEORY, AND INCLUDING THOSE BASED ON EVENTS THAT OCCURRED PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:
-
Any claim regarding the validity, protection, or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights) must be brought in court with jurisdiction.
-
In the event this agreement to arbitrate is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any dispute or claim against us may be commenced only in a federal or state court located in 2038 Armacost Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90025 , and we both consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for such purposes. We both also consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in those courts for purposes of any claim regarding the validity, protection, or enforcement of a party’s intellectual property rights (excluding its privacy or publicity rights). You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction, provided that: (i) the claim qualifies for small claims court under that court's jurisdictional rules; (ii) the claim is brought and maintained solely on an individual basis and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding; and (iii) if the claim is initially filed in small claims court and subsequently transferred, removed, or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction, it shall then be subject to the arbitration provisions of this Section 19. XDS retains the right to remove any small claims court action to arbitration if the claim does not qualify for small claims court or if you seek relief beyond the jurisdictional limits of that court.
-
All challenges to the interpretation or enforceability of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, including questions of arbitrability, shall be brought before the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall rule on all questions regarding the interpretation and enforceability of these Terms and Conditions.
-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, XDS may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any amounts owed by you to XDS under these Terms and Conditions, including without limitation unpaid product purchase amounts, chargebacks, or other sums due. This exception applies solely to collection actions initiated by XDS and does not permit you to bring claims against XDS in court.
-
-
This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, including its procedural provisions, in all respects.
-
Prohibition of Class Action and Non-individualized Relief. ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY THE PARTIES IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). If the prohibition on class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general actions set forth in this Section 19.3 is found by a court or arbitrator to be unenforceable with respect to any claim or dispute, then this entire Section 19 (other than Section 1.8 (Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver in Court)) shall be null and void as to that claim or dispute, and such claim or dispute shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration. The parties agree that under no circumstances shall any arbitration proceed on a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general basis.
-
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by (a) the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”), as modified by these Terms and Conditions, if you are an individual accessing or using the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes; or (b) the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”), as modified by these Terms and Conditions, if you are a business entity or an individual accessing or using the Services on behalf of a business entity, including in connection with an authorized dealer relationship with XDS. In either case, the applicable rules may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, and must enforce the same limitations stated in these Terms and Conditions as a court would. The arbitrator will issue an award decision in writing but will not provide an explanation for the award unless you or XDS requests one. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any arbitration will be confidential. Neither you, we, the AAA, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content (including any oral or written submissions), or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcing or challenging of the arbitration award.
-
Hearing Procedures.
-
Document-Only Arbitration. If no disclosed claim or counterclaim exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$25,000), the arbitration shall be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, unless either party requests a telephonic, video, or in-person hearing, or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.
-
Hearing Location. If an in-person hearing is required, such hearing shall be held in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties mutually agree to an alternative location or the arbitrator determines, based on the circumstances and applicable AAA Rules, that a different location is appropriate. Either party, or any witness, may participate in any hearing remotely by videoconference or similar means, regardless of where the hearing is held.
-
Arbitrator's Written Decision. The arbitrator shall render a written decision within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing (or, in the case of a document-only arbitration, within thirty (30) days after the final submission of documents). The written decision shall include findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the award is based, if requested by either party.
-
-
-
Demand for Arbitration. Prior to filing any Demand for Arbitration, the Claimant must complete the informal dispute resolution process set forth in Section 19.1. A Demand filed before the expiration of the Negotiation Period is premature and may be dismissed without prejudice. Subject to the foregoing, a party who intends to arbitrate (“Claimant”) must first send to the other party (“Respondent”) a written notice, entitled “Demand for Arbitration” (“Demand”). The Demand must: (1) briefly explain the dispute; (2) provide the Claimant’s name and address, the address of the Claimant’s representative (if the Claimant has one), and the Respondent’s name and address (for XDS, see below); (3) specify the amount of money in dispute, if applicable; (4) if the Claimant is requesting an in-person hearing, identify the requested location for the hearing; and (5) include a statement of what the Claimant wants. The Claimant must send one copy of the Demand to AAA at the same time the Claimant sends it to the Respondent. When sending a copy of the Demand to AAA, the Claimant must also include a copy of this arbitration agreement and any amendments to it (see Section 19.8) and the then current filing fee required by the AAA. The Demand must be sent to the AAA at the following address:
American Arbitration Association
Case Filing Services
1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100
Voorhees, NJ 08043
Alternatively, the Demand may be filed with the AAA online using AAA WebFile: https://www.adr.org.
Any Demand to XDS should be addressed to:
XDS’ Address
[ 2038 Armacost Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90025 ]
-
Filing, Administration and Arbitrator Fees. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Section 19. Each party will bear its own fees in connection with the arbitration, including the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing. In addition, the provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 (cost-shifting) shall apply and be enforced by the arbitrator following entry of an award. You and XDS agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration, and therefore either party may elect to engage with the AAA regarding arbitration fees, and the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
-
OPT-OUT PROCEDURE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 19, YOU MUST NOTIFY XDS IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU MAY OPT OUT BY MAILING A WRITTEN NOTICE TO XDS AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ABOVE. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO XDS MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER, AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH XDS THROUGH ARBITRATION. IF YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION, ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY.
-
Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver in Court. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND XDS EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. THIS MEANS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM WOULD BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE, NOT A JURY. FURTHER, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT PROCEEDS IN COURT, YOU AND XDS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
-
Amendment to Arbitration Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms and Conditions to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to the arbitration provisions in this Section in the future (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein), that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against XDS prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and XDS. We will notify you of amendments to the arbitration provisions of this Section by posting the amended terms on these Terms and Conditions, and/or by providing notice to you by email, at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may immediately cease all use of the Services and delete the Application from your Mobile Devices, and you will not be bound by the amended terms.
-
Batch Arbitration. If 25 or more claimants (including you) submit notices of dispute or demands for arbitration raising similar claims and are represented by the same or coordinated counsel, these claims may be resolved in batches of up to 50 claimants each (“Batch”), unless you and we agree otherwise or applicable AAA rules specify otherwise. AAA will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing (if any) per Batch. All parties agree that claims are “similar” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario or raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Any disagreement over the formation of Batches shall be decided by a procedural arbitrator appointed by AAA. This Batch arbitration provision shall survive termination of your agreement with us.
-
Survival of Arbitration Provisions. This Section 19, including all subsections hereof, shall survive the expiration, termination, or rescission of these Terms and Conditions, the termination or deactivation of your account, and the cessation of your use of the Services. Any dispute arising out of or relating to events that occurred during the term of these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to this Section 19 regardless of when the dispute arises.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply to these Terms and Conditions or to any transaction contemplated hereby.
