THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. AZULÓN® MAKES NO WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE WEBSITE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ANY INFORMATION BEFORE RELYING ON IT.

12. Arbitration, Governing Law and Disputes

MOST CUSTOMER CONCERNS CAN BE RESOLVED QUICKLY AND TO THE CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION BY CONTACTING AZULÓN® AT info@azulonapts.com OR CALLING 1-714-438-1500. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT AZULÓN IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE YOUR CONCERNS, WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THESE TERMS. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ARBITRATION USES A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY, ALLOWS FOR MORE LIMITED DISCOVERY THAN IN COURT, AND IS SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY COURTS. ARBITRATORS CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF THAT A COURT CAN AWARD. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. AZULÓN WILL PAY ALL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE ARBITRATOR, FOR SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL CLAIM, NO MATTER WHO WINS, SO LONG AS YOUR CLAIM IS NOT FRIVOLOUS OR BROUGHT IN BAD FAITH. HOWEVER, IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND AZULÓN WILL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS´ FEES FROM THE OTHER PARTY TO THE SAME EXTENT AS YOU WOULD IN COURT.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a)  AZULÓN and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to the Terms, or use of the Website, via the Website or through mobile application, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law.  However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate.  For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims you or we may have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including seeking injunctive and other equitable relief, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction.  The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to: claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; claims relating to our Website; claims arising out of or relating to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act; claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

For purposes of this arbitration agreement, references to ” AZULÓN,” “you,” and “us” shall include our respective parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, websites of the foregoing, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services, products or information provided or made available under this or prior agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use or access of the Website.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.  You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and AZULÓN are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action to the maximum extent permitted by law.  These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.  This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms or your relationship with AZULÓN for any reason.

(b)  A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).  The Notice to AZULÓN should be addressed to: General Counsel – Arbitration Demand, 3315 Fairview Road, Costa Mesa, California 92626 (“Notice Address”).  The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief you seek from AZULÓN (“Demand”).  If AZULÓN and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or AZULÓN may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(c)  After AZULÓN receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee.  The filing fee currently is $200, but is subject to change by the arbitration provider.  The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA.  The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement as well as the Terms’ other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement or any other term of the Terms including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement or the Terms is void or voidable.  However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether these Terms permit class or representative proceedings.  For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the applicable law.  The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.  Unless AZULÓN and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of your state in the United States, and hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing or registered address in the United States.  Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, AZULÓN will pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any individual (but not class or representative) arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above.  If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in the United States Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse AZULÓN for all monies previously disbursed by it that are then your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by AZULÓN or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or AZULÓN is entitled.  In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California.  Such offers in compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding.  The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary).

(d)  Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(e)  YOU AND AZULÓN AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.  If the immediately foregoing sentence is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void.  However, if only a portion of such sentence is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the sentence shall be stricken, and the remainder of the sentence enforced. Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(f)  Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if AZULÓN makes any change to this arbitration agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) after your use of the Website, you may reject any such change and require AZULÓN to adhere to the language in this arbitration agreement as written at the time of your use of the Website if a dispute between us arises, by providing Notice to AZULÓN at the Notice Address in subsection (b) above.

13. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Azulón’s® failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive Azulón’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. These Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Azulón with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to these Terms or the Website must be commenced within six (6) months after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action shall be barred. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Azulón, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void. Azulón reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms or special terms or rules set forth on the Website, including without limitation the right to block access from a particular internet address.
