DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW.
Disputes. The terms of this Section shall apply to all Disputes (defined below) between you and APL. For the purposes of this Section, "Dispute" shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and APL arising under or relating to your use of the Site, these Terms, our products, or any other transaction involving you and APL, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND APL AGREE THAT "DISPUTE" AS DEFINED IN THESE TERMS SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY APL FOR: (1) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION; (2) PATENT INFRINGEMENT; (3) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE; (4) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION; OR (5) ANY OTHER CLAIM FOR WHICH INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IS APPROPRIATE IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF APL.
Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this section by sending a written letter to APL at Contact Us within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to these Terms (including your first use of the Services) that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; (3) and your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of these Terms shall continue to apply.
Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or APL must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). The Dispute Notice to APL must be addressed to Athletic Propulsion Labs, LLC, 9701 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 1000, Beverly Hills, CA. 90212 ("APL Notice Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. If APL and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) calendar days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or APL may proceed to mediation as articulated in this Section. You and APL will work in good faith to schedule the informal conference at a mutually convenient time. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution conference, but you shall also fully participate in such discussions. The arbitrator may dismiss any arbitration brought without first proceeding through the informal dispute resolution conference.
Mediation. In the event the parties cannot resolve the Dispute via the informal dispute resolution conference, the Dispute must first be submitted to non-binding mediation before a neutral third party before it may proceed to arbitration. Selecting the mediator, the appropriate terms for mediation (including costs), and a date for mediation shall be negotiated in good faith between the parties. The administrative fees associated with mediation shall be negotiated between the parties, but you will not be required to pay any such fees that exceed those fees you would be required to pay if proceeding in a court of law. Such fees also will not include attorneys’ fees and costs, if any, unless awarded during mediation. If the parties cannot agree to appropriate terms concerning mediation, the parties shall be entitled to proceed with an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this section.
Binding Arbitration. In the event mediation is unsuccessful, you and APL agree: (1) to arbitrate all Disputes between you and APL pursuant to the provisions of these Terms; (2) memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce; (3) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (4) this Section shall survive termination of these Terms.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND APL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND APL AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.
MASS ACTION WAIVER. You and APL agree that any Dispute between you shall be resolved only in an individual arbitration pursuant to this Section. You and APL expressly waive the right to have any dispute, claim, or controversy brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a Mass Action, as defined below, and neither an arbitrator nor an arbitration provider shall have any authority to hear, arbitrate, or administer any Mass Action to award relief to anyone but the individual in arbitration, unless otherwise provided in this section. "Mass Action" includes instances in which you or APL are represented by a law firm or collection of law firms that has filed 25 or more arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature against the other party within 180 days of the arbitration demand filed on you or APL’s behalf, and the law firm or collection of law firms seek to simultaneously or collectively administer and/or arbitrate all arbitration demands in the aggregate. Notwithstanding this section, nothing prevents you or APL from participating in a mass settlement of claims.
Special Master Appointment. In the event there is a dispute concerning the Mass Action Waiver, the parties agree to resolve such dispute before a Special Master appointed by the arbitration provider and agreed to between the parties. The Special Master shall have authority to resolve disputes concerning: (i) filing fees owed with respect to any Mass Action; (ii) any dispute regarding whether this arbitration agreement has been followed; (iv) whether claimants are barred from proceeding with a Mass Action; (v) any dispute relating to the representation of the same claimant by multiple law firms; (vi) any dispute regarding discovery common to all claims; and (vii) any disputes regarding legal or factual issues common to all claims. If the Special Master determines you violated the Mass Action Waiver, either party shall have the opportunity to opt-out of arbitration within 30 days of the arbitrator’s decision. You may opt-out of arbitration by providing a written notice help@athleticpropulsionlabs.com. APL may opt-out of arbitration by sending written notice of its intention to the arbitration provider and to you or your attorney, agent, or representative. For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to opt-out of arbitration at this stage in the proceedings only applies if the arbitrator or panel of arbitrators determines that you have violated the Mass Action Waiver. If the parties proceed with arbitration, the parties agree to the batching procedures below.
Batching. After proceedings before the Special Master have concluded, and to the extent any Mass Actions are permitted to proceed, the parties agree that Mass Actions will be batched into groups of no more than 200 demands per batch by state of residence (with any remaining demands batched into a single group). The parties shall inform the arbitrator of the batches and their composition within 14 calendar days of the conclusion of proceedings before the Special Master. The arbitration provider shall treat each batch of claims as one case, with each case having one demand for arbitration, one appointed arbitrator, and one set of administrative documents and filing fees per batch. The parties shall randomly assign sequential numbers to each batch, and only one batch shall proceed to arbitration at a time in the order of the random sequential numbers. A separate arbitrator will be appointed to, and administrative and filing fees assessed for, each batch as the batch proceeds to arbitration.
Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and be governed by the applicable AAA rules to the Dispute; except AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the AAA rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Hearing Format. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California, but may proceed telephonically in the event the total amount of the claim does not exceed $2,500 U.S. dollars (if the claimant so chooses). In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by APL or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or APL is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
Arbitration Fees. APL will pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you, for all AAA (as applicable) filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or APL pursuant to these Terms. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and APL agree that if APL makes any material amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in these Terms, APL will notify you and you will have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments by sending a written letter to the APL Notice Address that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; and (3) your request to opt-out of such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these Terms, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.
Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of these Terms. Applicable Laws. This Site is administered by APL from its offices in Beverly Hills, California and this Site and these Terms (including without limitation the validity, construction and performance of duties related to the Terms, and any arbitrable Dispute) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and more particularly the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.
