28. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, BINDING ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
28.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver section is referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Agreement”.
28.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND FITNESS SUPERSTORE INC. AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND FITNESS SUPERSTORE INC. 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, OR CLASS 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
28.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Fitness Superstore Inc. is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing support at info@frenchfitness.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, 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 Fitness Superstore should be sent to 537 Stone Rd. STE F, Benicia, CA 94510 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Fitness Superstore Inc. and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Fitness Superstore Inc. may commence an arbitration proceeding.
28.4 Arbitration. You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Fitness Superstore Inc., whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website, and any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, including the question of arbitrability, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and Fitness Superstore Inc. are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
28.5 Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer, as may be updated from time to time. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
28.6 During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Fitness Superstore Inc. or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Fitness Superstore Inc. is entitled.
28.7 Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. The parties understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Fitness Superstore Inc. will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
28.8 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
28.9 Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 28.2 above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 28.2 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
28.10 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Fitness Superstore Inc. agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Website, you may reject any such change by sending Fitness Superstore Inc. written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).
28.11 Opt-Out. IF YOU ARE A NEW USER OF THE WEBSITE, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT PROVISION ("OPT-OUT") BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO info@frenchfitness.com ("OPT-OUT NOTICE") OR VIA U.S. MAIL TO: FITNESS SUPERSTORE INC., ATTN: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, 537 Stone Rd. STE F, Benicia, CA 94510. THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME. IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW USER OF THE WEBSITE, YOU HAVE UNTIL THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO SUBMIT AN ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE.
28.12 In order to opt-out, you must email your name, address (including street address, city, state, and zip code), and email address(es) associated with your Account(s) to which the opt-out applies, and the date you started using the Website to: info@frenchfitness.com. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms and Conditions and its Dispute Resolution, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver Section will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.
