DISPUTES
We hope to make you a happy and satisfied customer, but if there’s a dispute that needs to be resolved, this section outlines what’s expected of both of us.
You Agree to Provide hip culinary group an opportunity informally to resolve your dispute. Before you may pursue or participate in any dispute (or raise such dispute as a defense) in court or arbitration against hip culinary group, or its Associates, for any claims, including claims related in any way to hip culinary group products, these Terms of Use, billing, privacy, advertising, or hip culinary group or its Associates’ communications with you, you must first send a written description of your claim us, and you must allow us a reasonable opportunity to resolve your dispute. Your written notice must describe the problem in reasonable detail, and identify or enclose all relevant documents and information. You and hip culinary group agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to resolve your claim. If you and hip culinary group do not reach a resolution of your dispute within sixty (60) days after we receive your written notice of claim, you may pursue your claim in arbitration or, solely to the extent specifically provided below, in court.
Arbitration. You and hip culinary group agree to arbitrate all disputes between the parties, except as provided in this subsection (b). 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. This arbitration agreement covers any dispute arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, even if the claim arises or may arise before or after the term. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “hip culinary group” “you,” and “us” includes our Associates. This agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
Notwithstanding the arbitration agreement set forth in the prior paragraph, if you fail to pay in full any amounts you owe when they are due, we may assign your account for collection, and we and/or the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited to the collection of past due amounts and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or these Terms. (However, hip culinary group disclaims any and all liability, and you relieve hip culinary group from any and all liability, with respect to the conduct of any such collection agency.) In addition, we may seek injunctive relief in any court with respect to any violation of the patent, trademark, service mark, copyright, trade secret, and/or other intellectual property rights of hip culinary group or of any third party. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION if: (a) your claim qualifies for small claims court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over you and hipculinary.com is proper, in which case you may initiate proceedings in small claims court; or (b) YOU OPT OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU FIRST ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE THIS SITE OR ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS CONTAINED ON THE SITE (THE “OPT-OUT DEADLINE”). You may opt out by contacting us in writing before the Opt-Out Deadline.
Either you or hip culinary group may start an arbitration proceeding by sending to the other, by certified mail, a letter requesting arbitration (“Demand”). If you start the arbitration, you must send the Demand to us in writing. The Demand must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the relief sought. You or hip culinary group must bring any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our relationship within one (1) year after the claim arises, or the claim will be permanently barred. To the extent the law applicable under subsection (c) of these Terms of Use makes this limitations period unenforceable with respect to any claim(s), then the statutes of limitations of the State whose laws govern these Terms under subsection (c) shall apply.
YOU AND hip culinary group AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR hip culinary group, SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOUR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
IF YOU TIMELY OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE, THEN THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU. hip culinary group DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION; ACCORDINGLY, IF A COURT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THIS SUBSECTION (c), THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO YOU. WHETHER A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND hip culinary group HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
Governing Law. These Terms, and any disputes arising between you and hip culinary group related in any way to these Terms of Use or our products, including but not limited to disputes over billing, service, privacy, advertising, or hip culinary group or its Associates’ communications with you, whether based on contract, tort, statute, or common law, will be governed by the laws of the Province in which your most recent billing address (as provided to us) is located, without regard to choice of law principles.
