RESOLVING DISPUTES WITH FASTINCENSE.COM
By accepting these Terms, you are agreeing to resolve any dispute with us through binding arbitration or small claims dispute procedures (unless you opt-out), and to waive your rights to a jury trial and to participate in any class action suit. For additional terms and conditions governing a dispute between us, choice of law, disclaimers of certain warranties, limitations of liabilities, and your indemnification obligations, see “Other Terms Regarding Dispute Resolution” below.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”)
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND WE ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR DISPUTES IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT OR OUR PRODUCTS, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
This includes any claims against other parties relating to Products provided or billed to you (such as our suppliers, dealers, authorized retailers, or third-party vendors, including shippers) whenever you also assert claims against us in the same proceeding. You and we each also agree that the Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, not state law, apply and govern the enforceability of this dispute resolution provision (despite the general choice of law provision set forth below).
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES). OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Notwithstanding the above, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION IF YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE EARLIER OF THE DATE YOU PURCHASED ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS FROM WHATEVER SOURCE OR THE DATE YOU USED ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You must opt-out by the Opt-Out Deadline for each Product you purchase or use. You may opt-out of these arbitration procedures by sending a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested to 3200 Broadway, Suite 530, Garland, TX 75043.
In order to opt-out, you must provide your name, address, and the date on which you made a purchase at fastincense.com. You acknowledge and agree that we shall treat subsequent purchases or uses without a corresponding opt-out as not part of the same transaction or occurrence to the specific Products you enumerated and for which you opted out. Any opt-out received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you will be required to pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.
You acknowledge and agree that your opt-out of this arbitration agreement will be effective not longer than one year. Accordingly, you will be required to renew your opt-out if you purchase more Products.
For any and all disputes or claims you have, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve your claim by sending a written description of your claim to the address provided in the “How Do We Notify Each Other” Section below. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or court proceeding unless you and we are unable to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after we receive your claim description and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with us during that time.
If we are unable to resolve your claim within sixty (60) days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or we may start arbitration or small claims court proceedings. To begin arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent (see the “How Do We Notify Each Other” section below) and to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration of all disputes will be administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, except to the extent any of those rules conflicts with our agreement in these Terms, in which case these Terms will govern. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. If the claims asserted in any request or demand for arbitration could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or we may elect to have the claims heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party of that election in writing. The arbitration of all disputes will be conducted by a single arbitrator, who shall be selected using the following procedure: (a) the AAA will send the parties a list of five candidates; (b) if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from that list, each party shall return its list to the AAA within ten (10) days, striking up to two candidates, and ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference; (c) the AAA shall appoint as arbitrator the candidate with the highest aggregate ranking; and (d) if for any reason the appointment cannot be made according to this procedure, the AAA may exercise its discretion in appointing the arbitrator. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay or reimburse all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys’ fees. In addition, for claims under five thousand dollars ($5,000) as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if permitted under applicable law.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, INCLUDING SMALL CLAIMS COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION.
If we believe that any claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with this limitation, then you agree that we may seek an order from a court determining whether your claim is within the scope of this class action waiver. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim, the arbitration agreement and Class Action Waiver will not apply to that claim, but they will still apply to any and all other claims that you or we may assert in that or any other action.
If you opt-out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this Class Action Waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
JURY TRIAL WAIVER
If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
NOTIFICATIONS
You may contact us at 3200 Broadway, Suite 530, Garland, TX 75043, by sending a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested. Electronic notices, if any, are considered delivered when sent. Mail notices are considered delivered three (3) days after mailing.
To begin arbitration you must send your written demand and a copy of these Terms to the AAA and you must serve our registered agent. Our registered agent is Registered Agents Inc., 5900 Balcones Dr., Suite 100, Austin, TX 78731. To commence any other legal proceeding, you must serve our registered agent.
