We will strive to answer your concerns. If you believe that your complaint has not been addressed completely, please let us know so that we may do further investigation.
- Limitation Period. TO THE FULL DEGREE THAT THE RELEVANT LAW PERMITS, YOU AND PENGUIN HEALTH AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IN RELATION TO OR ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OF USE, OUR SITE, OUR PRODUCTS OR OUR SERVICES MUST BEGIN WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OR ELSE, THE CAUSE OF ACTION WILL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
- Dispute Resolution, Mandatory Arbitration, Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. Please take time to carefully go through the following arbitration agreement in this Section 23.4 (“Arbitration Agreement”). This agreement requires that you arbitrate disputes with Penguin Health and places limits on the manner in which you may seek out relief from us. In this agreement, “Penguin Health”, “we” or “us” include the Penguin Health Parties.
- Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You are in agreement that any claim or dispute in relation to your use of or access to our Site, or the Products we sell and distribute through our Site, to any of our advertising for our Products or Site, or this Arbitration Agreement, or to any part of your customer relationship with Penguin Health, shall be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court, except that (1) you or we declare claims in small claims court if they qualify and remain exclusively in such court; and (2) Penguin Health or you may seek reasonable relief in court for infringement or other mishandling of intellectual property rights (including domain names, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets, patents and copyrights). This Arbitration Agreement applies, with no limitations, to all claims that were made or were contended before the effective date of this Arbitration Agreement or any previous version of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Arbitration Rules and Forum. The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In order to start an arbitration proceeding, a letter requesting an arbitration and describing your claim must be sent by you to our registered agent, National Registered Agents, Inc. 160 Greentree DR. Ste 101, Dover, DE 19904. JAMS, an established provider of alternative dispute resolution, will conduct the arbitration. Disputes that involve claims and counterclaims below $250,000, excluding attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject ot JAMS’s most recent version of the Streamline Arbitration Rules and procedures that can be found at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims will be subjected to JAMS’s most recent version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, which can be found at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. You can also access JAMS’s rules through www.jamsadr.com or by through phone by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is unavailable for arbitration, then an alternative arbitral forum will be chosen by the parties. If it is found by the arbitrator that you are unable to pay JAMS’s administrative, filing, hearing and/or other fees and are unable to obtain a waiver from JAMS, Penguin Health will assist you in paying them. Additionally, Penguin Health will reimburse any of the JAMS’s administrative, filing, hearing and/or other fees for claims that total less than $10,000 unless it is determined by the arbitrator that the claims are frivolous. By your choice, an arbitration can be done over the phone, based on written submissions, or in person within the country where you reside or at another mutually agreed upon location. Judgement on any award given by the arbitrator can be entered into any court with competent jurisdiction.
- Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator has the sole authority to (A) determine the extent and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; and (B) resolve disputes in relation to the applicability, interpretation, formation or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement including, but in no limitation of, any claim that says that all or part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or is voidable. It is the arbitrator’s job to decide what your and Penguin Health’s liabilities and rights are, if any. There will be no consolidation of the arbitration proceeding with any other matters or combination with any other case or parties. The arbitrator will be given the authority to grant motions determinative of all or part of a claim. The arbitrator will be given the authority to grant monetary damages and also to grant any non-monetary relief or remedy available to the person under relevant law, the arbitral forum’s rules as well as the Agreement (which includes the Arbitration Agreement). A written award as well as a statement of decision detailing the important findings and conclusions upon which the award is based, such as the calculation of any awarded damages, will be issued by the Arbitrator. The authority given to an arbitrator for awarding relief on an individual basis is the same as that of a judge within a court of law. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding for both you and Penguin Health.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Penguin Health Hereby Declare That You Waive Any Statutory or Constitutional Rights to Sue in Court and Hold a Trial Presided by a Judge or Jury. You and Penguin Health will instead opt for the resolution of all claims and disputes through arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except in the situations specified in Section 23(d)(i) above. The authority given to an arbitrator for awarding relief and damage on an individual basis is the same as that of a judge within a court of law and must adhere to this Agreement as would be done by a court. There is, however, no judge or jury in an arbitration, and court review for an arbitration award is very limited.
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. All Disputes and Claims Contained in the Scope of This Arbitration Agreement Have to Be Arbitrated Individually and Not as a Class or a Collective Basis, Only Individual Relief Is Accessible, and Claims by One or More Person(s) Cannot Be Consolidated or Arbitration with Those of Others. If a decision that has been issued states that relevant law prevents the enforcement of any of the limitations within this subsection regarding a given claim for relief, that and only that claim for relief has to be detached from the arbitration and brought to the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. Other claims will be arbitrated.
