Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and KDC agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address is the email address submitted with the creation of a User account. KDC’s address for such notices is:
KDC, LLC
3708 Airport Way S
Seattle, WA 98134
If you and KDC are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and KDC may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. In any dispute, neither party will assert that the Agreement is invalid due to illegality.
Waiver of Right to be a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Purported Class Action or Representative Proceeding. You and KDC agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between KDC and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ANDKDCARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and KDC otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
Arbitration will take place exclusively in Seattle, Washington. You and KDC agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Washington state and Federal courts located in King County have exclusive jurisdiction and you and KDC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
You may opt out of the foregoing arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision of this Agreement by notifying KDC in writing within 30 days of the date you first registered for the Service or 30 days from the date this Agreement was last updated. To opt out, you must send a written notification to KDC at 3708 Airport Way S, Seattle, WA 98134, that includes (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provisions.
Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement will be is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to choice of law principles.
