  1. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND EARTH & STAR TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY OF A JURY TRIAL.

    1. Arbitration:  Both you and Earth & Star agree to resolve by binding arbitration any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory) arising out of or in connection with or relating to (1) the Service, your use of the Service, or the information that you provide Earth & Star in connection with your use of the Service, or (2) these Terms, including without limitation, the validity, interpretation, enforcement, or application of these Terms and/or this Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/ Jury Trial Waiver section (collectively, “Claims”).  Both you and Earth & Star further agree that the arbitrator will also have the exclusive authority to determine all additional threshold arbitrability issues, including without limitation issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. 
    2. Class Action Waiver: YOU AND EARTH & STAR AGREE THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER. Further, unless both you and Earth & Star agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.  Any determination about the validity, interpretation, enforcement, and/or application of this Class Action Waiver paragraph is delegated to the arbitrator.
    3. Jury Trial Waiver:  YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EARTH & STAR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
    4. Arbitration Procedure: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the Claim to the other party by certified mail or Federal Express, or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Our address for notice is info@earthandstar.com.  You and Earth & Star agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the Claim, but if the parties do not resolve the Claim within 30 days of the Notice, then either party may commence arbitration.  Any arbitration between you and Earth & Star will be governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Earth & Star.  Unless you and Earth & Star otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.  If your claim is for less than $10,000, Earth & Star will reimburse your filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. If your claim is for greater than $10,000, the payment of all fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    5. Exceptions: Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Earth & Star both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, provided that is the sole form of relief sought, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    6. Governing Law / Forum Selection: The parties agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) and AAA Rules will govern interpretation and enforcement of this Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver section where applicable.  All other claims, disputes, or controversies will be resolved under the laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of laws principles.  For any claims, disputes or controversies that are not subject to mandatory arbitration under this section, you and Earth & Star agree that (i) a federal or state court located in Kings County, New York will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of the claim, dispute or controversy, and you and Earth & Star irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York, and  (ii) litigation of any claim, dispute, or controversy proceeding in court will be stayed pending the outcome of any related individual Claim in arbitration.   
    7. Severability / Survival: If any clause or provision set forth in this Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver section is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future law, then the clause or provision so determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable will be severable without affecting the enforceability of all remaining clauses or provisions.  This Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver section will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
    8. Changes and Opt-out: You may opt out of the applicability of this Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver section by providing Earth & Star a written opt-out notice within 30 days of the “Effective Date” above.  This written notice must be provided by mail to: FunGals, LLC, 360 Furman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.  In order to be effective, this notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject the changes to this Agreement.

    3. Entire Agreement/Severability. These Terms, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Earth & Star in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Earth & Star concerning the Service. If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable.
    4. No Waiver. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Earth & Star’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Earth & Star’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
