Dispute Resolution, Governing Law.
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Company in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, and except as Set forth in Section 19(b) below, you and Company agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, your use of the App, Website, Services, and our communications with you, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Except as set forth in Section 19(a), nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Company shall be administered by JAMS (Seattle) pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. If the parties are unable to agree on a single arbitrator, the then current manager of JAMS (Seattle) shall appoint the arbitrator. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Company will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Seattle, Washington, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Company for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the JAMS Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
Notice of Arbitration, Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Company’s address for Notice is 22722 29TH Drive SE, Suite 10, Bothell, WA 98021-4420. The Notice of Arbitration must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or by Company must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
No Class Actions. You and Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Company 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.
Modifications. If Company makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Company’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Company’s address for Notice of Arbitration.
Enforceability. If Section 19(e) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 19 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue to resolve any dispute arising out or related to this Agreement shall be the state or federal courts in Seattle, Washington.
Opt Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section within 30 calendar days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending an to Company at support@theoriginalsleep.com. In order to be effective, the letter must be received by Company within 30 calendar days of your acceptance of these Terms and your letter must specify: your full legal name, your current residential address, the email address associated with your User Account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”)
Except as explicitly stated otherwise in these Terms, this Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any action related to this Agreement will be the state and federal courts located in the King County, Washington, and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Copyright Claims Infringement.

Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to Company at 22722 29TH Drive SE, Suite 10, Bothell, WA 98021-4420 or by email to support@theoriginalsleep.com.
