Arbitration
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH FOTOFETCH AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE THE SERVICES.
You and FotoFetch Corporation agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or relating to the Services. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and FotoFetch Corporation agree: (i) to notify each other of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises; (ii) to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; (iii) that any arbitration will occur in Reno, Nevada; and (iv) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable). The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. Other than class procedures and remedies described in these Terms of Use, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and FotoFetch Corporation are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or other relief for (1) the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents or (2) allegedly criminal conduct under laws of the United States or any state thereof including, but not limited to, criminal laws addressing pornography, exploitation, obscenity, or hate speech.
The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different FotoFetch Corporation or FotoFetch users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same FotoFetch Corporation or FotoFetch user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. YOU AND FOTOFETCH CORPORATION AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND FOTOFETCH CORPORATION AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER FOTOFETCH USERS.
Unless you and FotoFetch Corporation agree otherwise, in the event that a court decides that any part of this section is invalid or unenforceable, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and FotroFetch Corporation must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Reno, Nevada. The remainder of the Terms of Use will continue to apply. You and FotoFetch Corporation agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Reno, Nevada for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
Non-Assignability
FotoFetch Corporation may assign or delegate these Terms of Service and/or the FotoFetch Corporation Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void.
Severability, No Waiver, and Survival
If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the Agreement will be construed to reflect the parties’ original intent. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of FotoFetch Corporation to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
Amendments; Complete Agreement
This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment signed by an authorized representative of FotoFetch Corporation, or by the posting by FotoFetch Corporation of a revised version in accordance with section Changes to These Terms. These Terms of Service, together with the FotoFetch Corporation Privacy Policy and Photographer Terms of Use and Customer Terms of Use, as applicable, represent the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and us. This Agreement supersedes any proposal or prior agreement oral or written, and any other communications between you and FotoFetch Corporation relating to the subject matter of these terms including any confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements.
