NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY ARISING FROM OUR NEGLIGENCE, OR OUR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY IF AND ONLY IF SUCH LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

With the exception to any  enforceability by the FAA, this agreement and your use of the Site is otherwise governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida (without regard to that state's conflict of laws rules).

 

You and 1DS agree that these terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising, and any content available on or through our Site; and claims that may arise after the termination of these terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

​

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with 1DS as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. https://www.1dsmedia.com/, under the “Contact Us” tab. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with 1DS, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

​

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these terms (including the terms or privacy policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of our our website(s) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or our Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or our  Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com ); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to the appropriate JAMS office; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to 1DS at our corporate offices, Attention: Legal Department.

​

You are responsible for your own attorneys' fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

​

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Florida, United States of America. You and 1DS further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Pinellas County, Florida in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

​

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND 1DS 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

​

Exception for Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the United States  Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” includes patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

​

30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you used to create your Account) written notice of your decision to opt out to hello@1DSMedia.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your agreement to these Terms; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, 1DS also will not be bound by them.

​

Changes to This Section: 1DS will provide notice of any changes to this section by posting on the IDS website, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you if you have an actual account. Amendments will become effective once they are posted on any 1DS website.

If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection related to changes is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the rest of the terms and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Site.

Survival: The Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions shall survive any termination of your Account or the Services.

To the extent it may be applicable, you and 1DS agree to opt out from and expressly exclude any applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. If any claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND 1DS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
