Dispute Resolution
Aupulens will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes
through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact
us by sending an email to notices@aupulens.com so that we can attempt to resolve it
without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren't able to reach an informal
resolution within sixty days of your email, then you and we both agree to resolve the
potential dispute according to the process set forth below. Any claim or controversy arising
out of or relating to the Site, these Terms, or any other acts or omissions for which you
may contend that we are liable, including (but not limited to) any claim or controversy as
to arbitrability ("Dispute"), shall be finally and exclusively settled by
arbitration under the JAMS Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures. You understand that
you are required to resolve all Disputes by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be
held on a confidential basis before a single arbitrator, who shall be selected pursuant to
JAMS rules. The arbitration will be held in the British Virgin Islands, unless you and we
both agree to hold it elsewhere. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not
consolidate your claims with those of any other party. Any judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17
Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
You must bring any and all disputes against us in your individual
capacity and not as a plaintiff in or member of any purported class action, collective
action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. This provision
applies to class arbitration. You and we both agree to waive the right to demand a trial by
jury.
18
Governing Law
You agree that the laws of the British Virgin Islands, without regard
to principles of conflict of laws, govern these Terms and any Dispute between you and us.
You further agree that the Site shall be deemed to be based solely in the British Virgin
Islands, and that although the Site may be available in other jurisdictions, its
availability does not give rise to general or specific personal jurisdiction in any forum
outside the British Virgin Islands. Any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall
be governed by the British Virgin Islands Arbitration Act, 2013. You agree that the federal
courts of the British Virgin Islands are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration
award or for court proceedings in the event that these binding arbitration clause of these
Terms is found to be unenforceable.
