9. Arbitration Agreement

Using or accessing the Website constitutes your acceptance of this Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement“). Please read it carefully as it provides that you and Global Foods waive any right to file a lawsuit in court or participate in a class action for matters within the scope of the Arbitration Agreement.

Scope of Arbitration Agreement

ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, OR CLAIMS (“DISPUTES“) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TERMS, INCLUDING ANY QUESTION REGARDING ITS EXISTENCE, VALIDITY OR TERMINATION, ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND GLOBAL FOODS, YOUR PURCHASE(S) FROM GLOBAL FOODS, YOUR COMMUNICATIONS WITH GLOBAL FOODS (WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY), AND/OR VISITING THE WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. YOU AGREE THAT GLOBAL FOODS AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY EXCEPT THAT (A) YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND (B) YOU OR GLOBAL FOODS MAY SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF IN COURT FOR INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS TRADEMARKS, TRADE DRESS, DOMAIN NAMES, TRADE SECRETS AND PATENTS). YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BUT MAY BE CONSOLIDATED WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS PURSUANT TO THE JAMS, INC. (“JAMS“) RULES CITED BELOW. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL AGENCIES. 

Governing Law

The Federal Arbitration Act, codified at 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. In all other respects, the laws of the State of Missouri shall control without regard to conflicts of law principles.

Pre-Arbitration and Arbitration Procedures and Rules

If you have a Dispute, you agree to first contact us by email at info@globalfoodstl.com to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If the Dispute cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within sixty (60) days, you and Global Foods agree to resolve the Dispute through binding and final arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement instead of through court proceedings unless permitted by this Arbitration Agreement.

Unless modified by this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures located at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration for individual claims totaling less than $250,000, and the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures located at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ for all other claims. The JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines located at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures shall apply to all qualifying arbitrations. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will agree upon an alternative arbitral forum. 

Arbitration Forum

The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, and in accordance with applicable laws. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination shall be made by the applicable rule-making authority or by the arbitrator.

Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable; and (c) resolve all Disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have, including to grant temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief), and relief providing for specific performance of these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Global Foods.

The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Jury Trial Waiver

YOU AND GLOBAL FOODS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. 

No Class Actions or Class Arbitrations Permitted

YOU AND GLOBAL FOODS AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. This means that neither you nor Global Foods may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Arbitration Agreement, individual arbitrations may be consolidated pursuant to applicable JAMS rules, and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines located at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures shall apply to all qualifying arbitrations. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement, including this section, is intended to limit the relief available to you in small claims court. Nor does anything in this section limit your or Global Foods ability to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims whether through mediation or otherwise.

Severability and Survival

If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement and the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of your relationship with Global Foods.

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 in this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out by emailing us at info@globalfoodstl.com. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of accepting the Terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms in this Arbitration Agreement. If you timely opt out of these arbitration provisions, Global Foods also will not be bound by them. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other provisions of the Terms shall apply.

10. Waiver & Severability 

The failure of Global Foods to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of these Terms by us must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Global Foods. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. 

11. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our express prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of our rights or obligations under these Terms without restriction.
