PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

You and HomeFoods agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or your use of the Application (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights (the action described in this clause (ii) shall be referred to as an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each of the parties consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. Unless you and HomeFoods agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HOMEFOODS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND HOMEFOODS OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

  1. Pre-Arbitration Resolution and Notification

Prior to initiating arbitration, you and HomeFoods each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution. You must send this notification to HomeFoods by email at [email protected]with “Pre-Arbitration Notice” in the subject line. HomeFoods will send its notice to the email address associated with your HomeFoods account. This notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of your claim, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If you and HomeFoods cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after the notification is received, then either party may commence arbitration proceedings.

14.4Arbitration Process and Rules

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration and a separate form for California residents at www.adr.org.

The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney licensed to practice law and with at least ten years of experience. The arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. 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 AAA Rules.

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and this Agreement. The arbitrator will 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 arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and HomeFoods.

  1. Arbitration Fees and Awards

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. If you prevail in the arbitration, HomeFoods will reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. If HomeFoods prevails in the arbitration, neither you nor HomeFoods will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees or expenses unless applicable law specifically requires such an award.

YOU AND HOMEFOODS 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, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, and neither you nor HomeFoods shall be entitled to arbitrate the Dispute.

With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 14.6 (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Arbitration Agreement will still apply. If the Class Action Waiver is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then Section 14 will be deemed inapplicable and any Dispute shall proceed in a court as set forth in Section 14.9.

You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to[email protected] within thirty (30) days of first registering for or using the Application. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with HomeFoods through arbitration. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have with HomeFoods.

To the extent that the Arbitration Agreement above does not apply, or if you opt out of arbitration, you and HomeFoods agree that any litigation between us shall be filed exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you expressly consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Application or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This limitation does not apply to IP Protection Actions or to claims specifically exempt from such limitation under California law.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with HomeFoods.

HomeFoods reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to all or part of the Application, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including without limitation, breach of this Agreement. Upon termination, your right to use the Application will immediately cease, and you must destroy all materials obtained from the Application and all copies thereof.

This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices, policies, guidelines, and agreements published by HomeFoods on the Application, constitutes the entire agreement between you and HomeFoods concerning the Application and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written, between you and HomeFoods with respect to the Application. No oral or written information or advice given by HomeFoods, its employees, representatives, agents, or contractors shall create a warranty or otherwise modify this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision of any other HomeFoods agreement or policy, the provisions of this Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter hereof.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect. Any unenforceable provision shall be replaced by HomeFoods with a provision that most closely approximates the intention of the unenforceable provision.

The failure of HomeFoods to enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision, nor will it be deemed a waiver of HomeFoods’s right to require strict compliance with the provisions of this Agreement in the future. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of HomeFoods. No single waiver shall constitute a continuing or subsequent waiver. HomeFoods’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive.

This Agreement, and any rights, obligations, and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of HomeFoods, and any attempted assignment, transfer, or delegation without such consent will be void and of no effect. HomeFoods may assign, transfer, delegate, or sublicense this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without restriction or notification to you. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications provided by HomeFoods under this Agreement, including those regarding modifications to this Agreement, will be given: (i) by posting to the Application; (ii) by email to the email address associated with your account; (iii) by text message to the phone number associated with your account; or (iv) by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post to the address associated with your account. For notices made by email or text message, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

HomeFoods shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement that results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, embargoes, labor disputes, power failures, network or system outages, internet disruptions, computer viruses, fire, flood, earthquakes, explosions, epidemics, pandemics, public health emergencies, unusually severe weather conditions, government regulations or orders, shortage of supplies, carriers, or infrastructure, or other similar events. In the event of such failure or delay, the date of performance will be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of the delay.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and HomeFoods. Neither party shall have the authority to enter into agreements of any kind on behalf of the other or bind the other in any manner whatsoever. You and HomeFoods are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates any special relationship between the parties, such as a partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship.

This Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties and does not create any third-party beneficiary rights, except as expressly stated herein. A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no rights under or in connection with it, except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

The section titles and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” Words used in the singular include the plural, and vice versa. Words of one gender include all other genders. Wherever the word “may” is used, it means that HomeFoods has the sole discretion to take or not take the specified action. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Your use of the Application includes the ability to enter into agreements electronically. You acknowledge that your electronic submissions constitute your agreement and intent to be bound by such agreements. Your agreement to enter into such contracts electronically shall be effective as to all aspects of this Agreement, including any additional terms, conditions, and policies incorporated herein.

Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Application must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred. This provision shall not extend any shorter limitation periods established by applicable law.

HomeFoods makes no representation that all features, products, or services discussed on the Application are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States or in all territories within the United States. If you choose to access the Application from locations outside California or from restricted jurisdictions, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Application may be subject to U.S. export control laws. You agree not to, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Application to, or make the Application accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. You further agree to comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Application available outside the U.S.

Except as provided herein, the rights and remedies provided under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided under this Agreement or by law. Any specific right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to HomeFoods in any provision of this Agreement shall not preclude the concurrent or consecutive exercise of a right or exhaust a remedy provided in any other provision hereof.

If you are a California resident, to the extent permitted by California law, you agree to waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
