Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

This Agreement and any issue or dispute that arises out of or otherwise relates to this Agreement or with your use of the Site, the Privacy Policy, or any matter including Munchkin including the purchase of any Products on this Site (collectively “Disputes”) shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the state of California, excluding its conflict of law provisions. If a Dispute arises under this Agreement, we agree to first contact each other with a written description of the Dispute, all relevant documents and information, and the proposed resolution. You agree to send Munchkin a written notice of such dispute to: Munchkin, Inc., 7835 Gloria Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406 Attn: General Counsel. Munchkin will contact you by letter to your billing address you provided us at the time you order a Product, or other address that you submit to the Site.

If you and Munchkin are not able to resolve such a Dispute, we each agree that any and all Disputes shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in a location convenient to you. Either party may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA, and providing a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolutions Procedures, Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. We will pay all of the filing costs, including arbitrator fees. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California: (i) any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or contesting the validity of the our proprietary rights, including without limitation, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or trade secrets; or (ii) an action by a party for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief. Unless you opt-out using the mechanism below, you expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION.

You shall have thirty (30) days from the date that you access the Site or submit your personally identifiable information (whichever occurs first) to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. To opt out of arbitration you must contact us at Munchkin, Inc., 7835 Gloria Avenue, Van Nuys, CA 91406, Attn: General Counsel.

If more than thirty (30) days have passed, you are not eligible to opt out of arbitration.

General Provisions

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, no failure or delay by you or Munchkin to exercise any rights, powers, or remedies under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under the Terms by operation of law or otherwise without Munchkin’s prior written consent, and any such attempt will be of no effect.
