13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE
You and Ishen Tree agree that any and all disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Site or Services shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for commercial arbitration as in effect from time to time, with the exception of disputes brought in small claims court. Any claim made under any federal, state, or municipal statute or ordinance, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, or any other legislation, is subject to this agreement to arbitration. To the fullest extent permissible by law, you are waiving your right to pursue claims in court and opting instead for arbitration, where there is no judge or jury. There is less structure to arbitration proceedings and judicial oversight than there would be in a court case. Any arbitration between you and Ishen Tree will take place on an individual basis, not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action. If the waiver of class and representative actions in the preceding sentence is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then neither you nor we will be entitled to arbitration and any claims involving a class or representative action must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in King County, Washington, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the validity and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Any court with jurisdiction may enforce the arbitrator’s decision. Regardless of anything else in this Agreement, we both agree that any changes Ishen Tree makes to this dispute resolution provision in the future will not affect any claims for which you have previously given notice to Ishen Tree. Visit www.adr.org or call 800-778-7879 to learn more about the AAA and how to get the arbitration process started. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction in King County, Washington, rules that the arbitration provision in this Section is unenforceable or does not apply to a specific dispute, then the action must be filed entirely in that court. To that end, you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of that court. The Parties agree that the laws of the State of Washington shall apply to any questions regarding the validity or interpretation of this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.
13.1 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
You agree to contact customer support through email at support@Ishen Tree.com in an effort to settle the problem peacefully and effectively before proceeding to formal dispute resolution processes. You must send us any notice you want us to take action on within 90 days of the date of the occurrence that gave rise to the dispute. Before filing a claim in arbitration or any other form, you must first complete this pre-arbitration dispute resolution method, which you agree to do. If the parties’ attempts at alternative dispute resolution fail, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings by sending the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) within ninety calendar days of the date the parties mutually agree that the alternative dispute resolution efforts have failed. You may reach us at the address shown in Section 14.6 below with your notice. You acknowledge that if you don’t follow the procedures in this paragraph, you’ll lose the ability to bring your claims to arbitration or elsewhere.
13.2 Confidentiality
The arbitration process, as well as the arbitrator’s judgement and award, shall be held in the strictest confidence for the good of all parties involved.
13.3 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
In the event that we modify this Arbitration Agreement in the future (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are using the Service, you may reject any such modification by providing us with written notice at the Notice Address provided in the Section below within thirty (30) calendar days of the change.
