Arbitration
Please read this section carefully because it affects rights that you might otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court proceedings.
Arbitration is different than court. There is no judge or jury, but the arbitrator can award damages. Arbitration is final, binding, and subject to only limited review by a court. By using the Service, you agree to give up your right to a trial in court except for certain small claims as described below.
You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of your use and access to the Service. This section shall be broadly interpreted to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Any dispute or claim made by you against Kenyon or against any of Kenyon’s affiliates arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, whether based on contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court.
You must first present any claim or dispute to Kenyon by contacting customer service to allow Kenyon the opportunity to resolve any dispute. You may request arbitration only after sixty (60) days from first presenting your claim or dispute to customer service and only if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved amicably. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted with the rules of a Nationwide Arbitration Organization, as modified in these Terms of Service. You and Kenyon agree that these Terms of Service evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Any such arbitration shall be brought and held in or around Clinton, Connecticut and shall be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not: (i) award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides; (ii) order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis; or (iii) award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large and/or complex cases, the arbitrators may also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules.
Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Kenyon may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. The decisions of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties involved, and any judgment or decision on any arbitration may be entered in and specifically enforced in any court having proper jurisdiction.
If any portion of this section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect.
Unless an applicable statute expressly permits awarding attorney’s fees to the prevailing party, all administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and Kenyon. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing.
