26. Claims resolution

Contact District Vision First

If a dispute arises between you and District Vision, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns. You agree that you will notify District Vision about any dispute you have with District Vision regarding these Terms & Conditions by contacting District Vision.

Binding Arbitration

You and District Vision agree, subject to section 26(G) (Protection of Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights), to submit any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions or your use of the Products and/or Subscription Services to binding arbitration rather than by filing any lawsuit in any forum other than set forth in this section. Further you agree arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. You also waive your right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may be validly made.

This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Products. Subject to section 26(G) (Protection of Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights), any dispute or claim made by you against us or us against you arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions or your use of the Products(whether based in contract, tort, statute, 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 a court.

Arbitration Procedures

You must first present any claim or dispute to District Vision by contacting us to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days after presenting the claim or dispute to District Vision. District Vision may request arbitration against you at any time after it has notified you of a claim or dispute in accordance with section 27(Notifications).

The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this agreement. The place of any arbitration will be New York, NY, USA, and will be conducted in the English language. Claims will be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or declaratory relief, 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.

Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor District Vision nor the arbitrator 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. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

No Class Actions

There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to this arbitration section to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general).

Fees and Expenses

All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and District Vision. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration hearing.

Protection of Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, District Vision may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notifications

District Vision may provide notifications to you as required by law or for marketing or other purposes via (at its option) email to the primary email associated with your District Vision account, hard copy, or posting of such notice on the District Vision website. District Vision is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications. District Vision recommends that you add @districtvision.com URLs to your email address book to help ensure you receive email notifications from District Vision.

Governing law

This agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the United States of America, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms, or any items purchased from District Vision, shall be filed only in the courts located in New York County, New York and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action, unless such action is required to be arbitrated as set forth in an above section.
