Generally. Arbitration is a method of resolving a Claim without filing a lawsuit. “Claim” means any dispute between you, Luminess Cosmetics, and/or any involved third party relating to your account, Your Use (defined here), your relationship with Luminess Cosmetics, or these Terms of Use and Conditions of Purchase. This includes any and all claims or disputes that relate in any way to your use of the Luminess Cosmetics products, your attempted use of the products, and any act or omission by Luminess Cosmetics or any third party related to your use or attempted use of the products, as well as any claims relating to advertising or representations regarding the products. You, Luminess Cosmetics, or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. Luminess Cosmetics agrees to binding arbitration should it have any Claims against you. Likewise, you agree to binding arbitration should you have any Claims against Luminess Cosmetics. By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to binding arbitration. This arbitration provision is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.
Exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, you and Luminess Cosmetics both retain the right to pursue, in a small claims court, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis. Luminess Cosmetics will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the claim is pending only in that court. In addition, this arbitration agreement also does not apply to disputes concerning trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, copyright infringement or misuse, or trademark infringement or dilution.
Waiver of Class and Representative Procedures. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND LUMINESS COSMETICS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Luminess Cosmetics agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor Luminess Cosmetics may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
Mandatory Pre-Dispute Procedures. You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any Claim (subject to the exceptions above) against Luminess Cosmetics, you will first provide Luminess Cosmetics an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us, including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely. You may send the written description by U.S. Mail to Luminess Direct, LLC, 12822 Capricorn St, Stafford, TX 77477; Attn: General Counsel. You agree to negotiate with Luminess Cosmetics in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within 60 days after Luminess Cosmetic’s receipt of your written dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to a neutral third-party mediator at the Better Business Bureau (BBB) who is qualified to perform mediation services in the State of Texas. If mediation fails to resolve the dispute you may commence arbitration in accordance with this agreement.
Commencement of Arbitration. You and Luminess Cosmetics agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within 1 year after the Claim arises (including the mandatory pre-dispute procedures outlined above) and that, to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law, any proceeding commenced after 1 year shall be barred.
Arbitration Location. For your convenience, the arbitration may be conducted in a location within the federal district where you reside. It may be held by telephone or through written submissions if both you and Luminess Cosmetics agree in writing.
Sponsoring Organization, Rules, and the Arbitrator. You agree that any Claims shall be resolved by submitting the dispute to final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator who is a retired judge, experienced attorney with experience in the subject(s) of the Claim. The arbitrator shall be chosen pursuant to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Rules and the arbitration shall be governed by the AAA Commercial Rules.
All issues shall be decided by the arbitrator, except that issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the arbitration provision and the scope, enforceability, and interpretation of the paragraph addressing the waiver of class and representative procedures shall only be determined by a court with jurisdiction to determine such matter(s).
Arbitration Fees. Luminess Cosmetics shall pay for all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for an arbitration initiated by either party. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses.
Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award costs or fees to a prevailing party, but only if applicable law allows it. Although Luminess Cosmetics may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses under some laws if it prevails, Luminess Cosmetics agrees that it will not seek such an award, unless any Claims asserted against Luminess Cosmetics are determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Any award rendered by an arbitrator shall include a written opinion and shall be final, subject to limited appeal rights as permitted by law or the FAA.
Survival and Severability. This agreement to arbitrate survives any termination of your account or relationship with Luminess Cosmetics, bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer. Except as provided otherwise in the "waiver of class and representative procedures" provision, if any portion of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this agreement to arbitrate shall remain in full force and effect.
Miscellaneous. Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any Claims will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. The agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 7 constitutes the entire arbitration agreement between you and Company and shall not be modified except in writing by Luminess Cosmetics.
RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, USE, OR ATTEMPTED USE OF A LUMINESS COSMETICE PRODUCT (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST) BY WRITING TO LUMINESS DIRECT LLC, 12822 CAPRICORN ST., STAFFORD, TEXAS 77477; ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL. FOR YOUR OPT-OUT NOTICE TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU MUST SUBMIT A SIGNED WRITTEN NOTICE IDENTIFYING ANY LUMINESS COSMETIC PRODUCT YOU PURCHASED, USED OR ATTEMPTED TO USE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS AND THE DATE YOU FIRST PURCHASED, USED OR ATTEMPTED TO USE LUMINESS COSMETIC PRODUCTS. YOU MAY ALSO OPT OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER WE NOTIFY YOU OF A MATERIAL CHANGE TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. UNTIMELY OPT-OUTS WILL NOT BE VALID AND YOU MUST THEN PURSUE YOUR CLAIM THROUGH ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS.
In order to avoid irreparable injury to Luminess Cosmetics, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by you of these Terms of Use, we shall be entitled to seek an injunction and/or other equitable relief restraining such breach. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting Luminess Cosmetics from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of monetary damages from you.
