12. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS A MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BY USING OPENIGLOO IN ANY WAY, YOU AGREE TO THIS SECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY.

12.1 Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) ("FAA") governs the validity, enforceability, and interpretation of this Section 12 and preempts any conflicting state law.

12.2 Informal Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, you must send Openigloo a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The notice must be sent to:

Openigloo, Inc., 253 36th Street, C668, Brooklyn, NY 11232, Attn: Legal
Or by email to: legal@openigloo.com

The parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice. This informal resolution process is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable statute of limitations shall be tolled during this period.

12.3 Mandatory Binding Arbitration
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF OPENIGLOO SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION IS MANDATORY AND NOT OPTIONAL.
YOU AND OPENIGLOO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable rules, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules where appropriate (available at www.adr.org). If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties shall agree on an alternative arbitration provider.

The arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and may be conducted remotely (including by video, telephone, or written submissions) at the election of either party. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Delegation Clause: The parties clearly and unmistakably agree that the arbitrator—not any court—shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or part of this Section is void or voidable.

12.4 Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver
YOU AND OPENIGLOO AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of any portion of this waiver as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed and brought in court on an individual basis only.

12.5 Limited Exceptions
Small Claims Court. Small claims court if the claim qualifies and remains on an individual basis.
Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, to the extent necessary to prevent imminent harm, including misuse of intellectual property, platform abuse, or unauthorized use of data. Seeking such relief does not waive the right to compel arbitration.

12.6 Arbitration Fees
Payment of arbitration fees shall be governed by the applicable AAA rules and applicable law. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party to the extent permitted by applicable law.

12.7 Opt-Out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to Openigloo within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement. Notice may be sent by certified mail to the address listed above or by email to legal@openigloo.com.

The notice must include:

  • Your full legal name
  • The email address associated with your account
  • A clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration

If you do not timely opt out, you will be bound by this Section 12. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provisions of this Agreement. If you opt out, any disputes shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.

12.8 General
This Section 12 shall survive termination of this Agreement. If any provision of this Section is found unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. This Section 12 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall control over any conflicting provision of this Agreement.

13. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the agreement to arbitrate in Section 12 must be brought in state or federal court in or closest to New York County, New York, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there, and both parties agree to waive their right to a jury trial.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent not prohibited by law, under no circumstances shall we, our subsidiaries, partners, or affiliates, be liable to you for:

  • Personal injury or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages, arising from or relating to this Agreement, the use of or inability to use an Openigloo Account, the Services, or our or your liabilities to third parties arising from any source; or
  • Except as required under applicable law, any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages arising from the conduct of you or anyone else in connection with the use of an Openigloo Account or the Services, including but not limited to damages arising from your failure to provide accurate information.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree that if any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under this Agreement, the aggregate liability of us and our affiliates and suppliers to you for all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or your use or inability to use the Services will not exceed the greater of:

  • The amount paid under any affected order(s) giving rise to such damages; or
  • The amount of five hundred U.S. dollars ($500.00).

These limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

15. Indemnification

You agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to:

  • Your access to, use of, or inability to use your Openigloo Account or the Services;
  • Your breach or alleged breach of this Agreement;
  • Your violation of any rights of a third party, including any negligent or willful misconduct of your employees, contractors, or agents, or a breach of any contracts or other relationships between you and third parties;
  • Your violation of any applicable law; or
  • Your failure to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information in your Openigloo Account.

You shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. Openigloo reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Openigloo. This indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and the termination of your use of the Services.
