8. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

   2. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.
      1. If the dispute remains unresolved thirty (30) days after you first contact the Company in writing under Section 8.1, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, "Claim") relating in any way to your purchase or use of the Products, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules") then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). The JAMS Rules and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards, the latter effective July 15, 2009, are available at https://www.jamsadr.com.
      2. Arbitration will be handled by a sole, neutral arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class, consolidated or representative arbitrations and class, consolidated or representative actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and the Company are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class, consolidated or representative action or class, consolidated or representative arbitration. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, pending a final decision by the arbitrator. You may instead assert your claim in "small claims" court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative and non-class basis.
      3. The place of arbitration will be New York, New York, but if you prefer a hearing in or closer to your hometown area, you and the Company will confer in good faith in order to identify a reasonable alternative location.
      4. Each of the Parties shall cooperate in good faith in the discovery or exchange of nonprivileged information relevant to the dispute as necessary in accordance with the JAMS Rules.
      5. The arbitrator's award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim, and the award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
      6. You and the Company shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
   3. Costs of Arbitration. Payment for any and all reasonable JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the JAMS Rules and the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, the Company will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
   4. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to legal@cherre.com or to the mailing address listed in the "How to Contact Us" section of these Terms.

These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company.
