Dispute Resolution

In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Buff City Soap or any other third-party service provider acting on our behalf to provide products and services to you, arising out of or relating to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, these Terms of Use, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by arbitration in Dallas, Texas before a three-arbitrator panel.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the panel shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Buff City Soap’s principal place of business is located (Dallas, Texas), without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select arbitrators with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on arbitrators within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint a panel, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the panel shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the panel shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the panel and the administration of the arbitration; however, the panel shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the panel shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The panel shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the panel may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our programs.
