DISPUTE RESOLUTION

You and we agree to arbitrate – rather than litigate in court – any and all claims or disputes between the parties (including any parents, subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents of ours) that arise out of or in any way relate to this Service and products or services that we, our Affiliates and/or our Service Provider (on our behalf) may provide to you in connection with your use of this Service; provided, however, that in no event shall this provision prevent you from filing or joining a complaint with any federal, state, or local government agency that is authorized by law to seek relief against us on your behalf. The arbitration between you and us will be binding, and judgment on the award rendered in the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

In arbitration, there is no judge and no jury, and review of arbitration decisions in the courts is very limited. Instead, disputes will be resolved by an arbitrator, whose authority is governed by the terms of this Agreement. You and we agree that an arbitrator may only award such relief as a court of competent jurisdiction could award, limited to the same extent as a court would limit relief pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. An arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs if a court would be authorized to do so, and may issue injunctive or declaratory relief if that relief is required or authorized by the applicable law, but that injunctive or declaratory relief may not extend beyond you and your dealings with us. Discovery may be limited in arbitration, and procedures are more streamlined than in court. Notwithstanding this arbitration agreement, you and we may bring appropriate claims against each other in small claims court, if the claims fall within the small claims court’s jurisdiction, or any other federal, state, or local government agency authorized by law to hear your claims.

Class Action Waiver. You and we agree that all claims or disputes between you and us will be arbitrated individually, and that there will be no class, representative, or consolidated actions in arbitration. If you or we bring a claim in small claims court, the class action waiver will apply, and neither of the parties can bring a claim on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, neither you nor we may participate in a class or representative action as a class member if the class action asserts claims that would fall within the scope of this arbitration agreement if they were directly asserted by you or us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration agreement shall not prohibit you or us from participating in any judgment or settlement in any litigation brought by a federal, state, or local government on behalf of you or us, excluding litigation brought by any relator or party in its capacity as a private attorney general. We both agree that this class action waiver is an essential part of our arbitration agreement and that if this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable by any court or arbitrator then the entire arbitration agreement set forth in this section will not apply to any claim or dispute between you and us. This class action waiver may not be severed from our arbitration agreement.

Informal Dispute Resolution. You and we agree to try to resolve disputes informally before resorting to arbitration. If the dispute cannot be resolved by telephone, you agree to notify us of the dispute by sending a written description of your claim to The Local Palate PO BOX 639, Charleston SC 29402 so that we can attempt to resolve it with you. If we do not satisfactorily resolve your claim within sixty - (60) calendar days of receiving notice of it, then you may pursue the claim in arbitration. Neither you nor we may initiate arbitration without first providing the other notice of the claim and following the informal dispute resolution procedure provided in this paragraph.

Arbitration Procedures. You and we agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act applies. All arbitrations shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA’s rules are available on its website at http://www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If the claim asserted in arbitration is for less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. If the claim asserted is for $75,000 or more, the Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. If there is a conflict between the AAA’s rules and this dispute resolution agreement, this dispute resolution agreement shall control. To initiate arbitration, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claims to The Local Palate PO BOX 639, Charleston SC 29402. You must also comply with the AAA’s rules regarding initiation of arbitration. We will pay all filing fees and costs for commencement of an arbitration, but you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator pursuant to the terms of this agreement or applicable law. We will not seek to recover our fees and costs from you in the arbitration unless your claim has been determined to be frivolous. The arbitration will be held in a mutually convenient location. If you seek less than $5,000 then you may choose to hold the arbitration in person, via phone, or to have it decided based on written submissions.

Please note: we will not act as the agent for either you or third party vendors or other users in connection with resolving any disputes related to or arising out of use of this Service. We urge you and the third party vendor or other user to cooperate with each other to resolve such disputes.

USE OF COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES:

We may provide a variety of options through this Service through which you can directly interact with others, such as email services, chat rooms, communications tools, forums, classifieds and other user and third party-submitted advertising, and other public posting areas (“Communications Services”). For example, you may be able to upload Materials to participate in a contest, and you may be able to send a message to another user or third party vendor regarding content or products listed on our Service. We want to encourage an open exchange of information and ideas, but at the same time we want everyone to be able to enjoy these Communications Services.

Without limiting the terms of the Privacy Policy, we will not, in the ordinary course of business, review private electronic messages that are not addressed to us or other content or materials submitted through this Service. However, we maintain the right to do so and to use any other forms of information available to us by virtue of your use of our Service (including, for example, reverse IP address inquiry) in order to comply with the law, to enforce this Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our Service, our customers, the public, our employees, Service Providers and Affiliates.

We reserve the right to deny access to any Communications Service to anyone who violates this Agreement or who, in our judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy our Service or infringes the rights of others. We will comply with the requirements of the law regarding disclosure of any messages to others, including law enforcement agencies.

With respect to all emails and communications you send to us, including, but not limited to, feedback, questions, comments, suggestions, and the like (“Feedback”), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use and publish such Feedback for any purpose, without compensation or attribution to you. We shall be free to use any Feedback contained in your communications for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to, the development, production, and marketing of products and services that incorporate such information.

Specific Prohibited Uses. Without limiting the foregoing, we may immediately terminate your use of any Communications Service or our Service if you engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

Spam. We will immediately terminate any account which we believe is being used to transmit, or is otherwise connected with, any spam or other unsolicited bulk email in connection with any messaging service or Communications Service made available through the Service.

Otherwise you agree to pay our actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated.

Viruses. Because of the volume of messages sent by us and through the Service, we cannot and do not always monitor such messages and attachments.

You also acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for screening the messages and attachments for viruses, worms and other harmful components.
