12. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE. Except as provided in Section 12.4 subject to Section 12.1, all disputes between you and MJ arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Site or Services (each, a “Dispute”) shall be, to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement, exclusively settled through binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for commercial arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court and review by a court is limited. YOU AND MJ AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN HEREIN, EACH PARTY IS HEREBY WAIVING ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AS TO ANY DISPUTE. YOU AND MJ AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the class-action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration may proceed on a class basis, then this arbitration provision shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate the underlying Dispute. This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if MJ makes any future change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual Dispute(s) that you had already provided MJ notice of. Information on AAA and how to start arbitration can be found at www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. If the arbitration in this Section is found unenforceable or to not apply for a given dispute, then the proceeding must be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in Clark County, Nevada, USA. You hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of such court for this purpose, and hereby waive, for all purposes, your right to challenge personal jurisdiction in any such court. This Agreement and any other applicable policies, rules, terms or conditions that we may issue from time to time, and the relationship between you and us, shall be governed by and interpreted solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to conflict of law provisions. Your use of the Services may also be subject to other local, state, national or international laws.
12.1 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. We are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at info@mj.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to initiate arbitration to the respective party’s mailing address
(“Notice of Dispute”). MJ may deliver the Notice of Dispute to the address maintained by MJ in its records. The Notice of Dispute to us shall be sent to the address identified in Section 13.6 below. The Notice of Dispute shall include the mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number of the initiating party; the name, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number of the initiating party’s legal counsel, if any; and a statement setting forth the details and nature of the Dispute, the relief sought and an estimate of the amount involved.
12.2 Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
