15. Law & Dispute Resolution

 

(a) Governing Law. These TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

 

(b) Jurisdiction and Courts. Unless prohibited by law, for any dispute you have with us, you agree that you must first provide notice of any claim within one (1) year of its accrual through email at info@dzgroup.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally or your claim shall be waived, and time barred. If we have not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, you and DZ Group agree to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of any disputes relating to your use of the Services under the rules of the American Arbitration Association Rules for Arbitration of Consumer-Related Disputes. Any such arbitration, to the extent necessary, will be conducted in New York County in the State of New York. You covenant not to sue DZ Group in any other forum. Discovery and rights to appeal in arbitration are generally more limited than in a lawsuit, and other rights that you and we would have in court may not be available in arbitration.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of New York or any other relevant jurisdiction.

 

This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either DZ Group or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by JAMS. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these TOS.

 

(c) Class Action Waiver & No Consolidation of Arbitral Claims. You and DZ Group agree that the arbitrator may award the same damages and relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding or order DZ Group to pay any monies to or take any action with respect to persons other than you, unless DZ Group provides advance written consent, after an arbitrator is selected, to permit the arbitrator to enter such an order.

 

You acknowledge and agree that, unless permitted by the relevant law, no right or authority is permitted for any dispute to be litigated or arbitrated on a joint, collective, class, or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity for the general public, unless agreed by both parties in writing. The arbitrator shall not consolidate claims by different people and preside over the foregoing type of matters.

 

This waiver is an essential aspect of this arbitration provision. If the provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief, neither you nor DZ Group shall have the right to arbitrate such claim or request for relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the conclusion of the final appeal, any of the foregoing type claims are deemed unenforceable regarding a specific claim or request for relief, then it is agreed that such a claim or request for relief shall be deemed jurisdiction and decided by a court after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated.

 

16. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Notice. We may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to these TOS, by email, regular mail or postings on the Site. If  Notice is by email or mail, it will be provided to the email or regular mailing address provided by you with your account information and it is your responsibility to update such account information for any changes. Notice to you will be deemed given twenty-four hours after an email is sent, unless we are notified that the email address is invalid, and if through postal mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing. You may provide us with notices only by email at info@dzgroup.com or post to the address below.

 

(b) Waiver. Unless otherwise stated in these TOS, a provision of these TOS can only be waived by the party who would otherwise have the benefit of the provision, and the waiver must be in writing. The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

 

(c) Severability. If any provision of these TOS shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these TOS and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

 

(d) Assignment. The TOS and any rights and licenses granted in these TOS may not be transferred or assigned by you but may be assigned by us. This will not affect your rights or obligations under these TOS.

 

(e) Headings. The heading references in these TOS are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these TOS, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions in the TOS.

 

(f) Entire Agreement. These TOS, as well as our Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy, makes up the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter of these TOS. It takes precedence over all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to said subject matter, excluding any other agreements that you may have entered into with us. These TOS shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to these TOS made by us as explained in Section 3 above or as authorized by this TOS. All rights not expressly granted in these TOS are reserved to us.
