Dispute Resolution: Binding Individual Arbitration & Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver (“Arbitration Agreement”)
References to “Fritz”, “you”, “we”, and “us” in this Arbitration Agreement include our respective predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as our respective past, present, and future parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates; those entities and our respective agents, employees, licensees, licensors, and providers of content as of the time your or our claim arises.
Section 1: Mandatory Individual Arbitration: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your visit to, or use of, the Website, the Products, any purchase, the Services, or otherwise related to the Terms, including those relating to the formation, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, validity, scope, or applicability of the Terms and this Arbitration Agreement (collectively, “Dispute” or “Disputes”), whether such Disputes arose on or subsequent to you entering these Terms, and if not resolved through the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth below, shall be exclusively resolved by individual, binding arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory, in whole or in part, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below, you and Fritz each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. Any legal action by Fritz against a non-consumer or its interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities shall not be subject to arbitration. Either party may also elect to have Disputes heard in small claims court seeking only individualized relief, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction.
