LEGAL DISPUTES

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND OWL POST BOOKS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

If a dispute arises between you and Owl Post Books, we are likely to be able to resolve your matter quickly and to your satisfaction.  Please contact our customer support team by sending us an email to info@owlpostbooks.com. Please indicate the nature of your complaint and we will do our best to get back to you with a reasonable solution as quickly and efficiently as possible.  We may ask you to provide us with more information. We trust we will be able to address your complaint without delay and to your satisfaction.

If you are a resident of the U.S. or Canada, and you have availed yourself of our customer service department without satisfaction, you and Owl Post Books all agree to resolve any remaining dispute arising out of or related to this Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy or our service through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions in the exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate sub-section.

An arbitration proceeding is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so you and Owl Post Books each agree to give up the right to a trial before a judge and jury. Arbitrations are not identical to litigation and have different rules than standard court proceedings.  For instance, arbitrations may involve lawyers, but they are less formal than lawsuits in courts. An arbitrator can award the same relief to an individual that a court can award. If either Owl Post Books or you do not like the arbitrator’s decision, the courts only have a limited ability to change the outcome of arbitration or make the arbitrator reconsider his or her decision.

If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.

Legal Disputes: Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief.

YOU AND OWL POST BOOKS AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND OWL POST BOOKS AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.

If a dispute arises between you and Owl Post Books, we are likely to be able to resolve your matter quickly and to your satisfaction.  Please contact us at info@owlpostbooks.com. Please indicate the nature of your complaint and we will do our best to get back to you with a reasonable solution as quickly and efficiently as possible.  We may ask you to provide us with more information. We trust we will be able to address your complaint without delay and to your satisfaction.

If you are a resident of the U.S. or Canada, and you have availed yourself of our customer service department without satisfaction, you and Owl Post Books all agree to resolve any remaining dispute arising out of or related to this Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy or our service through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions in the exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate sub-section.

An arbitration proceeding is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so you and Owl Post Books each agree to give up the right to a trial before a judge and jury. Arbitrations are not identical to litigation and have different rules than standard court proceedings.  For instance, arbitrations may involve lawyers, but they are less formal than lawsuits in courts. An arbitrator can award the same relief to an individual that a court can award. If either Owl Post Books or you do not like the arbitrator’s decision, the courts only have a limited ability to change the outcome of arbitration or make the arbitrator reconsider his or her decision.

If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.

We all agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to:

Your or Owl Post Books intellectual property (for example, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents); or

Any claim made in small claims court in Round Rock, Texas, if it qualifies to be brought in that court.

No Class Actions.

We all agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis.

That means:

Neither you nor Owl Post Books can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action.

The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s claim into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative arbitration proceeding (unless we both agree to change this).

The arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other users of our Service, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.

The Arbitration Process.

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will manage the arbitration between you and Owl Post Books, and AAA’s rules and procedures (including their Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable) will be used. If something in these Terms is different than AAA’s rules and procedures, then we will follow these Terms instead. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website www.adr.org or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879.

The arbitration location will be in Round Rock, Texs.  We can only choose another location if we mutually agree.

If your claim is for less than $10,000 (US), you do not need to attend the arbitration in person.  You can have a hearing by phone. If your claim is for more than $10,000, we will look to and follow the AAA for guidance.

While most arbitrators render a verbal decision, both you and Owl Post Books have the right to request the arbitrator to put his or her decision or award, or his or her reasons for the decision or award, in writing. Once a decision is rendered, Owl Post Books and/or you can ask a court to confirm it.  In some very limited circumstances, we may be allowed to ask a court to change the decision or award. This is information you will be provided should the arbitration process prove unsatisfactory.

Arbitration Costs.

If your claim is for $1,000 (US) or less, you must tell the AAA at the time you begin the arbitration proceeding. Owl Post Books will be notified of your request.

If your claim is for more than US $1,000, and arbitration is too expensive for you to afford when compared to filing a lawsuit in court, Owl Post Books will not be responsible for fees incurred filing, administration and arbitrator fees.

 

We won’t try to make you cover our fees unless the arbitrator decides that your claims are frivolous and it is fair to make you do this under the circumstances.

 

Applicable Law.

The Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions) is the law that will be applied to determine whether these dispute resolution provisions regarding arbitration and class action can be enforced and how they should be interpreted.

Apart from that, if you are U.S. resident, these terms and our relationship will be governed by Texas law, except for its conflicts of laws principles. If you reside outside of the U.S., these Terms of Service and our relationship will be governed by English law, except for its conflicts of laws principles.

Any dispute or claim arising from or relating to the Agreement or the Owl Post Books is subject to the binding arbitration, governing law, disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability and all other terms in these Terms of Use.

Choice of Law: This Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America, without regard to choice of law provisions. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) shall not apply to this Agreement.

No Waiver: No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term, and Owl Post Books failure to assert any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Entire Agreement: These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie and Tracking Policy, Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy, Community Guidelines, and all other operating rules, policies, procedures, and additional terms that Owl Post Books may publish from time to time on the Site, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Owl Post Books concerning your use of the Site and Owl Post Books Services. Owl Post Books reserves all rights not granted under this Agreement.

Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, then such provision will be modified to reflect the parties' intention. All remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

No Agency: You and Owl Post Books are independent contractors. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

Notice: Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notice required or permitted by this Agreement must be in writing. Any notice to Owl Post Books must be given by postal mail to Owl Post Books. Any notice to you may be given: (1) to the email address you provide to Owl Post Books during registration or when your email address changes, in which case notice will be deemed sufficient 24 hours after the email is sent unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid; or (2) by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the last mailing address you provided to Owl Post Books, in which case notice will be deemed sufficient three days after the mailing date.
