12. ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
If you have an issue with the Services, we encourage you to review our frequently asked questions or contact our customer service team through [email protected]. In the event there is an issue that still requires attention, we want to make the resolution process as quick and efficient as possible. We also want to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. To that end, you and Living Music agree to first discuss any issue informally for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution to [email protected]. If we would like to discuss an issue with you, we will contact you using the email address you provided when you registered for Living Music.
If we do not reach an agreed upon solution after our discussions for at least 30 days, you and Living Music agree that any and all claims that either of us may have arising out of or relating to: (i) these Terms (including formation, performance, or breach of them, and including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision); (ii) the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these Terms; (iii) any aspect of our relationship with each other; and (iv) use of the Services, must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, MommaStrong is happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.
You and Living Music agree to arbitrate in each of our individual capacities only, not as a representative or member of a class, and each of us expressly waives any right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.
It is important that you understand that the arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator rules against Living Music, in addition to accepting whatever responsibility is ordered by the arbitrator, we think it's fair that Living Music reimburse your reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, regardless of who initiated the arbitration. In addition, if the arbitrator rules in Living Music's favor, Living Music will not seek reimbursement of our attorney's fees and costs, regardless of who initiated the arbitration. For clarity, this arbitration provision will survive cancellation of your Living Music account.
Please consult an attorney should you have any questions about any term or condition of Living Music services.
Specifying what happens if an issue arises with one of our users is never a fun topic. But we pride ourselves on transparency and we thank you in advance for understanding why it's important that you and Living Music agree on the process described in this Section.
13. LIMITATION ON TIME TO BRING A CLAIM
To help resolve any issues between us promptly, you and Living Music agree to bring any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms (including Living Music’s Privacy Policy), our relationship, or the use of the Services within one year after a claim arises; otherwise, the claim is waived. This limitation applies regardless of the venue in which such claim is or could otherwise be asserted.
From time to time, we may communicate with you about the Services and these Terms electronically (e.g., emails to your registered email address, notices on the Living Music Site and other Access Points). You consent to receive electronic communications from Living Music and further agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, and other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any applicable legal notification requirements.
