17. Changes
Subject to Section 18.7, this Terms of Service Agreement is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any material changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address associated with your Account (if applicable), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes via the Services.

18. Dispute Resolution
Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Abound, its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Abound Parties”) and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from the Abound Parties.
Note that this Section 18 only applies where this Terms of Service Agreement is entered into between you and Replogic, Inc. It does not apply if this Terms of Service Agreement is entered into between you and Abound Limited (i.e. because you are a retailer located in the UK, or a brand or independent sales representative making available goods for purchase by retailers located in the UK).
-
18.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.
You agree that any dispute between you and any of the Abound Parties relating in any way to the Services or this Terms of Service Agreement, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you and the Abound Parties may assert individualized claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, remain in such court and advance solely on an individual, non-class basis; and (2) you or the Abound Parties may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Terms of Service Agreement and shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Terms of Service Agreement or any prior version of this Terms of Service Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Abound Parties on your behalf. -
18.2 Arbitration Rules and Forum.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Abound, Attn: Abound Legal, 121 West 36th Street, Suite 410 NY, NY 10018. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Abound will pay them for you.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the U.S. county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
-
18.3 Authority of Arbitrator.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes subject to arbitration hereunder, including, without limitation, any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement and any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Abound Parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual party under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Terms of Service Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Abound Parties. -
18.4 Waiver of Jury Trial.
EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 18.1, YOU AND THE ABOUND PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Abound Parties are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 18.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Terms of Service Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. -
18.5 Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.
BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND EACH OF THE ABOUND PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF ONE USER OR PERSON CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER USER OR PERSON. If applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this Section 18.4’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the applicable claim must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought into the state or federal courts located in New York in accordance with Section 19. All other claims shall be arbitrated. -
18.6 Survival of Agreement.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of this Terms of Service Agreement or your relationship with Abound. -
18.7 Modification.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Abound makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Abound at the following address: Abound, Attn: Abound Legal, 121 West 36th Street, Suite 410 NY, NY 10018.

-

THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THESE TERMS.

The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights. -
23. Entire Terms
This Terms of Service Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Terms of Service Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in this Terms of Service Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” If any provision of this Terms of Service Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Terms of Service Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to Abound is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. This Terms of Service Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Abound’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Abound may freely assign this Terms of Service Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in this Terms of Service Agreement will be binding upon assignees. -
