GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law rules (“Governing Law”). You expressly agree to the procedures and terms of Dispute Resolution set forth below. If the Dispute Resolution procedure is ruled not applicable to a specific dispute or claim, you expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any such dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or to the Site shall be the state or federal courts located in New York, New York, USA and you further agree and submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim or action. Any user must bring a claim related to these Terms or the Site, including any arbitration under Dispute Resolution below, within one year of the date on which the event giving rise to the claim arose, otherwise such claim is waived.
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON, ENTITY OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON, ENTITY OR USER.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
Arbitration. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) relating in any way to the Site, or any Lyfebulb terms, conditions or policies relating to the Site (“Dispute”) that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of these arbitration provisions (“Arbitration Agreement”). Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings will be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Lyfebulb, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns. All in-person arbitration proceedings shall take place in Manhattan, New York, United States of America unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the Dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Lyfebulb should be sent to: Pat@lyfebulb.com. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Arbitration Agreement. The JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any Dispute where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Lyfebulb, and the Dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under the Governing Law, the JAMS Rules, and the Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. 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 Lyfebulb.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of these Terms and Conditions.
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS
These Terms and Conditions and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Site for your use or access to the Site constitute the entire agreement between you and Lyfebulb relating to the Site.

These Terms and Conditions operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Terms of Use. You agree that these Terms and Conditions will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.
