ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OUR SITE, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH OUR SITE OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES, WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED BELOW.

Claims for public injunctive relief (as defined by law) are not subject to this mandatory binding arbitration provision. Similarly, in lieu of arbitration, you may assert claims in small claims court having jurisdiction if your claims qualify. There is no judge or jury in an arbitration proceeding. It is your obligation to review the arbitration process and your continued use of this Site constitutes your understanding and acceptance of such terms.

Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under the AAA’s    CommercialArbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available to the public online. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Wine Galaxy will reimburse those fees for claims demanding less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Wine Galaxy will not seek attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Unless we agree otherwise, the arbitration hearing will take place in Massachusetts, where Wine Galaxy’s principal office is located.

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

The Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal arbitration laws and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms & Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Wine Galaxy.
