EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 10 ABOVE, THE SERVICES AND ALL INCLUDED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOOGI’S CLOSET SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE;
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL YOOGI’S CLOSET BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH: (I) USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY ANY RELIANCE ON, OR ANY DELAYS, INACCURACIES, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN, ANY OF THE SERVICES; (II) ANY INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES FOR WHATEVER REASON; OR (III) ANY GOODS OR SERVICES DISCUSSED, PURCHASED OR OBTAINED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THROUGH ANY SERVICES, IN EACH CASE EVEN IF YOOGI’S CLOSET IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, YOOGI’S CLOSET’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, IF ANY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO YOUR ACTUAL PROVABLE DAMAGES NOT TO EXCEED THE LESSER OF (1) ONE THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($1,000), OR (II) THE ACTUAL PRICE OF THE ITEM YOU PURCHASED FROM YOOGI’S CLOSET. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
13. Dispute Resolution. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND YOOGI’S CLOSET RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (“DISPUTE”), WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED THROUGH NEGOTIATION AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 13.
ARBITRATION MEANS THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, YOU AND YOOGI’S CLOSET AGREE THAT (A) ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT MAY BE INSTITUTED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON INSTEAD OF BEING RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION, AND (B) EITHER PARTY MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO (I) ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR VIOLATION OF EITHER ANY USE RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS, OR A PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; OR (II) ENJOIN SCRAPING, WEB CRAWLING OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO EITHER YOOGI’S CLOSET’S SITE OR SERVICES.
If you have a Dispute with Yoogi’s Closet, you must send written notice describing the Dispute to Yoogi’s Closet to allow Yoogi’s Closet an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally through negotiation. Your notice must be sent to the following address: Yoogi’s Closet, Attn: Legal Department, [address]. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send written notice (email or letter) describing the Dispute to you. The parties agree to negotiate resolution of a Dispute in good faith for no fewer than 30 days after notice of a Dispute has been provided. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days from receipt of notice of the Dispute, you or Yoogi’s Closet may proceed to have the Dispute resolved through arbitration as each party’s exclusive Dispute resolution process (except for the limited exceptions set forth above).
Any arbitration, if required, will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Except as this Section 13 expressly provides otherwise, AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules govern the Dispute resolution process. If the amount of any claim in an arbitration is US$10,000 or less, Yoogi’s Closet will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, so long as (i) you make a written request for such payment of fees and submit it to AAA with your Demand for Arbitration, and (ii) your claim is not determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. In such case, we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to AAA. If the amount of the claim exceeds US$10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Yoogi’s Closet will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse Yoogi’s Closet for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Yoogi’s Closet on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under AAA’s rules.
The arbitration shall be held in King County, Washington. If the value of the relief sought is US$10,000 or less, either of us may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on us subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
YOU AND YOOGI’S CLOSET EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO CONDUCT DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS IN A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. YOU AND YOOGI’S CLOSET EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF REPRESENTATIVE SUITS THAT ARE PERMITTED BY, AND DEEMED UNWAIVABLE UNDER, STATE LAW. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
If any clause within this Section 13 (other than the class action waiver clause above) is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 13, and the remainder of this Section 13 will be given full effect. If the class action waiver clause is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 13 will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by the courts of the state of Washington, King County, or the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
14. Time Limitation on Claims. You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose. Any claim not filed within the foregoing one-year period will be forever barred.
15. Governing Law and Venue. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, USA, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS. YOU IRREVOCABLY CONSENT AND WAIVE ALL OBJECTIONS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, USA.
AS THE EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY LAWSUIT THAT ARISES OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, AND THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN COURT UNDER SECTION 12 SHALL BE KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON (IF THE CLAIM ARISES UNDER STATE LAW) AND THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON (IF THE CLAIM ARISES UNDER FEDERAL LAW). THE VENUE FOR ANY CLAIM THAT MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN ARBITRATION FORUM SHALL BE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.
16. General Provisions. If any part of these Terms are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. If we do not enforce a breach of these Terms, that does not mean that Yoogi’s Closet has waived our right to enforce the Terms against you or others. You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or your Account or License to use the Services) to anyone without Yoogi’s Closet’s written consent. However, you agree that Yoogi’s Closet may assign these Terms without notice or consent. There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms, other than as explicitly provided herein. These Terms supplement and are in addition to terms and conditions for buyers, sellers, and cosigners found on the website at www.yoogiscloset.com/customer-service, www.yoogiscloset.com/selling-consignment, and www.yoogiscloset.com/returns. If there is a conflict, these Terms govern and supersede any conflicting terms or conditions for buyers, sellers, and cosigners.
