14. Arbitration and Dispute Terms
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH ESALON AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 14 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.
-
A. Mandatory Individual Arbitration. You and We each agree that any and all claims, controversies, or disputes of any nature, including tort and statutory claims, arising out of or relating to these Terms, any Additional Terms, our North America Privacy Policy or California Privacy Notice, the Service, the Content, your UGC, or any purchase of any product or any other transaction, including any questions of arbitrability (collectively, a “Dispute”), shall be settled by individual binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its applicable arbitration rules, as specified below, by a sole arbitrator or in small claims court, except that individual residents of Quebec are not required to submit their disputes to arbitration. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CAN AWARD, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT. You and We each also agree that this Arbitration Agreement affects interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, not state law, apply and govern any questions regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, including all questions of arbitrability (despite the general choice of law provision set forth below).
-
B. Pre-Arbitration Notification. eSalon and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that eSalon need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned (“IP Disputes”). The party making a claim – whether you or eSalon – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If eSalon is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in your eSalon account, if applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then We have no notification or delay obligations under this Section 14(b). If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to eSalon.com LLC, 1910 E. Maple Ave, El Segundo, CA 90245 (Attn: General Counsel). The Notice of Dispute must contain enough information for us to attempt to resolve your claim, including (a) your name; (b) the email address and telephone number associated with your eSalon account, if applicable; (c) a written description of the problem, relevant documents, and supporting information; and (d) a good faith calculation of the damages you claim to have suffered and a statement of the specific relief you are seeking. You may be represented by an attorney or other person in that process. However, if you choose to be represented by an attorney or other person, you must also submit with your Notice of Dispute a signed, written authorization allowing us to discuss your Dispute with your attorney or other representative. You and we each agree to negotiate any Dispute between us in good faith for a sixty-day period. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Section 14, or permitted by the applicable law. Either you or eSalon, however, may seek provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief, subject to Section 14(d)) before the expiration of this sixty (60)-day period.
-
C. Arbitration of Claims. If We are unable to resolve your Dispute within 60 days despite those good faith efforts, then either you or We may start arbitration or small claims court proceedings. Any Dispute or arbitration demand relating thereto shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Delaware before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then the arbitrator shall be selected using the following procedure: (a) JAMS will send the parties a list of five candidates; (b) if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from that list, each party shall return its list to the JAMS within 14 days, striking up to two candidates, and ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference; (c) JAMS shall appoint as arbitrator the candidate with the highest aggregate ranking; and (d) if for any reason the appointment cannot be made according to this procedure, JAMS may exercise its discretion in appointing the arbitrator.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If you initiate an arbitration, you are required to pay JAMS an initial filing fee, but we will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county (or parish) of residence. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous, or that your claim was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then we will not reimburse your initial filing fee. This Arbitration Agreement authorizes the arbitrator to award fees or other sanctions against your counsel. Any facts, evidence, documents, or testimony introduced or produced in an arbitration proceeding may be used only in that proceeding and may not be disclosed, introduced, or used in another arbitration proceeding even if it involves the same or similar claims. We each also agree that the arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in any prior arbitrations not involving the same parties, even if they involved the same or similar claims.
The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates’ lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator’s award is based.
If the Dispute could have been brought in small claims court, then either you or we may elect to have the Dispute heard in small claims court, rather than in arbitration, at any time before the arbitrator is appointed, by notifying the other party of that election in writing. Any dispute about whether a Dispute qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding will remain closed unless and until the small claims court issues a decision that the Dispute should proceed in arbitration. The substantive law that applies to such a dispute shall be Delaware law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
The arbitrator will have the power to rule on their own jurisdiction, including any issues concerning the existence, validity, or scope of either this Arbitration Agreement, including whether any claim is subject to arbitration, provided that: (1) any dispute about whether a claim qualifies for small claims court will be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator; and (2) a court will have the authority to determine whether the parties have complied with the informal dispute resolution procedures set out above and whether any claim you or we have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver included in these Terms.
Other than expressly set forth in the foregoing, neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any Dispute until such Dispute shall have been finally adjudicated via arbitration as herein provided, and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator’s award; provided, however, eSalon may seek interim, injunctive, or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction, without thereby waiving its right to arbitrate or compel arbitration of the Dispute under this Section.
-
D. Permissible Remedies; Limitation on Injunctive Relief. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief. If you seek injunctive or declaratory relief, you agree that the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief in favor of you alone, and only to the extent necessary to resolve your individual claim. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY ASPECT THEREOF, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY ESALON PARTY (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED UGC) OR A LICENSOR OF ANY ESALON PARTY.
-
E. Governing Law. For users for are not individual residents of the province of Quebec, all Disputes a and any other claim brought by you against eSalon or by eSalon against you pursuant to this Section 14, or otherwise related to the Service, Content, eSalon Licensed Elements, UGC or other eSalon products or services, will be governed by, construed, and resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., without regard to its conflicts of law provisions that might apply the laws of another jurisdiction. This Section 14 shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and eSalon agree that We intend that this Section 14 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 14 can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this Section 14 in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.
-
F. Class Action and Consolidated Actions Waiver (“Class Action Waiver”). As permitted by applicable law, and for users who are not individual residents of the province of Quebec, both you and We agree that a party may only bring claims in its individual capacity and on its own behalf. You and eSalon waive the right to bring any Dispute as a class, consolidated, mass, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, mass, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any Dispute brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, mass, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding.
-
G. Jury Trial Waiver. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF A DISPUTE PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, YOU AND WE EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATINGTHERETO, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR FRAUD.
-
H. Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Dispute (but not IP Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Section 14(b).
-
I. Supersede. The provisions of this Section 14 shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of any prior agreement between the parties. This Section 14 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Service or these Terms.
-
J. Severability Applicable to Arbitration Agreement. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that any part of this Arbitration Agreement cannot be enforced with respect to any claim, remedy, or request for relief, the rest of this Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply; provided, however, that if the Class Action Waiver is declared to be unenforceable or invalid, this entire Arbitration Agreement (other than this sentence) will not apply to that claim, remedy, or request for relief (but will still apply to any and all other claims, remedies, and requests for relief that you or we may assert in that or any other action). In any such case, you and we agree that we will arbitrate all claims, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, and that any remaining unresolved claims, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any such proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court.
-
K. Forum Selection/Jurisdiction. For users who are individual residents of the province of Quebec, the exclusive forum for any Disputes will be the courts of the City of Montreal in the province of Quebec; any such claims will be governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada, without reference to its conflict of law principles. For all other persons, the exclusive forum for any Disputes not required to be litigated in small claims court will be the state and federal courts in Wilmington, Delaware, and You and We hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

21. Subscription Services for Client Purchases
Flex-Plan and Promotional Discount
One of the easiest ways to purchase eSalon products is to opt-in to eSalon's Flex-Plan. The Flex-Plan automatically sends your next order, which includes all items that you have chosen to include in your Flex-Plan, on the delivery frequency of your choice. Only one Flex-Plan cycle per customer can be selected at a time. By opting into the Flex-Plan, a customer will receive a discount on the purchase price of all AutoShip-designated items included in the AutoShip order; items added to the order that are not part of the Flex-Plan will not receive a Flex-Plan discount.
Each time eSalon ships a product to you, eSalon will charge the credit card saved in your account for the cost of the product(s) plus any applicable taxes and shipping charges (in fact, this is done by our payment processor, not by eSalon itself which does not use or store your credit card information). If you are located in the EU region, your payment is managed by our UK company, eSalon.com Ltd, as our payment processor. As an eSalon customer, you have the flexibility to make adjustments to your hair color and AutoShip order online, including any or all of the following: adjusting your hair color formula, consulting with a licensed hair colorist for color selections, adding or removing items in your AutoShip selection, changing the quantity of any items selected, rescheduling your order for a future date and/or skipping an upcoming order. You just need to let us know at least 24 hours before we prepare your upcoming hair color product for delivery. Customers are sent a notification for each upcoming order five days prior to order shipment. Once your account has been set up and your first order shipped, you may turn off AutoShip or make adjustments to your Plan at any time by logging-in to your account and choosing the delivery settings option, or by calling a toll-free eSalon telephone number set forth above. Your cancellation will not affect your obligation with respect to any product that already has been prepared for upcoming delivery to you. You also may restart the Flex-Plan at any time at colorsmith.co/my_account.
From time to time eSalon may offer promotions to people who want to become eSalon clients. These promotions may be specific to new or prospective clients and not available to existing or previous clients, and may be limited to one per household, one per unique user account, one per credit card, one per address, or one per email address. eSalon reserves the right to determine if a promotion meant for a new client is applicable to you.
