Disputes and Jurisdiction

Resolving Disputes. Since we always prefer to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, we want to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings. Before filing a claim against Good Bitters, you agree to try to resolve any dispute or claim relating to these Terms, your relationship with Good Bitters or your access to or use of the Products and Services (“Dispute”) informally by contacting us at support@GoodBitters.com. We will also try to resolve Disputes informally by contacting you by email. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days of submission, you or Good Bitters may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and Good Bitters agree to resolve any and all Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under the “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate” paragraph below. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.

Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Good Bitters will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

No Class Actions. You agree that you will only resolve Disputes with us on an individual basis, and will not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You further agree not to participate in class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations.

No Jury Trial. If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or Good Bitters may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Maricopa County, Arizona or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Products or Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

Jurisdiction. You agree that these Terms, as well as any and all claims arising from these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, United States of America, without regard to any conflict or choice of law principles. The sole jurisdiction and venue for any litigation arising out of these Terms will be an appropriate federal or state court located in Maricopa County, Arizona. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods.
