Disputes & Arbitration
In the event that a Dispute arises, you agree that you will contact Lavu Support to
give us the opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Either party may request
arbitration if your Dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days after presenting the
Dispute to the other party. All Disputes that cannot be resolved informally
(excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) shall
be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this
Section. This Section applies to you and Lavu, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates,
agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as
all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Products or Services
provided under this Agreement.
The arbitration of any Dispute shall be initiated through the American Arbitration
Association and conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this Agreement. The
arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or
disputes 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
nonappearancebased 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 hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of
your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the
parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give
the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing.
The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this
agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or
representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other
damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or
declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis
damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief
pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. Any judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor Lavu nor
the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration,
except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of
the arbitration award. If any portion of this Section is determined by a court to be
inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
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 American Arbitration Association.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lavu may seek injunctive or other equitable relief
to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE
CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY
OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR
A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by
arbitration under this Section. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to
very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between
you and Lavu in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an
arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND LAVU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A
JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
In any circumstances where the this Agreement permits the parties to litigate in
court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within Bernalillo County, New Mexico, for such purpose.
Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New Mexico, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without
regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
Time to Initiate a Dispute
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND
LAVU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE
WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES.

(or our thirdparty payment processor) to immediately charge your payment
method at the beginning of your initial subscription period, and again at the

Disputes & Arbitration
In the event that a Dispute arises, you agree that you will contact Lavu Support to
give us the opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Either party may request
arbitration if your Dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days after presenting the
Dispute to the other party. All Disputes that cannot be resolved informally
(excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) shall
be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this
Section. This Section applies to you and Lavu, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates,
agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as
all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of Products or Services
provided under this Agreement.
The arbitration of any Dispute shall be initiated through the American Arbitration
Association and conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable
rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this Agreement. The
arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or
disputes 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
nonappearancebased 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 hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of
your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the
parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give
the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearing.
The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this
agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or
representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other
damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or
declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis
damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief
pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. Any judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor Lavu nor
the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration,
except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of
the arbitration award. If any portion of this Section is determined by a court to be
inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
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 American Arbitration Association.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lavu may seek injunctive or other equitable relief
to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights in any court
of competent jurisdiction.
ALL DISPUTES MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE
CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY
OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR
A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by
arbitration under this Section. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited,
more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to
very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between
you and Lavu in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an
arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND LAVU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A
JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
In any circumstances where the this Agreement permits the parties to litigate in
court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts
located within Bernalillo County, New Mexico, for such purpose.
