Binding Arbitration. You and Bean Bakery, LLC agree that all disputes, controversies and claims related to these Terms or your use of the Site (including the Privacy Policy) (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by confidential binding arbitration as described in this Section, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator , rather than by a court. The arbitration will be governed by Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

The arbitration may be conducted in Madison, Wisconsin or, upon the plaintiff's request, in the city closest to plaintiff's location where the arbitrator maintains an office, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties subject to these Terms and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of your or Bean Bakery, LLC's intellectual property rights in any manner; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then both parties agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a Wisconsin state or federal court, consistent with the “Choice of Law” clause in section 16 below, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
Choice of Law. Any claim relating in any way to these Terms and your use of this Site is governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin in the United States of America, without regard to its choice of law provisions. For any claims not subject to the terms of the Binding Arbitration clause in section 15 above, the parties agree that jurisdiction and venue in any legal proceeding relating in any way to these Terms or this Site shall be in the state or federal courts located in Wisconsin.
Class Waiver. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all Claims shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other Claims shall be consolidated or joined with your Claims, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

YOU AND Bean Bakery, LLC AGREE THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIM TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
General Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Bean Bakery, LLC and governs your use of any Bean Bakery, LLC Site. The failure of Bean Bakery, LLC to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a wavier of any such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid then such provision shall be eliminated from the Terms and the surviving terms shall remain in full force and effect. Any claims arising under these Terms must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or action or action arose or be forever barred.
