DISPUTE RESOLUTION (MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; JURY TRIA2 WAIVER)
Please Read This Section Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
Mandatory Individual Arbitration
Application. The Arbitration Agreement in the Dispute Resolution section only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against GoTo Foods in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this “Dispute Resolution (Mandatory Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver)” section (“Dispute Resolution Section”) applies to you.
Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. GoTo Foods is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms of Use provide for a two-part process for resolving any Disputes (defined below) that might arise between you and us: (i) an informal negotiation directly with GoTo Foods (described in the “Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification” section below); and, if necessary (ii) a binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (subject to the exceptions to arbitration referenced below) or a small claims court proceeding. As set forth below, you and GoTo Foods each retain the right to seek relief and to elect to have a Dispute heard in small claims court as an alternative to arbitration.
Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification Process. 60 days prior to initiating an arbitration or small claims court proceeding, you and GoTo Foods each agree that the party interested in pursuing a Dispute shall notify the other party of the Dispute in a written notice and attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. If you have the Dispute with us, you must send your notice to GoTo Foods by emailing it to ContactUs@gotofoods.com. If we have the Dispute with you, GoTo Foods must send its notice to the email address we have on file for you. A notice must include all of the following information: (i) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue; (ii) the initiating party’s contact information (including name, address, telephone number, and email address) (and the contact information for the initiating party’s counsel, if represented); and (iii) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought, including a detailed calculation for it. The notice must be personally signed by the initiating party (and their counsel, if represented). For a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you and we agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone settlement conference to aid in the resolution of the Dispute. If such a conference is requested, you and an GoTo Foods representative will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). The conference will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period. Completion of this Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification Process (“Process”) is a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration or small claims court. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any arbitration shall be stayed. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in arbitration. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of this Process. You or we may commence arbitration or a small claims court proceeding if the Dispute is not resolved through this Process.
Agreement to Arbitrate. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to the Terms (including the Terms of Use), your use of the GoTo Foods Online Services, products offered, sold, or distributed by us, your relationship with GoTo Foods or with any past, present, or future subsidiary, parent, affiliate, brand, agent, representative, employee, officer, or director, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, (“Dispute”) will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except (i) either you or GoTo Foods may initiate in or take a Dispute to small claims court provided it isn’t removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction; and (ii) as otherwise expressly provided herein. Whether a Dispute falls within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court is for the small claims court to decide in the first instance and otherwise for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Dispute shall include, but not be limited to: (i) any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of these or any prior Terms of Use (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (ii) any dispute or claim that is currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (iii) any dispute or claim that may arise after termination of these Terms of Use and our relationship with you. Dispute, however, does not include (i) disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property; and (ii) any claim or cause of action seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack). The arbitrator shall decide all issues except the following (which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide): (i) issues that are reserved for a court in these Terms of Use; (ii) issues that relate to the scope, validity, and enforceability of the arbitration agreement, class action waiver, or any of the provisions of this Dispute Resolution Section; and (iii) issues that relate to the arbitrability of any Dispute. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the non-exclusive, limited authority to decide if a Dispute is time-barred under contractual or statutory limitations periods or if a demand for arbitration has been authorized by the claimant. These Terms of Use and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing a Dispute to the attention of any government agency. You and GoTo Foods agree that these Terms of Use evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and U.S. federal arbitration law and not state arbitration law. Except as otherwise provided herein (i.e., as to the waiver of class relief and the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration), in the event that any portion of this arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable as to your Dispute, such provision will be severed and the remainder of the arbitration agreement will be given full force and effect.
Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration shall be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) and heard by a single, neutral arbitrator. Except as modified by these Terms of Use, NAM shall administer the arbitration in accordance with their rules applicable to the nature of the Dispute, including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable (“NAM Rules”). The NAM Rules and fee information are available at www.namadr.com or by contacting NAM. If NAM is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms of Use, the parties shall agree on an alternate administrator that will do so. If the parties cannot agree, they shall petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an alternate administrator that will do so. You and GoTo Foods agree that it is a material breach of these Terms of Use to seek to initiate the arbitration with any administrator other than NAM (or an alternative administrator agreed to by the parties or appointed by the court if NAM is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with these Terms of Use as referenced above). The party seeking to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with the demand for arbitration as specified in the NAM Rules and this arbitration agreement. You may obtain a form to initiate arbitration at www.namadr.com or by contacting NAM. If you are initiating arbitration, you shall serve the demand for arbitration on GoTo Foods via mail to GoTo Foods LLC ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL, 5620 Glenridge Drive NE Atlanta, GA 30342. If GoTo Foods is initiating arbitration, we shall serve the demand for arbitration on you at the most recent contact information we have on file for you. The demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (i) the Process referenced above; and (ii) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all represented parties and counsel as a court would. The arbitrator has the authority to follow and enforce these Terms of Use as a court would. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by a phone, video, or in-person hearing, or solely through written submissions, except the respondent in any arbitration where the claimant is seeking $10,000 or more or injunctive relief shall have the right to elect an in-person, video, or phone hearing. You and we reserve the right to request a hearing in any matter from the arbitrator. You and a GoTo Foods representative will personally appear at any hearing (with counsel, if represented). Any in-person hearing will be held in the county or parish in which you reside or at another mutually reasonably convenient location. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. If this prohibition on class arbitration (bolded above), which is an essential part of this arbitration agreement, is found to be unenforceable as to your Dispute, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void, and neither GoTo Foods nor you shall be entitled to arbitrate the Dispute and it shall instead proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms of Use. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. The arbitrator shall apply the cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 after entry of an award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction, except an award that has been satisfied may not be entered in any court. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party.
Arbitration Costs. Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the NAM Rules and fee schedule. You and we agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains economical and cost-effective for all parties.
Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. You and GoTo Foods agree that these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration shall also apply if you (or your counsel, if represented) choose to bring your claim as part of a Mass Filing (defined below). If 25 or more similar Disputes (including yours) are asserted against GoTo Foods by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (“Mass Filing”), you understand and agree that these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration will also apply and that they are designed to (i) efficiently lead to the streamlined resolution of claims; (ii) ensure that large volume filings do not impose unnecessary burdens or impediments to the resolution and cost-effective adjudication of similar claims; and (iii) preserve the integrity of the arbitration process. You also understand and agree that by choosing to bring your Dispute as part of a Mass Filing that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court and not in arbitration. The parties agree that as part of these procedures, their counsel shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the parties’ and NAM’s resources. If you choose to bring your Dispute as part of a Mass Filing, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled for your Dispute from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to NAM until your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to these procedures. If at least 200 Disputes are submitted as part of the Mass Filing, counsel for the claimants and counsel for GoTo Foods shall each select 100 Disputes to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of this process (either or both parties may choose to have their selections made randomly). The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed may be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 200 Disputes, all shall proceed individually). Each of the 200 (or fewer) cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator and proceed individually. If a case is withdrawn before the issuance of an arbitration award, another claim shall be selected to proceed as part of this process. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After these 200 (or fewer) individual arbitrations are adjudicated through award, counsel for the parties shall participate in a global mediation session with a retired federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes and GoTo Foods shall pay the mediator’s fee. Upon the completion of this mediation (and assuming counsel for the parties do not jointly agree to continue engagement through further mediation or otherwise), each remaining Dispute (if any) that is part of the Mass Filing and this global mediation session that is not settled or withdrawn shall be opted out of arbitration and may proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms of Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may mutually agree to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining Disputes in individual arbitrations consistent with the process set forth in this paragraph (except Disputes shall be randomly selected and mediation shall be elective by agreement of counsel) or through another mutually-agreeable process. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations. The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this arbitration agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration apply to your Dispute and are unenforceable, then you understand and agree that your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Terms of Use.
Opt Out of Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may choose to opt-out of the arbitration agreement the first time you become a party to the Terms of Use or any agreement with GoTo Foods or any subsidiary, parent, affiliate, or brand that contains an arbitration agreement. Such an opt-out must be received by us within 30 days after the date you first are presented with an arbitration agreement (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). In order to opt-out, you must send us a personally signed, written notice to GoTo Foods LLC ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL, 5620 Glenridge Drive NE Atlanta, GA 30342 that includes (i) your full name; (ii) your address (including street address, city, state, and zip/postal code); (iii) the email address(es) associated with your GoTo Foods account, if any, or another email address associated with you; and (iv) a statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with GoTo Foods through arbitration. This procedure is the only way you can opt-out of the arbitration agreement. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid. If you opt-out of the arbitration agreement, all other provisions of the Terms of Use will continue to apply to you, including the remaining provisions of the Dispute Resolution section (i.e., Class Action Waiver and Jury Trial Waiver) and the below venue clause specifying Atlanta, Georgia and the governing law provision referencing Georgia law.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. If we make any future changes to this arbitration agreement (other than a change to our contact information), you may reject any such change to this arbitration agreement by sending a personally signed, written notice to GoTo Foods LLC ATTN: GENERAL COUNSEL, 5620 Glenridge Drive NE Atlanta, GA 30342 that includes (i) your full name; (ii) your address (including street address, city, state, and zip/postal code); (iii) the email address(es) associated with your GoTo Foods account, if any, or another email address associated with you; and (iv) a statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with GoTo Foods through the updated arbitration agreement. Such written notice does not constitute an opt out of arbitration altogether. By rejecting any future change to the arbitration agreement, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and GoTo Foods in accordance with this version of the arbitration agreement.
Class Action Waiver
You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action. You and we agree to waive any right to bring or to participate in such an action in arbitration or in court to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties retain the right to participate in a class-wide settlement.
Jury Trial Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and GoTo Foods waive the right to a jury trial.
Governing Law And Venue
These Terms of Use (including the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Terms) and use of the GoTo Foods Online Services are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law (as referenced above) and the laws of the state of Georgia without regard to conflict of laws rules.
If the arbitration agreement is ever deemed unenforceable or void as to your Dispute, or a Dispute between the parties is not subject to arbitration or small claims court, you irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal, state, and local courts that encompass Atlanta, Georgia for purposes of any legal action arising out of or related to the a Dispute or these Terms, and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction or as to the laying of venue in such courts due to: (i) inconvenient forum; or (ii) any other basis or any right to seek to transfer or change venue of any such action to another court.
Miscellaneous
Interpreting these Terms of Use. Except as they may be supplemented by additional terms, conditions, policies, guidelines, standards, and in-product disclosures, these Terms of Use (including those items incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement between GoTo Foods and you pertaining to your access to or use of the GoTo Foods Online Services and, except as expressly set forth herein, supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between GoTo Foods and you. These Terms of Use do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than you and GoTo Foods. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, except as otherwise provided herein, such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Where the word “will” is used in these Terms of Use it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”
No Waiver. GoTo Foods’ failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise permitted under law.
Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision thereof.
Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that any breach of this agreement would cause GoTo Foods irreparable injury, such that GoTo Foods would have no adequate remedy at law. You agree that in the event of such breach, GoTo Foods shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or equity, without the requirement of posting a bond.
Survival. The Dispute Resolution, Governing Law and Venue, Restriction of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution and Miscellaneous Sections will survive any termination of these Terms of Use and will continue to apply even if you stop using the GoTo Foods Online Services or terminate your GoTo Foods account, if any.
