12. Disputes, Arbitration, and Applicable Law
12.1.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY
AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A
LAWSUIT IN COURT.
12.2. Arbitration Agreement.
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU
AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE
TERMS OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND
LIBBEY, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED OR SOLD BY
LIBBEY OR VIA ANY LIBBEY WEBSITE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT,
TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION
BEFORE A SINGLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A
JUDGE OR JURY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE
TERMS, YOU AND LIBBEY AGREE THAT EACH IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO
SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY.
This paragraph may be referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement”
in these Terms.
12.3. Class Action and Mass Action Waiver.
YOU AND LIBBEY AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION REQUIRED BY THE
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS.
You and Libbey each agree to waive the right to have any dispute
or claim subject to the Arbitration Agreement brought, heard,
administered, resolved, or arbitrated as a class arbitration,
class action, collective action, or Mass Action to the maximum
extent permitted by law. “Mass Action” means a situation in
which a party is represented by a law firm or other
representative, or a collection of law firms or other
representatives, that has initiated more than 100 mediation or
arbitration demands with common questions of law or fact against
Libbey within 180 days of initiating a demand. This paragraph
may be referred to as the “Class Action and Mass Action Waiver”
in these Terms. Nothing in these Terms precludes you from
bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local
government agencies and, if the applicable law allows, such
agencies may seek relief against Libbey for you.
12.4. "Consumer" means an individual who
purchases products primarily for personal, family, or household
purposes, not for business or commercial purposes.
"Dispute" means any dispute, controversy,
claim, allegation, or cause of action between the parties,
including such arising from or relating to (1) these Terms
(including this arbitration agreement) or the Privacy Statement,
(2) any question regarding the Terms' existence, validity or
termination or the breach thereof, (3) your access to or use of
a Libbey Website, or (4) your attempted or actual purchase of a
product from a Libbey Website. "AAA Rules" means (a) the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer
Due Process Protocol and Consumer Arbitration Rules and
Mediation Procedures only if you are a Consumer; or (b) AAA
Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures.
12.5. If the Dispute cannot be settled through direct
discussions, the parties shall endeavor first to settle the
dispute by mediation administered by AAA under the applicable
AAA Rules before resorting to arbitration. The parties further
agree to settle any unresolved Dispute by arbitration
administered by the AAA in accordance with applicable AAA Rules.
Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH WILL
BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE
CLAIMS OF OTHER PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY
SITUATED.
Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court
in accordance with these Terms if your claims qualify and so
long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an
individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
12.6.
ANY DISPUTE CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE
SITE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF
ACTION ACCRUES OR THE CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY
BARRED.
12.7. Regardless of any law to the contrary, any filing arising
out of or related to a Dispute must occur within 12 months after
such Dispute or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
12.8. Initiating a Demand. You or Libbey shall initiate
mediation or arbitration required by the Arbitration Agreement
by sending the other a written demand for mediation
(“Demand”) only via first-class mail, FedEx, or
UPS within the statute of limitations period. Your Demand shall
be delivered to: Libbey Glass LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 300
Madison Avenue, Toledo, Ohio 43604. The Demand must include (i)
the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address
of the person or entity seeking arbitration; (ii) a statement of
the legal claims asserted and the factual basis for those
claims; (iii) a description of the remedy sought and an
accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy;
(iv) the original personal signature of the party seeking
arbitration; and (v) the original personal signature of any
legal counsel or other representative purporting to represent
the party seeking arbitration. For purposes of this paragraph,
“original personal signature” does not include any digital,
scanned, electronic, copied, or facsimile signature. An original
personal signature on the Demand certifies the following: (i)
the Demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such
as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase
the cost of litigation; (ii) the claims and other legal
contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous
argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or
for establishing new law; and (iii) the factual contentions have
evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will
likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity
for further investigation or discovery. The original personal
signature by the party seeking arbitration shall verify under
penalty of perjury that the factual statements contained in the
Demand are true and correct. Compliance with this paragraph
tolls any applicable statute of limitations as to any dispute or
claim subject to the Arbitration Agreement that is stated in the
Demand.
12.9. Filing a Demand. A party seeking mediation or
arbitration of any Dispute subject to the Arbitration Agreement
shall submit a copy of the Demand to the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) 60 to 90 days after the
Demand is initiated pursuant to the prior paragrah. The
arbitration will be administered in Lucas County, Ohio or
virtually by the AAA pursuant to the current AAA Consumer
Arbitration Rules, except to the extent modified by these Terms.
The AAA rules and instructions are available on the AAA website
at
www.adr.org/consumer.
12.10. Disputes will be heard by a single arbitrator in English.
The place of arbitration will be online or in Toledo, Ohio or as
otherwise determined by the arbitrator. Mediation and
arbitration will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.
Time is of the essence for any arbitration under this agreement
and arbitration hearings will take place within 6 months of
filing and awards will be rendered within 12 months. The
arbitrator must agree to these limits prior to accepting
appointment. The arbitrator will have no authority to award
punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's
actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The
arbitrator will not award consequential damages in any
arbitration initiated under this section. Any award in an
arbitration initiated under this clause shall be limited to
monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to
any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount.
Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal
share of the arbitrators and administrative fees of arbitration.
Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of
any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of
both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a
party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator
compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver
by that party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In
such event, the other party shall be required to present
evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator may require for
the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a
default judgment against the non-paying party in the absence of
evidence presented as provided for above.
12.11. The parties will have the right to conduct such discovery
from the opposing party or any third party that is proportional
to the needs of the claim or dispute, considering the importance
of the issues at stake, the amount in controversy, the
importance of the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether
the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its
likely benefit. Proportionality will be decided by the
arbitrator when requested by either party, with the principle of
minimizing discovery.
12.12. If the arbitrator finds that a party’s claim,
counterclaim, or appeal was frivolous, asserted in bad faith, or
pursued for purposes of harassment, the arbitrator will award
the opposing party its attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses and
all amounts charged by AAA for the arbitration.
12.13. The arbitrator will follow these Terms and the law. The
arbitrator will not have the authority to commit errors of law
or legal reasoning. The arbitrator may award relief only in
favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the
extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual
party’s claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or
against anyone who is not a party, though the individual relief
awarded by the arbitrator may incidentally affect
non-parties.
12.14. Applicable Law. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”)
governs the interpretation and enforcement of Section 20 of
these Terms. If the FAA is found not to apply to any portion of
Section 20 of these Terms, then the applicable laws of the State
of Ohio will apply without regard to choice-of-law
principles.
13. Governing Law & Exclusive Venue. These Terms and the
Privacy Statement will be interpreted and governed by the laws
of state of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law rules.
Any Dispute (1) will be resolved in accordance with the laws of
state of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and
(2) if not subject to the arbitration provisions set forth
herein, must be brought exclusively in the Federal or state
courts located in Lucas County, Ohio and you irrevocably consent
to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
14. Termination. These Terms are effective between you and us
unless and until terminated by either you or Libbey. You may
terminate these Terms at any time by discontinuing any further
use of any Libbey Website. We also may terminate these Terms at
any time and may do so immediately without notice, and deny you
access to Libbey Websites, if in our sole discretion you fail to
comply with any term or provision of these Terms. Upon any
termination of these Terms, you must promptly destroy all
materials downloaded or otherwise obtained from any Libbey
Website, as well as all copies. Sections 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12,
and 13 will survive any termination of these Terms.
15. General. These Terms represent the complete agreement
and understanding between you and Libbey and supersede all prior
agreements and representations between the parties with respect
to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms do not, and
will not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture,
employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship
between you and Libbey. Headings used in these Terms are for
reference purposes only and in no way define or limit the scope
of the section. Except as provided in Section 20 above, if any
provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable for any
reason, such provision will be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable and the other terms of these
Terms will remain in full force and effect. The failure of
Libbey to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or
others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit Libbey's
rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches.
You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any or all of your
rights or obligations under these Terms without our express
prior written consent. We may assign, transfer, or sublicense
any or all of our rights or obligations under these Terms
without restriction. Any use of the term “including” or
variations thereof in these Terms will be construed as if
followed by the phrase “without limitation.” Notices to you
(including notices of changes to this these Terms) may be made
via posting to the Libbey Sites or by e-mail (including in each
case via links), or by regular mail. Without limitation, a
printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in
electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same
extent and subject to the same conditions as other business
documents and records originally generated and maintained in
printed form.
