Arbitration/Waiver of Class Action
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION ("ARBITRATION AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE MOST DISPUTES WITH COMPANY AND MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD OR DISTRIBUTED BY OR THROUGH THE SITE, THESE TERMS, OR CONTENT (A "DISPUTE" AS DEFINED BELOW) SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING, BILATERAL ARBITRATION, subject to the exceptions below.
You and Company agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement and govern all questions as to whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
Disputes
"Disputes" shall include, but are not limited to, any claims or controversies between you and Company against each other related in any way to or arising out of in any way from the Site, including but not limited to sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, or any communications between you and Company, even if the claim arises after you or Company has terminated use of the Site or a user account or these Terms. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) that Company brings against you; (c) claims in any way related to or arising out of any aspect of the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (d) claims that arose before these Terms or out of a prior set of Terms with Company; (e) claims that are subject to ongoing litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (f) claims that arise after the termination of these Terms. Disputes does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property, which shall not be subject to arbitration or the notice and good faith negotiation requirement described below.
Binding Arbitration Process and Procedure
Except as provided herein, if we cannot resolve a Dispute informally, any Dispute will be resolved only by binding arbitration to be held in the county in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in Collin County, Texas. Company and you further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Collin County, Texas to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Company ℅ CT Corporation System, 1999 Bryan Street,, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201. You may send a courtesy copy to Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 53 South Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803 (but this copy is only in addition to rather than instead of the letter to CT Corporation System). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS' most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS's rules are also available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules (or the rules of the alternative arbitral forum selected by the parties) and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state's law.
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Company will pay the additional cost. Company shall also bear the cost of any arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds your claims, defenses, or other fee-generating activity to be frivolous or asserted or conducted for an improper purpose. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expert witness costs unless Company is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law.
If Company’s or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the JAMS Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.
You or Company may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where: (a) jurisdiction and venue over you and Company otherwise qualifies for such small claims court; (b) such claim advances only on an individual (e.g. non-class, non-representative) basis; and (c) where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to provide Company with advance notice by email to [email protected] and by mail to Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 53 South Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803.
These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Company on your behalf.
Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Company. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
Waiver of Jury Trial
YOU AND COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Company are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
30-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out. Your notice must be sent via email to [email protected] and to: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., RE: Opt-out Notice, 53 South Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address, if any, associated with your account (if you have one), your signature, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, or may enter into in the future with us.
Parents, Subsidiaries, Affiliates
This Arbitration Agreement will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Company, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of Company, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Site, any person's access to and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, products, services, communications, and/or technology on or through the Site.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the sections entitled "Arbitration" and "Class Waiver" and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver sections in existence after you began using the Services.
