I, on behalf of myself and/or my spouse and my minor child(ren)/ward(s), agree that if I/we are injured at the premises and want to make a claim and/or if there are any disputes regarding this agreement and/or if I/we have any claims or disputes against HE COLLECTIVE LLC for any reason whatsoever, whether based in tort, common law duty, contract, warranty, statutory violation, regulatory violation, and/or any other legal or equitable basis or theory, I/we hereby waive any right I/we have to a trial in a court of law before a judge and jury. I agree that such claims or disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration before one arbitrator to be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and pursuant to its rules and procedures as found at http://www.adr.org or by a retired New Jersey Superior Court Judge to be selected by the parties.
By initialing and signing below, I/we understand that Arbitration is a waiver of the right to bring suit in a court or judicial forum. Arbitration is a substitute for the right to seek relief in court. Arbitration is a private and confidential process of resolving claims or disputes at a hearing in front of a neutral third person, conducted outside of a court of law and without a judge or jury.
I/we further agree that the arbitration hearing will take place solely in the State of New Jersey and that the substantive law of New Jersey shall apply to the claim and/or dispute. The Arbitration shall be governed by the New Jersey Alternate Dispute Resolution Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:23A-1 et seq., (“NJADRA”) and the Uniform Arbitration Act, N.J.S.A. 2A: 23B-1 et seq., (“UAA”). The Arbitration proceedings, including all discovery, results, and awards shall be confidential. Unless otherwise agreed, ordered, or awarded, the Parties shall be responsible for paying their own attorneys’ fees and expenses. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement. I further agree that both HE COLLECTIVE LLC and I/we shall resolve any claims or disputes solely on an individual basis and shall not be entitled to join or consolidate claims or disputes as a class action, mass tort, representative action, collective action, private attorney-general action, or any proceeding in which HE COLLECTIVE LLC or I/we acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. This Agreement does not permit class action arbitrations.
I/we agree that such claims or disputes shall be brought within one year of the accrual of such claims or disputes, except for claims of minor children which shall be equitably tolled in accordance with New Jersey law. I understand and acknowledge that the equitable tolling of time to bring a claim or dispute on behalf of a minor child(ren) shall not be construed as modifying any other provision of this Agreement. By signing this document, whether in written or electronic format, I understand that I will be bound to the terms set forth herein. I further certify that I am authorized to enter this agreement on behalf of myself, my spouse, and any minor children/wards as set forth herein. We reserve the right to review your license and/or other forms of ID to verify identity and age. Today's Date: December 27, 2024 |
