Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 5, 5.1 and 5.2 above concerning DMCA claims, in the event of any other claim, dispute or other issues between you and DELIC regarding these Terms of Use, the Website, the Service, the Privacy Policy and/or any other products or services purchased from the Website or in conjunction with any Service (“Dispute”), you and DELIC agree to first send the other party a notice of dispute (“Notice of Dispute”).  The Notice of Dispute is a written statement setting forth pertinent information regarding the Dispute which, at a minimum, must contain the name, address and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by e-mail to [email protected]. Please save your email and any “delivery” or “read” receipts.

We will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and DELIC will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that the Notice of Dispute is sent. We may be unable to resolve a Dispute by negotiation. In that case, you agree that the Dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration (not by a court). Any Dispute is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply. Please note that there is no judge or jury in arbitration. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator’s decision will be binding. It may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at 77 W. Washington St, Suite 800, Chicago IL, 60602 with “Notice Requesting Arbitration” in the subject line. You may also contact us by mail at: [email protected].

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.  

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Any and all claims relating to any Dispute—brought by you or otherwise—must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity pursuant to these Terms of Use. You cannot bring suit as a plaintiff or class member in any suit purporting to be a class action, private attorney general action, collective action, or any other representative proceeding. This waiver of rights applies to class arbitration.

In this regard, you agree to arbitrate with DELIC only in your individual capacity and not as a representative or member of a class or in any consolidated or representative proceeding. Your claims may not be joined with any other claims. There shall be no authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable, as to all or some parts of a Dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. For certain claims, like violations of these Terms of Use or breaches of intellectual property covenants, we reserve the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. All arbitrations shall be initiated in Los Angeles County, California. All Disputes are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of California without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable by any tribunal (including by an arbitration panel subject to the provisions in paragraph 19)  exercising proper jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remaining provisions and shall not affect their validity and enforceability.

22. Nontransferable / no third party beneficiary rights/ reservation of transferability rights by DELIC.

You agree you will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy to anyone else without our consent.
