Welcome to our marketplace (the "Marketplace"), which is accessible via the Redbubble website located at www.redbubble.com (the “website”) or the Redbubble mobile app (the “mobile app”). These terms of use (the "User Agreement") govern the relationship between you as a user of the Marketplace ("User", "you", and "your", as the context requires) and Redbubble Inc, 111 Sutter Street, 17th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA (“Redbubble”, “we”, “us”, and “our” as the context requires). Users of the Marketplace include all independent third-party sellers ("Sellers") as well as their respective customers and potential customers ("Buyers").
If you are a Seller, you acknowledge and agree that uploading, publishing, posting or otherwise generating graphics, images, art, artwork, works, photographs, illustrations, listings, information, text, data, video, sound, music or any other material on the Marketplace (“Content”) comes with important legal responsibilities. It is your responsibility to make sure you are not violating anyone’s rights or breaking any laws by using the Marketplace, including by publishing your Content, offering products for sale that display your Content (“Products”) and otherwise using or accessing the hosting and facilitation services that Redbubble provides in connection with the Marketplace (the “Redbubble Services”). The Redbubble Services include, but are not limited to, the facilitation of the following: customer service interactions between Sellers and Buyers, payment processing by third parties, Sellers’ marketing and promotional activities on the Marketplace and offsite, and the distribution and manufacturing of Sellers’ Products by third parties. If a Buyer decides to place an order for a Seller’s Product, then based on the Seller’s and Buyer’s instructions, the Marketplace will forward the order information to independent third-party fulfillers (“Fulfillers”) who will manufacture and ship the Product in the form specified by Seller and their Buyer.
All Users should be aware that Redbubble does not prescreen all the Content or Products that Sellers upload to, or otherwise generate on, the Marketplace. While Redbubble does not permit unlawful Content or Products on the Marketplace, Redbubble cannot guarantee that each Seller complies with this User Agreement or the law at all times. Sellers are responsible for their Content and for possessing the applicable rights to the Products they offer, and they are in the best position to respond to inquiries regarding their Content and their Products. Also, if you are just browsing others’ artwork and Product offerings, please respect the intellectual property rights of others and don’t steal their art or anyone else’s. All Users should respect each other and respect the art you find here, and if you do so, you will help make this community a creative, inspiring and enjoyable place.
You agree to be bound by the terms of this User Agreement whenever you use the Marketplace, register an account on the Marketplace, log into the Marketplace or place an order on the Marketplace, so it is important that you carefully read and agree to all the terms in this User Agreement. If you do not agree with the terms of this User Agreement, or any of our other policies including, but not limited to, our IP/Publicity Rights Policy, our Community and Content Guidelines, and our Privacy Policy (all of which are incorporated by reference in this User Agreement), you may not use the Marketplace or any of the Redbubble Services.
IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION IV BELOW THAT APPLIES TO ALL USERS, AS IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BETWEEN YOU AND REDBUBBLE.
This User Agreement is divided into the following sections:
I. General Terms for All Users
II. Special Terms for Buyers
III. Special Terms for Sellers
IV. Dispute Resolution, Binding Individual Arbitration, Jury Trial Waiver, Class Action Waiver for All Users
The Marketplace is only available to, and may only be used by, adults who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. This means that you must be at least 18 years old to use the Marketplace. Minors are not permitted to use the Marketplace under any circumstances unless properly supervised by their parent or legal guardian.
We accept no liability for any failure to comply with this User Agreement where such failure is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If we waive any rights available to us under this User Agreement on one occasion, this does not mean that those rights will automatically be waived on any other occasion. If any of the terms of this User Agreement are held to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal for any reason, the remaining terms and conditions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
We may amend the terms of this User Agreement and our policies from time to time in our sole discretion. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes either by sending you an email to the email address you have registered with Redbubble and/or by displaying on our Marketplace information about modifications to this User Agreement. Either way, your continued use of the Marketplace will constitute ongoing agreement to the terms in this User Agreement as updated from time to time.
The Redbubble Services may contain translations powered by Google LLC. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement.
When creating an account, you must provide a username, your email address and a password. The registration of a legal entity or a partnership may only be carried out by a natural person authorized to represent the entity or partnership, who must be designated by name. Only a single natural person may be the owner of an account. When registering, you must provide the required data completely and truthfully. If this data changes after registration, you must update it immediately. If you provide false data or do not provide changes immediately, we may exclude you from our Marketplace.
To help us verify your identity and to protect the security of your account and to comply with the law, you may be requested to provide current and accurate information about yourself such as your name, physical address, telephone number, date of birth, tax ID or VAT number, and company registration (if applicable). We may also request that you send us additional documents or information to help verify your identity such as a copy of your government-issued identification and other documents that may be legally required. It is prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person through your account. You agree and acknowledge that if you do not provide the information or documents requested that your account may be terminated or restricted and any of your Seller earnings associated with your account may be delayed or withheld.

You agree that you will not disclose your password to any other person and you will not keep your password where it can be copied or used by anyone other than you. If you suspect someone else knows your password, you must change it immediately.
In the event that you can no longer access your account and request our assistance in remedying the situation, we may, to the extent permitted by law, request information about your identity in order to ensure that you are the owner of the user account in question. This serves in particular to ensure the security of user accounts and to prevent third parties from gaining unlawful access to user accounts.
Redbubble respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we require that all Users do the same. If you believe that Content on the Marketplace has been used in a way that constitutes an infringement or violation of your rights, and you are the rights holder or the rights holder’s legal representative, please immediately notify us by sending a Notice and Takedown Request. For all other intellectual property-related correspondence, you can reach us at: dmca@redbubble.com. More information on intellectual property matters can be found in our IP/Publicity Rights Policy.
Since publication is completely automated, Redbubble does not prescreen any of the Content published to our Marketplace or the Products offered for sale by Sellers. The responsibility for Content and Products lies solely with the respective Seller, and Redbubble cannot guarantee that Sellers will not display “Inappropriate Content.” Inappropriate Content includes, but is not limited to, Content that infringes the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any person or company, or that defames or vilifies any person, people, races, religion or religious group, is obscene, pornographic, indecent, harassing, threatening, harmful, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, objectionable or otherwise in violation of the law, this User Agreement, our IP/Publicity Rights Policy, or our Community and Content Guidelines. Redbubble reserves the right to remove or restrict access to any User’s Content or Products in its sole discretion.
Please help us by letting us know straight away about any inappropriate Content you see on the Marketplace. You can do this by clicking the "Inappropriate Content" link displayed on each Product listing page. If you believe your intellectual property rights, including copyright and trademark, or other rights are being infringed, you can submit a Notice and Takedown Request. More information on intellectual property matters can be found in our IP/Publicity Rights Policy.

The Marketplace incorporates a review tool that enables you to review the Products offered for sale by Sellers on the Marketplace (the “Review Tool”). The Review Tool is the intellectual property of Yotpo, not Redbubble.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION IV BELOW THAT APPLIES TO ALL USERS, AS IT AFFECTS HOW DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BETWEEN YOU AND REDBUBBLE.
The terms in this Section II are without limitation to terms in other sections of this User Agreement that apply to Buyers, both Buyers and Sellers, and all Users of the Marketplace.
Buyers can purchase products from Sellers on the Marketplace by using a valid credit card or a third-party payment processor. You do not have to be a User to purchase a product. The retail price you pay is determined by the Seller and is fixed at the time of ordering. An additional service fee may be collected by us at checkout that helps cover the costs of running the Marketplace to connect Sellers, Buyers, and Fulfillers.
Buyers may not cancel an order once it has been submitted. It is your responsibility as the Seller’s customer to ensure your Product delivery address is correct. Redbubble, the Sellers, and any other third parties take no responsibility for any Product you do not receive – or receive late – in connection with the delivery address you provide to the Marketplace including, but not limited to, errors in the address you provide.
We do not warrant, endorse, make representations about or recommend any Content, artwork, images, or text hosted on the Marketplace or Products offered for sale on the Marketplace by Sellers. Sellers’ Content may parody, reference or otherwise be inspired by popular brands or public individuals but may not be endorsed or licensed by any brand or individual, and Redbubble makes no representations or warranties regarding endorsement, affiliation or licensing status. Sellers are responsible for the Content they upload and the Products they sell, including the securing of any necessary third-party rights or licenses.
Delivery of Products will be facilitated pursuant to your instructions by postal or courier service and will be paid for by you at the amount that is indicated at the time of purchase. Shipping charges will be applied to the order, which will vary depending upon multiple factors, like location and the size and price of the product.
If a Product is delivered to you, but it is damaged in some way, the applicable third parties who participated in the Product order will be notified, so that they may issue a Product replacement. As a condition to receiving any remedy for a damaged Product, you may be required to submit reasonable proof of such damage in the form of a photo of the damaged Product or the return of the damaged Product itself to the Marketplace. You will bear any cost of returning such Product. If you receive a damaged Product, then you must email customer service within fourteen (14) days of receipt to report the nature of the damage and to request a new product to be sent to you at no cost to you. In addition to the damaged goods policy described above, other remedies may be available for Buyers who wish to return Products, which will be published in the Help Centre.
Please be aware that Content on the Marketplace is created and controlled by the Sellers, and the Sellers design the Products and the Product previews. As such, the Content and the Products are the Seller’s responsibility. Before you order a Product from the applicable Seller, you, as the Customer, are responsible for verifying it is the Product you want including, but not limited to, the quality of the Content, the image printed on the Product, misspelled words, grammatical errors, formatting, overall design and appearance, licensing status, source or origin of goods, affiliation, or overall appearance. If you require further information to verify the Product is what you want, you may contact the Seller directly using Bubblemail, which can be found on the respective Seller’s shop page, or through some other means provided by the Seller, such as their social media pages.
The terms in this Section III are without limitation to terms in other sections of this User Agreement that apply to Sellers, both Sellers and Buyers, and all Users of the Marketplace.
As a Seller, you wish to use the Redbubble Services to facilitate your marketing and sale of your Products and to facilitate the manufacture of your physical Products by third-party Fulfillers once an order has been made through the Marketplace, and the subsequent third-party delivery of your Products to your Customer. Redbubble will provide the Redbubble Services on the terms set out in this User Agreement.
Most importantly, to ensure this online destination for creativity is available for all, it is essential that all Users respect the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademark rights and publicity rights. Sellers may only upload their original creations and only offer products for sale that display their original creations. If you are uploading or using something that you didn’t create yourself, then you must have permission from the applicable rights holder who owns that content. Respecting the intellectual property rights and other rights of everyone is an essential principle of the Marketplace.
Also, displaying your art on the Marketplace puts it out there for the world to see. You need to be aware that publishing your Content in this way comes with important legal responsibilities. It is your responsibility to make sure you are not violating anyone’s rights or breaking any laws by using the Marketplace, including by publishing your Content, offering your Products for sale and otherwise using or accessing the Redbubble Services.
Redbubble, acting as independent contractor under your instructions in relation to the performance of the Service, will facilitate marketing to and obtaining of orders from Buyers for the purchase of your Products over the Marketplace and on instruction from you, arrange for third parties to fulfill those orders by facilitating payment for and manufacture of your Products, and arrange for the delivery of your Products by third-parties as per the Customer’s instructions. Whilst Redbubble’s capacity is one of independent contractor in relation to the Redbubble Services, you are the principal in relation to the sales transaction between you and the Buyer of your Product.
Redbubble will provide the Redbubble Services pursuant to this User Agreement until termination in accordance with its terms.
You agree that Redbubble is free to act in any capacity for any other person interested in promoting, marketing and obtaining orders from members of the public for the purchase of their Products over the Marketplace, including any Products that are the same as, or similar to, your Products.
Without limitation to any other rights and licenses you grant to Redbubble, its affiliates or third parties in connection with the Redbubble Services, including but not limited to Section I: General Terms for All Users of the Marketplace and any Licensor T&Cs, you hereby grant Redbubble the rights and license set forth in this User Agreement for the purpose of enabling us to carry out the Redbubble Services. You hereby instruct Redbubble to facilitate the sale of your Product(s), which includes facilitating payment processing and arranging for manufacturing of your Product, in respect of the orders placed by the Buyers via the Marketplace, and Redbubble will facilitate such payment and manufacturing in accordance with reasonable business practices unless you otherwise instruct prior to the placement of that order by your customer.
The retail price charged to Buyers who purchase your Product is made up of the manufacturing fee charged by the third-party manufacturer, Redbubble’s fee for hosting the Marketplace and facilitating the transaction (the manufacturing fee and Redbubble’s fee are referred to collectively, and inclusive of tax, as the “Base Amount”), your creator margin (“your Margin”), and any relevant sales tax (such as sales tax, GST, VAT, etc) that Redbubble and/or you (as the case may be) are liable to account for to the appropriate tax authorities. The total amount may be affected by Marketplace discounts and shipping charges that are added to the retail price. When making each individual Product available for sale, you are able to select any percentage mark-up you wish, greater than or equal to zero, above the Base Amount but below the automated upper limit (subject to change from time to time). The percentage mark-up selected by you on the Marketplace for each of your Products is used to calculate the currency value of your Margin for each sale.
You may change the percentage mark-up on top of the Base Amount at any time by changing your selection on the Marketplace. The Base Amount may change at any time with or without notice, which may affect the dollar value of your margin, which you set as a percentage of the Base Amount. The retail price will not change on an individual sale after a Buyer has submitted an order to the Marketplace.
You will receive an automatically generated email at the email address you registered in your account to notify you when an order has been placed for your Product(s).
You agree that Redbubble makes no representation that it will be able to facilitate an order for your Products, whether at the retail price or at all, nor that you will obtain any benefit by entering into this User Agreement.
All Products purchased from the Marketplace are manufactured by third-party Fulfillers in accordance with your design instructions and pursuant to arrangements with the third-party Fulfillers. This means that title and risk of loss for such items pass from you to the Buyer without passing through Redbubble prior to the goods being delivered to the Buyer under the Buyer’s instructions.
You authorize Redbubble to collect, hold and distribute the retail price (“Sale Proceeds”) from Buyers on the terms set out in this Payment Terms section. A shipping charge will also be charged to the Customer for the shipping of the Product, which will not affect the amount to be distributed to you.
You authorize Redbubble to deduct the Base Amount (which includes Redbubble’s fee for facilitation services, including tax where applicable) from the Sale Proceeds for your Products before distributing your Margin (which will include tax where applicable).
We will pay your Margin in accordance with the payment method you select on the Marketplace. This will usually take place between the 15th and 20th days of the month.
We may set payment amount threshold amounts in relation to a month or other time period and, where the payment amount does not exceed any applicable threshold for the relevant period, your payment may be postponed until the threshold is exceeded.
It is your responsibility to ensure Redbubble has current details of your postal address, bank account details and other information required by our policies and/or the law. Redbubble will not be liable for any loss suffered by you if you provide us with incorrect details in relation to the payment method or any other information you provide. If you cannot be paid because you have given us incorrect information or your information is out of date, your Margin may be delayed or withheld. If you have not notified Redbubble of any amendment to the payment method details in that time, your Margin proceeds will be forfeited to Redbubble or donated to a charity of our choice, subject to applicable law.
To help us verify your identity and to protect the security of your account and to comply with the law, you may be requested to provide current and accurate information about yourself (such as your name, physical address, telephone number, date of birth, tax ID or VAT number, and company registration (if applicable). We may also request that you send us additional documents or information to help verify your identity such as a copy of your government-issued identification and other documents that may be legally required. It is prohibited to use false information or impersonate another person through your account. You agree and acknowledge that if you do not provide the information or documents requested that your account may be terminated or suspended and any of your Seller earnings associated with your account may be delayed or withheld.
Any information you choose to publish in the public section of your profile may be viewed, distributed or linked to within the Marketplace and on the platforms of third parties, such as offsite marketing platforms if you choose to advertise your Products on offsite platforms.
Your account may be classified as Redbubble Standard, Redbubble Premium, or Redbubble Pro. Accounts are classified based on various criteria subject to change at our discretion and additional fees may apply to one or all tiers. The account fee applies when a Seller makes sales in a given payment period, and is a flat fee based on earnings in that period. If you make no sales during the payment period, you will not be charged a fee. If the fee does apply, it will be deducted from your payments automatically.
Redbubble will collect and remit sales taxes (such as sales tax, GST, VAT, etc.) on your behalf where required by applicable federal or state taxation laws or regulations. However, if Redbubble is not required by applicable federal or state taxation laws or regulations to collect and remit sales taxes:
(a) Each party is responsible for their own taxes associated with each transaction and will account for any taxes imposed by governments or governing authorities, and related accounting or audit requirements arising out of, as a result of, incidental to, or in connection with obligations under this User Agreement. We recommend that you consult with your tax advisor as to the application of taxes for you, as the seller of the merchandise. This may include sales tax, VAT, GST, other transactional taxes and income taxes;
(b) Redbubble will not collect or pay taxes on your behalf as you are the principal in the sale of your product to Buyers. As stated above under “Payment Terms”, the amounts distributed to you will be deemed to be inclusive of any taxes, if applicable. You will at all times be solely responsible for reporting and remitting any tax liabilities arising out of the sale of your Products together with any potential interest or penalties that any tax authority may levy as a result of non-compliance; and
(c) all tax-related reporting responsibilities by you to relevant tax authorities are entirely your responsibility.

All Sellers grant Redbubble permission to facilitate the sustainable disposal of any returned Product including, but not limited to, as a result of refund, reprint, or product sampling.
Redbubble facilitates Sellers’ promotion and marketing of products displaying their Content by providing the Redbubble Services, including tools for them to create publicly-viewable Product listing pages and offer their Products to Buyers. Buyers can find your Products via a Marketplace-wide search tool and/or through third-party online and social media channels. If you choose to include your Products in offsite marketing, Redbubble is under no obligation to facilitate your aforementioned promotion and marketing activities, and you acknowledge that such activities are not controlled by Redbubble and are dependent upon actions of third parties independent to Redbubble, such as the functionality of third-party marketing platforms and the browsing behavior of third-party users of those platforms. You or Redbubble may exclude your Products from offsite marketing at any time for any reason in your or Redbubble’s sole discretion.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless, Redbubble, our officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and representatives, as well as all third parties participating in the Marketplace including, but not limited to, Fulfillers, third-party shippers, payment processors, and Licensors that have facilitated the sale or offer for sale of your Products, and each of their officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees) or other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from your breach or alleged breach of any clause of this User Agreement; any allegation that your use of the Marketplace, your Content or your Products infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; and/or your activities in connection with the Marketplace.

This indemnity will be applicable without regard to the negligence of any party, including any indemnified person. Without limitation to other unspecified provisions of this User Agreement that survive termination, this Indemnity section will survive the termination of this User Agreement.
Without limitation to other disclaimers and limitations of liability in this User Agreement, in no case will Redbubble be liable for any consequential loss or damage suffered by you arising from this User Agreement.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT APPLIES NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU LIVE, BUT IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO THE PROTECTION OF THE MANDATORY CONSUMER PROTECTION PROVISIONS OF YOUR LOCAL CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW. BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND REDBUBBLE OR ITS AFFILIATES BOTH EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”).
If you have a problem or dispute, we will try our best to resolve it. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue your claim as set forth in this section. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed in all respects by California law, without regard to its or any other jurisdiction’s choice of law provisions.
The Arbitration Agreement between you and Redbubble is very broad: it covers all disputes, claims, or controversies, including those you may have had before you agreed to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement (“Terms”), arising out of or relating to (i) these Terms, (ii) any part of the Redbubble Services including, but not limited to, the purchase or sale of products through the Marketplace, (iii) any dealings with Redbubble, including any of its affiliates, agents, contractors, employees, or representatives, and (iv) the relationship between you and Redbubble, including, the validity, enforceability, and scope of this Arbitration Agreement (collectively, “Disputes”).
You agree that all Disputes, except those mentioned in the very next sentence, shall be resolved through binding arbitration, subject to the limitations described in Sections C and D, below. Disputes that may be brought in small claims court are not subject to arbitration.
It is in all the parties' interests to resolve any issues as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Therefore, the parties agree to attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 45 days before initiating arbitration. The 45-day period begins upon receipt of written notice from one party to the other (“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute must: (a) include the full name and contact information of the party raising the Dispute; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) explain what relief is being sought. We will send our Notice of Dispute to either your billing or email address, or both. You must send your Notice of Dispute to the following address: Attn: Legal, Redbubble Inc., 111 Sutter St., 17th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94104.
Any offers to settle the Dispute made during the 45-day informal dispute resolution period shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator in any subsequent arbitration proceeding.
The parties expressly agree that, if either party initiates an arbitration proceeding without first attempting informal resolution of a Dispute as set forth in this section, such arbitration proceeding may be immediately administratively terminated upon the request of any party.
If we cannot resolve the Dispute informally, either party may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by confidential, binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other party.
You and we agree that this User Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Subject to the Express Limitations on Arbitration in Section D, below, an arbitrator may award any relief to either party that would be available in a court to the extent required to satisfy your Dispute; provided, however, that any injunctive, equitable or declaratory relief is specifically excluded from this Arbitration Agreement. Any injunctive relief sought by either party, where such remedies are permitted, shall be severed from the arbitration and must be sought in a court of law. In the case that you seek both money damages and injunctive relief, then you agree, consistent with section 3 of the Federal Arbitration Act, that the court may stay your claims for injunctive relief pending final resolution of your Dispute in arbitration.
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Consumer Rules”), but with the following modifications to those rules:
Arbitration fees and costs shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, or if you send us proof to the Notice of Dispute address above indicating that you are unable to pay the administrative fees required to initiate an arbitration, we will pay all AAA administrative fees.
If the total demand sought in the Dispute does not exceed $25,000, the arbitration will be presumed to be conducted solely on the basis of written submissions. However, the Arbitrator shall maintain the discretion, upon the specific request of a party, to require a face-to-face hearing.
The parties may bring any dispositive motion or motions during the course of the proceedings.
The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, which will include the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.
The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. A party may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. For such purposes, you and Redbubble agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and California state courts in San Francisco County.
Arbitration rules and forms may be obtained from AAA at https://www.adr.org or by calling AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT AS TO ALL DISPUTES, EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If the foregoing clause is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
Notwithstanding this express class action waiver, in the event that a binding arbitration proceeding involving the parties is deemed to meet the criteria of a “multiple consumer case filing,” as set forth in the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules - Costs of Arbitration, then either party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply to the arbitrator to have all “multiple consumer case filings” transferred before the same arbitrator. If, and only if, such transfer occurs, any party to these transferred multiple consumer case filings may then move by written submission to the arbitrator to conduct pre-hearing activities only—such as discovery and dispositive motion practice—in a manner that will have common effect on all multiple consumer case filings. The arbitrator shall provide all affected parties an opportunity to be heard before deciding, in its own discretion, whether and to what extent to permit common pre-hearing activities in multiple consumer case filings. For the avoidance of any doubt, all arbitration hearings will proceed on an individual basis.
If the arbitration requires an in-person hearing, the hearing will take place in the county in which you reside.
If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause set forth in paragraph D above) is found to be unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
