ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE RESOLUTION AND LIMIT THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY DISPUTE, YOU AGREE TO BINDING ARBITRATION AS FURTHER DESCRIBED BELOW.

PLEASE READ THE BELOW PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY ALSO CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT.

Notice
In the event that a dispute or claim of any kind arises under these Terms or related to the Services, the Site, or Site Content, the party raising such disputes or claims must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Honor Cremations should be sent to:

Honor Cremations Inc.
2021 Monterey Highway, San Jose, CA 95112

After the Notice is received, you and Honor Cremations agree to use your best efforts to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Honor Cremations do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin a binding arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Arbitration  clause provided below. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration
If you do not reach a resolution of such claims or disputes with Honor Cremations through the informal process described above, such claims or disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by you and Honor Cremations. If the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed, then one arbitrator having reasonable experience in commercial disputes who is chosen by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules shall preside as the arbitrator to such disputes or claims brought hereunder. The arbitration shall take place in Alameda County, and judgment upon any award rendered in such arbitration will be binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Class Action Waiver
Neither you nor Honor Cremations shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. THIS MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION WHATSOEVER. Accordingly, you and Honor Cremations agree that any AAA Class Action Procedures do not apply to any claims or disputes brought by either party to arbitration. A court may sever any portion of this arbitration provision if it finds such unenforceable. Notwithstanding the obligation to arbitrate all claims or disputes under these Terms, you may assert an individual claim in small claims court in lieu of arbitration.

Injunctive Relief
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under these Terms.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be required to be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to these Terms.

If any lawsuit, claim, dispute, arbitration, or legal proceeding of any kind is brought by either party, each party shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees, and the parties agree to share any costs associated with arbitration equally.

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of law. You submit to the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts of or located in Santa Clara County, California, with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or in any way related to these Terms, and you hereby waive any venue or other objection which you may have to any such action or proceeding being brought in the federal or state courts of in Santa Clara County, California. No failure or delay by us in exercising any right under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right. If any portion of these Terms is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such portion will be deemed to be of no force or effect, and these Terms will be construed as if such portion had not been included. The headings used in these Terms are for convenience of reference only and do not affect the meaning or construction of these Terms.
