16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING ARBITRATION
In the Dispute Resolution Section only, "we" and "us" are used to refer to you and Company together.
(A) We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us regarding disputes at the address provided in these Terms. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us.
(B) We each agree to finally settle all disputes (as defined and subject to any specific exceptions below) only by arbitration. In arbitration, there's no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and limitations in the Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief. The arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. We each also agree as follows:
(i) "Disputes" are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to the Website, Website Content or these Terms of Use - this includes claims you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives, and claims Company may bring against you.
(ii) If either of us wants to arbitrate a dispute, we agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. We will send notice to you based on the contact information you have provided us and notice to us must be sent to: Recipe Runway LLC, 4957 Lakemont Blvd. SE, Suite C4-136, Bellevue, WA 98006. We agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
(iii) The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree the FAA's provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
(iv) The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its arbitration rules. If any AAA rule conflicts with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use apply. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or www.adr.org.
(v) The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place in Seattle, WA. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms of Use will also apply during the arbitration.
(vi) We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a classwide basis. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us (not brought on behalf of or together with another individual's claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn't apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
(vii) The prevailing party in the arbitration will be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and experts’ fees, which are incurred in connection with the arbitration.
(C) Either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
17. NO CLASS ACTIONS
To the extent allowed by law, we each waive any right to pursue disputes on a class-wide basis; that is, to either join a claim with the claim of any other person or entity, or assert a claim in a representative capacity on behalf of anyone else in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding.
18. NO TRIAL BY JURY
To the extent allowed by law, we each waive any right to trial by jury in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding.
19. TERMINATION
You may discontinue your use of Products or Services at any time. You agree that Company may at any time and for any reason, including a period of account inactivity, terminate your access to Products and/or Services, terminate the Terms, or suspend or terminate your account. In the event of termination, your account will be disabled and you may not be granted access to Products or Services, your account or any files or other content contained in your account. Sections 19 (Termination), 22 (Indemnity), 22 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 24 (Limitations of Liability), 25 (Exclusions and Limitations) and 29 (General Information including choice of law, severability and statute of limitations), of the Terms, shall survive expiration or termination.
20. ADVERTISEMENTS
Some Products and Services are supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions on them. Such advertisements may be targeted to the content of information stored by Company in its Products and Services. The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Company on its Products and Services are subject to change. As consideration for your use of Products and Services, you agree that Company may place such advertising and that Company shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred by you as a result of the presence of such advertisers on Products and/or Services or your subsequent dealings with advertisers.
21. LINKS
Company makes no representations as to the security, quality or propriety of any website which may be accessed through Company’s website(s).

In such a case, Company will provide you with written notice of such claim, suit or action.
23. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
You expressly understand and agree that:
  • Your use of products and services is at your sole risk. Products and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

  • No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from company or through or from products or services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in the terms.
24. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
You expressly understand and agree that company and partners shall not be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if company or partners have been advised of the possibility of such damages) resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use products and services; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information products or services purchased or obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through or from products or services; (iii) statements or conduct of any third party on products and services; or (iv) any other matter relating to products and services.
25. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Nothing in this agreement is intended to exclude or limit any condition, warranty, right or liability which may not be lawfully excluded or limited. Some United States jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions or the limitation or exclusion of liability for loss or damage caused by negligence, breach of contract or breach of implied terms or incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, only the above limitations which are lawful in your jurisdiction will apply to you and our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you live in a country other than the United States, exclusions and limitations are limited to those allowed within the jurisdiction of King County, Seattle, Washington.
