‍Dispute Resolution. Please read this arbitration agreement carefully.  It is part of your contract with Sift Food Labels and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

If, for some reason, a Dispute (defined below) arises (i) between you and Sift Food Labels in connection with your use of the Services, you, and Sift Food Labels agree to try and resolve such Dispute in good faith. If the Dispute cannot be resolved, you and Sift Food Labels agree that we will resolve the Dispute through individual binding arbitration in a non-representative capacity.

Instead of suing in court, you, and Sift Food Labels are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative action. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Sift Food Labels are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative action.  This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

In arbitration, there is no judge or jury. Instead, a neutral third-party arbitrator resolves disputes in a less formal process than in court. In arbitration, there is limited discovery and a court review of the arbitrator’s decision is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must follow the terms of the Agreement, and can award damages and relief, including attorney’s fees authorized by law.

Disputes include but are not limited to any claims or controversies against each other or in any way arising out of your use of the Services or the agreement between us, our policies, and contract practices and service, privacy or advertising claims, even if the claim arises after your use of the Services or after the Services have terminated. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, claims that: (a) you or an authorized or unauthorized user of the Services bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) you bring against a third party, that are based on, relate to, or arise out of in any way our Services or the agreement between us, but only to the extent we are or become a named party in such dispute; or (c) that we bring against you. Disputes also include, but are not limited to, (i) claims in any way related to or arising out of the foregoing matters whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims or any other legal theory; (ii) claims that arose before this Agreement or out of a prior agreement with Sift Food Labels; (iii) claims that are subject to ongoing litigation where you are not a party or class member; and/or (iv) claims that arise after the termination of this Agreement.

Before a you or Sift Food Labels may seek arbitration, the party must first send the others a written notice of Dispute (a “Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or Dispute and the requested relief. Any Notice to Sift Food Labels should be sent to the address set forth at the end of this Agreement. After the Notice is received, the parties may attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. If the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the Notice, any party may initiate an arbitration.

Unless you and Sift Food Labels agree otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and will take place in the capital city of the state in which you resided at the time you first accessed the Services. The arbitration will be governed by either: (a) rules that we mutually agree upon; or (b) the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this agreement to arbitrate, including the rules about the filing, administration, discovery and arbitrator fees. The JAMS rules are available on its website at www.jamsadr.com. Notwithstanding any JAMS Rule to the contrary or any other provision in arbitration rules chosen, by agreement, to govern the arbitration, we each agree that all issues regarding the Dispute are delegated to the arbitrator to decide, except that only a court (and not the arbitrator) shall decide any disagreements regarding the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) applies to this agreement and this arbitration provision. We each agree that the FAA’s provisions—not state law—govern all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. To the extent that this agreement to arbitrate conflicts with the JAMS Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards for Procedural Fairness (the “Minimum Standards”), the Minimum Standards in that regard will apply. However, nothing in this paragraph will require or allow you or Sift Food Labels to arbitrate on a class-wide, representative or consolidated basis.

The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. YOU AND SIFT FOOD LABELS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Sift Food Labels expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If any portion of this provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

You and Sift Food Labels are each responsible for their respective costs, including counsel, experts, and witnesses. Sift Food Labels will pay for any filing or case management fees associated with the arbitration and the professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.

An arbitrator’s award will be a written statement of the disposition of each claim and will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions which form the basis of the award. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some limited court review under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

As an alternative to arbitration, we may resolve Disputes in small claims court in the county where you resided at the time you first accessed the Services. In addition, this arbitration agreement does not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against Sift Food Labels on your behalf.

IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM IS AN ACTION, COUTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDING, WE EACH AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION AND WE EACH UNCONDITIONALLY (1) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND (2) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS, INCLUDING JOINING A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERTING A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACTITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING.

Limitation on Time to File Claims. Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Privacy Policy and any other rules posted by Sift Food Labels in connection with the Services constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between Sift Food Labels and you regarding the Services, and this Agreement supersedes and replaces any prior agreements between Sift Food Labels and you regarding the Services. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Sift Food Labels' prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees.
