These Terms and Conditions And Policies are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United Kingdom, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law and will specifically not be governed by the united nations conventions on contracts for the international sale of goods, if otherwise applicable. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Use, the Excluded Disputes or if You opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, You agree to resolve any dispute You have with AfroAvenue exclusively in a court located in the City of London in the United Kingdom, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the City of London in the United Kingdom for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. You agree that all disputes between You and AfroAvenue (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to Your relationship with AfroAvenue, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms of Use, Your use of the Service, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under UK law for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and You and AfroAvenue hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You may alternatively bring Your claim in Your local "small claims" court, if permitted by that small claims court's rules. You may bring claims only on Your own behalf. Neither You nor AfroAvenue will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if AfroAvenue is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by UK law. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If You do so, neither You nor AfroAvenue can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, You must notify AfroAvenue in writing within 30 days of the date that You first became subject to this arbitration provision. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of Your relationship with AfroAvenue.
For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than £8,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final. You agree that any claim You may have arising out of or related to Your relationship with AfroAvenue must be filed within six months after such claim arose; otherwise, Your claim is permanently barred.
AfroAvenue's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or policy or any other term or condition or policy. Except as expressly and specifically contemplated by the Agreement, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by any AfroAvenue Affiliate shall be deemed legally binding on any AfroAvenue Affiliate, unless documented in a physical writing hand signed by a duly appointed officer of AfroAvenue. AfroAvenue reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of Your transactions with AfroAvenue. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render it enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision; if a court or arbitrator finds the modified provision invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected in any way. Notwithstanding the above, You agree that AfroAvenue shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
