ATTACHMENT 1 - 

MANDATORY ARBITRATION


In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Native Pet or any other third-party service provider acting on Native Pet’s behalf, arising out of or relating to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by arbitration in St. Louis, MO before a single arbitrator.


  1. You and Native Pet both agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Native Pet’s principal place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. 

  1. Within 10 calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within 10 calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court.

 

  1. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. 

  1. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY VIA ARBITRATION AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise in a signed writing, 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.  

  1. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION, YOU MUST NOTIFY NATIVE PET IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS.  YOU MAY OPT OUT BY MAILING A WRITTEN NOTICE TO NATIVE PET AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION 10.4. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO NATIVE PET MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME, MAILING ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER, AS WELL AS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH NATIVE PET THROUGH ARBITRATION.  

  1. Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to the arbitration provisions in this Attachment 1 in the future (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein), that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Native Pet prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Native Pet. We will notify you of amendments to the arbitration provisions of this Attachment 1 by posting the amended terms on https://nativepet.com/policies/terms-of-service, and/or by providing notice to you by email, at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may cancel your subscription, not buy any products after the effective date, and close your account with Native Pet the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

  1. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Attachment 1 is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive for so long as a claim could be brought against Native Pet.

  1. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND NATIVE PET EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.  THIS MEANS THAT ANY CLAIM WOULD BE DECIDED BY A JUDGE, NOT A JURY.  FURTHER, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM THAT PROCEEDS IN A COURT, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
