16. Dispute Resolution

In the event of any controversy, claim, action or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Services (including any transactions through or with the Services), or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this privacy policy or any part of it, except for disputes that qualify for small claims court or those related to an intellectual property (“dispute”), the party asserting the dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

(1) Us at: info@verabloom.com; and
(2) You at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address used upon check-out on this website, or in your user account if applicable.

You agree that the dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party.

If any dispute cannot be resolved by the above dispute resolution procedure, you agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction for such dispute will be decided by binding arbitration on an individual basis. Arbitration on an individual basis means that you will not have, and you waive, the right for a judge or jury to decide your claims, and that you may not proceed in a class, consolidated, or representative capacity. Other rights that you and we would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect in the New York, New York area, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

The arbitrator, and not any Federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these terms, including any claim that all or any part of this privacy policy is void or voidable.

17. Changes to this Policy
