Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to, or use of, the GoodFriend website, the Services, your relationship or communications with GoodFriend (including indirect communications through third parties), or otherwise related to this Agreement (“Disputes”), shall be resolved exclusively through confidential arbitration rather than in court, and shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. The United States Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Any question as to the validity of this Arbitration Agreement shall be submitted to confidential arbitration and decided by an arbitrator. If a Dispute arises under this Agreement, you agree to first contact us at legal@kinship.com . Before formally submitting a Dispute to arbitration, you and we may choose to informally resolve the Dispute. If any Dispute cannot be resolved informally, you agree that any and all Disputes, including the validity of this arbitration clause and class action waiver, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in a location convenient to you or telephonically. Either you or we may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures, Supplemental Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, in effect at the time of submission of the demand for arbitration. The AAA’s rules are and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org. Except as may be required by law as determined by the arbitrator, no party or arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to arbitration and may be adjudicated only in the state and federal courts of Delaware: (i) any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to or contesting the validity of our, or one of our family company’s, intellectual property rights and proprietary rights, including, without limitation, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, or trade secrets; (ii) an action by us for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, whether prohibitive or mandatory, or other provisional relief; (iii) any legal action by us against a non-consumer; and (iv) interactions with governmental and regulatory authorities. You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims in any representative or class-wide capacity, including, but not limited to, bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement may be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through a class action, private attorney general proceeding, class arbitration proceedings, or otherwise. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this arbitration agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this arbitration agreement shall still apply; however, if an arbitrator or court decides that the class action waiver is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION. You shall have thirty (30) days from the earliest of the date that you visit the Website, make a purchase through the Services, or submit information through the Website to opt out of this arbitration agreement, by contacting us by email at legal@kinship.com .
