Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) Requirement
(a) By using the Site(s) and any services obtained through the Site(s), including the purchase or use of tickets, You and Romancing Manhattan Tours agree to resolve any and all disputes and claims (all disputes and claims are referred to below as “Claims”) that may arise between us in individual binding arbitration, as enforceable under Section 2 of the United States Federal Arbitration Act (the “ADR Requirement”). Except as stated in paragraph (e) below, this ADR Requirement applies to every aspect of the relationship between You and Romancing Manhattan Tours, including any Claims that either of us may have in contract, tort, or under any other legal theory, and including without limitation Claims for personal injury, property damage, or any other kind of damage, loss or wrong. By agreeing to arbitration, You and Romancing Manhattan Tours are giving up the right to sue one another in court and to have a trial before a judge or jury.
(b) It is an essential term of this ADR Requirement that both You and Romancing Manhattan Tours may seek remedies only for their own individual Claims, that neither you nor Romancing Manhattan Tours shall have any right or option to have any Claim heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either of You or Romancing Manhattan Tours acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity, and that no arbitration shall be combined with another arbitration or other proceeding without the prior written consent from both you and Romancing Manhattan Tours. This limitation is called a “class action waiver.” Because the class action waiver is an essential part of this ADR Requirement, this requirement shall be null and void with respect to any Claim with for which the class action waiver is limited or determined to be unenforceable, and such Claim may only be brought in court.
(c) You and Romancing Manhattan Tours agree that the substantive law for deciding all Claims between us shall be the law of the State of New York, without regard to New York’s choice of law rules. You further agree that the statute of limitations for any Claim You may have against Romancing Manhattan Tours, or that Romancing Manhattan Tours may have against You, shall be one year; in other words, if You have any Claim against Romancing Manhattan Tours, You must assert it in arbitration within one year from the date the claim arose, and any Claims not brought within such period of time shall be deemed waived. The same time limitation applies to any Claim Romancing Manhattan Tours may have against You.
(d) You and Romancing Manhattan Tours agree that any arbitration shall be conducted before the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) (using the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes and the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules Expedited Procedures, if applicable), in English, at a location in New York County (Manhattan), New York State, United States of America. A copy of the AAA’s arbitration rules, including directions for filing a request for arbitration, is available through the AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th floor, New York, NY 10019 (phone: 1-800-778-7879).
(e) Notwithstanding any other terms of this ADR Requirement, You and Romancing Manhattan Tours agree that either of us may litigate any Claim in the small claims court of New York County (Manhattan), New York, if the Claim meets all requirements to be heard in that court, but if such a Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, you and Romancing Manhattan Tours will each have the right to require that the Claim be arbitrated pursuant to this agreement.
(f) You and Romancing Manhattan Tours agree that, if either you or Romancing Manhattan Tours commence an arbitration against the other, arbitration costs, including compensation for the arbitrator(s), shall be split between us according to AAA rules. Additionally, the prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this ADR Requirement shall be entitled to be reimbursed for its reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(g) If You do not agree to resolve all Claims between us as required by this Alternative Dispute Resolution Requirement, You may return your ticket prior to using it (or cancel an online purchase), and provide Romancing Manhattan Tours with a statement that you do not agree to be bound by this ADR Requirement, and Romancing Manhattan Tours will refund the price of your ticket or cancel your online purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this ADR Requirement will be effective for any and all other Claims relating in any way to the use of the Site(s).
