DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION” PROVISION CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH GOODLIFE DESIGN BV AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

THIS PROVISION PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST GOODLIFE DESIGN BV. IT ALSO PRECLUDES YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST GOODLIFE DESIGN BV BY SOMEONE ELSE. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

WHETHER TO AGREE TO ARBITRATION IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO MAKE AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS IT IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND TO CONSULT WITH OTHERS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

Scope of Arbitration Provision. You and Goodlife Design BV agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of any Goodlife Design BV Offering or to these Terms of Use (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of these Terms of Use) (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, except that you and Goodlife Design BV are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

Location of Arbitration and Applicable Rules. You and Goodlife Design BV agree that such arbitration shall occur in Den Hague, The Netherlands. You may request to appear in such proceedings telephonically. You and Goodlife Design BV agree that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”), as modified by these Terms of Use.

Authority of Arbitrator. With the exception of class procedures and remedies as discussed below under “Waiver of Class Relief,” the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.

Confidentiality. You and Goodlife Design BV shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision

Allocation of Arbitration Fees. If you assert a Dispute as a consumer, you will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 of the fees charged by JAMS in connection with any arbitration under this section, and Goodlife Design BV will bear all other costs charged by JAMS or the arbitrator, including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees.

WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND GOODLIFE DESIGN BV WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOU AND GOODLIFE DESIGN BV ARE EACH WAIVING RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Procedure to Opt Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt out of this arbitration provision only by written Notice via U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.) to Goodlife Design BV, Attn: Legal Department, at van ‘t Hoffstraat 37, 2665 JL Bleiswijk. You must send such Notice within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Terms of Use. You must sign and date the Notice, and include in it your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Goodlife Design BV through arbitration. If you do not follow this procedure by your thirty (30) day deadline to do so, then you and Goodlife Design BV shall both be bound by the terms of this section entitled Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration.

If any portion of this section entitled “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS

You and Goodlife Design BV agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of a Goodlife Design BV Offering, these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose, and is thereafter forever barred.

SEVERABILITY
