ENTIRE AGREEMENT
Except as modified or supplemented by a writing executed by both parties, the Terms and Conditions described herein are the only representations, warranties, and understandings between the parties with respect to the products and/or services described herein.
DISPUTES
In the event of a dispute, You agree to attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting Us at editor@thedermreview.com prior to taking any other action. Failure to contact Us to attempt a dispute resolution prior to taking any other action will result in a breach of this Agreement by You.
If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute arising under these Terms and Conditions by discussion and negotiation within 14 days of receipt of written notice of the dispute from a party, then the dispute will be referred to mediation. The mediation shall be conducted in NZ (or such other mutually convenient forum in NZ) and administered by LEADR under its Commercial Mediation Procedures. Each party will bear its own costs of mediation and will pay one-half of the mediation costs. If mediation has not resolved the dispute within one month of the matter being referred to mediation, then either party may commence arbitration proceedings.
The parties have agreed that in the event of arbitration, all disagreements and matters in dispute between them shall be referred to a sole arbitrator for final determination in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the NZ Dispute Resolution Centre (the “Rules”) and that the parties will be bound by the findings of the said arbitration subject only to such rights as the parties may have under Articles 33 & 34 of the First Schedule to the Arbitration Act 1996 (the Act).
The parties agree to use their best endeavors to agree on an arbitrator within 5 working days of the date of issue of a Notice of Arbitration in terms of the Rules. The parties agree to the use of email for the service of all notices and for all legal requirements in connection with arbitration pursuant to these Terms and Conditions.
Please send any official notices regarding these Terms and Conditions to editor@thedermreview.com.
If the venue of this arbitration provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, the Parties agree that the arbitration shall be held under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Akron, Ohio. Should a court of competent jurisdiction deny arbitration then this Agreement and Your use of Our website will be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and the state and federal courts of general jurisdiction serving Akron, Ohio, will have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes arising out of, relating to, or concerning this Agreement or any other controversy between You and Us. You hereby waive any right to a trial by jury in the event of any controversy or claim relating to this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement, We shall be entitled to enforce all of Our legal remedies for the breach or wrongful activity including, but not limited to, seeking actual damages, the maximum amount of statutory damages under applicable statutes and Acts, profits, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. These remedies and damages are in addition to the monetary payments described above and/or any amounts otherwise due under this Agreement.
SEVERABILITY
If any provision, or portion thereof, of this Agreement, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, the Parties agree that such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Agreement and further agree to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provisions.
HEADINGS
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used to construe the meaning of this Agreement.
AGREEMENT UPDATES
This Agreement is effective as of October 28, 2022. We reserve the right to revise this policy from time to time without prior notice. You will be notified of any material changes in Our Terms of Service either by email or by a conspicuous posting on Our website.
