15. JURISDICTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

WE BOTH AGREE TO ARBITRATE: You and Drunk Elephant agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms and Conditions through final and binding arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights). Under such circumstances we may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Website, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

WHAT IS ARBITRATION: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.

ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in front of one arbitrator. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms and Conditions, the rules set forth in these Terms and Conditions will govern. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. To initiate arbitration, you or we must do the following things:

(1) Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com .
(2) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to: JAMS to your local JAMS office or to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111.
(3) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If travelling to New York is a burden, you may participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees). Arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement shall be held in the United States in New York, NY under New York law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR: The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Drunk Elephant, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and us in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND DRUNK ELEPHANT WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: You can decline this Arbitration Agreement by emailing us at adroptout@sac.shiseido.com and providing the requested information as follows:
(1)Your Name;
(2) the URL to these Terms and Conditions;
(3) Your Address;
(4) Your Phone Number;
(5) and clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision in the Terms of Conditions. The Opt-Out Notice must be emailed no later than 30 days after the date you first accept the Terms and Conditions by using the Website.

CHOICE OF LAW/FORUM SELECTION: In any circumstances where this Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of New York as if the Terms and Conditions were a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within New York. You further expressly consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of (i) a state court of competent jurisdiction located in New York County, New York, or (ii) the United State District Court for the Southern District of New York.

16. SEVERABILITY.

If any provision in these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable or contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be construed, limited, or altered, as necessary, to eliminate the invalidity or unenforceability or the conflict with applicable law, and all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in effect.

17. GENERAL

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms and Conditions at any time by posting the changes on the Website and revising the Last Updated date at the top of these Terms and Conditions. Any changes are effective immediately upon posting to the Website. If you do not agree with any of the changes you should stop using the Website. The sections on indemnification and limitation of liability do not apply to New Jersey residents.

18. CALIFORNIA TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAIN ACT DISCLOSURE

On January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act went into effect in California. This act requires retail sellers and manufacturers doing business in California to disclose the efforts made to ensure its supply chains are free from slavery and human trafficking in effort to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from product supply chains.

Drunk Elephant is committed to being responsible in its global business practices and takes steps with its product suppliers to ensure compliance with Drunk Elephant’ standards of conduct as set forth in Shiseido Group Supplier Code of Conduct, of which Drunk Elephant is a part, and all applicable laws. Drunk Elephant has made the following efforts to ensure compliance by its product suppliers:

Certification: Drunk Elephant requires all product suppliers to confirm in writing that they understand and will adhere to the Shiseido Group Supplier Code of Conduct. The Shiseido Group Supplier Code of Conduct specifically requires product suppliers to certify that all goods are manufactured in compliance with the wage and hour, slavery and human trafficking laws of the country of manufacture and without the use of children or prison, indentured, exploited, bonded, forced or slave labor.

Training: The Shiseido Group’s global procurement and supply chain management teams are trained on the Shiseido Group Supplier Code of Conduct and how to identify possible indicators of human trafficking and slavery in the supply chain to ensure that no risk factors are present.

Audits & Verification: The Shiseido Group’s global procurement and supply chain management teams have the ability to audit product suppliers either itself or conduct an independent third party assessment, including conducting on-site inspections to assess factory conditions and ensure that management is not in violation of slavery and human-trafficking laws.

Accountability: Drunk Elephant will not do business with any supplier who will not agree to comply with the Shiseido Global Supplier Code of Conduct or its other accountability standards. Drunk Elephant will issue a warning to any supplier, employee or contractor who willfully or knowingly fails to comply with these standards and, if the supplier, employee, or contractor fails to take prompt corrective action, Drunk Elephant will enforce disciplinary action including termination of the business relationship.

Drunk Elephant is dedicated to conducting its business with integrity and the highest standard of ethics and seeks the same level of integrity and ethical standards with its vendor and supplier partners. Drunk Elephant will continue to assess all risks and opportunities to ensure that its approach will prevent any injustice or violation of human rights within its supply chain.
