Dispute Resolution
Governing Law:
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
Agreement to Arbitrate:
You and SVP agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof the use of the Services, Content or User Submitted Content (collectively, “disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right (i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of the party’s copyright, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”). Without limiting the preceding sentence, you also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide SVP with written notice of your desire to do so by email or regular mail at 2142 Riverside Drive, West Columbia, TX 77486 within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms (such notice, an Arbitration Opt-out Notice”). If you don’t provide SVP with an Arbitration Out-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clause (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action or, if you timely provide SVP with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, will be the state and federal courts located in Texas and each of the parties hereto waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Unless you timely provide SVP with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice, you acknowledge and agree that you and SVP are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and SVP otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph it held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules:
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (the AAA rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitration Process:
The party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure:
Unless you and SVP otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and SVP submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and amount of damage for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. SVP will not seek, and hereby waive all rights it may have under applicable law to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Fees:
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, SVP will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of you claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous, or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
Changes:
Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Changes to Terms of Service” section above, if SVP changes this Dispute Resolution section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including email to quinceaneraquarterly@gmail.com) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of SVP’s email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and SVP in accordance with the provisions of this “Dispute Resolution” section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
General Terms
These Terms together with the Privacy Statement constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between SVP and you regarding the Services, User Submitted Content and Content, and these Terms together with the Privacy Statement supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between SVP and you regarding the Services, User Submitted Content and Content. If any provision of these Terms and/or the Privacy Statement is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the Terms of the “Arbitration” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an Arbitration Opt-out Notice in accordance with the Terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms and/or the Privacy Statement will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without SVP’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. SVP may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.

Any notices or other communication provided by SVP under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Sites or the App. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
SVP’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right our provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of SVP. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
