14. Arbitration Clause

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site shall be resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. The arbitration is to be held before a single arbitrator pursuant to the then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and conducted in the County and City of New York, State of New York. The arbitrator shall be jointly selected by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator, either party may request the AAA to select the arbitrator. Before beginning the proceedings, the appointed arbitrator must provide an oath or undertaking of impartiality.

All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted on a confidential basis. Any award, order or judgment pursuant to such arbitration shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Prior to any arbitration, the parties mutually agree to attempt to mediate any dispute in accordance with the then-current AAA Mediation Procedures. The costs of such non-binding mediation shall be shared equally between the parties. Each party shall bear the cost of their own attorneys. Agreements reached in mediation shall be enforceable as settlement agreements in any court having jurisdiction.

The parties agree that the arbitration of any dispute shall be conducted on an individual basis only and not on a class-wide basis, and that no arbitration proceedings may be consolidated with any other arbitration or legal proceeding involving Sassy Saints or any other person. The arbitrator shall not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION YOU ARE WAIVING, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE USE OF THE SITE (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (B) IT HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (C) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY; AND (D) IT HAS DECIDED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN CONSIDERATION OF, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration clause by sending written notice to legal@sassysaints.com within 30 days of the date you first agree to these Terms of Use with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your name and email address associated with your account. If you opt out, the governing law and dispute resolution provisions of Section 12 will apply.

15. Class Action Waiver

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM — WHETHER RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION, COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION — SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE NOT TO BE A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR ANY DISPUTE. NO ARBITRATOR, JUDGE, OR OTHER DECISION-MAKER MAY CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this class action waiver by sending written notice to legal@sassysaints.com within 30 days of the date you first agree to these Terms of Use with the subject line "Class Action Waiver Opt-Out" and including your name and email address associated with your account. If you opt out of the class action waiver but not the arbitration clause, disputes will still be resolved by individual arbitration.

16. Miscellaneous

If any condition of any part of these Terms of Use shall be deemed invalid, void or unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision. The headings contained herein are for purposes of convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Sassy Saints with respect to your use of the Site and the Content, and supersede any and all prior understandings or agreements between you and Sassy Saints, whether written or oral.

Sassy Saints' failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not be considered a waiver of those rights. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use will be effective only if in writing and signed by Sassy Saints.
