Binding Arbitration Agreement

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Gluesticks LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of www.gluesticksblog.com, any content provided on the Website, these Terms of Use, or any aspect of your relationship with Gluesticks LLC shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court.

This Arbitration Agreement applies to all claims that may arise between you and Gluesticks LLC, whether based on contract, statute, regulation, tort, or any other legal theory.

This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to:

Claims that may properly be brought in small claims court and remain on an individual basis;
Claims involving infringement, misuse, or violation of intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, or other proprietary rights;
Any claims that cannot legally be subject to arbitration under applicable law.

You acknowledge that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney before agreeing to this Arbitration Agreement.

Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact Gluesticks LLC at [email protected] and provide written notice describing:

Your name and contact information;
The nature of your claim;
The facts supporting your claim;
The specific relief requested.

You and Gluesticks LLC agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for thirty (30) days after receiving written notice before either party begins arbitration.

Arbitration Process

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS under its applicable arbitration rules.

The arbitration may be conducted remotely, through written submissions, or in person at a mutually agreed location.

If JAMS is unavailable to administer the arbitration, the parties will select an alternative arbitration provider.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement.

The arbitrator may award any relief available to an individual under applicable law.

The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

Individual Claims Only and Class Action Waiver

You and Gluesticks LLC agree that arbitration shall be conducted only on an individual basis.

You agree that you will not participate in or seek to recover monetary or other relief from any class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or representative action against Gluesticks LLC.

The arbitrator may not combine or consolidate the claims of multiple individuals unless both parties agree.

Waiver of Jury Trial

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Gluesticks LLC knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a trial by jury for claims covered by this Arbitration Agreement.

Covered disputes will instead be resolved through individual arbitration.

Federal Arbitration Act

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation, enforcement, and application of this Arbitration Agreement.

Severability

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Survival

This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of your use of the Website or any relationship between you and Gluesticks LLC.
