Governing Law; Disputes; Arbitration Agreement
Should you wish to pursue your Claim after the Resolution Deadline, it shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in English in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this section. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. But if for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction or any arbitrator selected pursuant to this section holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts serving New York County, New York, provided that each party waives any right to a jury trial.
For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, you may bring such claim in the Small Claims Court of Los Angeles County Superior Court. All other claims will be subject to binding arbitration before the AAA in New York City, New York. You hereby consent to such exclusive venue and jurisdiction of the AAA and state and federal courts serving New York County, New York.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration panel shall consist of one arbitrator chosen in accordance with the rules of the AAA. Any such arbitrator shall be knowledgeable in the subject area in which the dispute arises. All discovery shall be completed within sixty (60) days following the appointment of the arbitrator. Each party shall be entitled to representation by counsel, to appear and present written and oral evidence and argument and to cross-examine witnesses presented by the other party, provided that, where appropriate, the arbitrator may receive testimony via telephone, video, or other electronic means of communication. The arbitration award shall be in writing. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties waive any right they may have to an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision and/or award. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce its rights hereunder shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable costs, including fees of the arbitrator and the AAA, incurred in the action or proceedings. In no event shall the arbitrator award punitive or exemplary damages. The parties waive any right they may have to an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision and/or award. Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information; (iv) for any claims of infringement or misappropriation of Boutique Life Inc.’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets; and (v) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Boutique Life Service or the Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the controlling language for these Terms of Service is English.
(viii) Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Boutique Life Inc..

28. General
The Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and BH and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and BH. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. The failure of BH to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Service remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Service, by operation of law or otherwise, without BH's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms of Service, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. BH may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and insure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
You agree that we are not responsible to you for anything that we may otherwise be responsible for, if it is the result of events beyond our control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, insurrection, riots, terrorism, crime, labor shortages (including lawful and unlawful strikes), embargoes, postal disruption, communication disruption, failure or shortage of infrastructure, shortage of materials, or any other event beyond our control.
29. Force Majeure
Subject to clause 26.2, neither party shall be liable to the other for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (save in respect of any obligation to pay any amounts due and payable) to the extent that such failure or delay arises due to reasons beyond such party's reasonable control, provided always that the affected party promptly notifies the other of the cause and likely duration of the failure or delay and takes all reasonable steps to overcome the failure or delay as soon as possible.
