GOVERNING LAW
Your use of the Services shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the state of California, U.S.A. and the AAA Rules as modified herein, without regard to choice of law provisions. You and Voilà Montessori agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms of Use. You agree that any cause of action that you may desire to bring arising out of or related to these Terms of Use and/or the Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Voilà Montessori is committed to resolving all disputes in a fair, effective and cost-efficient manner. We seek to resolve any customer concerns. However, if you are dissatisfied with our customer service’s resolution of your matter, these Terms of Use provide that disputes will be resolved in binding arbitration or small claims court. Our arbitration agreement, which is set forth below, has been designed to make arbitration as convenient and inexpensive for our customers as possible. We will abide by the terms of our current arbitration provision in all instances.
If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Voilà Montessori and you are an individual, you may opt out of the below arbitration agreement by sending a mail at :
Voilà Montessori, Allée de Saylat – BP 70040 Estillac ZAC Agropole 47901 Agen Cedex 9 within thirty (30) days of the date you access or use the Services.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT:
(a) We and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted and include:
• Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory.
• Claims that arose before these or any prior versions of our Terms of Use (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
• Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
• Claims that may arise after termination of these Terms of Use.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “Voilà Montessori”, “we” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms of Use or any prior agreements between us.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. Further, this arbitration agreement does not govern any claim by Voilà Montessori for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms of Use.
(b) CLASS ACTION WAIVER: Any claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). You and Voilà Montessori expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If a claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. You and Voilà Montessori understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Voilà Montessori each waive any right to a jury trial.
(c) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to Voilà Montessori should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, Voilà Montessori, Allée de Saylat – BP 70040 Estillac ZAC Agropole 47901 Agen Cedex 9 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received by us, you or Voilà Montessori may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Voilà Montessori or you prior to selection of an arbitrator shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Voilà Montessori is entitled.
(d) The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall be bound by these Terms of Use. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your contact address. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, by a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If you choose to proceed either in person or by telephone, we may choose to respond only by telephone or submission. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine whether you have a right to a hearing.
Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based. You and we agree that any awards or findings of fact or conclusions of law made in an arbitration of their dispute or claim are made only for the purposes of that arbitration and may not be used by any other person or entity in any later arbitration of any dispute or claim involving Voilà Montessori. You and we agree that in any arbitration of a dispute or claim, neither of us will rely for preclusive effect on any award or finding of fact or conclusion of law made in any other arbitration of any dispute or claim to which we were a party.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, we will pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with the notice requirements above. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $75,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules. An award may be entered against a party who fails to appear at a duly noticed hearing.
(e) The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, and the parties agree that any injunctive award may be vacated or corrected on appeal by either party to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. Each party will bear its own costs and fees on any such appeal. The arbitrator shall not award relief in excess of what these Terms of Use provide or award punitive damages or any other damages not measured by actual damages.

Voilà Montessori may terminate these Terms of Use at any time immediately and without notice, and accordingly deny you access to the Services, for any reason in its sole discretion; however, the provisions in these Terms of Use that relate to intellectual property, indemnification, disclaimer, limitation of liability, and choice of law shall survive any termination of these Terms of Use.
