The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Cook County, Illinois and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois (without regard to conflict of law principles). You hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under the Agreement that you may have against Gold Coast Luxury™ or any of the Covered Parties, who are express third-party beneficiaries of the mandatory arbitration provision. Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise between you and Gold Coast Luxury™ and/or any Covered Party including, without limitation, any matter concerning the Site Offerings, the terms and conditions of the Agreement or the breach of same by any party hereto: (a) you agree to submit the dispute for resolution by arbitration before the JAMS, in accordance with the then current General Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS; provided, however, that Gold Coast Luxury™ reserves the right to require that any and all User claims be combined and conducted under the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines where there are twenty-five (25) or more arbitration demands pending against Gold Coast Luxury™ that are similar to the demand for arbitration submitted by you; and (b) you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an Initial Dispute Notice which can be found Here. We may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute Notice (“Final Settlement Offer”). If we provide you with a Final Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or we cannot otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute and you wish to proceed, you must: (i) provide Gold Coast Luxury™ with proof that you accessed the Site and provided consent to the Agreement; and, thereafter (ii) submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before JAMS, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration, which is made available on the JAMS website located here. For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our Final Settlement Offer, then we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, we will reimburse any reasonable attorneys’ fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Although we may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we will not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous.
To the extent permitted by law, and other than where Gold Coast Luxury™ requires same as set forth above, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit and/or class arbitration as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against any Covered Entity and/or Gold Coast Luxury™ (including its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns). You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a class action lawsuit and/or class arbitration, as applicable, or to remove you as a participant in the suit and/or class arbitration, as applicable. You agree to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that Gold Coast Luxury™ and/or any Covered Party incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits and/or class arbitrations: (A) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually, and not as a class action or class arbitration, in binding arbitration as provided above; and (B) is an independent agreement. You may opt-out of these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access the Site.
To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site Offerings is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the Agreement shall take precedence; provided, however, that with respect to: (a) Influencers, to the extent that anything in these Terms is inconsistent with the applicable Influencer Agreement, the Influencer Agreement shall take precedence; (b) Sponsors, to the extent that anything in these Terms is inconsistent with the applicable Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor Agreement shall take precedence; (c) Speakers, to the extent that anything in these Terms is inconsistent with the applicable Speaker Agreement, the Speaker Agreement shall take precedence; and (d) Users who obtain Travel Packages, to the extent that anything in these Terms is inconsistent with the applicable Booking Agreement, the Booking Agreement shall take precedence. Our failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. The parties do not intend that any agency or partnership relationship be created through operation of the Agreement. Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. Gold Coast Luxury™ may assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice to you. The Agreement, may not however, be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under it. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section.
