  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: BINDING ARBITRATION; NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS.
  • This Section 7 shall apply only if you reside in the United States of America. This Section 7 shall be of no force or effect if you do not reside in the United States of America.
  • You and DHM shall arbitrate any and all Disputes, as follows:
    1. “Dispute” as used in this Section 7 means any dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms, any amendments or addenda to these Terms, or the subject matter of these Terms, including but not limited to any contract, tort, statutory or equity claims that relate in any way to (1) these Terms, the Site, the Content or the User Content (collectively, the “Contract Subject Matter”), (2) the duplication, use, operation, licensing, distribution, sale, advertising, promotion, transmission, provision or marketing of any of the Contract Subject Matter, or (3) any claims, statements, promises, descriptions, representations or warranties made in connection with the Contract Subject Matter.
    2. This Section 7 shall apply to the resolution of Disputes. In the event of any Dispute, the parties are encouraged to attempt to resolve the Dispute by informal means.  If the parties are not able to do so, the Dispute will be resolved only by binding arbitration.
  • Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. Any Dispute between DHM and you will be subject to binding arbitration.
  1. DHM and you agree that there shall be no jury trial or right to a jury trial, or right to any other proceeding to resolve any Dispute in any court. In the event of any Dispute, both parties agree that these Terms will be governed, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-9 (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
  2. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties, and any party shall have the right to prevent any actual or threatened breach of this confidentiality provision by temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive or declaratory relief in an appropriate court of law.
  3. The parties expressly agree that any Dispute is personal to them, and any such Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons.  Neither party agrees that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.  The parties agree that a Dispute may only be resolved through an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. 
  • The arbitration of the Dispute will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, in the event the AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, by an arbitration forum or arbitrator that DHM and you shall mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, DHM and you are unable to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, the AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator.  The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or the appropriate rules of any alternative arbitration forum selected by DHM and you or appointed by a court, subject to the following modifications:
    1. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator who will be a licensed attorney or a former judge and will have at least 10 years of legal experience in the resolution of commercial disputes.
    2. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute. This does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms as stated above.  The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
    3. The parties may take discovery through interrogatories, depositions and requests for production that the arbitrator determines to be necessary, with the caveat that each party shall have the right to take the deposition of at least one person for at least one day.
    4. In making any award, the arbitrator will be restricted by the Limitation of Liability provisions in these Terms (Section 6), and will not have jurisdiction to make an award to any party to the arbitration contrary to the Limitation of Liability provisions; provided however that if the enforceability of any of these restrictions is limited by the applicable substantive law or by the AAA rules, that restriction will only be enforced to the extent permitted by such law or rules.
    5. The prevailing party in any of the following matters (without regard to the Limitation of Liability provisions) will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred: (i) a motion which any party is required to make in the courts to compel arbitration of a Dispute; (ii) any appeal of an arbitration award, whether to the arbitrator or the courts, for the purpose of vacating or modifying the award; or (iii) any action to enforce the confidentiality provisions stated in this Section 7.
    6. DHM will pay the amount of any arbitration costs and fees charged by the AAA, subject to the right of DHM to request that the arbitrator allocate the ultimate responsibility for that fee in a fair and reasonable manner. Unless the arbitrator finds that you are economically unable to pay a share of the arbitrator’s fee or that it is otherwise inappropriate for you to do so, the arbitrator ultimately may decide that you are responsible for some portion of that fee in the arbitrator’s discretion.
  • The AAA rules are available from the AAA, which can be contacted by mail at 1633 Broadway, Floor 10, New York, New York 10019, by telephone at (800) 778-7879, or through its website at adr.org.
  1. GOVERNING LAW

If you reside in the United States of America, then, with the exception of the provision above that the enforceability of Section 7 is governed both procedurally and substantively by the FAA to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms otherwise will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which you reside and of the United States of America.  If you do not reside in the United States of America, these Terms will be governed by the laws of South Africa.

   9. MISCELLANEOUS

  • If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts of these Terms shall be unimpaired and remain in full force and effect. Further, if any part of these Terms is partially valid and enforceable and partially invalid or unenforceable, the valid and enforceable part shall be enforced to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if for any reason any exclusive right or license granted hereunder is not valid or enforceable but a nonexclusive right or license of the same scope (other than with respect to exclusivity) would have been enforceable, than such right or license shall be fully valid and enforceable, with the exception only of any exclusivity with respect thereto that is not valid and enforceable under applicable law.
  • Notices and other communications from DHM to you may be made by electronic means, including, without limitation, by posting on the homepage of the Site or by email.
  • These Terms constitute the entire agreement between DHM and you with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications relating to the subject matter hereof.
  • Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to confer upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their respective assigns or other successors in interest a right of action either under these Terms or in any manner whatsoever.
