We may update these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other communications deemed appropriate by us. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, UNLESS YOU OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN 30 DAYS OR THE DISPUTE IS EXCLUDED FROM ARBITRATION, AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION BELOW.

International Orders

Customers who access and use the ShenYun Dancer.com website from outside the United States are responsible for complying with their local laws and regulations. When you place an order and select a shipping address outside of the United States you or your designated consignee are the Importer of Record and as such are authorizing Shen Yun Dancer to import the goods to your destination country on your behalf. Furthermore, you agree that Shen Yun Dancer may delegate the obligation to import the goods on your behalf to a subcontractor (e.g. customs broker). When indicated on the website, Shen Yun Dancer through its own or third party software tools will make its best effort to calculate and collect the applicable duties and taxes and any other additional fees up front, either at Checkout or included in the product price, but ultimately you or your designated consignee as Importer of Record are responsible to pay the applicable duties & taxes and any other import fees to your local customs authorities.

THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN Shen Yun Dancer AND YOU.

 

Dispute Resolution

Our goal is to provide you with great service, so we’ll try our best to resolve any disagreements that you have with us. If we can’t, then you and we both agree to resolve disputes related to your use of the Services or these Terms (each, a “Claim”) in binding arbitration instead of court, except that (a) a Claim may be brought in small claims court if it qualifies for it and (b) either party may bring suit in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

 

• What is arbitration? Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral person (the “arbitrator”) hears each party’s side of the dispute, and makes a decision that is finally binding on both parties. The arbitrator can award the same relief as a court could award, including monetary damages. While court review of an arbitration award is limited, if a party fails to comply with the arbitrator’s decision, then the other party can have the arbitration decision enforced by a court. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

 

• Can a Claim be part of a class action or similar proceeding? No. You agree to resolve your Claims with us solely on an individual basis, and not as part of a class, representative or consolidated action. We agree to do the same. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section will be null and void.

 

• What rules apply in the arbitration? The arbitration will be conducted under the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

 

• How will the arbitration be conducted? How much does it cost? The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA or a comparable arbitration body in the event the AAA is unable to conduct the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

• How do I start an arbitration proceeding? To begin an arbitration proceeding against us, you must first send a written notice of your claim (the “Notice of Claim”) requesting arbitration and describing (a) the nature and basis of your Claim, (b) the specific amount of damages or other relief sought, and (c) whether you reject any subsequent modification of the Dispute Resolution section by us, to support@ShenYunDancer.com.. The Notice of Claim should include both your mailing and email addresses that you would like us to use to contact you. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or street address you provided in connection with your Account.

 

• Modification of Dispute Resolution Section. If we change this Dispute Resolution section after the date you first accepted this Agreement, you may reject any such change by so stating within your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Dispute Resolution section in your Notice of Claim, you agree to resolve any Claim between you and Company in accordance with the terms of the Dispute Resolution section in effect as of the date of your Notice of Claim.

 

• INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPTING-OUT OF ARBITRATION: If you don’t want to agree to arbitrate your Claims as explained above, then you can opt-out of this arbitration agreement by notifying us of your decision in writing at support@ShenYunDancer.com. You must opt-out within 30 days of the date you first agree to these Terms or any updated Terms.

 

• Intellectual Property Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (an “IP Protection Action”). The exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in the Southern District of New York and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

 

Governing Law

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

General Terms

(a) Entire Agreement.

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Shen Yun Dancer and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Shen Yun Dancer and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms (other than is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the “Dispute Resolution” section above or by court of competent jurisdiction, but only if you timely opt out of arbitration by sending us an opt-out email in accordance with the terms set forth above), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Shen Yun Dancer’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Shen Yun Dancer may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Notices

Any notices or other communications provided by Shen Yun Dancer under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

(c) Waiver of Rights

Shen Yun Dancer’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Shen Yun Dancer. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
