17        MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATION / WAIVER OF JURY

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and Penhaligon’s agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Except where prohibited, you and we agree to submit to the personal and exclusive arbitration of disputes relating to these terms and your purchases (if any) under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.

Any arbitration between you and us, to the extent necessary, will be conducted in New York, New York, and you waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum. You agree not to sue us or bring arbitration in any other forum.  The arbitration will be conducted in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Both you and we agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens for everyone involved:

  • The arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration;
  • The arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and
  • Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing and will include a statement describing the reasons for the disposition of any claim.

You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any dispute with us arising out of or relating to your use of the Services:

  • You are giving up your right to have a trial by jury;
  • You are giving up your right to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit involving any such dispute; and
  • You must file any claim within one (1) year after such claim arose or it is forever barred.

If this arbitration provision is found to be null and void, then all disputes arising under the Terms between us will be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York, and you and we hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Penhaligon’s from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award, from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or Penhaligon’s from (i) applying to the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary, or (ii) seeking relief in any state or federal court for disputes related to a violation or possible violation of Penhaligon’s intellectual property rights.  In the event of any litigation or arbitration arising from or related to these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable costs incurred including staff time, court costs, attorneys’ fees, and all other related expenses incurred in such litigation or arbitration.

18        ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
 

Penhaligon’s Limited is committed to providing a Website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, that are promulgated by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) through a process of cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world with the goal of developing a shared standard for Web content accessibility. 

Although the WCAG guidelines cover a wide range of issues, they are not able to address the needs of people with all types, degrees, and combinations of disability. We are constantly working to ensure that our content is readily accessible to as many visitors as possible and, as part of an ongoing accessibility initiative, we are using the Siteimprove Intelligence Platform to help identify and prioritize accessibility issues on our Website. 

If you experience any difficulty in accessing any part of this website, please contact us by emailing [email protected] so that we can evaluate and work to improve the webpage or navigation area where you encountered an accessibility issue.

Interactive services. We may from time to time provide interactive services ('interactive services') on our site, including, without limitation:

  • Bulletin boards; and
  • Rating and Reviews pages,

Where we do provide any interactive service, we will provide clear information to you about the kind of service offered, if it is moderated and what form of moderation is used (including whether it is human or technical).

We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks. However, we are under no obligation to oversee, monitor or moderate any interactive service we provide on our site, and we expressly exclude our liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of any interactive service by a user in contravention of our content standards, whether the service is moderated or not.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use an interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not foolproof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Where we do moderate an interactive service, we will normally provide you with a means of contacting the moderator, should a concern or difficulty arise.
