11-2 Tokyo Dispute Proceedings.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan. All controversies and disputes (including, without limitation, any disputes regarding non-contractual obligations) arising out of or relating to the Service shall be submitted to the Tokyo District Court in Tokyo, Japan as the court of exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance.
11-3 Binding Arbitration.
If either a Customer or AnimeJapan elects in writing, or if a court deems the choice of law and jurisdiction clause in Section 11.2 unenforceable, then these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, and any disputes arising out of or relating to the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 11.3. The arbitration shall take place in the state in the United States where the Customer was a resident when the dispute arose, or other location mutually agreed by the parties.
11-3-1 The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (referred to as the “AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement to Arbitrate evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Agreement to Arbitrate or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Delaware. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send the other party, by certified mail, a completed Notice of Dispute. Customer should send this notice to AnimeJapan at AnimeJapan Organization (Midtown Tower, 9-7-1, Akasaka, Minato-ku, 107-6214 Tokyo, Japan). AnimeJapan will send any notice to Customer to the address AnimeJapan has on file associated with Customer. It is Customer’s responsibility to keep Customer’s address up to date. All information called for in the notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought.
11-3-2 If Customer and AnimeJapan are unable to resolve the claims described in the notice within 30 days after the notice is sent, Customer or AnimeJapan may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. Unless both Customer and AnimeJapan agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, collective or class proceeding.
11-3-3 If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, Customer or AnimeJapan may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on Customer and AnimeJapan subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, Customer or AnimeJapan may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator(s) require otherwise. Any settlement offer made by Customer or AnimeJapan shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator(s).
11-3-4 The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different customers of AnimeJapan but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Customer to the extent required by applicable law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator(s) may aware relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other AnimeJapan customers.
11-3-5 Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at Customer’s request, AnimeJapan will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by AnimeJapan should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with Customer’s Demand for Arbitration and AnimeJapan will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and Customer is able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, AnimeJapan will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator(s) deem necessary to prevent the cost of accessing the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator(s) determine the claim(s) Customer asserts in the arbitration to be frivolous, Customer agrees to reimburse AnimeJapan for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by AnimeJapan on Customer’s behalf that Customer otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
11-3-6 If a court decides that any part of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 11.3 is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of Section 11.3 shall still apply.
12. Miscellaneous
12-1 Any information, notice or communication from AnimeJapan to Customers regarding the Service shall be made by posting on the website of the Service or any other method as AnimeJapan deems appropriate. If the Customer provides an email address, Customer shall be deemed to have consented to receiving information, notices and communications at that email address, and such electronic delivery will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. AnimeJapan shall not be liable for any damages or other consequences of non-delivery or delay of such information, notice or communication, except where such damages or consequences are attributable to AnimeJapan.
12-2 If any portion of these Terms is deemed invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such portion shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining portion.
12-3 The Customer agrees that the Original Right Holder and Sony Music Solutions Inc., which has been entrusted by and operates the Service on behalf of AnimeJapan, shall be treated as the third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may directly exercise the relevant rights or invoke the waiver of liability under these Terms, including but not limited to Articles 5, 7, 11 and 12.
12-4 These Terms may be translated into the language of other countries or regions in the Service area. If there is any inconsistency in the meaning or wording between the English version and the translated version, the English version shall prevail.
12-5 Customers who are residents of California, United States, and require consumer assistance may contact AnimeJapan in writing at AnimeJapan Organization (Midtown Tower, 9-7-1, Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan) or by telephone at +81-3-4463-8249 California resident Customers may also contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at 916-445-1254 or 800-952-5210.
