  1.  Arbitration 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT THROUGH ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLASS ACTIONS). AN ARBITRATOR DECIDES THE OUTCOME OF A DISPUTE BASED ON EVIDENCE AND LAW. ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING. THE OUTCOME OF AN ARBITRATION CAN BE ENFORCED LIKE A COURT ORDER AND IS SUBJECT TO ONLY VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.  

Binding Arbitration 

All claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration as set out in this Agreement except that you may take any such disputes or claims to a small claims court having proper jurisdiction if they qualify to be decided in that court. However, even for those claims that may be taken to small claims court, you and Edo both waive any claims for punitive damages and any right to pursue claims on a class action or representative basis. 

Arbitration Procedures 

You must first present any claims or disputes to us by contacting us at www.edojapan.com/contact-us/ > General Inquiry to allow us an opportunity to resolve the matter. You may commence an arbitration against Edo if your claims are not resolved within sixty (60) days after contacting us as set out above.  

The arbitration of any claims or disputes under this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the Arbitration Act (Alberta) as modified by this Agreement. Unless you and Edo agree otherwise in writing, the place of arbitration shall be Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and it will be conducted in the English language. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of a single arbitrator.  

An arbitrator appointed under this Agreement may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.  

Any arbitration under this Agreement shall be private and confidential. Neither you nor Edo may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award.  

Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. You and Edo agree not to appeal any arbitration decision or award made under this Agreement to any court. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be unenforceable, inapplicable or invalid, the remainder of this arbitration clause shall remain in force. 

Costs of Arbitration 

All administrative fees and expenses of an arbitration will be divided equally between you and Edo. In all arbitrations under this Agreement, each party will bear its own expenses, including but not limited to, the costs of its legal counsel, experts and witnesses. 

  1.  Waiver of Punitive Damage Claims and Class Actions 

By entering into this Agreement, both you and Edo are waiving certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If, for any reason, this arbitration clause is deemed unenforceable, inapplicable or invalid, you and Edo both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity. 

  1.  Limitation of Liability  

SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE EDO PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE ONLINE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIALS CONTAINED IN OR ACCESSED THROUGH THE ONLINE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IN RELATION TO MISTAKES, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, INTERRUPTIONS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR COMPUTER VIRUSES. YOU ACCEPT THAT ANY AND ALL ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND EXPENSE.  

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE THE EDO PARTIES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ONLINE SERVICES, OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER), THAT YOU NOW HAVE OR IN FUTURE MAY HAVE, EVEN IF EDO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR SUCH LOSSES WERE OTHERWISE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO CEASE USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES. 

  1.  Miscellaneous

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Edo related to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, and representations and warranties, both written and oral, related to the subject matter of this Agreement. 

Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law rule in any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.  

Waiver of Jury Trial. Both parties hereby waive their right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Severability and Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, without amendment. Edo’s failure to enforce, or delay in enforcing, any of the provisions of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any of Edo’s rights or privileges under this Agreement. 

Construction. The headings used in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and are not to be used to interpret, construe, define, or describe the scope of any aspect of this Agreement.
