Before starting arbitration or a court proceeding, the party raising the dispute must first send written notice describing the dispute, the facts supporting it, and the relief requested.
Notices to ORWO must be sent to:
ORWO Photolab GmbHORWO may send notices to you using the email address, mobile number or other contact details you provided.
The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may start arbitration or another permitted proceeding under these Terms.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or this website are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the arbitration agreement below is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer protection rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
Please read this section carefully. It requires most disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration instead of in court.
You and ORWO agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, this website, the signup form, email or SMS communications, or your relationship with ORWO in connection with this website, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, except as stated below.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, unless the parties agree otherwise or the selected arbitration provider is unavailable. If the American Arbitration Association is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties will try in good faith to agree on a substitute arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint a substitute arbitration provider or arbitrator.
The arbitrator will have authority to grant the same remedies that would be available in court, subject to these Terms.
For consumer disputes, ORWO will pay arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation to the extent required by the American Arbitration Association Consumer Arbitration Rules, the American Arbitration Association Consumer Due Process Protocol, or applicable law. Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to pay fees or costs that would make arbitration unavailable or materially more expensive than court.
The arbitration may be conducted by video conference, telephone, written submissions or another remote method. If an in-person hearing is required, the location will be determined under the applicable arbitration rules and applicable law.
The arbitrator, and not a court, will decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement, except that a court will decide any issue concerning the validity or enforceability of the class action waiver below.
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies.
Either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, website security, or unauthorized use of the website, without first engaging in arbitration.
You and ORWO agree that each party may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis.
You and ORWO waive any right to bring, participate in, maintain or receive relief from any class action, collective action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of different persons and may not preside over any form of class, collective or representative proceeding.
If this class action waiver is found to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief must be brought in court and not in arbitration, but the remainder of this arbitration agreement will continue to apply to any arbitrable claims.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and ORWO waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
For changes that materially affect the signup form, marketing consent, SMS consent, arbitration agreement or class action waiver, we may require renewed acceptance where appropriate.
Your continued use of the website after updated Terms are posted means that you accept the updated Terms, unless renewed acceptance is required by applicable law or by the website functionality.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, except as otherwise stated in the class action waiver section.
