DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

 

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION (INCLUDING SUBSECTIONS) CAREFULLY, AS IT INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND A JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND REQUIRES ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS.

 

THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE OR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ALO, LLC OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR RELATED COMPANIES (EACH, A “PARTY” AND, TOGETHER, THE “PARTIES”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, YOUR VISIT TO THE SITE, OR TO ANY PURCHASE, TRANSACTION, RETURN OR OTHER INTERACTION WITH ALO (INCLUDING DISPUTES RELATING TO ALO’S ADVERTISEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, EMAIL AND MOBILE SMS MESSAGES SENT BY ALO, OR ALO’S COLLECTION OR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION) (EACH, A “DISPUTE”), INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

 

• DISPUTES THAT AROSE BEFORE THESE TERMS OR ANY PRIOR VERSION OF THESE TERMS;
• DISPUTES THAT ARE OR WOULD OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO PRE-EXISTING PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LITIGATION FOR WHICH YOU MAY BE A PUTATIVE CLASS MEMBER; AND
• DISPUTES THAT MAY ARISE AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS.

 

THIS ENTIRE SECTION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS OR THE PARTIES’ RELATIONSHIP OR THE END OF YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

 

MANDATORY INFORMAL DISPUTE PROCESS FOR ALL DISPUTES

 

The Parties agree to engage in pre-suit/pre-arbitration discussions for a period of no less than sixty (60) days after commencement of the Informal Dispute Process (as defined below). During this sixty (60) day period, the Parties will communicate directly about any Dispute and attempt to resolve it without initiating either a lawsuit or arbitration (the “Informal Dispute Process”). Completion of this Informal Dispute Process and expiration of the sixty (60) day period shall be an express condition precedent to either Party commencing a lawsuit or filing and serving an Arbitration Demand in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement. You and ALO agree that any action commenced in court or arbitration without first exhausting the Informal Dispute Process shall be defective and subject to dismissal.

 

THE INFORMAL DISPUTE PROCESS SHALL COMMENCE UPON EITHER PARTY RECEIVING FROM THE OTHER A WRITTEN NOTICE (“NOTICE”), WHICH NOTICE MUST DESCRIBE THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISPUTE AND THE SPECIFIC RELIEF SOUGHT AND INCLUDE ANY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION. Your Notice must be personally signed by you and mailed via certified or registered mail with proof of receipt to us at ALO, LLC, Attention: Legal Department, 9830 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90212. You must also email a copy of the notice to legal@aloyoga.com. ALO’s notice to you must be sent to your last-used billing address or to the billing and/or shipping address in your online profile.

 

CLASS WAIVER; JURY TRIALWAIVER; VENUE

 

WHERE PERMISSIBLE, DISPUTES SHALL BE BROUGHT IN COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS

 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ALO AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, INCLUDING ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE A MEMBER OF ANY PUTATIVE OR ACTUAL CLASS IN A CLASS ACTION BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE AGAINST ALO, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR RELATED COMPANIES, NOR WILL YOU SEEK TO BECOME A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE. ADDITIONALLY, IN ANY ACTION YOU INITIATE AGAINST ALO, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR RELATED COMPANIES, ANY RELIEF YOU SEEK WILL BE CONFINED TO RELIEF ON YOUR OWN BEHALF.  

 

Together, the terms in the preceding paragraph shall be called and operate as the “Class Waiver.”

 

In jurisdictions where applicable law permits application of the Class Waiver to Disputes brought in court, Disputes must be brought in court, and only on an individual basis in accordance with the Class Waiver. For any Disputes brought in court, the Parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any state or federal court in the State of California. To the extent permissible under applicable law, any such cases shall be decided by a judge and not a jury; the Parties mutually waive their right to have their Dispute decided by a jury.

 

Disputes regarding the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Class Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

 

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

 

In jurisdictions where applicable law prohibits the Class Waiver from applying to a Dispute to the extent it is brought in Court, DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT.

 

THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT. BY CONSENTING TO ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES DO NOT LIMIT IN ANY WAY EITHER PARTY’S STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW RIGHTS OR POTENTIAL REMEDIES TO WHICH EITHER PARTY WOULD BE ENTITLED WERE A DISPUTE BEING HEARD IN A COURT.

 

Any arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) and governed by NAM’s applicable rules (including the Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or the Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable) (“NAM Rules”), as modified by these Terms. You may obtain a form to initiate arbitration as set forth in the NAM Rules available online at www.NAMADR.com, by emailing NAM at commercial@namadr.com, or by written request to legal@aloyoga.com; this form must be personally signed by the Party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). The Parties agree that any counsel representing a Party in arbitration must comply with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), and that the arbitrator may impose any sanctions against all appropriate represented Parties and counsel if he or she determines a Dispute is frivolous.

 

The arbitration shall occur through the submission of documents to one (1) arbitrator. If the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary, the hearing shall be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference. If the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will take place in the United States county where you live or work or such other location agreed upon by both Parties. Pursuant to the NAM Rules, the Parties will endeavor to mutually select an arbitrator after commencement of the action.

 

If the Parties cannot submit a joint pre-hearing and hearing schedule, each Party will submit their own schedule to NAM. If only one (1) schedule is submitted, that schedule will be delivered to the arbitrator for his or her consideration. The arbitrator may adopt the schedule submitted by one (1) Party in the absence of a competing or joint schedule.

 

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the NAM Rules and applicable fee sheet, as determined by NAM. All issues relating in any way to arbitration—including the applicability, scope, and enforceability of the arbitration provisions of these Terms—are for the arbitrator to decide. The arbitrator may consider but shall not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations involving different customers. At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s decision on all procedural and substantive issues is binding only between the Parties and will not have any preclusive effect in another arbitration or proceeding that involves a different party. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court.

 

The Parties shall each be limited to a maximum of one (1) fact witness deposition per side, unless the Parties agree otherwise or the arbitrator determines that more depositions are warranted based on the totality of circumstances (including the amount in controversy, the complexity of the factual issues, the number of parties and the diversity of their interests, and whether any or all of the Disputes appear, on the basis of the pleadings, to have sufficient merit to justify the time and expense associated with the requested discovery). Document requests shall be limited to documents that are directly relevant to the matter(s) in dispute or to its outcome; shall be reasonably restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; shall not include broad phraseology such as “all documents directly or indirectly related to”; and shall not be encumbered with extensive “definitions” or “instructions.” The arbitrator may edit or limit the number of document requests based on the totality of circumstances, including the factors listed above.

 

The arbitrator shall determine in accordance with the applicable rules, without limitation, all issues regarding filing fees, form of pleadings, procedures for payment, criteria for any Arbitration Demand, Answer and other claim, locale, seat, arbitrator selection and disclosures, exchange of information, and presentation of evidence. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this entire Arbitration Agreement and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the assessment of arbitration fees.

 

Confidentiality: The Parties agree that confidential information of either Party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) shall not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce or vacate the arbitration award, and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal to the furthest extent permitted by law.

 

Settlement Offers: Either Party may invoke the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998.

 

Opt-Out: Within thirty (30) days of agreeing to these Terms, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by providing your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out by sending ALO an email to legal@aloyoga.com. Such email must be sent by you personally, and not by your agent, attorney, or anyone else purporting to act on your behalf. The opt-out notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of our Site. Individuals who timely opt out can bring their Disputes in court but are still subject to the Class Waiver.

 

Exceptions: Notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement to resolve Disputes through arbitration (i) either Party may seek relief in a small claims court for Disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (ii) either Party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights or confidential information. The route to small claims court shall only be the result of a direct filing by a Party. As set forth above, a Dispute commenced in arbitration may not be secondarily directed to small claims court per otherwise applicable rules. Any institution of any action for injunctive relief will not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of the claiming Party to submit any claim seeking relief other than injunctive relief to arbitration.

 

Special Procedures for Mass Filings

To the extent an arbitration falls within NAM’s definition of a mass filing, the Parties agree to the procedures set forth below and in NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (“NAM’s Mass Filing Rules,” available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms). Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled beginning when the Informal Dispute Process is initiated, until the Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration.

 

Counsel for each side shall select ten (10) Disputes (twenty (20) Disputes total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a staged process. Each of these individual arbitrations shall be assigned to a different, single arbitrator unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing. No administrative fees will be assessed in connection with any remaining Disputes, unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. After this initial set of staged proceedings is completed, the Parties shall promptly engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a retired federal or state court judge, unless the Parties agree otherwise.

 

If the remaining Disputes are not resolved at this time, counsel for the Parties shall each select an additional ten (10) Disputes per side (twenty (20) Disputes total) to be filed and to proceed in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process, subject to any procedural changes the Parties agreed to in writing. This process shall continue, consistent with this staged process set forth above in this subsection, by administering and moving forward a maximum of twenty (20) individual arbitration proceedings at a time until the Parties are able to resolve all of the Disputes, either through settlement or arbitration.

 

A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce this entire Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement section and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing, prosecution, or administration of arbitrations and the allocation of arbitration fees. If these additional procedures apply to your Dispute, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that they are not enforceable as to your Dispute, then your Dispute shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of these Terms.

 

TIME LIMITS

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY DISPUTE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, THAT CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. For purposes of this provision, a Dispute is considered commenced at the time the Notice (defined above) is sent. To the extent a Dispute is filed in court or arbitration without first providing such Notice (which would be contrary to these Terms, as set forth above), the Dispute is deemed commenced at the time of such filing.

Please be advised that to be effective, the Notice must include ALL of the following:

• a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• identification of the copyright work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

• information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party;
• a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and

• identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
• statement from you under the penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

ALO ACCESS PROGRAM

 

There are three tiers of membership in the Program: VIP, A-list and All Access.  Achieving A-List or All Access status requires a minimum number of points within a 12-month period.  Benefits vary by tier. Note that for qualifying purchases made in currencies other than US Dollars, points accrue in the US Dollar equivalent as of the date of purchase.

 

VIP (0-299 points = 0-299 US Dollars)

 

All members are automatically VIP upon enrollment in the Program.  A member will remain a VIP unless and until the points required to reach A-list or All-Access status is met.

 

A-List (300-999 points = 300-999 US Dollars)

 

A-List status is for Alo Access members who have a minimum of 300 points (equivalent to 300 US Dollars spent on merchandise) within a 12-month period.  A-List status is effective from the date it is earned for a 12-month period.  If a member does not requalify for A-List status during such 12-month period, and does not qualify for All Access status, the member will revert to VIP status.

 

All Access (1000 points = 1000 US Dollars+)

 

All Access status is for Alo Access members who have a minimum of 1000 points (equivalent to 1000 US Dollars spent on merchandise) within a 12-month period.  All Access status is effective from the date it is earned for a 12-month period.  If a member does not requalify for All Access status during such 12-month period and does not qualify for A-List status, the member will revert to VIP status.

 

ALO ACCESS POINTS

 

 

The Program allows you to earn points (“Points”) for purchases made on our website and in our retail stores located in the United States of America (and stay tuned for the inclusion of purchases made in our international retail stores). You can use these Points to earn discounts off purchases and other rewards (collectively, “Rewards”) as specified by Alo. Earning Points and Rewards are subject to the following conditions:

• To qualify for Alo Access Points, you must register for an Alo Access account. Customers who already have an Alo account will automatically have an Alo Access account.
• Points cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
• Purchases made using guest checkout will not add Points to your Alo Access account, please ensure you are signed in to earn your points for every purchase. Alo cannot add on Points post purchase.
• Points earned for purchases and referrals are pending, and will be approved within 7 days following any applicable purchase or referral. Any Points accrued from purchases that are later returned will be automatically removed from your account.
• Points are accumulated via purchases on the aloyoga.com website and at our United States retail stores, and accrue at a value of 1 point per 1 US Dollar (or equivalent as of the date of purchase with respect to applicable international currencies)spent. To earn points in connection with a retail store purchase, you will need to provide the email associated with your Alo Access account.

• Any unredeemed points will expire at 11:59pm Pacific time on December 28 of the next calendar year regardless of activity. For example, points earned during 2023 will expire at 11:59pm Pacific time on December 28, 2024. Points earned on December 29-31 of each year will be treated as if they were earned in the next year for expiration purposes.

• Points will serve to qualify you for the Program tiers listed above, but are not otherwise redeemable.
• Points may not be exchanged for cash.
• Purchases of gift cards, and purchases made using gift cards do not qualify for Points. The Program does not apply to activity or purchases made in connection with the Alo Moves platform.
• You can only earn points for purchases made after the date your account became eligible to participate in the Alo Access program, unless otherwise stipulated by Alo.
• Points are only earned on the applicable retail price paid for products you have purchased. Additional costs such as shipping and handling charges, processing fees, and VAT or sales tax are not included when calculating your earned Points.
• Points may not be redeemed to cover costs beyond the applicable retail price of a product, such as shipping and handling charges, processing fees, or sales tax.
• Alo may transfer, cancel, withdraw or alter Points at any time, including these Access Terms and any Alo Access account, without notice.
