11. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. Using or accessing the Site constitutes your acceptance of this Arbitration provision. Please read it carefully as it provides that you and DippinDotty will waive any right to file a lawsuit in court or participate in a class action for matters within the terms of the below arbitration provision.

a. Informal Dispute Resolution. As an initial matter, in an effort to avoid the high stress and important cost associated with legal disputes, both you and DippinDotty agree that any controversy, claim, action, or dispute in any way related to your use of the Site, any purchase from DippinDotty, or to any products or services sold or distributed by DippinDotty ("Dispute") will be resolved by this dispute resolution procedure and Arbitration Agreement below. Either party asserting the Dispute shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party (by first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to DippinDotty at: DippinDotty Legal Department, [Address], Attn: General Counsel, or to you at: your last shipping address and/or the last address you have otherwise provided to us. Both you and DippinDotty agree that this informal dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.

b. Arbitration Agreement. To the extent you cannot resolve any Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure described above, a Dispute shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration as described in this section. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND DIPPINDOTTY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT DIPPINDOTTY AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the "JAMS Rules") and as modified by this agreement to arbitrate. The JAMS Rules, including instructions for bringing arbitration, are available on the JAMS website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. The Minimum Standards are available at http://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-arbitration. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

C. Right to Bring Small Claims in Court. Instead of arbitration, either you or DippinDotty may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.

13. Applicable Law.

These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of law provisions. The waiver of any provision of these Terms shall not be considered a waiver of any other provision or of our right to require strict observance of each of the terms herein. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, that provision shall be severable, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement; Waiver and Survival.

You confirm that, in agreeing to accept the Terms, you have not relied on any representation except as expressly set forth in these Terms and you agree that you shall have no remedy in respect of any such representation not included in these Terms.

Intellectual Property Compliance & Reporting Procedure

DippinDotty respects the intellectual property rights of others and mandates similar respect from its suppliers, vendors, manufacturers, employees, contractors, and other business associates. Our commitment to honoring IP rights forms the foundation of our business relationships.

Our Stance:

We have a non-negotiable stance against infringement, ensuring all products on our site respect the IP rights of others. This applies to:

1. DippinDotty Owned Brands: Items created, designed, made, or owned by us. We have instituted rigorous compliance protocols to maintain the authenticity of these products.
2. Third Party Brands: Products or content from external brands or designers that are available on our Site. Before working with us, these brands pledge to respect intellectual property rights of other as a condition of collaborating with us. These brands pledge their respect for IP rights before collaborating with us. Non-compliance results in a breach of their contract with DippinDotty.
3. User Generated Content (as defined in Section 7 of the Terms): While we may from time to time offer a platform for such content, on our Website, mobile App, and related social media accounts, we expect all User Generated to adhere to and respect intellectual property rights.

While we diligently strive to ensure our content and products don't infringe on any third-party IP rights, we're aware that no system is infallible. To address potential oversights, we've set up a reporting mechanism for intellectual property rights owners to notify us of legitimate infringement concerns.

If you believe that a Content on the Site (including our mobile App, and related social media platforms exclusively controlled and operated by us), infringes any intellectual property that you own or control, please provide DippinDotty’s designated agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512 ("DMCA"):

• 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 copyrighted and/or trademarked work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that website.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled on the Platform, and information reasonably sufficient to permit DippinDotty to locate the material.
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit DippinDotty to contact you as the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright and/or trademark owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note, that for copyright infringements under Section 512(f) of the U.S. Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.
