(“JAMS”) RULES FOR ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES, AND YOU AND WE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT WE OR YOU MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO GRANT IT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. DISCOVERY AND RIGHTS TO APPEAL IN ARBITRATION ARE GENERALLY MORE LIMITED THAN IN A LAWSUIT, AND OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
20.2 Small Claims Court; Class Action Waiver
As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules and if such claim is within such court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor we will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if we are a party to the proceeding.
20.3 Procedures
These dispute resolution provisions will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not by any state law concerning arbitration. In the event that JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then either we or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the American Arbitration Association. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Services or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned.
20.4 30-Day Opt-Out Period
If you do not wish to be bound by the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions in this Disputes section, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first accept these Terms of Service (unless a longer period is required by applicable law), and then you must litigate any disputes against us in accordance with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below. Your written notification must be mailed to us at the address set out at the end of these Terms of Service. If you do not notify us in accordance with this paragraph, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Disputes section, including, without limitation, the arbitration and class-action waiver provisions, and further including, without limitation, such provisions in any revisions we make to these Terms of Service after the date of your first acceptance. Such notification must include: (i) your name; (ii) your email address and mailing address; and (iii) a statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration or waive your ability to participate in a class action. If we make any changes to this Disputes section (other than a change to the address at which we will receive notices or rejections of future changes to this Disputes section), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice, within thirty (30) days of the change, to the address set out at the end of these Terms of Service. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to this Disputes section if you had properly opted out within the first thirty (30) days after you first accepted the provisions in this Disputes section. If you have not properly opted out, then by rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Disputes section, as modified by any changes you did not reject. A notification sent pursuant to this paragraph solely affects these Terms of Service; if you previously entered into other arbitration or dispute resolution agreements with us or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the provisions in this Disputes section shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and us.
20.5 Severability
If any of the prohibitions against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Disputes section will be null and void. This Disputes section, including, without limitation, the arbitration agreement and class action waivers contained herein, will survive the termination of your relationship with us.
21. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Service, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including, without limitation, non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). You agree that the Services and all websites provided by or on behalf of Folksmedia do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Folksmedia, either specific or general, in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Subject to Section 20, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in New York City. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
22. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Folksmedia of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Service shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Folksmedia to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. With the except of the provisions of the Disputes section as contemplated in Section 20.5, if any provision of these Terms of Service is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.

The Services also provide access to an online third-party product marketplace (the “Folksmedia Marketplace”). The Terms of Service also govern your use of and any purchases that you make through the Folksmedia Marketplace.
Folksmedia provides the Folksmedia Marketplace to allow you to review offers and to purchase products and services (“Products”) directly from participating third-party retailers (“Retailers”). When you make a purchase through the Folksmedia Marketplace, you are purchasing the Product from a Retailer and not from Folksmedia. In selecting a Product for purchase, you may be directed to a third-party website of the Retailer and will be subject to the terms of use for the Retailer’s website. We are not the merchant of record, and the actual contract for sale is directly between you and the Retailer. When you submit an order for a Product through the Folksmedia Marketplace, you are entering into a binding agreement to purchase the Product directly from the Retailer through our third-party payment processors. You agree that Folksmedia is not an agent for you or for any Retailer and has no authority to act on your or on a Retailer’s behalf.

Folksmedia does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, product and content of all these Retailers and any other third parties. You should carefully review their privacy statements, selling policies and other conditions of use.

Folksmedia will not change or cancel any order made by you, including, without limitation, any change to delivery address or billing information. You will need to contact the Retailer for any changes or cancellations that you wish to make to your order or to process any returns. The Retailer’s contact information may be found in the email sent to you confirming your order.
For customer service for orders placed through Folksmedia partners, you can email us at orders@folksmedia.com or by using the facility available in our mobile applications which will be handled as per our partners’ stated policy about returns, warranty claims, cancellations, repairs, replacements, etc.
