Dispute Resolution

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. 

THIS SECTION PROVIDES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE SPECIFIC EXCEPTION STATED BELOW, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND MOVING TRADITIONS MUST BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION THAT REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY, AND MAY LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL.

You will bring any claim, dispute, or controversy against Moving Traditions arising from these Terms of Use or your use of the Site or any information you receive from us (each a “Claim”) only through mandatory, binding arbitration as provided in this paragraph. All Claims, other than injunctive relief, are subject to arbitration, no matter what theory they are based on or what remedy they seek. The arbitration will be conducted as an individual arbitration.
