8. 具拘束力的仲裁和集體訴訟抛棄

請仔細閱讀本條款—您同意透過具有約束力的個人仲裁解決您與迪士尼之間的所有爭議,並包括抛棄集體訴訟和抛棄陪審團審判。

台端和迪士尼同意通過以下提供的單一仲裁人之方式解決所有爭議(包括任何涉及華特迪士尼公司、其子公司或其關係企業之相關爭議),但不包括:(i)於小額法院的管轄內符合該管轄權範圍和可能適用的金額限制的任何索賠,只要其為個人爭議而非集體訴訟;和   (ii)  任何與智慧財產權所有權或強制執行有關的爭議。「爭議」包括您和迪士尼之間關於迪士尼產品或本協議的任何主張、爭議、訴訟或其他爭議,不論是基於過去、現在或將來事件,不論是基於合約、侵權行為、成文法或普通法,或解決與此等條款的解釋、適用性或可執行性有關或與本協議的形成有關的任何爭議的獨有權力,包括但不限於任何爭議的可仲裁性,以及本協議的全部或任何部分無效或可作無效的任何主張。

台端和迪士尼同意抛棄集體訴訟程序。

台端和迪士尼皆不會尋求以集體訴訟、私人檢察官訴訟或在任何一方以代理人身分行事或擬以代理人身分行事的任何其他程序中。您和本公司同意不尋求並明確拋棄任何提出集體訴訟之權利或尋求集體救濟。就適用的仲裁或程序,如未經各方事先書面同意,不得將一個仲裁或程序與另一個合併。如果集體訴訟或合併訴訟之拋棄被視為無效或不可執行,則您和本公司均無權進行仲裁;相反,所有爭議將在法院中解決。

A. 小額法院 — 根據適用的管轄權要求,台端或本公司可以選擇在當地的小額法院中處理爭議,而不是通過下列非正式爭議解決程序或仲裁進行,只要該事項件在小額法院中且僅以個人形式進行。 一方若已提交仲裁要求,另一方可自行決定是否通知仲裁庭並選擇在小額法院審理爭議, 屆時,仲裁庭將結束仲裁,爭議將在適格的小額法院進行審理,仲裁申請之相對人無需支付任何費用。

B. 非正式爭議解決機制 — 在發生爭議時,台端和迪士尼同意各方充分和公平的機會以 非正式方式處理和解決爭議,以試圖避免正式解決爭議的費用。除得在小額法院解決 之爭議或與智慧財產權所有權或執行有關的爭議外,索賠方應向另一方發送爭議通知,且該通知須為書面聲明,其中明列發出通知一方的名字、地址和聯絡資訊,及足以評估個人索賠的案情之詳細事實資訊,以及所尋求的具體救濟,包括所要求的任何金額以及計算索賠損失的方法。

台端必須將任何爭議通知發送至迪士尼, 地址為500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521-7620, USA,收件人:法律部。本公司將通過您提供的聯絡資訊向您發送所有的爭議通知,其中可能包括與您的迪士尼帳戶內相關的聯絡資訊(如適用)。自爭議通知發出之日起六十(60)天,您和迪士尼將嘗試通過非正式協商解決爭議。此非正式協商要求您親自出席或透過電話或視訊會議親自進行單獨會面和協商,此非正式協商只能解決您與迪士尼之間的爭議(「會議」)。如您有律師代表,您的律師可一同參與會議,但您本人也應參與其中。迪士尼將派出一名或多名代表參加會議,其中可能包括本公司的律師。在非正式協商期結束後的六十(60)天(而非之前),且僅在針對某項索賠的會議結束後,台端或本公司可就該索賠啟動仲裁程序。本段中的任何內容均無意禁止雙方在任何會議或向小額法院提出訴訟之前、期間或之後進行非正式溝通,以解決提告方的索賠。各方均同意,法院可頒布禁令救濟措施以執行本段規定的申請前要求,包括中止違反本段規定而啟動的仲裁的禁令。

C. 仲裁程序和規則 — 若台端和迪士尼未能通過非正式爭議解決機制或小額法院解決爭議,該爭議應通過具有拘束力的仲裁解決。《美國聯邦仲裁法案》(9 U.S.C. §§ 1- 16),包括其程序條款,而非州法,管轄本仲裁協議的解釋及執行。任何仲裁請求必須  提  交  予  ADR  Services,  Inc.  (  「  ADR  Services  」  )https://www.adrservices.com/)。若ADR Services 無法進行仲裁,則由National Arbitration and Mediation(「NAM」)(https://www.namadr.com/)進行仲裁。除非該等規定與本協議在某種程度上有衝突之處,仲裁庭的規定將管轄本仲裁的所有事項。仲裁將由一名單獨中立的仲裁員進行。仲裁可以通過親身、文件提交、電話或線上進行仲裁。無法通過文件提交、電話或線上進行的訴訟程序將在加利福尼亞州洛杉磯或紐約州紐約市曼哈頓行政區進行,以對您更方便的地點為準;但是,如果您能夠證明在洛杉磯或曼哈頓行政區進行仲裁將對您構成不當的負擔,仲裁員可以在您所在的居住地區親自開庭。台端和迪士尼同意接受加利福尼亞州洛杉磯或紐約州紐約市曼哈頓行政區(對您更方便的地點)的聯邦或州法院的專有司法管轄權,以便受理執行仲裁、中止仲裁程序、或確認、修改、撤銷或對仲裁員所做的裁決作出判決。仲裁員可以像法院一樣要求向任何一方單獨裁定損害賠償,包括宣告或禁令救濟,但僅限於滿足該方個別索賠所需的範圍。

D. 費用 — 如本公司對台端提起仲裁,本公司將支付與仲裁相關的所有費用,包括所有申請費用。如果您是提起仲裁的一方,您將負責支付 ADR Services NAM 要求之不可退還的初始申請費用和其他適用費用。ADR Services 規定了其服務的費用,其載於 https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/ NAM 允 許 任 何 人 在 https://www.namadr.com/info-request-form/?request_type=Standard_Fees_and_Costs 上查詢其服務收費資訊。如果仲裁員發現索賠的實質內容或所尋求的救濟違反了《聯邦民事訴訟規則》第 11 條的陳述要求,在法律允許的範圍內,仲裁員應具有同等權力來裁定符合該規則的制裁。

E. 和解提議和提供判决要約 — 在爭議仲裁開庭日期確定前至少十 (10) 個日曆天,台 端或我方可向另一方送達書面判決要約,以允許依特定條款作出判決。如果要約被接 受,要約和接受證明應提交予仲裁員,仲裁員應據此做出判決。若要約在仲裁開庭前或作出要約後三十(30)個日曆天內(以先到者為準)未被接受,則應視為撤回要約,不得在仲裁中作為證據。若一方提出的要約未被另一方接受,且另一方未能獲得更有利的裁決,則另一方不得收回其提出要約後的費用,而應支付提出要約方自提出要約時起的費用(包括向仲裁庭支付的所有費用)。

F. 仲裁協議的存續效力 – 本仲裁協議在台端終止與迪士尼的關係後繼續有效,包括您撤銷任何您曾授予本公司的同意或採取其他行動終止您與任何迪士尼產品的合作或使用或與本公司的任何通訊。

The period of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to you.

If you subscribed online, we will give you the option of cancelling the subscription online.

E. The Order Process. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address (if applicable), payment method and product details. We will send to you a notice when we accept your order and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for sale will be made and become binding on both you and us. The risk of loss in any goods you purchase and the responsibility to insure them passes to you when the relevant goods are delivered.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Some situations that may result in your order being cancelled include system or typographical errors, inaccuracies in product or pricing information or product availability, fairness among customers where supplies are limited, or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.

F. Payments and Billing. When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information. We reserve the right to utilize third party payment card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards and debit cards.

G. Right of Cancellation; Return of Goods. You may have the right to cancel an order placed for a Disney Product – depending on the nature of the Disney Product. Please read the following information carefully so you understand your right of cancellation.

If you wish to cancel, you must do so by following the cancellation instructions for the particular Disney Product. A sample cancellation form is available here.

i. Cancelling Subscriptions: Please see the information above on the process for cancelling subscriptions in our Subscriptions section, above.

ii. Digital Content: When you purchase a license to access digital content or virtual items, you will be given an opportunity to consent to delivery at the time of purchase. By consenting to delivery, you acknowledge that you have lost the right to cancel. License purchase fees paid for digital content are non-refundable unless otherwise indicated.

iii. Physical Goods: You have the right, within thirty (30) days from the date of your receipt of physical goods, to cancel our contract with you and return the goods. This right does not apply to goods stated by us on the Disney Products to be non-returnable, including but not limited to:

      • Any products with a seal, where the seal is broken, such as audio and video recordings, computer software, and CD’s, DVD’s or other physical media that have been supplied in sealed packaging; and
      • Personalized items.

iv. Personalized Goods: We reserve the right to refuse personalized orders at our discretion. Inappropriate use of our personalization service will cause your order to be cancelled and any payment refunded.

These cancellation rights are separate from and in addition to your rights should any item we supply be faulty.

If you are returning goods that are not faulty, you may be required to pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and we may deduct a reasonable amount if you used the goods.

8. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY—YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND DISNEY THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND INCLUDE A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

You and Disney agree to resolve, by binding individual arbitration as provided below, all Disputes (including any related disputes involving The Walt Disney Company, its subsidiaries, or its affiliates) except for: (i) any claim within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is an individual dispute and not a class action; and (ii) any dispute relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. “Dispute” includes any claim, dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or common law, between you and Disney concerning the Disney Products or this Agreement, or this exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the arbitrability of any dispute, and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.

YOU AND DISNEY AGREE TO WAIVE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES.

Neither you nor Disney will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which any party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. You and we agree not to, and expressly waive any right to, file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the applicable arbitrations or proceedings. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead, all Disputes will be resolved in a court.

A. Small Claims Court. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you or we may elect to pursue a Dispute in a local small claims court rather than through the informal dispute resolution process described below or arbitration, so long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the arbitral forum that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small claims court. At that time, the arbitral forum will close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the appropriate small claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent.

B. Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of a Dispute, you and Disney agree to attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each party a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. Except for those Disputes eligible to be resolved in small claims court or relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights, the claiming party must send to the other party a notice of a Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, detailed factual information sufficient to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s individualized claim, and the specific relief sought, including whatever amount of money is demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed damages. You must send any notice of a Dispute to Disney, 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521-7620, USA, Attention: Legal. We will send any notice of a Dispute to you at the contact information we have available for you, which may include, if applicable, the contact information associated with your Disney account. You and Disney will attempt to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning from the date the notice of a Dispute is sent. This informal negotiation requires an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and Disney (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to individually participate. Disney will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel. After the end of the sixty (60) day informal negotiation period and not before, and only after the completion of the Conference with respect to a claim, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding regarding that claim.

Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s claims before, during, or after any Conference or filing in small claims court. Each party agrees that a court may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this paragraph, including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this paragraph.

C. Arbitration Process and Rules. If you and Disney do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, and not state law, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. Any demand for arbitration must be filed with ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) (https://www.adrservices.com/). If ADR Services is not available to arbitrate, the arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) (https://www.namadr.com/). The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online will take place in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, however, that if you can demonstrate that arbitration in Los Angeles or the borough of Manhattan would create an undue burden to you, the arbitrator may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and Disney agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to either party individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy such party’s individual claim.

D. Fees. If we initiate an arbitration against you, we will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating an arbitration, you will be responsible for the nonrefundable initial filing fee and other applicable fees, as required by ADR Services or NAM. ADR Services sets forth fees for its services, which are available at https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. NAM permits any person to request information as to fees for its services at https://www.namadr.com/info-request-form/?request_type=Standard_Fees_and_Costs. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a claim or the relief sought violate the representation requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall have the same power to award sanctions consistent with that rule.

E. Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment. At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for an arbitration hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or we may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.

F. Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Disney, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end your engagement with or use of any Disney Products or any communication with us.

G. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement via mail. If you do so, neither party can force the other party to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) calendar days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with this Agreement. If you opt out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may not opt out of only the class action waiver and not also the arbitration provisions. Your opt-out notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Disney account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement (and, if applicable, that you want to opt out of the class action waiver). You must mail your opt-out notice to P.O. Box 11565, Burbank, California 91510, USA, Attention: Disney Opt-Out. For clarity, opt-out notices submitted via email will not be effective.

If you have questions or concerns about the meaning of any provision of this arbitration agreement, please feel free to seek the counsel of an attorney. We thank you for understanding why it is important that we agree on the process for addressing disputes.

 

9. Additional Provisions

A. Choice of Forum. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, United States of America and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.

B. Choice of Law. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

C. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

D. Survival. The provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination, including but not limited to the restrictions, disclaimers, limitations, our rights to use submitted content, and rules regarding dispute resolution in Sections 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 as well as the general provisions in this Section 9.

E. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
