15. Disputes with Hemp Save The World

If you have an issue with us or our Services, let us know so we may hopefully resolve your issue and improve moving forward, we’ve outlined an optional pre-arbitration negotiation process in Section 15(i) below. However, if we can’t resolve the issue, then the following rules will govern any legal dispute involving our Services. By using our Services, you agree to the following dispute resolution process and binding arbitration agreement:

(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Hemp Save The World

YOU AND HEMP SAVE THE WORLD MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Commercial Arbitration Act (“CAA”); but if the CAA is inapplicable for any reason, then this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, without regard to choice of law principles. This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of these Terms of Service or if your relationship with Hemp Save The World ends. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims (defined below) between you and Hemp Save The World, including all Hemp Save The World Parties. This Arbitration Agreement also applies to claims between you and Hemp Save The World’s service providers, including but not limited to background check providers and payment processors; and such service providers shall be considered intended third-party beneficiaries of this Arbitration Agreement.

Except as expressly provided below, ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS BETWEEN US (EACH A “CLAIM” AND COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND HEMP SAVE THE WORLD. These Claims include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim, or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to: our Terms of Service and prior versions thereof (including the interpretation, enforcement, breach, termination, or validity thereof); our Services; Seller Offerings; background checks performed by or on Hemp Save The World’s behalf; the threatened or actual suspension, deactivation, or termination of your account or these Terms of Service; payments made by you or any payments made or allegedly owed to you; Hemp Save The World promotions, offers, gift cards, or referral or loyalty programs; any other goods or services made available through our Services; your relationship with Hemp Save The World; trade secrets; unfair competition; compensation; wrongful termination; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; fraud; defamation; emotional distress; breach of any express or implied contract or covenant; claims arising under federal, provincial, territorial, or state consumer protection laws; claims arising under antitrust laws; claims arising under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, Canadian Human Rights Act, Telecommunications Act, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Age of Majority Act, Canada Business Corporations Act, Competition Act, Copyright Act, Patent Act, Trade-marks Act, Bills of Exchange Act, Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act, Textile Labelling Act, Weights and Measures Act; and claims arising under federal, provincial, territorial, or state statutes, if any, addressing the same or similar subject matters and common law claims. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Claim (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) shall be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided below.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND HEMP SAVE THE WORLD ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ALL CLAIMS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to require arbitration of every claim or dispute that can lawfully be arbitrated, except for those claims and disputes which by the terms of this Arbitration Agreement are expressly excluded from the requirement to arbitrate.

If we make any changes to this ‘Disputes with Hemp Save The World’ section after the date you last accepted the Terms, those changes will not apply to any claims filed in a legal proceeding against Hemp Save The World prior to the date the changes became effective. Hemp Save The World will notify you of substantive changes to the ‘Disputes with Hemp Save The World’ section at least 30 days prior to the date the change will become effective. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you may send Hemp Save The World a written notification (including email) or close your account within those 30 days. By rejecting a modified term or permanently closing your account, you agree to arbitrate any disputes between you and Hemp Save The World in accordance with the provisions of this ‘Disputes with Hemp Save The World’ section as of the date you last accepted our Terms of Service, including any changes made prior to your rejection. If you reopen your closed account or create a new account, you agree to be bound by the current version of our Terms of Service.

(b) Prohibition of Class Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HEMP SAVE THE WORLD MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS (“CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU AND HEMP SAVE THE WORLD ARE BOTH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PURSUE OR HAVE A DISPUTE RESOLVED AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUBSECTION (B) SHALL NOT APPLY TO REPRESENTATIVE CLASS PROCEEDINGS ACT CLAIMS BROUGHT AGAINST HEMP SAVE THE WORLD, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED SEPARATELY IN SECTION 17(C).

The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider or resolve any Claim or issue any relief on a class, collective, or representative basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service, the Arbitration Agreement, or the CAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any Claim or any particular remedy for a Claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that Claim or particular remedy (and only that Claim or particular remedy) shall be severed from any remaining claims and/or remedies and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims or remedies to the fullest extent possible.

(c) Representation and Power of Attorney Waiver

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service or the Arbitration Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (1) you and Hemp Save The World agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under the Class Proceedings Act, in any court or in arbitration, and (2) for any claim brought on a private attorney general basis, including under the British Columbia Class Proceedings Act, both you and Hemp Save The World agree that any such dispute shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only (i.e., to resolve whether you have personally been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law), and that such an action may not be used to resolve the claims or rights of other individuals in a single or collective proceeding (i.e., to resolve whether other individuals have been aggrieved or subject to any violations of law) (collectively, “representative Class Proceedings Act Waiver”). Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service, the Arbitration Agreement, or the CAA Rules, disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability, or validity of this representative Class Proceedings Act Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. If any provision of this representative Class Proceedings Act Waiver is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason: (i) the unenforceable provision shall be severed from these Terms of Service; (ii) severance of the unenforceable provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the Arbitration Agreement or the requirement that any remaining Claims be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (iii) any such representative Class Proceedings Act or other representative Class Proceedings Act claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. To the extent that there are any Claims to be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction because a civil court of competent jurisdiction determines that the representative Class Proceedings Act Waiver is unenforceable with respect to those Claims, the parties agree that litigation of those Claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual Claims in arbitration.

(d) Rules Governing the Arbitration

You and Hemp Save The World agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to our Terms of Service shall be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by the Canadian Arbitration Association (the “CAA”) under its Arbitration Rules (the “CAA Rules”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in these Terms of Service. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the CAA’s website.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if proper based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of CAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. The parties may select a different arbitration administrator upon mutual written agreement.

As part of the arbitration, both you and Hemp Save The World will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator may award any individualized remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claims. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned written statement of the arbitrator’s decision which shall explain the award given and the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Buyers or Sellers, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Buyer or Seller to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Fees and Awards of Arbitration

Payment for any and all reasonable CAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the CAA Rules, subject to the following modifications:

If Hemp Save The World initiates arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, Hemp Save The World will pay all CAA filing and arbitration fees.
With respect to any Claims brought by Hemp Save The World against a Seller, or for Claims brought by a Seller against Hemp Save The World that: (A) arise out of, or relate to, Hemp Save The World’s actual deactivation of a Seller’s account or a threat by Hemp Save The World to deactivate a Seller’s account; (B) arise out of, or relate to, Hemp Save The World’s actual termination of a Seller’s agreement with Hemp Save The World under the termination provisions of these Terms of Service, or a threat by Hemp Save The World to terminate a Seller’s Agreement; (C) arise out of, or relate to, amounts owed by Hemp Save The World to Sellers for Seller Offerings, other than disputes relating to referral bonuses, other Hemp Save The World promotions, or consumer-type disputes, or (D) arise out of or relate to background checks performed in connection with a person seeking to become a Seller (the subset of Claims in subsections Section 15(e)(2)(A)-(D) shall be collectively referred to as “Seller Claims”), Hemp Save The World shall pay all costs unique to arbitration (as compared to the costs of adjudicating the same claims before a court), including the regular and customary arbitration fees and expenses (to the extent not paid by Hemp Save The World pursuant to the fee provisions above). However, if you are the party initiating the Seller Claim, you shall be responsible for contributing an amount up to an equal amount of the filing fee that would be paid to initiate the claim in the court of general jurisdiction in the province, territory, or state in which you provide Seller Offerings to Buyers, unless a lower fee amount would be owed by you pursuant to the CAA Rules, applicable law, or Section 15(e)(1) above. Any dispute as to whether a cost is unique to arbitration shall be resolved by the arbitrator. For purposes of this Section 15(e)(2), the term “Seller” shall be deemed to include both Sellers and Seller applicants who have not been approved to become a Seller.
Except as provided in the Arbitration Act or any provincial, territorial, or state equivalents, each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the claim(s) were litigated in a court such as costs to subpoena witnesses and/or documents, take depositions and purchase deposition transcripts, copy documents, etc.).
At the end of any arbitration, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees and costs or any portion thereof to you if you prevail, to the extent authorized by applicable law.
Although under some laws Hemp Save The World may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and non-filing fee expenses if it prevails in an arbitration, Hemp Save The World agrees that it will not seek such an award unless you are represented by an attorney or the arbitrator has determined that the claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards of the Arbitration Act).
If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Hemp Save The World’s last written settlement offer made after you participated in good faith in the optional negotiation process described in Section 15(i) below, then Hemp Save The World will pay you the amount of the award or $1,000 CAD, whichever is greater.

(f) Location and Manner of Arbitration.

If CAA arbitration is unavailable in your country, the arbitration hearings will take place in the nearest available location for a CAA arbitration. Your right to a hearing will be determined by the CAA Rules.

We’re based in British Columbia, so any legal action against Hemp Save The World related to our Services must be filed and take place in Kelowna, British Columbia. For all actions under the CAA Rules, the proceedings may be filed where your residence is, or in Kelowna, British Columbia, and any in-person hearings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties taking into account their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. For any actions not subject to arbitration or mediation, you and Hemp Save The World agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a provincial or federal court located in Kelowna, British Columbia.

(g) Exceptions to Arbitration

This Arbitration Agreement shall not require arbitration of the following types of claims: (1) small claims actions brought on an individual basis that are within the scope of such small claims court’s jurisdiction; (2) a representative action brought on behalf of others under the Class Proceedings Act or other private attorneys general acts, to the extent the representative Class Proceedings Act Waiver in Section 15(c) of such action is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction under applicable law not preempted by the CAA; and (3) claims that may not be subject to arbitration as a matter of generally applicable law not preempted by the CAA. Where these claims are brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, Hemp Save The World will not require arbitration of those claims. Hemp Save The World’s agreement not to require arbitration of these claims does not waive the enforceability of any other provision of this Arbitration Agreement (including without limitation the waivers provided in Section 15(b)), or of the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement as to any other dispute, claim, or controversy.

Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement prevents you from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with local, provincial, territorial, state, or federal agencies, and nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed to preclude or excuse a party from bringing an administrative claim before any agency in order to fulfill the party’s obligation to exhaust administrative remedies before making a claim in arbitration. However, should you bring an administrative claim, you may only seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to this arbitration provision, and you knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to seek or recover money damages of any type pursuant to any administrative complaint. Nothing in these Terms of Service or Arbitration Agreement prevents your participation in an investigation by a government agency of any report, claim, or charge otherwise covered by this arbitration provision.

If you are a government agent or entity using our Services in your official capacity, and you are legally unable to agree to the clauses in this section, then those clauses do not apply to you. In that case, our Terms of Service and any action related to our Terms of Service will be governed by Canadian Law (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

(h) Severability

Except as otherwise provided in the severability provisions in Section 15(b) and Section 15(c) above, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable under applicable law not preempted by the CAA, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

(i) Optional Pre-Arbitration Negotiation Process

Before initiating any arbitration or proceeding, you and Hemp Save The World may agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, claim, or controversy between the parties informally for 30 days, unless this time period is mutually extended by you and Hemp Save The World. A party who intends to seek negotiation under this subsection must first send to the other a written notice of the dispute (“Notice”). The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including as evidence of liability or for impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Hemp Save The World and the Hemp Save The World Parties, harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, expenses, demands, or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Hemp Save The World Parties, in connection with (i) any claim by a third-party (including any intellectual property claim) arising out of your use of our Services and any material you access using our Services or by any other means; (ii) a third-party’s use of such material that you access using our Services and make available to such third-party; or (iii) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law. You further agree that you will cooperate fully in the defense of any such claims. Hemp Save The World reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you shall not in any event settle any such claim or matter without the written consent of Hemp Save The World or the relevant Hemp Save The World Parties.
