17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ARBITRATION CLAUSE)
Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third party (or arbitrator) for a decision that is binding on the parties. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AS IT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND TRUE CITRUS SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
You and True Citrus each agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute, controversy or claim between you and True Citrus (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or in connection with these Terms, the use of the Site or Services that may be provided by or through the Site, and any claims against the other relating to Services provided or billed to you.
For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give written notice to True Citrus and provide an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Any written notification to True Citrus under this section shall be: (1) mailed to True Citrus Company, Attn: True Citrus Consumer Affairs, 11501 Pocomoke Court, Suite D, Baltimore, MD 21220 and (2) by email to: customercare@truecitrus.com with “PRE-ARBITRATION CLAIM RESOLUTION NOTICE” contained in the subject line of the email. Upon receipt of the written notice under this section, you and True Citrus shall negotiating in good faith in an attempt to resolve the Dispute.
If the Dispute is unable to be resolved within forty-five (45) days upon receipt of your written notice by True Citrus, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings regarding the Dispute., The arbitration will be held in Baltimore County, Maryland before a single arbitrator on an individual basis and in no event shall it be a class action. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (www.jamsadr.com). You may obtain a copy of the rules of JAMS by contacting the organization. You and True Citrus shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the JAMS rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate True Citrus’s intellectual property rights, True Citrus may seek (and you will not contest) immediate, temporary, or permanent injunctive relief in any local or federal court in the Albany NY, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, such non-enforceability shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
18. Class Action Waiver
YOU AND TRUE CITRUS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION, PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR OTHERWISE SEEK RELIEF ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER. YOU AND TRUE CITRUS MAY NOT BE PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
19. CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

To the extent a Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration provisions under these Terms, the parties hereby consent to and agree that any Dispute shall be brought and determined exclusively in the appropriate state or federal courts in Baltimore County, Maryland and in no other forum. The parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agree to take any and all future action necessary to submit to the jurisdiction of such court in the event applicable. However, that in the event True Citrus is sued or joined by a third party in any other court or in any other forum in respect of any matter which may give rise to a claim by True Citrus hereunder, you consent to the jurisdiction of such court or forum over any claim which may be asserted by True Citrus therein.
