The first Renewal Term shall commence on the first day of the first Month after the last day of the Initial Term, and each consecutive Month thereafter, unless earlier terminated as set forth herein.

If this Agreement is terminated by VIVRELLE, you will be entitled to a refund, on a pro rata basis, of any Fee actually paid by you for the remainder of the Month after the Effective Date of termination.

Further, you must immediate return any Selected Accessories, or other Accessories you have in your possession, in compliance with the return procedure.

18. Governing Law/Resolution of Disputes. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York without consideration to its choice of law provisions, and any claims arising hereunder shall be prosecuted therein.
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and VIVRELLE in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and VIVRELLE agree that ALL disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Subscription, whether based in tort, statute, fraud, contract, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these terms, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court, however, we agree to cooperate with each other to agree to reasonable discovery in light of the issues involved and amount of the claim. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and any other contractual relationship between you and VIVRELLE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND VIVRELLE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Notwithstanding the paragraph above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if such an action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
If you desire to assert a claim against VIVRELLE, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to VIVRELLE, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to VIVRELLE should be addressed to: Vivrelle, LLC, 118 East 28th Street, Suite 207, New York, New York, 10017, (“Notice Address”). If VIVRELLE desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by VIVRELLE, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If VIVRELLE and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or VIVRELLE may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by VIVRELLE or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association, as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms, including this arbitration agreement. Any arbitration hearing will take place telephonically, unless an in-person hearing is requested by either party and such request is approved by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, unless such award would conflict with applicable law.
YOU AND VIVRELLE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and VIVRELLE agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 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 claim. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts in New York, New York.
19. Conflicts. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Additional Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern.
20. Remedies. In the event that either party should breach or violate any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or fail to perform any of its material obligations hereunder, the other party shall be entitled to exercise any rights or remedy available to it at law or in equity. Such rights and remedies shall include but shall not be limited to termination (as provided herein), damages and the right to seek injunctive relief. The exercise of any rights or remedies available to the non-breaching party shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise by it of any other right or remedy and all rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
21. No Assignment. You acknowledge and agree that the rights granted herein are personal in nature and may not, in whole or in part, be transferred, delegated, or assigned by you without the prior written express consent of VIVRELLE. In the event you assign this agreement to a third party with VIVRELLE’s consent, you shall remain primarily liable for the performance of its obligations hereunder. Nothing herein shall prevent VIVRELLE from assigning its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
