Applicable Law

The laws of the State of New York apply to everything relating to L&R’s and the Website’s relationship to you. This means that any and all disputes, claims and controversies arising out of or relating to the Website, including the sale of products, content, services, or technology, on or used through the Website, shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of New York applicable to contracts made, entered into and performed entirely therein, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions (except for Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.

Disputes/Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. L&R and you agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions in this section. For purposes of this section, we will use the term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), the Website, your access to and/or use of the Website, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through the Website. In the event of a Dispute, L&R or you must give the other notice of the Dispute. This notice must include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, as well as the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to L&R by email to webadmin@lrdist.com or by U.S. Mail to L&R Distributors, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 88 35th Street, Building 4, 5th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11232. To the extent that L&R has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail. We will try to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that any notice of Dispute is sent by U.S. Mail. L&R and you shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, L&R or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disputes concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Website shall not be subject to arbitration, and the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this section shall not apply to these types of Disputes. Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any Dispute of any kind, if unresolved through informal discussions within 30 days of the sending of the notice described above, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the U.S. state in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in New York, New York, and L&R and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. L&R and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, L&R and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. L&R and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If L&R’s or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator. You or L&R may choose to pursue a claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over you and L&R otherwise qualifies for such small claims court and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief. However, if you decide to pursue a claim in small claims court, you agree to still provide L&R 30-day advance notice by email at webadmin@lrdist.com or by U.S. Mail to L&R Distributors, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 88 35th Street, Building 4, 5th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11232. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the provisions requiring arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to L&R by email at webadmin@lrdist.com or by U.S. Mail to L&R Distributors, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept., 88 35th Street, Building 4, 5th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11232. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Website. If you do not opt out via this method, you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the provisions requiring arbitration, L&R will not be bound by them either. If any clause within this Disputes/Arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect. In any event, if for any reason a Dispute between L&R and you is before a court (e.g., if the arbitration provisions are found unenforceable or if pursuant to these Terms of Use the matter is not subject to arbitration), L&R and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

Termination

We may close your account at any time in our sole discretion and without notice to you. While we always want to promote a great shopping experience at L&R, this means we can close (or suspend) your account if we believe you are using the Website in a manner not intended by us or in a way that circumvents these Terms of Use.
