Any dispute or claim relating in any way to Gift Certificates or your VintageWineCellars.net Balance will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and U.S. federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these terms and conditions as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to VintageWineCellars LLC.

We and you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We and you also agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Any dispute relating in any way to VintageWineCellars.net gift certificates shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Tampa, FL, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate VintageWineCellars.net's intellectual property rights, VintageWineCellars.net may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of Idaho, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Vintage Wine Cellars reserves the right to change and update these terms and conditions from time to time in its discretion, and your continued use of this website represents acceptance of the revised terms and conditions.
