IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. THE LAWS OF YOUR PROVINCE OR TERRITORY MAY LIMIT THE ENFORCEABILITY OF MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSES IN THE CONTEXT OF CERTAIN AGREEMENTS WITH CONSUMERS.

Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, difference, controversy or claim between us or by either of us against the other or the employees, agents, mandataries, officers, directors, successors, assigns or affiliates of the other, arising out of, relating to, or having any connection with, the present Agreement (whether contractual or extra-contractual, in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether pre-existing, present or future), including any question regarding its negotiation, formation, existence, validity, performance, effects, interpretation, breach, resolution or annulment and further including the applicability or scope of this arbitration clause (including schedule A below) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Claims” and each, individually, as a “Claim”) shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration, to the exclusion of courts of law, in accordance with the arbitration rules set out in schedule A below, which Schedule is incorporated into and forms an integral part of this Agreement. However, before you submit a Claim for arbitration, you must first contact our customer service representatives at 1.800.326.2536, and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES takes a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within sixty (60) days from the date you or LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES is notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may then initiate the arbitration process as provided in schedule A below.

For greater certainty, no recourse may be made by either party to any court or tribunal, whether federal or provincial, in respect of any matter whatsoever relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, any Claim, any arbitration initiated to resolve a Claim, and any arbitration award made in relation to a Claim, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or by law. Any award rendered pursuant to the arbitration shall be final and binding on each of the parties and no appeal shall lie from such award. Such award may be rendered enforceable and executory by any court having jurisdiction over the person or the property of the person against whom enforcement of the award is sought. 

NO CLAIM MAY BE JOINED WITH ANOTHER LAWSUIT, OR IN AN ARBITRATION WITH A DISPUTE OF ANY OTHER PERSON, OR RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT IS ARBITRATED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRAL PROCEEDING FOR ANY REASON. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD DAMAGES THAT ARE BARRED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT AWARD EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR ATTORNEYS' FEES. YOU AND LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR AN AWARD OF DAMAGES THAT ARE EXCLUDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

Injunctive Relief and Provisional Relief 
Notwithstanding the provisions in this Section 13, schedule A or any other provision of this Agreement, LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES shall have the right to seek and obtain any injunctive, provisional or interim relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its trade-mark or other intellectual property rights or confidential information or to preserve the status quo pending arbitration.

14.  EXPORT LAWS

17.  ENUREMENT
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

18.  SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

19.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, together with all other agreements, terms or conditions incorporated or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between you and LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES relating to the subject matter hereof, the use of this website and any transactions conducted on or from this website, and supersede any prior understandings or agreements (whether electronic, oral or written) regarding the subject matter hereof, and may not be amended or modified except in writing, or by LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES making such amendments or modifications available to it pursuant to this Agreement.

20.  NO WAIVER
The failure of LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to respond to a breach by you or any third party of this Agreement shall not in any way waive the right of LAUDÉ GIRAULT COMESTIQUES to subsequently enforce any of the terms and conditions contained herein or to act with respect to similar breaches.
