15. Governing Law and Forum
These Website Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable in British Columbia, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Website Terms.
Except as provided in the Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provisions below, the parties irrevocably attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of British Columbia, Canada for disputes arising out of or relating to these Website Terms or the Website.
15.1 Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver (Users in the United States)
This section applies to you if you access or use the Website from the United States, and is governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. British Columbia law continues to govern the substance of these Website Terms as provided above.
Informal resolution first. Before commencing arbitration, you agree to contact us at info@thegccollective.com with a written description of your dispute and the relief you seek, and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for at least thirty (30) days.
Binding individual arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved, you and GC Collective agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Website Terms or the Website will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable rules then in effect, rather than in court. The arbitration may be conducted by videoconference or, if an in-person hearing is required, in a location agreed by the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action and jury trial waiver. You and GC Collective agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. You and GC Collective each waive any right to a trial by jury.
Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, Website Content, or the security or integrity of the Website.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this section by sending written notice to info@thegccollective.com within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Website Terms, stating your name and that you decline to arbitrate. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Website Terms.
Severability. If the class action and jury trial waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and may be brought in the courts identified above, and all other claims will continue to be resolved in arbitration.
Nothing in this Section 15 limits any non-waivable right of a user who is a consumer under the laws of the user's province or territory of residence, including, for users resident in Quebec, any non-waivable right under the Consumer Protection Act (Quebec).
16. General Terms
You may not assign or transfer these Website Terms or your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Website Terms in connection with a corporate transaction, reorganization, change of control, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
If any provision of these Website Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Website Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.
These Website Terms are the complete agreement between you and GC Collective regarding your access to and use of the Website. They do not replace, modify, or limit the GC Collective Membership Agreement, Privacy Policy, any order terms, event terms, cohort terms, platform provider terms, partner terms, or other written agreement that applies to a separate membership, program, platform, event, product, or service.
Any provisions of these Website Terms that by their nature should survive termination or expiration will survive, including provisions about intellectual property, Website Submissions, prohibited uses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and general terms.
