Arbitration

Please read this “Arbitration” section carefully.  It affects rights that you may otherwise have.  It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration through arbitration instead of through court trials and class actions.  Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited reviewed by a court.  This arbitration clause shall survive termination of these Terms of use. 

Binding Arbitration.  This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of use, your access to or participation in Rhino Rewards, the Rhino Rewards Card registered to your Rhino Reward account, or your relationship with us.  Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, your access to or participation in Rhino Rewards, or your relationship with White Rhino Coffee or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Opt-Out.  Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court and not be arbitration if you opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days from the date you registered for a Rhino Rewards account or the date on which you agreed to the Rhino Rewards Card terms and Conditions in connection with your purchase, loading, reloading or use of any Rhino Rewards Cards, whichever date occurs earlier (the “Opt-Out Deadline”).  You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending us a written notice that you opt out at the following Address: White Rhino Coffee Team, The Parvin Group, 500 N. Akard Street, Suite 3000, Dallas, Texas 75201.  Any opt out received after the Opt-Out Deadline (allowing three (3) additional days for mailing) will not be valid, and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures.  For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to our Customer Service Department to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute.  You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith.  You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days.

The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable) as modified by these Terms of Use.  The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org.  You and we agree that these Terms of use evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will be governed by the Law of the State of Texas, where applicable.  Any arbitration will be held in Dallas County, located within the State of Texas.  The arbitration will be conducted in the English language.  An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce these Terms of use as a court would.  Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

Costs of Arbitration.  Upon the filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, White Rhino will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you.  Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.  However, for claims under $10,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required hereinabove before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we will not seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver.  You and We each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.  If a court or arbitrator determine in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.  If you opt out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you.  Neither you, nor any customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with this opt-out procedure set forth above.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Governing Law

Any dispute arising from these Terms of Use or your access to or participation in Rhino Rewards will be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas, without regarding to conflict of law rules or principles.  Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas.

Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms of Use is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or party of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Use and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
