IX. Dispute Resolution – Arbitration Agreement
If a dispute arises between you and MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. When you have a problem with MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA, you agree that you will first give MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. You may send a written description of your problem or dispute to: contact@mt-pharma-ca.com. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA’s receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the arbitration provisions below. We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any claims, complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. To the extent permitted by applicable law, by agreeing to these Terms and by using the Platforms, you agree that, if those efforts fail, any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA and any claim that MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated) or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. YOU AND MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED IN ANY ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY OF ANY OTHER PARTY.
The arbitration shall be conducted in Toronto, Ontario, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Either you or MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Toronto, Ontario necessary to protect the rights or property of you or MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA pending the completion of arbitration.
A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with JAMS. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must include a written explanation and will remain confidential.
If any provision of this agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution Section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). To the extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this Section, these Terms and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Ontario Arbitration Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c.17. Furthermore, this Dispute Resolution Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
This Dispute Resolution Section shall survive any termination of your account or the Platform. In the event that the arbitration provisions above are found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or controversy, either as a result of applicable law, your decision or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim must be resolved exclusively by an applicable court located in Toronto, Ontario. You and MITSUBISHI TANABE PHARMA CANADA agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Toronto, Ontario for the purpose of litigating all such claims or controversies.
Arbitration Opt-Out. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION WITH REGARD TO ANY PARTICULAR INTERACTION WITH THE PLATFORM, THEN WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF SUCH INTERACTION, YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS PART OF THE AGREEMENT BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO contact@mt-pharma-ca.com. Any opt-out received after the thirty-day (30-day) time period will not be valid and you must pursue your claim via arbitration pursuant to these Terms.
