Notwithstanding the above, we customarily issue no more than 10 Credits back to the Correspondent for such a Correspondent's last letter to the deactivated Member.

If a Member has requested her profile to be deleted from the Services for unspecified/personal reasons, the Correspondent shall not have the right to receive any information with respect to the deletion of such a Member's profile, as it would be in violation of our プライバシーポリシー. Furthermore, the Correspondent shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to his correspondence with such a Member. We may, at our own discretion, issue 10 Credits back to the Correspondent's account for the Correspondent's last letter to the Member, if this letter was the last one in their correspondence.

If a Member has found her match, and the same is not the Correspondent, the Correspondent shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to this correspondence with such Member.

If a Member had been reported for inappropriate activities, we may, at our sole and unfettered discretion, issue a partial refund to the Correspondent, who had informed us of such Member's inappropriate activity by providing incontrovertible evidence of the same.

If a Member is found on an anti-scam site, or in case we receive reliable proof of the Member's illegal activities from another Member, such Member's profile may be deleted from the Services provided that we, in our sole and unfettered discretion, consider the supplied information substantial and irrefutable. We may issue a partial refund to the Correspondent who provided such information.

DISPUTES

IF YOU ARE A US RESIDENT

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT THEIR DISPUTES TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM THE COMPANY. You thus give up your right to go to court to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court). Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. This arbitration agreement further includes an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceedings).

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services sold or distributed by or through the Company shall be resolved in the following manner.

  1. Informal Process First. You agree to first contact our customer support by email and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally for a period of 60 days. Please refer to CONTACT US sections for details.
  2. Binding Arbitration. If the dispute has not been resolved in 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or in connection with or relating to the Services and/or this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, including disputes related to the applicability, enforceability, interpretation or formation of this Agreement to arbitrate, by binding arbitration.
  3. Arbitration Tribunal. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration. In the event the AAA declines to administer the arbitration, the arbitrator(s) will be appointed by the New York Supreme Court located in New York County, New York pursuant to New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“CPLR”) § 7504. The parties irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York for the purpose of administering an arbitration under Article 75 of the CPLR. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party's data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights, or to seek other relief in connection with the arbitration.
  4. Arbitrator and Rules. If the arbitration involves claims totaling less than US $250,000, the arbitration will be conducted before a neutral single arbitrator, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol. If the arbitration involves claims totaling more than US $250,000, the arbitration will be conducted before three neutral arbitrators, whose decision will be final and binding, and the arbitral proceedings will be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol. The AAA rules may be found online at www.adr.org.
  5. Location of Arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted in New York City, New York, USA, or such other place as chosen by the Arbitration Tribunal. If you live in the United States, you have the right to ask the Arbitration Tribunal to conduct the arbitration near your home if the arbitration involves an in-person hearing.
  6. Costs and Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by AAA rules, but if you are financially unable to pay any of them, the Company will pay them for You.
  7. Starting an Arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must file a claim with the American Arbitration Association and pay the required fee. The instructions for filing a claim may be found online at www.adr.org.
  8. Your Right to Sue in Small Claims Court. Provided you live in the United States, you may sue for US $5,000 or less in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction as an alternative to engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process, and engaging in the informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent of your right to sue or arbitrate against us.
  9. CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

IF YOU ARE A NON-US RESIDENT

You acknowledge that the transactions involving your use of the Services and any purchases therein took place in the country of incorporation of the Company. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services sold or distributed by or through the Company will be resolved by binding arbitration under the LCIA Rules, rather than in court.

The number of arbitrators shall be three. The arbitration shall take place in London, UK. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of this Agreement shall be the substantive law of the country of incorporation of the Company. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. Arbitrators, however, can award you the same damages and relief, and must honor the same terms in this Agreement, as a court would. The LCIA's Rules are available here. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the LCIA's rules. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD MONEY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL THEORIES OF LIABILITY OR PRAYERS FOR RELIEF MAY BE MAINTAINED IN ANY ARBITRATION HELD UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. You will attempt to resolve all disputes with respect to the Services through communication with our customer service. If parties are unable to resolve the dispute, You must use the dispute resolution mechanism discussed above in this section. Please also note should you chargeback any transactions billed to your account, the Company may be required to disclose any and/or all private communications sent/received by you through our Services in order to prove the validity of the charges billed to your account and our プライバシーポリシー will therefore not restrain any such disclosures.
