In addition, you agree that the location for the processing of your payments may change for any reason, including the type of Payment Method chosen, the currency selected, or changes or updates made to your Payment Method.

In the event a refund is issued to your Payment Method and the payment provider, payment processor or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method imposes any limitations on refunds, including but not limited to, limitations as to the timing of the refund or the number of refunds allowed, then Trade in Services B.V., in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to issue the refund either (I) in the form of an in-store credit; (II) via issuance of a Trade in Services B.V. check, which will be sent to the mailing address on file for your Account; or (III) in some jurisdictions, as a bank transfer, when the payment processor cannot refund back to the Payment Method.

The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction, as limited by the Limitation of Liability set forth in Section 15 of this Agreement and may award declaratory 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. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.

 

(C) Small Claims Court. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.

 

(D) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding.

 If either you or Trade in Services B.V. decide to arbitrate a Dispute, we agree to the following procedure:

 

(E) Hearing Format. 

In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Trade in Services B.V. or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Trade in Services B.V. is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.

 

(F) Arbitration Fees and Payments.

1. Disputes involving €75,000 or less. Trade in Services B.V. will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject Trade in Services B.V. last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“Trade in Services B.V. last written offer”), your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards you more than Trade in Services B.V. last written offer, Trade in Services B.V. will: (I) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (II) pay twice your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (III) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses unless you and Trade in Services B.V. agree on them.

 

2. Disputes involving more than €75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

 

3. Disputes involving any amount. In any arbitration you commence, Trade in Services B.V. will seek its AAA or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or your filing fees it reimbursed, only if the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In any arbitration Trade in Services B.V. commences, Trade in Services B.V. will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.  Trade in Services B.V. will not seek its attorney’s fees or expenses from you in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not included in determining the amount in dispute.

 

(G) Claims or Disputes Must be Filed Within One Year. 

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute to which this Section applies must be filed within one year in small claims or in arbitration. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed.  If not filed within one year, the claim or dispute will be permanently barred.

 

(H) 30-Day Opt-out Period.

 IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THIS DISPUTES SECTION, YOU MUST NOTIFY Trade in Services B.V. BY E-MAILING info@Trade in Services B.V..com WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS (UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW). In the e-mail, you must provide your (a) first name, (b) last name (c) address, (d) phone number, and (e) account number(s) and state the following: “I wish to opt out of the arbitration provision contained in Trade in Services B.V. Universal Terms of Service Agreement.” By providing your information in the method above, you are opting out of the agreement to arbitrate contained in Trade in Services B.V. Universal Terms of Service. Your opt-out request will only be valid if made within thirty (30) days of first accepting the Universal Terms of Service. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall contained herein shall continue to apply, including those related to the applicable governing law and the court(s) in which legal disputes may be brought.

 

(I) Amendments to this Section. 

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Trade in Services B.V. agree that if Trade in Services B.V. makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Trade in Services B.V. address) in these Terms, Trade in Services B.V. will notify you and you will have thirty (30) days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments.  If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these current Terms, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.

 

18. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY; DORMANCY CHARGES

 

Please be advised that if a customer has an outstanding account balance (a credit positive balance) for three (3) years or more for any reason, and (I) Trade in Services B.V. is unable to issue payment to such customer or (II) Trade in Services B.V. issued payment to such customer in the form of a paper check, but the check was never cashed, then Trade in Services B.V. shall turn over such account balance in accordance with state law.  You acknowledge and agree that in either case (I) or (II) above, Trade in Services B.V. may withhold a dormancy charge in an amount equal to the lesser of €25.00 or the total outstanding account balance associated with such customer.    

 

19. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and assigns.

 

20. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES

 

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

 

21. TITLES AND HEADINGS; INDEPENDENT COVENANTS; SEVER-ABILITY

 

The titles and headings of this Agreement are for convenience and ease of reference only and shall not be utilized in any way to construe or interpret the agreement of the parties as otherwise set forth herein.  Each covenant and agreement in this Agreement shall be construed for all purposes to be a separate and independent covenant or agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision (or portion of a provision) of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions (or portions of provisions) of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be found to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
