7. Dispute Resolution, Individual Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
7.1 Binding Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, your use of the Website, or your account registration, including the determination of the validity, scope, or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding, individual arbitration before JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The seat and place of arbitration shall be Palm Beach County, Florida, or via remote electronic teleconference means upon mutual agreement of the parties. The arbitration shall be administered in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).
7.2 Class Action Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES 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, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MULTI-PLAINTIFF PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS WITH YOUR DISPUTE.
7.3 Bellwether Provision for Mass Filings
If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are asserted against Hollywood.com by the same counsel, or a coordinated group of counsel, within a ninety (90) day period (a “Mass Filing”), the parties agree that the claims shall proceed in a staged, coordinated manner designed to manage system administration fees and promote structural resolution efficiency.
Ten (10) individual demands shall be selected randomly or by respective counsel to proceed first to final arbitration hearings (the “Bellwether Proceedings”). All remaining arbitration demands shall be completely stayed, paused, and held in abeyance. No arbitration filing fees, administrative infrastructure fees, or arbitrator compensation indices shall be assessed or due from Hollywood.com regarding the stayed demands until they are explicitly selected to proceed into subsequent staging cycles.
Following the formal conclusion of the first ten Bellwether Proceedings, the parties shall participate in a mandatory, good-faith mediation session for a minimum duration of sixty (60) days to attempt a global compromise and settlement of all remaining underlying claims based on the adjudication patterns of the bellwether cases.
7.4 Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out of this binding arbitration provision and class action waiver within thirty (30) days of your initial account registration or first transactional use of the Website. To exercise this right, you must send an explicit written notification via email to legal@hollywood.com with the exact subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out”. The body of the email must clearly state your full legal name, your registered account email address, and an unequivocal statement of your intent to permanently opt out of binding individual arbitration.
7.5 Severability
If any portion, clause, or line item of this Section 7 is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, the specific unenforceable provision shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining blocks and portions of this arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Website, these Terms, or any dispute arising therefrom shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions. For any claims legally severed from arbitration under these Terms, you and the Company explicitly consent to the personal and exclusive venue jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida.
