- Dispute Resolution; Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.
- Our consumer services department is available to address any concerns you may have regarding the Device. You may contact them by phone at 1-800-255-3700, by email at useragreement@noa.nintendo.com, or by regular mail sent to Nintendo of America Inc., Attn: User Agreement, 4600 150th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052 USA. Most matters are quickly resolved in this manner to our customer’s satisfaction. Any matter we are unable to resolve and all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its formation, enforceability, performance, or breach (each, a “Claim”), with the exception of the matters described in section 7(C) below, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer-related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any AAA rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions or class arbitrations. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Claims. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, 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. Any such arbitration shall be conducted by the parties in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class-action waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth in this Section 7 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Claims.
- The rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879. To the extent the initial filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the initial filing fee for a lawsuit, we will pay the difference in fees. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim is less than $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.
- Section 7(A) does not apply to any Claim (i) in which a party is attempting to protect its intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights), or (ii) that may be brought in small-claims court.
- 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section 7 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Nintendo of America Inc., Attn: CS Admin, 4600 150th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052 within 30 days of purchasing the Device. Your notice should include the serial number and, if applicable, your purchase receipt. If you send this notice, then Section 7 will not apply to either party. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by this Section 7.
- Enforcement.
If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will no longer apply to the parties but all other parts of the Agreement will remain in effect unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. If we do not enforce any provision of this Agreement, that will not be considered a waiver of our rights. Any waiver or amendment of this Agreement must be obtained in a written document signed by an authorized representative of Nintendo.
- Governing Law.
This Agreement and all Claims – including any claims Nintendo has that you have violated its intellectual property rights – shall be subject to and governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, U.S.A., except for its conflict of law rules.
- Venue.
All Claims not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 7 and that cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington, U.S.A. You and Nintendo waive any objection to venue in the courts identified in this Section 10.
- Third-Party Rights.
Except as expressly stipulated by this Agreement, this Agreement does not confer, and is not intended to confer, any right on any person, existing now or in the future, who is not a party to this Agreement.
