13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
1. This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if your (i) Country of Residence is in the South Africa; or (ii) your Country of Residence is not in South Africa, but you bring any claim against Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy in South Africa.
2. Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 13.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the South Africa Arbitration Association (“SAAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 13 and except as provided in Section 13.6). Specifically, the Consumer Arbitration Rules provide:
1. Claims can be filed with SAAA online (www.arbitrators.co.za );
2. Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
3. Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
4. Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
5. The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at R4000;
6. The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under R40000, by the submission of documents;
7. The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the SAAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.arbitrators.co.za ) provided to the other party, as specified in the SAAA Rules.
4. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the Service or Site (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to our Dispute, you and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy agree that the arbitrator will decide that issue.
5. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
6. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by SAAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other SAAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the SAAA (the “SAAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The SAAA Rules are available at www.arbitrators.co.za or by calling the SAAA.
7. Modification to SAAA Rules - Arbitration Hearing/Location. In order to make the arbitration most convenient to you, Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in South Africa; (b) via video conference if available facilities are adequate for conducting an arbitration; or (c) in any other location to which you and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy both agree.
8. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
9. Jury Trial Waiver. You and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
10. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and Buhrmann Du Toit Golf Academy both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.
11. Severability as to Arbitration Agreement. Except as provided in Section 13.11, in the event that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall be given full force and effect.
