In any interpretation and/or enforcement of these Terms, including without limitation, the dispute resolution provisions contained in Section 19, the Federal Arbitration Act or other applicable federal law shall only be applied to the extent that it does not conflict with or undermine New Jersey state laws and regulations applicable to the cannabis industry. Neither party may raise any defense or objection to the rights and obligations contained in these Terms, including this agreement to arbitrate disputes, or the waivers of rights contained herein, based upon or arising from the federal illegality of cannabis or any subject matter related thereto.

SECTION 19 – ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION 19 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS THAT AROSE OR WERE ASSERTED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS. THIS SECTION 19 IS AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES WHICH WILL, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS PROVIDED HEREIN: (1) YOU WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE CLAIMS AND SEEK RELIEF AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING; AND (2) YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON YOUR CLAIMS.  
 
Except for actions for equitable relief arising from claims of breach of confidentiality or infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights, you agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with The Botanica Boutique, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate disputes shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of these Terms. 
 
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH THE BOTANICA BOUTIQUE, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE BOTANICA BOUTIQUE ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE BOTANICA BOUTIQUE IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court as set forth in these Terms.
 
The Arbitration shall be initiated by either party by delivering written notice of intent to arbitrate to the other party. Arbitration of all disputes will be conducted in accordance with the then-current arbitration rules of either the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (the applicable JAMS’s or AAA’s rules referred to as “Rules”) or its surviving successor. The JAMS rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. The AAA rules can be found at www.adr.org. The Arbitration shall be held in Essex County, NJ, unless the parties mutually agree to have such proceeding in some other locale within the State of New Jersey. A single, neutral arbitrator who is selected in accordance with the Rules and who is either a retired judge or is a lawyer experienced in law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute and licensed to practice law will hear and resolve the dispute.  The arbitrator shall apply New Jersey procedural and substantive law, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New Jersey, and shall have the power to enforce the rights, remedies, duties, liabilities and obligations of discovery by the imposition of the same terms, conditions and penalties as can be imposed in like circumstances in a civil action by a court of competent jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies provided by New Jersey law and award damages provided by New Jersey law, except that punitive damages shall not be awarded. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced through an action thereon brought in the Superior Court for the State of New Jersey in Essex County. YOU AND THE BOTANICA BOUTIQUE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. 
 
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the contact email address designated in these terms within 30 days after first accessing the Website.  Your notice must include your name and address, your The Botanica Boutique username (if any), the email address you used to set up your The Botanica Boutique account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration provision.  If you opt out of arbitration, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

SECTION 20 – LIMITATIONS ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
