- Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Subject to Section 10 below, any legal action or proceeding between HAKUBAKU USA, INC. and Customer shall be instituted in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding.
- Dispute Resolution.
Please contact us if a dispute ever arises between us. If we cannot resolve the matter informally, you agree that any and all disputes or claims (“Claims”) that have arisen or may arise between you and us shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Any and all Claims shall be submitted for binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures that are in effect at the time such arbitration is initiated (“JAMS Rules & Procedures”) which are available at: www.jamsadr.com, unless you can demonstrate to us that such venue would create an undue burden to you, in which case, we will allow you to initiate the arbitration in your home state. Any disagreements concerning the forum for arbitration will be settled by the arbitrator.
By using the Services, you agree to arbitrate your Claims. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS.
The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator, who shall be selected and render an award in accordance with JAMS Rules & Procedures. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator has no authority to make errors of law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. Any award may also be challenged if the arbitrator awards any relief that could not be awarded under the laws of the state in which the arbitration is held or in which the award is to be enforced. Except as set forth above, the arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon you and us and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has jurisdiction. You and HAKUBAKU USA, INC. agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any component arising from it (including, but not limited to, any briefs, pleadings or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required by applicable law.
You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you under applicable federal, state or local laws, except that you may not act as a class representative, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your and/or Hakubaku USA, Inc.’s individual Claims. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. Accordingly, you agree that the JAMS Class Action Procedures do not apply to any arbitration between you and us. This arbitration provision and the procedures applicable to the arbitration contemplated by this provision are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any state law that may be applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and HAKUBAKU USA, INC. retain the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for public injunctive relief and/or provisional relief, and any such request shall not be deemed inconsistent with these Terms, nor a waiver of the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration as provided in these Terms. You and HAKUBAKU USA, INC. acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances shall either party agree to class arbitration.
You acknowledge and agree that you and HAKUBAKU USA, Inc. shall pay the fees and costs of its own attorneys, experts, and witnesses incurred in connection with any arbitration or court proceeding between you and HAKUBAKU USA, Inc..
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, no arbitrator shall have the power to alter, amend or change the terms of these Terms nor have any authority to, award any incidental, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which includes, but is not limited to, damages for lost profits and diminution of value.
- Communication. When you visit Hakubaku USA, Inc.’s websites or send an email to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically and agree that we may communicate with you by email or by posting notices on Hakubaku USA, Inc.’s websites.

We are not responsible for the availability of any other site to which any HAKUBAKU USA, INC. website links. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the contents, advertising, products or other materials made available through any other site. Under no circumstances will we be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that is caused or alleged to have been caused to you in connection with your use of, or reliance on, any content, goods or services available on any other site. You should direct any concerns to that site administrator or webmaster.
- No Waiver. No waiver, express or implied, by us of any breach or default under these Terms will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
- Terminate Access. We may terminate your access to and/or use of the Services for any or no reason, at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice to you.
- Miscellaneous. These Terms constitute the entire agreement with respect to your access to and use of the Services.

The captions in these Terms are included for the convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors or permitted assigns of you and us, provided that you may not assign the Terms or any of your rights or obligations under the Terms without Hakubaku USA, Inc.’s express written consent.
