20. United States Law

We operate the Site from the United States of America. Site Content may not be appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to this Site from locations where Site Content may be illegal is prohibited. If you choose to access or use the Site or any Offerings from locations outside of the United States, you are responsible for compliance with the applicable local laws.

All software used on the Site or Offerings is subject to U.S. export controls. The software nor the Offerings may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported: (i) into, or to a national or resident of: Cuba, Burma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Venezuela or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods (collectively, the "Unauthorized Countries"); or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders.

21. Governing Law

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law and will specifically not be governed by the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, if otherwise applicable.
 

22. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and Herbalife agree to arbitrate any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Site, including but not limited to claims based on contract, tort, negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions. EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.

YOU AND HERBALIFE EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALSO APPLIES TO THRESHOLD ARBITRABILITY ISSUES, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATED TO WHETHER THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR ILLUSORY AND ANY DEFENSE TO ARBITRATION. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN YOUR AND OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, NOT AS A CLASS, PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

The mutual promise by you and Herbalife to arbitrate any and all disputes, and to do so on an individual basis, rather than to litigate before the courts or other bodies, provides the mutual consideration for this agreement to arbitrate.

Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

Unless you and Herbalife otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (available online at www.adr.org). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Herbalife will reimburse those fees up to $7,500, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Herbalife will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION IF YOU OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE EARLIER OF: (1) THE DATE YOU REGISTER FOR AN ACCOUNT, OR (2) THE DATE YOU FIRST SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH HERBALIFE THAT CONTAINED AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. The opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than the applicable deadline and mailed to Office of the General Counsel, Attn: Legal Department, Herbalife International of America, Inc., 800 West Olympic Blvd., Suite 406, Los Angeles, CA 90015. The opt-out notice must state that you do not agree to this arbitration provision and must include the name, address, phone number and email address associated with your Account. You must sign the opt-out notice in order for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of this arbitration provision; failure to comply strictly with this procedure and the applicable deadline automatically will render the opt-out notice null and void. If you opt out of the arbitration provision, all other parts of these Terms of Use will continue to apply.

 

23. General

To the extent any portion of these Terms of Use is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion will be modified solely to the extent necessary to cause such portion to be enforceable, and these Terms of Use, as modified, will remain in full force and effect. This is the entire agreement between you and Herbalife relating to the subject matter herein.
