By making a Submission, you agree that such Submission is non-confidential, non-proprietary, and may be disseminated or used by DSC. If you make a Submission, you automatically grant—or warrant that the owner of such content has expressly granted—DSC a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, create derivative works from, modify, publish, edit, translate, distribute, perform, and display the Submission in any media or medium, or any form, format, or forum now known or hereafter developed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DSC is not required to use any Submission.

Please do not submit any Ideas in any form to DSC. The sole purpose of this policy is to avoid potential misunderstandings or disputes when any of DSC’s products, services or marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas submitted to DSC.

Notwithstanding such policy, any Idea that is offered or communicated to us through the DSC Services or otherwise shall be the property of DSC, and may be treated by DSC as non-confidential information. You agree that: (a) any Idea (including its complete contents) by you to DSC will automatically become the property of Dollar Shave Club, without any compensation to you; (b) DSC may use or redistribute any Idea and its contents for any purpose and in any way, without any compensation to you; (c) DSC has no obligation to review any Idea; and (d) DSC has no obligation to keep any Idea confidential, and no confidential relationship may be established by or inferred from any such Idea to, or the consideration of your Ideas by, DSC.

3. TERMS OF SALE

3.1 Introduction

DSC sells shaving razors, grooming supplies, and other personal care products (the “Products”) to end-user customers (“Members”), including customers who purchase a recurring membership plan (“Subscriptions”) and/or customers who make an on-demand purchase to receive Products one time or on a schedule they choose from the options DSC makes available (collectively all purchases are herein considered “Membership(s)”). Products are only for Members’ own personal, non-commercial use. You may not purchase Products or Subscriptions for further distribution or resale or for any other commercial or business purpose. The Membership and all rights and privileges conferred are personal and non-transferable.

3.2. Placing an Order

To make a one-time purchase of a Product(s) or to purchase a Subscription, Members need to have an account with us, and will need to provide some personal information to register for an account and/or complete your order. Please see our Privacy Policy for details on how we use your information. You submit your order by clicking on the ‘Pay Now’ button (please note that your order may be a recurring Subscription as set out in these Terms). You should check your order and the information provided about your order carefully before you submit your order. Once you have submitted your order, we will send you an email to acknowledge and summarize your order. This does not mean that we have accepted your order

We will contact you if your order is not accepted. This will usually be because (a) Products you have ordered are unavailable; (b) we cannot authorize your payment; (c) you are not allowed to buy Products from us or we are not allowed to sell Products to you; or (d) there has been a mistake in the pricing or description of the Products you have ordered.

Our acceptance of your order will take place only when we have received payment from you and shipped your Products.

If any problems arise with your order, or with the shipping address or Payment Method (as defined below) associated with your order, and DSC is unable to resolve the problem, we may notify you via email using the email address associated with your account. It is important that you keep your information current with an accurate email address that you regularly check. If problems arise with your order that we cannot resolve, your order may be canceled and we may not be able to deliver future Products until the problem has been resolved.

3.3 Products and Product Pricing

The price that we will charge you for the Products and Subscriptions may vary based on the number of Products you select for each shipment and to the extent applicable any discount, promotion or offer. Pricing for Products and Subscriptions (including any applicable shipping and handling fees) can be found on the DSC Services. You may view or customize the Products in each shipment by logging into your account and visiting the ‘My Subscriptions’ page or cart. If you add or remove Products from a shipment, or change your Subscription, this may change the price that we will charge you for the Products and shipment.

We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to change prices for Products and Subscriptions, at any time, with appropriate notice to you, and, unless otherwise required by applicable law. We do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of promotions or price decreases.  If you do not wish to continue to receive the relevant Product(s) at the increased price, then you must permanently remove the Product(s) from your shipment or cancel your Subscription in accordance with Section 4.3 below.  You must do this at least one (1) working day before the first date we ship Products to you after the price change takes effect. Unless you permanently remove the relevant Product(s) or cancel your Subscription, you will be charged the increased price for the Product(s) for all deliveries of the Product(s) after the date on which the price change takes effect.

3.4 Memberships and Promotions

Your Membership may (at DSC’s sole option) start with a promotional trial period, allowing you to receive your first shipment at a reduced price or to otherwise receive trial Product(s) at a reduced price (“Trial”). You may also choose to add additional Products to your shipment or order on a one-time or recurring basis (“Add-On Products”). During the Trial period, your Payment Method (as defined below) will be charged for only the Trial price and any shipping and taxes, if applicable, and any Add-On Products selected. For combinations with other discounts, promotions and offers, restrictions may apply. DSC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine your Trial eligibility.

After the Trial period, Members will receive full-size Products shipped regularly based on the sign up offer or user defined Subscription frequency and/or Products you choose at the time you signed up for the Trial (each a “Restock Box”). DSC will bill your credit, debit, or other DSC-accepted payment method (“Payment Method”) for the applicable Restock Box – based on the Product(s), Subscription type and frequency you selected, and any Add-On Products you select for each shipment – at the end of the Trial period, unless you cancel your Subscription  prior to the end of the Trial period in accordance with Section 4.3.

To view the specific details of your Membership, including frequency of shipments and next ship date, visit our website and click the ‘Account’ page. To view your next shipment price, shipment contents, and ship date, click on ‘Manage.’ We may authorize your Payment Method through various methods, including authorizing it to cover your Membership as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect this authorization during your Trial period.

You will not receive a notice from us that your promotional pricing (which may be reduced during a Trial period) has ended or that the standard rate portion of your Subscription has begun. To avoid being charged after the expiration of your Trial, you must cancel your Subscription prior to the end of the Trial. After the Trial, we will continue to charge your Payment Method (depending on your Subscription selection) until you cancel your Subscription.

DSC reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw or modify any Product, Subscription, Membership, Trial, offering, or promotion at any time without prior notice and with no liability, where it is lawful to do so. Any and all Products, Subscription, Memberships, offers, or promotions advertised on the DSC Services are void where prohibited, and are subject to the posting of any official rules to such offers or promotions.

For additional information on Subscriptions, please review Section 4.1.

3.5 Processing Orders

If any problems arise with your order, or with the shipping address or Payment Method associated with your Membership, and DSC is unable to resolve the problem, we may notify you via e-mail using the address associated with your Membership. It is important that you keep your information current with an accurate email address that you regularly check. If problems arise with your order that we cannot resolve, your order may be canceled and we may not be able to process future Restock Boxes until the problem has been resolved.

3.6 Refunds

If you are dissatisfied with one of our Products, we will refund the amount paid for that Product in your most recent shipment received (if you received a discount, promotion or offer, then the amount we will refund is the discounted price) if you provide notice to us as described below. Refund requests must be made directly to us at [email protected] within 30 days of the date of shipment by DSC. If we ask you to do so, you must return the Product(s) in accordance with the instructions we give you. We are not liable for Products that you return to us that are damaged or lost in transit to Dollar Shave Club, so we advise you to return your Product using a tracked delivery method. Promptly following Dollar Shave Club’s receipt of your request (typically within five (5) business days), or, if applicable, promptly following return of your Product, Dollar Shave Club will credit the amount paid for the returned Product (less any shipping and handling costs/fees related to the original purchase, which are non-refundable) to the Payment Method you used to make the original purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DSC does not control when a specific credit card or Payment Method company processes a chargeback transaction. You are responsible for contacting your Payment Method company if you have questions about the status of the chargeback. 

We will not provide a refund for a request that is received by Dollar Shave Club more than thirty (30) days after the date of original shipment. We also do not provide a refund for returned Products that are damaged due to misuse, lack of care, mishandling, accident, abuse or other abnormal use. Finally, we do not provide a refund for returned Product requests that are abusive or unfairly taking advantage of our policy, including but not limited to, repeat refund requests on the same Product or repeat refund requests without return of the applicable Product.

3.7 Gift Cards

Gift Cards can be used for one-time purchases or for the first payment of a Subscription. Subsequent payments for a Subscription require an alternative form of payment. Subsequent on-demand Product payments will require re-entry of the Gift Card information. The risk of loss and title to gift cards passes to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission to the recipient or delivery to the carrier, whichever is applicable. DSC shall have the right to refuse service, suspend or terminate accounts or memberships or any related account(s), cancel orders or shipments, or recoup the amount of the Gift Card by charging the amount from the Payment Method supplied, in each case in its sole discretion, if DSC suspects a Gift Card is being redeemed and/or used in a fraudulent manner to make purchases on the DSC Services. Please review our full Gift Card Terms and Conditions. 

4. MEMBERSHIP & SUBSCRIPTION TERMS AND CANCELLATION POLICY

4.1 Subscription; Automatic Renewal

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT EACH SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR TERMINATE IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.

When you sign up for a Subscription, you will have the opportunity to choose (a) the Products included in each Restock Box (subject to availability); and (b) the frequency of each delivery/payment under your Subscription, from the options provided at the time you sign up. Your default Restock Box shipping frequency will be selected at the time you sign up until you change it in accordance with these Terms.

DSC will automatically renew your Subscription and charge your Payment Method depending on the Subscription and/or Restock Box shipping frequency chosen by you and, unless we or you cancel your Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

Your Payment Method will be charged at least one full business day prior to your next shipping date. We will charge your Payment Method with the applicable recurring cost for your Restock Box, and any Add-On Products, excluding any Products you ‘snooze’ or remove in accordance with these Terms, plus any shipping and handling costs and sales or similar taxes that may be charged with your Membership. You authorize the charges for your Membership and the renewal of your Subscription by agreeing to the automatic renewal of your Subscription and these Terms during the Membership sign-up process.

To avoid being charged for your Subscription, you must cancel your Subscription in accordance with Section 4.3. We will continue to bill your Payment Method on a recurring basis (depending on the Subscription and shipment shipping frequency selected) until you cancel.

4.2 Pausing and Resuming Subscription; Discontinuing Products

Your ability to pause Products

DSC offers its Members the ability to temporarily pause any one or more Products included in their Subscription (“Pause Period”)—you can do this by logging into your account, visiting the ‘My Account’ and ‘My Subscription’ pages, and clicking the ‘Pause Subscription’ link. During the Pause Period, a Members’ account will remain active, but they will not receive the Product(s) which they have paused in their next delivery of a Restock Box. During the Pause Period, Members will continue to receive communications from DSC via email, and continue to receive (and be charged for) the delivery of any Restock Boxes (with the exception of the paused Product(s)).

The amount we charge your Payment Method will be reduced, for your next Restock Box, to reflect the fact that we will not be delivering the paused Product(s). If your purchase was entitled to a discount, promotion, or offer, then that discount, promotion, or offer, and any related change in pricing, will be recalculated (if applicable) for your next delivery, excluding the paused Product(s).

Requests to pause a Product must be received at least one full working day prior to your next shipping date to take effect for that delivery. Pause requests received by DSC through other channels (for example, by email to [email protected]) may take up to five (5) business days to process. Otherwise that request will take effect on the following delivery.

Following the delivery for which you paused a Product, the Pause Period will end and the Product which you paused will be included in subsequent deliveries of your Restock Box (unless you pause it again or permanently remove it in accordance with these Terms). You may email any questions about the Pause Period to us at [email protected].

Our right to pause or discontinue Products

From time to time, we may pause a Product included in your Restock Box—for example, if there is no availability of that Product at the time of shipping. We may permanently discontinue Products included in your Membership from time to time. If this applies to you, then we will send you an email, using the email address associated with your Membership. Your Payment Method will not be charged for Products which are not included in your Restock Box, either because we have paused them or because they have been discontinued.

4.3 Membership & Subscription Cancellation or Modifications

Cancellation by Us

We may cancel your Membership at any time if you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within sixty (60) days of us reminding you that payment is due.  We reserve the right to not ship any Products or shipment  to you unless your payment for those Products, or that shipment, has cleared.

We may also cancel your Membership at any time if any of the following conditions are met: (a) if you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Product(s), for example, your shipping address; (b) if you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Product(s) to you; or (c) if we suspect, in our sole judgment, that a purchase was fraudulently made or an account was fraudulently set up.

Cancellation or Modification by You

You may cancel or modify your Subscription at any time by logging into your ‘Account’ on the DSC website. For cancellations, click the ‘My Subscriptions’ link, and then click ‘Cancel Membership’. For modifications to your Subscription, click the ‘My Subscriptions’ link and then you may modify the number of items purchased, Subscription frequency, shipment date, you may skip your order until next Subscription cycle date, among other options. You must submit your cancellation or modification request at least one full business day prior to your next shipping date to avoid being charged for that shipment. It may take up to five (5) business days to process cancellation or modification requests submitted through other channels that DSC makes available, such as by email. You may be charged for your next delivery if your cancellation or modification request is not received in time for processing before your next delivery date. If you have any questions or issues, please email us at [email protected].

If you cancel or modify your Subscription, you will enjoy your Subscription benefits until the end of the then-current Subscription term for which you have paid.

If you would like to cancel your Membership by deleting your account, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

4.4 DSC Referral Program

DSC may offer a referral program (“Referral Program”) that allows Members to earn promotional credits towards a future purchase of Products by referring their friends, family, or other individuals to DSC. For details about our Referral Program, please review our Referral Program Terms and Conditions. DSC reserves the right to terminate the Referral Program at any time for any reason, or disqualify any Member or prospective member at any time from participation in the Referral Program.

5. DSC SMS TERMS AND CONDITIONS

We may offer text functionality in connection with your Membership. If you would like to receive text messages about your shipment status, account notifications, and other special offers and announcements, you may sign up by visiting our website and providing your consent to receive autodialed texts from or on behalf of us at the mobile number you’ve provided to opt-in. You understand that consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply.

The inclusion of any hyperlinks to any Third-Party Pages or Third-Party Applications on the DSC Services does not indicate DSC’s approval or endorsement thereof. These links are provided solely as a convenience or benefit to users. Your interactions with a third-party on the DSC Services, or based on such third-party’s participation or presence on the DSC Services, are solely between you and the third party.

8. INDEMNITY

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold DSC, its affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and third-party service providers, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Dollar Shave Club Parties") harmless from and against any claims, actions, demands, liabilities, and settlements including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, your use of the DSC Services and/or Contents, or your violation of these Terms.

10. GENERAL

DSC makes no claims that the Contents are appropriate or may be downloaded outside of the United States of America. Access to the Contents may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries.

No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition.

12. MANDATORY AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read this Section 12 (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It is part of your contract with Dollar Shave Club and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.  THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR FINAL BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE ACTION.

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to a customer’s satisfaction by writing to our customer service department at [email protected] or Dollar Shave Club, Attn: Customer Service, 13335 Maxella Ave, Marina del Rey, CA 90292. In the unlikely event that our customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction, the terms of this Section 12 govern dispute resolution between us.

Applicable to the United States: ANY DISPUTE (DEFINED BELOW) BETWEEN YOU AND DSC, its agents, employees, successors, assigns, and direct and indirect subsidiaries WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except that you or DSC may take claims to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for hearing by such a court. In addition, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.  

There is no judge or jury in arbitration and arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, APART FROM THE NARROW EXCEPTIONS ABOVE, YOU AND DSC ARE EACH WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO RECEIVE A TRIAL BY JURY OR 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.

This Arbitration Agreement Applies to any “Dispute.” For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” shall include, but is not limited to, any claim or controversy between you and DSC that is related in any way to these Terms, including, but not limited to, your use of the website, sales, returns, refunds, cancellations, defects, policies, privacy, advertising, and/or communications between you and DSC, whether occurring on the Site or in-store, even if the Dispute arises after the termination of your relationship with DSC. “Dispute” also includes, without limitation, claims that (a) you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates, or other representatives; (b) DSC brings against you; (c) in any way relate to or arise out of any aspect of the relationship between you and DSC, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, advertising claims, or any other legal theory; (d) arose before you entered into these Terms or out of a prior agreement with DSC (including, without limitation, claims relating to advertising); (e) are subject to ongoing litigation where you are not a party or a class member; and/or (f) arise after the termination of these Terms. “Dispute,” however, does not include disagreements or claims concerning patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, claims of piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property, which shall not be subject to arbitration or the notice and informal process described below. These Terms and this Arbitration Agreement do not prevent you from bringing your Dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agency.

Pre-Arbitration Informal Dispute Resolution.

1. You and DSC agree to make a good faith effort to resolve any dispute informally prior to you or DSC initiating an arbitration proceeding. You or DSC must first send a written notice to the other party providing a detailed description of the Dispute; your or our name and contact information (address, telephone number, email address, and account number if applicable); sufficient information to enable you or us to identify any transaction at issue; and a detailed description of (1) the nature and basis of any claims and (2) the nature and basis of the relief sought (including a detailed calculation of any financial relief sought). Your notice to us must be personally signed by you (and your attorney if you are represented by legal counsel). Our notice to you must be personally signed by a DSC representative (and our attorney if we are represented by legal counsel).
2. Your notice to DSC should be sent to our registered agent or to Dollar Shave Club, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 13335 Maxella Ave, Marina del Rey, CA 90292. Our notice to you will be sent to the most recent contact information that you have provided to us.
3. For a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of a completed notice from the other party, you and we will work together using reasonable, good-faith efforts to try to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within this 60-day period (that can be extended by agreement of the parties), you or we may commence arbitration consistent with the process set forth below. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is mandatory and a condition precedent to initiating arbitration.
4. Any applicable limitations period (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
5. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is at issue, such sufficiency may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any arbitration shall be stayed pending resolution of the issue. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration or the assessment or payment of arbitration fees. You or we may also elect to raise non-compliance with this informal dispute resolution process and seek relief with a Process Arbitrator (as applicable) or in arbitration.

Arbitration Rules; Procedures; Fees

1. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send an arbitration demand to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), adr.org, 1.800.778.7879 (for any claim), (only if the claim does not qualify as a Mass Arbitration, as defined below) with a copy to our registered agent or to Dollar Shave Club, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 13335 Maxella Ave, Marina del Rey, CA 90292. To begin an arbitration proceeding, we must send an arbitration demand to the AAA with a copy to you at the most current address we have on file.
2. The arbitration demand must be accompanied by a certification of completion of the informal dispute resolution process. The arbitration demand and certification must be personally signed by you (and your attorney, if you are represented by legal counsel) if you are initiating arbitration or by a DSC representative (and our attorney, if we are represented by legal counsel) if we are initiating arbitration. By signing, the attorney represents that, to the best of their information, knowledge, and belief, formed after a reasonable inquiry that: (1) the arbitration demand is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims or other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 shall apply and the arbitrator shall be authorized to impose any sanctions available under such Rule on the parties and their counsel.
3. The Arbitration Agreement shall be subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and will be conducted by and in accordance with the rules of the AAA, and any supplementary rules, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. You can contact AAA to find out more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration consistent with this Arbitration Agreement, the parties shall make a good faith effort to agree on an administrator that will do so. If the parties cannot agree on an administrator, they shall jointly petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an administrator that will administer the arbitration consistent with this Arbitration Agreement. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules, or as otherwise may be required by law. The cost-shifting provisions of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 shall apply and be enforced by the arbitrator after entry of an award.
4. Except as specifically provided herein, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in-person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location, except any Dispute over $25,000 shall have an in-person or video hearing. You and DSC reserve the right to request a hearing in any matter from the arbitrator. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted at a location that is reasonably convenient to you or at another mutually agreed-upon location.
5. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who will apply and be bound by these Terms as a court would, and will adjudicate any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record, and not based upon any other basis. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. The arbitration award shall be binding only among the parties to the arbitration and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party.
6. You and DSC agree that we have a shared interest in reducing the fees and costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, either party may negotiate with the AAA for reduced or deferred arbitration fees, and you and DSC agree that the parties (and your and our counsel, if you and we are represented by legal counsel) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
7. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or these Terms are void, voidable or otherwise invalid.
8. The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law.  Specifically, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the arbitrator may not issue a “public injunction” and any such “public injunction,” if permitted, may be awarded only by a federal or state court. If either party is permitted to seek a “public injunction,” all other claims and prayers for relief must be adjudicated in arbitration first and any such prayer or claim for a “public injunction” in federal or state court stayed until the arbitration is completed, after which the federal or state court can adjudicate the party’s claim or prayer for “public injunctive relief.” In doing so, the federal or state court is bound under principles of claim or issue preclusion by the decision of the arbitrator.
9. Each side pays his, her or its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation costs, and in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.  

Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. You and DSC agree that these additional procedures apply if you or we seek to participate in a “Mass Arbitration” (defined below).

1. If your claim is part of 25 or more similar claims asserted against DSC by the same or coordinated counsel or otherwise coordinated (“Mass Arbitration”), you acknowledge and agree that these additional procedures apply, and that the resolution of your claim might be delayed. You agree to the following staged process and application of the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule. These provisions apply equally to Mass Arbitration initiated by DSC.
2. Any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) and any arbitration fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to these additional procedures from the time the first cases are selected to proceed until the time your case is selected, withdrawn, settled, or otherwise resolved.
3. Each arbitrator shall endeavor to issue their award within 120 days of their appointment or as swiftly as possible while ensuring fairness to the parties.
4. Your counsel and our counsel shall each select 5 cases (per side) to proceed in individual arbitration proceedings as part of an initial staged process. Alternatively, either side may elect to have its 5 cases selected randomly. The number of cases to be selected to proceed as part of this initial staged process can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties. Each of the 10 cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator and adjudicated individually. The remaining claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a staged process. If, after this initial set of proceedings, the parties are unable to informally resolve the remaining claims, they shall participate in a global mediation session with a retired federal or state court judge in an effort to resolve the remaining claims, and DSC shall pay the mediator’s fee.
5. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining claims after completion of the mediation, the parties will continue to engage in staged sets of proceedings as described above, unless the parties agree otherwise, with four differences: (1) a total of at least 50 cases may be filed in the second and later stages (which can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties); (2) the cases will be randomly selected; (3) arbitrators who decided cases in the first stage may be appointed in later stages if different arbitrators are not available; and (4) subsequent global mediation sessions between sets of proceedings is optional at the election of counsel for the claimants. Counsel for the parties will meet and confer throughout this process in an effort to informally resolve the remaining claims, streamline procedures, address the informal exchange of information, modify the number of claims to be adjudicated in any given set of staged proceedings, and ensure the process remains fair and efficient for all parties.
6. In each set of staged proceedings, any claims that have not been selected to proceed in individual arbitrations shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those claims until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of this staged process.
7. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enforce this section of the Arbitration Agreement, including by enjoining the mass filing, the prosecution or administration of arbitrations, or the assessment or collection of AAA fees.
8. This subsection of the Arbitration Agreement and each of its requirements are intended to be severable from the rest of this Arbitration Agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the staging process in this subsection is not enforceable, then the claims may be filed in arbitration and the payment of AAA filing, administration, case-management, hearing, and arbitrator fees will be assessed as the arbitrations advance and arbitrators are appointed rather than when the arbitrations are initiated. You and we also agree that should the staging process in this subsection be deemed not enforceable as set forth above, your counsel and our counsel will work together in good faith, including with the assistance of a Process Arbitrator, to develop streamlined procedures for the adjudication of claims to reduce the costs and maximize the efficiency of arbitration.

Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out of arbitration by sending your personally signed, written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Dollar Shave Club, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 13335 Maxella Ave, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, postmarked within 30 days of first accepting the Terms. You must include (1) your name and residential address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration and seek to have any Disputes addressed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with these Terms. By opting out of arbitration, all other provisions in these Terms, including the class action waiver and jury trial waiver, remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Severability and Survival. With the exception of the class action waiver set forth above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, the class action waiver above is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or U.S. federal court in Los Angeles, California.   THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR DSC WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Applicable to Canada: After any dispute arises, the parties involved in the dispute may agree to resolve the dispute using arbitration. If the parties elect to use arbitration, disputes shall be referred to ADR Institute of Canada. For a copy of the procedure to file a Claim, or for other information about this organization, contact them at www.adrcanada.ca.
