We do so to fulfill our obligations under this Agreement and for the other purposes described in the Privacy Policy. As a result, some of your PII may be shared with Distributors who are entitled to receive such information about persons within the Distributor’s downline.
- Miscellaneous Provisions: • Modification—The privileges and conditions of your Preferred Membership are subject to changes from time to time that Herbalife may adopt in its discretion. • Transferability—Preferred Memberships are for personal use only and may not be transferred or assigned unless authorized in writing by Herbalife in its sole discretion. • Choice of Law—This Agreement, and any dispute arising from the relationship between Herbalife and you, shall be governed by California substantive law without the application of conflict of law principles, except that the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. • Severability—Except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement, if any provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall be severed from the Agreement and have no effect on the remainder of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Further, there shall be added automatically as part of the Agreement a provision as similar as possible to the severed provision that would be legal, valid, and enforceable. • Damages—To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, neither party shall be liable to the other for any incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages under any legal or equitable theory, regardless of whether the possibility of such damages is known by either party. • Waiver and Delay—No failure, refusal or neglect of Herbalife to exercise any right, power or option under any agreement with any PM shall constitute a waiver of the provisions or a waiver by Herbalife of its rights at any time under this Agreement.
- Arbitration Agreement: Herbalife tries to resolve any dispute amicably and informally. However, if there is a dispute arising from this Agreement or the sale or use of Herbalife® products that cannot be resolved informally, you and Herbalife agree, subject to certain exceptions identified below, to resolve the dispute solely by binding arbitration rather than in court. You and Herbalife waive the right to trial by jury and agree that any arbitration under this Agreement shall take place on an individual basis and that class or representative actions shall not be permitted. Exceptions: (1) Either party may sue in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. (2) You may bring an individual action for monetary damages (but no other relief) in small claims court where permitted by law. (3) If the provision above regarding class or representative actions is, for any reason, found to be unenforceable, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void (but the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect).
The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), except as modified herein. The AAA Rules, and forms and instructions for giving notice and commencing arbitration, are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to Office of the General Counsel, Herbalife International of America, Inc., 800 West Olympic Blvd., Suite 406, Los Angeles, CA 90015. Note: As explained in the AAA Rules, the arbitrator shall determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and the arbitrability of any disputes. Herbalife will reimburse you for any arbitration filing fee and is responsible under the AAA Rules for all other arbitration fees. Regardless of whether attorneys’ fees and costs are recoverable by law, Herbalife will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if the arbitrator issues an award in your favor, unless Herbalife made a written settlement offer worth more than your award before an arbitrator was selected. Herbalife will be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs.
Either party may assert any counterclaims it may have against the other party. Hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you reside, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitrator shall issue a written award in accordance with the AAA Rules but may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
The interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. No amendment or modification of the Agreement will apply to claims that have accrued or are otherwise known to Herbalife at the time of the amendment or modification.
