All matters relating to the Website and these Terms, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed by the internal laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction).

​

15. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

  • 15.1. Informal Resolution: We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against URBN Market, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at urbnmarketbethesda (at) gmail.com. We'll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of submission, you or URBN Market may bring a formal proceeding.

  • 15.2. Binding Arbitration: You and URBN Market agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Website through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation or application of this "Dispute Resolution; Arbitration" section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules, if applicable) then in effect.

  • 15.4. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Either you or URBN Market may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Montgomery County, Maryland, or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Website, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Montgomery County, Maryland, to resolve your claim.

  • 15.5. NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

​

16. Waiver And Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

​

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

​

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy (and any vendor agreement, if applicable to you as a vendor) constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and URBN Market Bethesda LLC regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
