If you do not intend to honor these provisions, do not use the Service.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS CAREFULLY. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Unilever is committed to customer satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. Unilever’s Customer Service Representatives are ready to assist you and address your concerns. If our customer service team is unable to resolve your concern, you may pursue disputes as detailed in the sections below.
A. Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution - For all disputes, you must first give Unilever an opportunity to resolve the dispute by writing us at 700 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 07632, Attn: General Counsel, and providing the following information: (1) your name, (2) your address and email address, (3) a written description of your claim, expressly including any available documentation supporting or otherwise evidencing your claim that is in your possession or available to you through a third party, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek, the damages and/or injury you suffered, and a calculation for any such damages (a “Dispute Notice”). Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and Unilever. As such, your dispute and the disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.
Within 60 days after receiving a complete Dispute Notice, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and Unilever (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. Unilever will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
Both you and Unilever agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the “Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution Procedure”) is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation or otherwise filing any claim against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the dispute.
B. Arbitration Agreement, Class Action Waiver, Punitive Damages Waiver - Any claim between you and Unilever related to these Terms of Use or your use of this Service, if unresolved through informal pre-arbitration discussions, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except to the extent either party elects to resolve a dispute subject to the jurisdiction of a small claims court.
You and Unilever further agree that any dispute, whether at law or equity, arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Service, by whatever means, between you and Unilever, shall be resolved in its entirety on an individual basis (not classwide or collective) through binding arbitration. Any dispute regarding the scope of this Arbitration Agreement shall be decided by the arbitrator.
You and Unilever agree that any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement will take place on an individual basis, except as otherwise provided below, and that proceedings as a private attorney general are not permitted.
C. Arbitration Procedures - If any dispute between you and Unilever is not resolved as provided above (Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution) either you or Unilever may initiate arbitration proceedings. Any controversy or claim arising out of your use of this Service or these Terms of Use shall be settled by binding arbitration before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial disputes set forth in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree that Unilever accommodating any location request for your convenience will not subject Unilever to personal jurisdiction in such forum. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. Please go to www.jamsadr.com to see a complete copy of the JAMS Rules and Procedures or to submit a claim for arbitration. In resolving a claim for arbitration, the arbitrator shall apply New York State law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class, representative, or collective basis, or as a private attorney general on behalf of other persons similarly situated, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitrate the dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made and all initial filing requirements are met, unless further extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Disputes regarding the scope of this agreement to arbitrate shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION SHALL BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU MAY NOT BRING ANY CLAIM AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED PERSONS.
However, notwithstanding the above, if you file a demand for arbitration that is one of fifty (50) or more similar demands for arbitration filed against Unilever by parties represented by the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination (“Mass Arbitration”), the arbitration of the Dispute, and all other Disputes constituting the Mass Arbitration, shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, including the JAMS Mass Arbitration Fee Schedule (the “Mass Arbitration Procedures”), or any successor rules or procedures intended to or having the effect of reducing the cost of Mass Arbitration. The Mass Arbitration Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures.
You and Unilever agree that, in the event of a Mass Arbitration, any issues arising under or relating to (a) the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable or (b) the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Section 20, or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.
DO NOT USE THE SERVICE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.
D. Other Dispute Resolution Terms - In the event of any dispute between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the dispute. As in court, you and Unilever agree that any counsel representing someone in arbitration certifies that they will comply with the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, including a certification that the claim or the relief sought is neither legally or factually frivolous, nor brought for an improper purpose.
You acknowledge that if you are in breach of any provisions of these Terms of Use, you shall not have the right to enforce any of the provisions herein. This includes, but is not limited to, any rights or remedies that would otherwise be available to you under these Terms of Use.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THIS SERVICE OR THESE TERMS OF USE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
