SPECIAL STATE DISCLOSURES
NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS
The following are modifications to the provisions in Section 9 Legal Notices and apply only to consumers who are residents of New Jersey. Except as modified below, the provisions in Section 9 above remain unchanged and applicable to N.J. residents:

However, BareWeb does not guarantee that the use of the Services will meet your requirements.
BareWeb’s limitation of liability does not apply to you for damages arising out personal injury, property damage, negligence or willful misconduct or any other cause of action arising from the acts of BareWeb but does apply to the acts or omissions of third parties. BareWeb’s aggregate liability for all claims under any circumstances will not exceed the lesser of $1,000.00 or your actual, out of pocket costs and damages.

10. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES
Governing Law.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey without application of conflict of laws rules, except that the arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).
Resolution of Any Dispute.
In the event a dispute arises between you and BareWeb, we want to provide you with an efficient, neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting our customer care department at (877) 728-9272. or e-mail us by using our contact form located at our Contact Us page. We also participate in the Better Business Bureau's BBBOnLine Program. This means that we have committed to cooperating with BBB efforts to resolve disputes that may arise under this contract. Upon your request, we will agree to participate in a BBB dispute resolution process to resolve these disputes. There are limits as to the kinds of claims that the BBB will handle. Go to www.bbb.org/us/Dispute-Resolution-Services for more information. If, however, there is an issue that is unresolved, these Terms describe how both of us will proceed:
Binding Arbitration
YOU AND BAREWEB AGREE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT THE EXCLUSIVE MEANS OF RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES IS BINDING ARBITRATION. INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND BAREWEB EACH AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON A BILATERAL (INDIVIDUAL) BASIS PURSUANT TO THE JAMS ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES WITHOUT CLASS RELIEF, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES PERTAINING TO BAREWEB’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; STATUTORY CLAIMS THAT PURSUANT TO LAW ARE NOT ARBITRABLE; INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION; INTERPLEADER; OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ARISING OUT OF A CLAIM. These terms to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory (“Claims”). The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq., and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
Jury Trial Waiver.
WE EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT OR HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY.
Class Action Waiver.
All arbitrations under these Terms shall be conducted by a single arbitrator who shall have no authority to award class-wide relief. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms specifically prohibits you from commencing any legal proceedings as a representative of others or joining in any arbitration proceedings brought by any other person, acting as a private attorney general, or joining or consolidating Claims with claims or proceedings brought by any other person (“Class Action Waiver”).
Arbitration Procedures.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the Claim and setting forth the specific relief sought. All notices to BareWeb shall be sent to the following address: Bare Necessities, 1 Harmon Plaza, Suite 401, Secaucus, NJ 07094. All notices to you will be sent to the email provided in your account. Upon receipt of such notice, the other party shall have a sixty (60) day period in which it may satisfy the Claim against it by fully curing the Claim and/or providing all the relief requested in the notice, and/or entering into a settlement to resolve the Claim to the mutual satisfaction of the parties. After the expiration of such sixty-day cure period, you or BareWeb may commence an arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise agreed to by you and BareWeb in writing, the arbitration of any Claim under these Terms shall be referred to JAMS under its rules and procedures, be decided before a single arbitrator with substantial experience in the internet industry, and will follow substantive law in adjudicating the dispute, except that this section will be construed as a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the FAA. You and BareWeb agree that this section satisfies the writing requirement of the FAA. The JAMS rules are available on its site at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration of any Claim shall be conducted in the State of New Jersey, and for any non-frivolous Claim that do not exceed $10,000 BareWeb will: (1) pay all costs of the arbitration; (2) if you prefer will conduct the arbitration by telephone, and (3) will not seek attorneys’ fees in the event BareWeb prevails. Each party shall pay the fees and costs of its own counsel, experts and witnesses. To the extent this dispute resolution section conflicts with JAMS minimum standards for procedural fairness, the JAMS rules and/or minimum standards for arbitration procedures in that regard will control. Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or for the arbitrator’s award; and any such suit may be brought only in Federal District Court or, if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, or enforceability of these Terms including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause entitled “Class Action Waiver”.
Exception.
All parties, including related third parties, shall retain the right to seek adjudication in a small claims tribunal for disputes within the scope of such tribunal’s jurisdiction. Any dispute, which cannot be adjudicated within the jurisdiction of a small claims tribunal, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, with the exception of any Claim or action for indemnification, contribution, interpleader, or injunctive relief arising out of a Claim, which Claims or actions shall not be subject to arbitration. Any appeal of a judgment from a small claims tribunal shall be resolved by binding arbitration.
Choice of Law.
Any proceeding to enforce this arbitration agreement may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against BareWeb (except for small claims actions) may be commenced only in the federal or state courts of New Jersey. You hereby consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
11. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES FOR NON-US RESIDENTS
If any controversy, allegation, or Claim (including any non-contractual Claim) arises out of or relates to the Services or Terms and you are a non-U.S. resident, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us but if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this section. Your notice to us must be sent to Bare Necessities, 1 Harmon Plaza, Suite 401, Secaucus, NJ 07094, United States. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, BareWeb and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the dispute, though nothing will require either you or BareWeb to resolve the dispute on terms either you or BareWeb, in each of our sole discretion, are unsatisfactory.
