Furthermore, if Tanukanji LLC determines that a user has abusively violated any applicable terms, Tanukanji LLC may ban that user from redeeming or using Promotion Codes.

16. Choice of Forum

Subject to Section 24 (Dispute Resolution & Arbitration), all judicial proceedings relating to or arising out of these Terms and Conditions or the site and its services shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in the state of Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Both parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in state of Hawaii on the island of Oahu, and waive any objections to venue in those courts.

17. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SITE AND ITS SERVICES AND SEEKING MONETARY RELIEF SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ACCORDING TO THIS SECTION.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the party seeking arbitration (“Claimant”) must first send a written Notice of Claim to the other party (“Respondent”) by email or USPS Certified Mail. This Notice must contain the Claimant's name, address, and contact information; the identity of counsel (if any); the nature and basis of the claim; and the specific relief sought. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, the parties shall engage in at least one good-faith settlement conference by telephone or video conference. An individual party must be personally present at this settlement conference, and an entity party must be present at this settlement conference through an employee with settlement authority, though both parties may bring counsel as well. Arbitration shall be initiated only if no settlement can be reached at this settlement conference.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes Through Document Submission, Consumer Fee Schedule, and Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings (“AAA Rules”), and the provisions of this section. Where they conflict, the provisions of this section shall take precedence over any AAA Rules. If the AAA is unavailable to conduct an arbitration, the parties shall arbitrate through another mutually agreed upon organization or on an ad hoc basis according to the rules in this section. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

If a claim is within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, either party may choose to have the case heard in the small claims court on an individual basis, instead of arbitration.

If twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration are filed against or on behalf of the same party or related parties, and if representation of the parties is consistent or coordinated across the cases, then the AAA's Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings shall apply. Counsel filing twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration against Tanukanji LLC must comply with the AAA’s Filing Requirements for Multiple Case Filings. There shall be no class or collective arbitration, or joinder of claims, except as provided for in the AAA's Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Tanukanji LLC and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email within 30 days of the day you first access or use the site and its services.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may apply for and obtain non-monetary, injunctive remedies or urgent relief in court without engaging in any arbitration or informal dispute resolution process.
