You must send any Notice of Dispute by e-mail to info@tsumosnacks.com. Please save your email and any “delivery” or “read” receipts.
We will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and Tsumosnacks will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that the Notice of Dispute is sent. We may be unable to resolve a Dispute by negotiation. In that case, you agree that the Dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration (not by a court). Any Dispute is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply. Please note that there is no judge or jury in arbitration. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator’s decision will be binding. It may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us at 77 W. Washington St, Suite 800, Chicago IL, 60602 with “Notice Requesting Arbitration” in the subject line. You may also contact us by mail at: info@tsumosnacks.com.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

This waiver of rights applies to class arbitration.
In this regard, you agree to arbitrate with Tsumosnacks only in your individual capacity and not as a representative or member of a class or in any consolidated or representative proceeding. Your claims may not be joined with any other claims. There shall be no authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If the class action waiver is found illegal or unenforceable, as to all or some parts of a Dispute, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. For certain claims, like violations of these Terms of Use or breaches of intellectual property covenants, we reserve the right to seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. All arbitrations shall be initiated in Los Angeles County, California.
