connection with your purchase of Items and services.

*Force Majeure*

We will not be liable or responsible to you, nor be deemed to have defaulted or

or circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts

hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other

civil unrest, national emergency, revolution, insurrection, epidemic, pandemic, or

*Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration*

You agree and understand that this Section is deemed to be a “written agreement

to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, satisfies the “writing”

requirement of that act, applies to your purchase of an Item or service, and governs

all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Stella Koret AND Tours by

Stella, LLC, its subsidiaries, affiliates, providers, and their respective officers,

directors, partners, shareholders, employees, contractors, agents, licensors,

suppliers, service providers, advertisers, instructors, staff, successors or assigns,

including but not limited to tort and contract claims, claims based upon any federal,

state, or local statute, law, order, ordinance, or regulation, and claims over the

applicability of this arbitration provision (collectively “Claims”).This Section can

only be changed or terminated upon mutual agreement. You understand and agree

that all Claims shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration using the American

Arbitration Association's (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) in

effect on the date of initiation of the arbitration, except as to those AAA Rules that

conflict with or differ from these Terms, by one or more arbitrators appointed in

accordance with said rules. Any controversy concerning whether a dispute is

arbitral shall be determined by the arbitrator(s) and not by the court. In arbitration,

as with a court, the arbitrator must honor the terms of these Terms and may award

the prevailing party damages and other relief (including attorneys’ fees).

HOWEVER, WITH ARBITRATION: (A) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (B) THE

ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (C) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION

OUTCOME IS LIMITED.


Each party to the arbitration will have the right, at its own expense, to be

represented by an attorney or other advocate of its own choosing. You and we will

pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the

applicable arbitration rules; but, if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Stella

Koret or Tours by Stella, LLC to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in

order for this Section to be enforceable, then Stella Koret or Tours by Stella, LLC will

have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The

arbitrator’s decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of

each Claim of the dispute and must provide a statement of the essential findings

and conclusions on which the decision and any award (if any) is based. Judgment

on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered in or by any court

that has jurisdiction over the parties pursuant to THIS Section above, of the Federal

Arbitration Act.

*NO CLASS ACTION MATTERS*

*NO CLASS ACTION MATTERS*

You agree that disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be

consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim

or controversy of any other party, such as class action claims or private attorney

general representative actions, with the exception of representative claims solely

for injunctive relief brought under unfair competition law. If any provision of this arbitration provision is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision shall

be severable from the remainder of this paragraph, which shall remain fully

enforceable. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO

PURSUE YOUR CLAIM FOR ALLEGED DAMAGES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND

A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.

You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if

you provide us with written notice of your intention do so within 30 days of your

purchase. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to

your individual dispute or controversy.

*Governing Law and Jurisdiction*

Terms, as permitted following the mandatory arbitration described above, shall be

brought in the state courts or federal courts of Tennessee, and you hereby

irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue thereof. These Terms will

be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard

to its conflict of law principles.

these Terms without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or

delegation in violation of this is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves

you of any of your obligations under these Terms.

The failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute

a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or

provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized
