Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") Requirement
(a) By using the Site(s) and any services obtained through the Site(s),
including the purchase or use of tickets, You and CitySights DC agree to
resolve any and all disputes and claims (all disputes and claims are
referred to below as "Claims") that may arise between us in individual
binding arbitration, as enforceable under Section 2 of the United States
Federal Arbitration Act (the "ADR Requirement"). Except as stated in
paragraph (e) below, this ADR Requirement applies to every aspect of the
relationship between You and CitySights DC, including any Claims that either
of us may have in contract, tort, or under any other legal theory, and
including without limitation Claims for personal injury, property damage, or
any other kind of damage, loss or wrong. By agreeing to arbitration, You
and CitySights DC are giving up the right to sue one another in court and to
have a trial before a judge or jury.
(b) It is an essential term of this ADR Requirement that both You and
CitySights DC may seek remedies only for their own individual
Claims, that neither you nor CitySights DC shall have any right or option to
have any Claim heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which
either of You or CitySights DC acts or proposes to act in a representative
capacity, and that no arbitration shall be combined with another arbitration
or other proceeding without the prior written consent from both you and
CitySights DC. This limitation is called a "class action waiver." Because
the class action waiver is an essential part of this ADR Requirement, this
requirement shall be null and void with respect to any Claim with for which
the class action waiver is limited or determined to be unenforceable, and
such Claim may only be brought in court.
(c) You and CitySights DC agree that the substantive law for deciding all
Claims between us shall be the law of the State of New York, without regard
to New York’s choice of law rules.
You further agree that the
statute of limitations for any Claim You may have against CitySights DC, or
that CitySights DC may have against You, shall be one year; in other words,
if You have any Claim against CitySights DC, You must assert it in
arbitration within one year from the date the claim arose, and any Claims
not brought within such period of time shall be deemed waived. The same
time limitation applies to any Claim CitySights DC may have against You.
(d) You and CitySights DC agree that any arbitration shall be conducted
before the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") (using the AAA’s
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes and the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules Expedited
Procedures, if applicable), in English, at a location in New York County
(Manhattan), New York State, United States of America. A copy of the AAA’s
arbitration rules, including directions for filing a request for
arbitration, is available through the AAA at
1633
Broadway, 10th floor,
New York,
NY
10019 (phone: 1-800-778-7879),
or on line at <www.adr.org>.
(e) Notwithstanding any other terms of this ADR Requirement,
You and CitySights DC agree that either of us
may litigate any Claim in the small claims court of New York County
(Manhattan), New York, if the Claim meets all requirements to be heard in
that court, but if such a Claim is transferred, removed or appealed
to a different court, you and CitySights DC will each have the right to
require that the Claim be arbitrated pursuant to this agreement.
(f) You and CitySights DC agree that, if either you or CitySights DC
commence an arbitration against the other, arbitration costs, including
compensation for the arbitrator(s), shall be split between us according to
AAA rules. Additionally, the prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding
commenced pursuant to this ADR Requirement shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for its reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(g) If You do not agree to resolve all Claims between us as required by this
Alternative Dispute Resolution Requirement, You may return your ticket prior
to using it (or cancel an online purchase), and provide CitySights DC with a
statement that you do not agree to be bound by this ADR Requirement, and
CitySights DC will refund the price of your ticket or cancel your online
purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this ADR Requirement will be
effective for any and all other Claims relating in any way to the use of the
Site(s).

block access from a particular Internet address to the Site(s).
