To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of Culinary Ginger, its recipes or content, or these Terms of Use shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration rather than in court, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

The arbitration process, including the applicable rules, location, allocation of costs and procedure for initiating a claim, must comply with applicable law and the terms of the arbitration agreement.

Individual Claims and Class Action Waiver: To the extent permitted by applicable law, disputes subject to arbitration must be brought on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated or representative action. This provision does not waive any rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

Your notice must clearly state that you wish to opt out of the arbitration provision and include sufficient information to identify you and your use of the website.
