    If you see an offensive or inappropriate post or comment on our External Social Media Presence, you should report it to the operator of the applicable site or platform using the procedures they have established for that purpose. If you see such a post on Internal Social Media Features it should be reported directly to us via the contact information below.

You shall not submit any posts which are libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable that would constitute or encourage a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party, or that would otherwise give rise to liability, or violates any law or obligation of confidentiality. We may screen or monitor posts for legal or other purposes, though we have no obligation to do so.

      (b) Class Action Waiver. BOTH YOU AND YOUR AFFILIATES, ON ONE HAND, AND GEORGE HATS AND ITS AFFILIATES ON THE OTHER HAND, AGREE THAT ANY CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN US MUST BE BROUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

AND, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION OR AWARD IN ONE PERSON’S OR ENTITY’S CASE CAN ONLY IMPACT THE PERSON OR ENTITY THAT BROUGHT THE CLAIM, NOT OTHER GEORGE HATS USERS, CUSTOMERS OR PARTNERS, AND CANNOT BE USED TO DECIDE OTHER DISPUTES WITH OTHER USERS, CUSTOMERS OR PARTNERS. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS. HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON ANY COURT WITH COMPETENT JURISDICTION HOLDS THAT THIS RESTRICTION IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN OUR AGREEMENT IN SECTION 25 TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT APPLY AND THE DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN COURT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND ALL PARTIES CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR SUCH PURPOSE.

       

      (c) Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 25 will not apply to any legal action taken by us to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost or damage (or potential loss, cost or damage) related to these Terms, including the website, our operations and our products and the Service.
