TERMS & CONDITIONS
WELCOME
Welcome to Unpublishedcollection.com (hereinafter “Site”), which is operated by The Group L.A., Inc. and its respective subsidiary and affiliated companies (collectively referred to herein as “Company” or “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are excited about your visit, but before you begin exploring, please review all our terms and policies, including but not limited to our terms of use, privacy policy, and any other terms and any other policies incorporated by reference (collectively “terms and policies”). By using or transacting on this Site, you unconditionally agree to be bound by these terms and policies (the “Agreement”). Unfortunately, if we have reason to believe or determine that you are not abiding by the Agreement, then we will terminate this Agreement by denying you access to this Site. Likewise, if you choose not to be bound by these terms and policies, then you must terminate your session and may not access or use this Site, and must delete any content derived from our Site.
By accessing the Site, you acknowledge and agree to these Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Last Updated: October 2016
UPDATES
From time to time, the terms and policies will be updated in whole or in part, at which time the new date will be reflected above in the “Last Updated” section. Updated terms and policies will immediately replace and supersede any prior Agreements, unless otherwise noted. If we determine the updates are material, then we may choose to place a notice on the Site by: (i) revising the link on the homepage with the qualifying term “New,” “Updated,” or other similar language for a reasonable period of time, or (ii) sending electronic correspondence to customer accounts. Accordingly, if you use the Site after an update is published, then you will unconditionally agree to be bound by the updated terms and policies.
NOTICE OF ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution and is often considered a faster, more convenient, and less expensive way to resolve disputes. We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. However, if those efforts fail, then any and all complaints, disputes, disagreements, controversies or claims arising from or relating to this Agreement or related to any services rendered shall be settled exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). You agree to bring any dispute in Arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective action basis. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you hereby waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action against the Company. In addition, you agree that the Company may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. No demand for Arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
The Arbitration tribunal will consist of one arbitrator. Arbitration will be held in a location mutually agreed to by the parties (including by written submissions, telephone, or video conference), but if the parties cannot mutually agree to the final location, then JAMS will determine the location. Moreover, you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in Arbitration. The prevailing party shall bear any and all Arbitration-related costs, fees, and expenses.
The Arbitrator shall apply internal laws of the State of California consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles. The Arbitrator shall not have the power to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and shall not have the power to award punitive damages. If any part of this Notice of Arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this Notice of Arbitration provision shall remain in effect. Nevertheless, nothing herein shall prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of Arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
To begin an Arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent:

OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR COMPANY WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
