6. Dispute Resolution:  At Stylist’s exclusive option and discretion, disputes between Client and Stylist, including ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND STYLIST ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO CUSTOMER’S PURCHASE OF SERVICES FROM STYLIST MAY BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. Any arbitration shall be brought exclusively in Dallas County, Dallas, Texas, in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Texas law (the “Rules”), by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with said Rules, applying these Terms and consistent provisions of the federal and state laws (except conflict of law rules) of the State of Texas, U.S. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

8. Damage Limitation and Liquidated Damage: The parties agree and acknowledge that Stylist is not a guarantor nor an insurer and that the fees provided for hereunder would be substantially higher if Stylist was to undertake such responsibilities. The Client also agrees it would be extremely difficult and impractical to fix actual damages to Client, if any, which may result from a failure to perform the services under these Terms. It is therefore agreed, that (excluding only willful misconduct), STYLIST’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF ALL PAYMENTS MADE BY CLIENT OR A SUM EQUAL TO THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF CLIENT’S PAYMENT TO STYLIST, WHICHEVER AMOUNT IS LESS. IN NO EVENT WILL STYLIST BE LIABLE FOR: (I) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR (II) LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, REVENUES OR PROFITS (IN EACH CASE WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT), EVEN IF STYLIST IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE.

9. Nature of Agreement: This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed by the laws of the State of Texas applicable to agreements executed and to be performed within Texas. This agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties and no amendment, change or modification of the Agreement shall be valid, unless in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

10. Severability: If any part of these Terms are determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in effect.  

11. Force Majeure: Stylist will not be liable for delays in delivery or for failure to perform its obligations due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, material shortages, labor disputes, transportation delays, unforeseen circumstances, acts of God, acts or omissions of other parties, acts or omissions of civil or military authorities, government priorities, fire, strikes, floods, severe weather conditions, computer and/or technology interruptions, terrorism, epidemics and pandemics, quarantine or other governmental restrictions, riots, or war. Stylist’s time for delivery or performance will be extended by the period of such delay or Stylist, at its option, may cancel any order or remaining part thereof without liability by giving notice to Client.
