MEDIATION
Red Cottage’s commitment to customer satisfaction has been strongly embedded in our company culture and values. It is important to us that our homes and the services provided meet customer expectations in all respects. Thus, if a problem should arise, please contact Red Cottage Customer Support at [email protected], and we will try to resolve your concerns or claims relating in any way to the Site, any dealings with our customer support agents, stays, or services provided by Red Cottage. If we are unable to resolve your concerns or claims, you may pursue claims as set forth in this section.
You agree to mediate any dispute or claim arising out of these terms or any resulting transaction before resorting to arbitration or court action with an experienced mediator, with a strong preference given to former state or federal judges. Mediation fees, if any, shall be divided equally among the parties involved. If the dispute or claim is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the commencement of mediation, either party may proceed by litigation or, if mutually agreed, arbitration. Any and all proceedings to resolve claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive your right to participate in or be represented in any class or representative action regarding any claim or dispute. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in mediation, you waive any right to a jury trial.
To begin mediation proceedings, you must send a letter requesting mediation and describing your claims to “Attn: Red Cottage Legal” at Red Cottage Inc., 41 E. 11TH ST. NY, NY 10003.
