16. Dispute Resolution
Partners Coffee values its relationship with every customer and wants to resolve any concerns quickly and fairly. Before pursuing any formal legal action, you agree to follow the steps below in order. Skipping any step is a material breach of these Terms of Service.
- Step 1 — Written notice and informal resolution (required)
- If you have a dispute with Partners Coffee, you must first send us written notice by email to hello@partnerscoffee.com with the subject line “Dispute Notice.” Your notice must include your full name, mailing address, order number, a description of the dispute, and the resolution you are seeking.
- We will acknowledge your notice within five business days and work with you in good faith to resolve the matter. You agree to give us 30 days from receipt of your notice to resolve the dispute before taking any further action. Either party may request an informal phone or video conference during this period. Most disputes are resolved at this stage.
- If you have a dispute with Partners Coffee, you must first send us written notice by email to hello@partnerscoffee.com with the subject line “Dispute Notice.” Your notice must include your full name, mailing address, order number, a description of the dispute, and the resolution you are seeking.
- Step 2 — Mediation (required)
- If the dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days, either party may request mediation before a neutral mediator. Mediation must be attempted in good faith before either party may proceed to arbitration or small claims court. The cost of mediation will be shared equally between the parties unless the mediator determines otherwise.
- Mediation may be conducted remotely by phone or video conference. Either party may request mediation through the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Mediation program or a mutually agreed mediator. The mediation process shall not exceed 30 days unless both parties agree in writing to extend it.
- If the dispute is not resolved informally within 30 days, either party may request mediation before a neutral mediator. Mediation must be attempted in good faith before either party may proceed to arbitration or small claims court. The cost of mediation will be shared equally between the parties unless the mediator determines otherwise.
- Step 3 — Small claims court
-
- Given that the average Partners Coffee order value is modest, we encourage the use of small claims court as the primary formal remedy for eligible disputes. Either party may bring a claim in the New York City Civil Court — Small Claims Part, or the small claims court in the county where you reside, provided the claim falls within that court’s jurisdictional limits.
- Small claims court is faster, cheaper, and designed for disputes of this size. You do not need a lawyer. Filing fees are low. We believe this is the fairest and most practical route for both parties when informal resolution and mediation have not succeeded.
- Either party may proceed to small claims court after completing Steps 1 and 2, or if the claim qualifies and the other party agrees to waive the mediation step in writing.
- Given that the average Partners Coffee order value is modest, we encourage the use of small claims court as the primary formal remedy for eligible disputes. Either party may bring a claim in the New York City Civil Court — Small Claims Part, or the small claims court in the county where you reside, provided the claim falls within that court’s jurisdictional limits.
- Step 4 — Binding arbitration
-
- For claims that do not qualify for or are not resolved by small claims court, and only after Steps 1 and 2 have been completed, the dispute shall be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, which are designed to be streamlined and low-cost for consumers. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules are available at www.adr.org.
- The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or remotely by phone or video conference at either party’s request. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award, including injunctive relief, but only on an individual basis.
- Filing fees for consumer arbitration under the AAA Consumer Rules are significantly lower than court filing
fees. Partners Coffee will pay all AAA administrative fees beyond the initial consumer filing fee unless the arbitrator finds the claim to be frivolous. - The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- No class actions
- You and Partners Coffee agree that all disputes will be resolved on an individualbasis only. You may not bring or participate in any class action, class arbitration, consolidated proceeding, or representative action against Partners Coffee. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration clause will not apply and the dispute will be resolved in court on an individual basis.

If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, the arbitration clause will not apply and the dispute will be resolved in court on an individual basis.
- Opt-out of arbitration
- You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in Steps 3 and 4 by sending written notice to hello@partnerscoffee.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service. Your notice must include your full name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect your obligation to follow Steps 1 and 2 before pursuing any legal action. If you
opt out, Partners Coffee will also not be bound by the arbitration clause.

- Exceptions — no notice required
- Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in court at any time without first completing Steps 1 through 3, where necessary to protect intellectual property rights or prevent irreparable harm. This exception is narrow and does not apply to money damages.
- Costs, fees, and frivolous claims
- Each party shall bear its own legal costs and attorneys’ fees unless the arbitrator or court finds that a claim or defense was frivolous, brought in bad faith, or asserted for an improper purpose, in which case fees and costs may be awarded against the offending party.
- A claim or defense will be considered frivolous if it has no reasonable basis in fact or law, is brought primarily to harass or burden the other party, seeks relief grossly disproportionate to the harm alleged, or is substantively identical to a claim that has already been resolved between the parties.
- Where a claim is found to be frivolous, the party bringing it agrees to reimburse Partners Coffee for all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against it. Partners Coffee reserves the right to seek such recovery in any applicable proceeding.
- To discourage abuse of the dispute process, any party who initiates arbitration or small claims proceedings without first completing Steps 1 and 2 in good faith shall be deemed to have brought a frivolous claim for purposes of fee-shifting, unless emergency relief was sought under the exceptions clause.
- Governing rules and survival
- This dispute resolution clause is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. It survives termination of your account or your use of the Site. If any part of this clause is found unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in full force.
