Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

ARBITRATION NOTICE: YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS, OR PARTICIPATE IN, A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR ARBITRATION.

Read the following arbitration provision carefully. It limits certain rights, including Your right to obtain relief or damages through court action.

Arbitration of Disputes. You agree that all disputes between You and Us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to these Terms or Your use of the Services will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, except for disputes relating to the infringement of Your or Our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, copyright and patents) or where We are seeking a preliminary injunction (“Excluded Disputes”). To begin Arbitration, either You or We must make a written demand to the other party for arbitration. The Arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be administered in keeping with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a copy of the AAA's Consumer Rules by contacting AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019 or visiting www.adr.org. Unless You and We agree, the arbitration will take place in the county and state (or equivalent political subdivision) where You live. We will advance to You either all or part of the fees of the AAA and of the arbitrator. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., will govern and no state, local or other arbitration law will apply. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT this arbitration provision means that You give up Your right to go to court on any claim covered by this provision. You also agree that any arbitration proceeding will only consider Your claims. Claims by, or on behalf of, other individuals will not be arbitrated in any proceeding that is considering Your claims. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of the arbitration provision, except that in no event shall this arbitration provision be amended or construed to permit arbitration on behalf of a group or class. Instead, in the event any litigation arises between You and Us, any such lawsuit will be tried before a judge, and a jury will not be impaneled or struck. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrators will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages. This arbitration provision does not limit or abridge in any way the filing by a California resident of a civil action to enforce rights conferred by the Ralph Civil Rights Act, California Civil Code Section 51.7.

Confidential Arbitration. You and We agree that except as may be required by law, neither You nor We may disclose the existence, content, substance, documents, or information submitted thereunder, or any results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of other party

Class Action Waiver

Neither You nor We shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims under or relating to these Terms, ‎by or against other individuals or entities, or litigate or pursue any claim as a representative ‎member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. THIS MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE ‎YOUR RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ‎ACTION WHATSOEVER. A court may sever any portion of this dispute resolution provision if ‎it finds such unenforceable.‎

Governing Law

THESE TERMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW RULES OR PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER, HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT BE ‎CONSTRUED TO LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OF ‎YOUR STATE OF RESIDENCE AS SET FORTH BELOW.‎

Exclusions and Limitations; Consumer Protection Notice‎

If You are a consumer, the provisions in these Terms are intended to be only as broad and ‎inclusive as is permitted by the laws of Your state of residence. Certain states, like New Jersey, ‎have heightened consumer protection laws that may make certain terms of these Terms ‎inapplicable to You. Specifically, if You are a New Jersey consumer, the terms of certain Sections that broadly reference applicable law, including, but not limited to those entitled Indemnification and Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, Class Action Waiver, and Severability and Waiver do not limit or waive Your rights as a consumer under New Jersey law and the ‎provisions in these Terms, as they pertain to You, are intended to be only as broad and ‎inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey. No provision of these Terms shall limit or waive Your rights as a consumer under the law of Your state of residence. In any ‎event, We reserve all rights, defenses and permissible limitations under the law ‎of Your state of residence.‎

Severability and Waiver

If in any cause of action brought forth by You, in any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, a court rules that any provision of these Terms are invalid, then that provision will be given no effect for the limited purpose of adjudicating the cause of action, without affecting the rest of these Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue to be valid and enforceable.

Our failure to enforce any part of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of Our right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms. Waiver of compliance in any particular instance does not mean that We will waive compliance in the future. In order for any waiver of compliance with the Terms to be binding, We must provide You with written notice of such waiver through one of Our authorized representatives.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with (i) any additional terms which You agree when using particular elements of the Services, and, where applicable (ii) any separate written or electronic agreement between You and Us, constitute the entire agreement between You and Us with regard to the Services and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between You and Us with respect to the Services.

We shall not be liable for any failure to perform Our obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond Our reasonable control including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic or communications failure or degradation.

These Terms are personal to You, and are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by You except with Our prior written consent. We may assign, transfer or delegate any of Our rights and obligations hereunder without consent.

BY USING THIS SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED ABOVE.
