The Company reserves the right to limit the provision of the Site to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction and to limit the products or services that we provide.
14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Binding Arbitration
By accessing and using the Site, the Company and you agree that all disputes that cannot be resolved informally or through small-claims court in connection with these Legal Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration, which is a less formal legal proceeding than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to extremely limited review by a court.
If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the dispute (except those disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Legal Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Legal Terms. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings will be held in English. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE LEGAL TERMS, THE COMPANY AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. In the event any litigation should arise between the Company and you in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, THE COMPANY AND YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. THE COMPANY AND YOU AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR USER. Further, unless both the Company and you agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and the arbitrator may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute (“Notice”) that describes the basis and the nature of the claim or dispute, as well as the requested relief. After the Notice is received, the Company and you may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in these Legal Terms will be deemed to waive, restrict, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief to aid arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim. If the Company and you cannot resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received or a period of time mutually agreed upon by the parties, either party may begin arbitration proceedings. If the Company or you pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules (defined hereinbelow) for the pertinent claim.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. Any judgment or award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Delaware. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any reason, a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Michigan, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the dispute is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse the Company for all costs that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment, reimbursement of fees or expenses, or grant of non-monetary remedy or relief under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms at any time during the proceeding or, upon request from either party, within ten (10) business days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon the Company and you. All aspects of the arbitration proceedings, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, will be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph will not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect. Either party may waive any or all the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. Such a waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
