8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER 

 

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. 

 

In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and we agree that any legal or equitable claim arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site or these TOU, and the formation, validity, enforceability, scope, or applicability of this TOU, including this Section 8 (referred to as a “Claim”) will be resolved as follows: 

 

8.1 Informal Resolution. We will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding (except for Claims described in Section 8.4 below) for at least 60 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing. You will send your notice to: Owners, c/o ARL Webtech LLC, 1034 Thornwood Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15234 and we will send our notice to you at the address provided by you. 

 

8.2 Formal Resolution. Except as provided in Section 8.4, if we cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim either of us asserts will be resolved only by binding arbitration and not in courts of general jurisdiction. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (referred to as the “JAMS Rules”) and under the rules set forth in this TOU. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this TOU, the rules set forth in this TOU will govern. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to your state's law. If you decide to initiate arbitration, we agree to pay the arbitration initiation fee and any additional deposit required by JAMS to initiate your arbitration. We also agree to pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding. Other fees, such as attorney's fees and expenses of travel to the arbitration, will be paid in accordance with JAMS Rules. The arbitration will be held at a location in your hometown area unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration. To start an arbitration, you or we must do the following things: 

 

(i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com. 

 

(ii) Send three copies of the request for arbitration, plus the filing fee to: www.jamsadr.com. 

 

(iii) Send one copy of the demand for arbitration to us. 

 

8.3 Special Rules. 

 

(i) In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator has no authority to make errors of law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. Otherwise, the arbitrator's decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any federal or state court that has jurisdiction. 

 

(ii) Neither you nor we shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. Accordingly, you and we agree that the JAMS Class Action Procedures do not apply to our arbitration. A court may sever any portion of Section 8 that it finds to be unenforceable, except for the prohibition on class, representative and private attorney general arbitration. 

 

8.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing: any dispute involving a violation of the Communications Act of 1934, 47 U.S.C. § 605, or the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 1201, or the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2510-2521, or any other statement or law governing theft of service, may be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction. You may also assert an individual action in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. 

 

9. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

 

9.1 Electronic Communications. By using the Site, you consent to receiving electronic communications from us, whether by emails, SMS or text messages, or the like. You agree that any notice, agreements, disclosure or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing. You agree to update your personal information immediately upon any change to your email address. 

 

9.2 Integration, Amendment, and Severability. Please note that these TOU, including our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these TOU, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and us and govern your use of the Site. These TOU operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of these TOU is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, you and we agree that the provision will be deemed severable from these TOU and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. In the event of any termination, whether by you or us, Sections 1, 2.1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 of these TOU will survive and continue in full force and effect. 

 

9.3 Governing Law.  All matters relating to the TOU and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Pennsylvania or any other jurisdiction). 

 

9.4 Waiver and Severability. No waiver of by us of any term or condition set forth in these TOU shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of us to assert a right or provision under these TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  If any provision of these TOU is held by a court or arbitration or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the TOU will continue in full force and effect.
