Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to this website and these Conditions of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Ohio or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Conditions of Use or this website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Vermont although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Conditions of Use in your forum of residence or any other relevant forum. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. YOU AGREE THAT WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

You and us agree to resolve any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief arising out of or relating to this website, the collection, use, or access to your information, or otherwise arising between you and us or our affiliates and each of our and their directors, officers, employees, and contractors exclusively by binding arbitration. Further, you agree arbitration is final and binding, and subject to only very limited review by a court. You also waive your right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, to the fullest extent allowed by law.

This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims between you and us or our affiliates and each of our and their directors, officers, employees, and contractors, including those arising out of or relating to these Conditions of Use and/or this website. Any dispute or claim made by you against us or our affiliates and each of our and their directors, officers, employees, and contractors, or vice versa arising out of or relating to these Conditions of Use and/or this website (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting us to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days after presenting the claim or dispute to us. We may request arbitration against you at any time after it has notified you of a claim or dispute. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by these Conditions of Use. The place of any arbitration shall be exclusively held in the State of Vermont, and shall be conducted in the English language; provided, however, you may request that any or all proceedings within the arbitration be conducted by phone or written submission.

Claims will be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, award damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or declaratory relief; except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.

Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you, nor us nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect. There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to the arbitration clause to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general).

We will pay all administrative filing fees for any arbitration that we initiate. All other administration filing fees will be divided between you and us according to the then-current applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration hearing. We will not seek to recover attorneys’ fees from you for any claims filed in arbitration that are not frivolous.

The requirement of arbitration does not apply to actions for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to our website or servers in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Limitation on Time to File Claims

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE CONDITIONS OF USE OR THIS WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver of by us of any term or condition set forth in these Conditions of Use 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 the 10 Company to assert a right or provision under these Conditions of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Conditions of Use is held by a court 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 Conditions of Use will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Conditions of Use constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to this website and the collection, use, and handling of your information and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to this website.
