With Company
A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Website and Company
Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the
State/Commonwealth of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of law provisions. With
respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as
set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith
other than in the state and federal courts located in United States County, State of North
Carolina, and you 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 is excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer
Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any
claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website or Company Services be
instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose.
B. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy
or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Company agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least
30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations
commence upon written notice from one person to the other.
C. Binding Arbitration. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes
expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election
to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND
HAVE A JURY TRIAL. 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 AAA website www.adr.org. The
determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. 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. If such costs are determined by the
arbitrator to be excessive, Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. 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 a party. 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 mecklenburg County, State of
North Carolina. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Company 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.
D. Restrictions. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute
between Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration
shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated
on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) 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.
E. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Company agree that the
following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations
and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the
validity of any of your or Company’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or
arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any
claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you
nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this Section 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 you and Company agree to
submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
