GOVERNING LAW

Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate below if found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or previous versions of these Terms of Use, your use of the website, or any products or services sol or distributed by company or through the website, shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Rhode Island.  You agree to waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

DISPUTES

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.  IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND IMPACTS HOW CLAIMS YOU AND COMPANY MAY HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE DETERMINED.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of this website or to any products or services sold or distributed by us will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.  The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.  However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.  If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.  We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Governing Law & Arbitration  Rules

The Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.  If the FAA is found not to apply to any issue that arises under this section or the enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the State of Rhode Island.

The arbitration will be conducted under the then-current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  The AAA rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

Prohibition of Class, Representative, and Consolidated Actions

You and company agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action.  Unless both you and company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join more than one party’s claims, and may not adjudicate or determine any form of a representative, class, or consolidated proceeding.  The arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party bringing the claim, if such relief is warranted by the facts and law.  Any relief awarded by the arbitrator will not affect other company customers.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration both you and company each waive any right to a jury trial.  You and company also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
