DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please Read This Provision Carefully. It Affects Your Legal Rights.
- AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. You agree that all claims or disputes arising out of these Terms will be decided by an arbitrator through arbitration and not by a judge or jury (“Arbitration Agreement”). This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and evidences a transaction involving commerce. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator’s fees and the costs will be shared equally by the parties unless prohibited by law. Parties are responsible for their own attorneys’ fees. The arbitration proceeding will take place in Chicago, Illinois unless otherwise agreed. A court of competent jurisdiction will have the authority to enter judgment on the arbitrator’s decision and award. You and We agree to bring any claim or dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class or collective action, and there will be no right or authority for any claim or dispute to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). Regardless of anything herein and/or the applicable AAA Rules, the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver and/or the arbitrability of a claim or dispute may only be determined by an arbitrator. The following claims are excluded from this Arbitration Agreement: (a) claims in small claims court; (b) claims to enforce or to prevent the actual or threatened violation of a party’s intellectual property rights; (c) claims for temporary relief in connection with an arbitrable controversy, and (d) claims that are non-arbitrable per the applicable federal statute.
- JURY WAIVER. You understand and agree that by accepting this Provision in these Terms, You and We are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and We might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if You went to court (e.g., the rights to both appeal and certain types of discovery) may be more limited or may also be waived.
- SEVERABILITY. If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision whose remainder will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court.
- PREVAILING PARTY. In any arbitration proceeding or litigation (as applicable) between You and BUNDLAR in connection with any of the Agreements, Your access to or use of Our Services, or Your dealings with BUNDLAR, the prevailing party will be entitled to receive from the other party, in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting such arbitration or litigation (as applicable), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses, and court costs.
- LIMITATION OF CLAIMS PERIOD. No action or proceeding under these Terms, regardless of the form may be commenced by You more than one year after the date upon which the cause of action arises.
- VENUE FOR LITIGATION. Except for disputes subject to arbitration as described above, any disputes relating to these Terms or the Service will be heard in the State of Illinois or the United States District Court in each case located in Cook County and You agree to the personal jurisdiction of those courts over You.
ADDITIONAL TERMS
- GOVERNING LAW. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall be governed by the FAA.
- WAIVERS. By choosing not to enforce any of these Terms, We are not waiving Our rights.
- ASSIGNMENT You may not assign Your rights or delegate Your obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of BUNDLAR. Any prohibited assignment shall be null and void. These Terms shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted assigns and successors in interest if any.
- SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of these Terms should be determined to be illegal, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the laws of any state or country in which these Terms is intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction which that term is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from these Terms and the remaining terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.
- NO AGENCY. Nothing contained in these Terms will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, employment, or another form of joint enterprise between You and BUNDLAR.
- ADMISSIBILITY OF TERMS. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in arbitration, judicial, or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
