ARBITRATION

Governing Law. The T&C and the relationship between You and Us shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. To the extent court action is initiated to enforce an arbitration award, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the state of Texas and waive any objection as to venue or inconvenient forum. The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the T&C shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the T&C is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the T&C remain in full force and effect. Customer agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site or the T&C must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Any dispute or claim between you and us arising out of or relating to this T&C shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Collin County, Texas and shall be conducted in English. Questions of arbitrability shall be decided by the arbitrator. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit. The arbitrator’s decision shall follow the plain meaning of the relevant documents and the decision shall be in writing including the legal reasoning and factual basis for the decision. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction following judicial review, if any, as provided for by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that no arbitrator has the authority to: (i) award relief in excess of what this T&C provides; or (ii) award punitive or exemplary damages. All claims shall be arbitrated individually, and Customer will not bring, or join any class action of any kind in court or in arbitration or seek to consolidate or bring previously consolidated claims in arbitration. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND OTHER PROCEDURES INHERENT IN ORDINARY CIVIL LITIGATION. MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION FOR NON-CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
