In the event of a dispute between you and the Company, this section outlines the expectations between the us.

Please include and attach  all relevant documents and information that pertain to the dispute. You and the Company agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to resolve the dispute. If we do not reach a resolution within sixty (60) days after we receive your written notice of dispute, you may pursue your dispute in arbitration or, solely to the extent specifically provided below, in court.
  2. You and the Company agree that, except as set forth below, any and all disputes, controversies and claims between the parties shall be resolved through binding arbitration. This arbitration provision pertains to  any and all disputes, controversies and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, even if the claim arises or may arise before or after the term.
  3. In the event you commence an arbitration proceeding, you agree that: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) the arbitration shall be conducted on written submission, telephonically or at a location determined by the AAA pursuant to the AAA Rules and Procedures; (iii) the arbitrator shall have the authority to award actual direct damages only with no authority to issue any fines and penalties nor award punitive damages or equitable relief; (iv) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW IN SUBPART (vi), THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT TO LITIGATE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NO RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, (v) your claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and you shall not have the right to participate in a representative capacity, or as a member of any class of claimants pertaining to any claim subject to arbitration, and the arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and may only resolve claims, and render awards between you and the Company and its Affiliates alone; and (vi) you may elect to bring your claim in a state small claims court of competent jurisdiction over the claim and the parties. With the exception of subpart (v) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures of the AAA, then same shall be stricken and the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and construed accordingly. For more information on the AAA and its Rules and Procedures, you may visit the AAA website at adr.org.
  4. Notwithstanding the above paragraphs, if you fail to pay us in full any amounts you owe when they are due, the Company may send your account to collection, and the Company and/or the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited to the collection of past due amounts and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or these Terms of Use.

NEITHER YOU NOR THE COMPANY SHALL BE A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
  7. IF YOU OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THE MANNER DESCRIBED ABOVE BY THE OPT-OUT DEADLINE, THEN THE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS ARBITRATION; ACCORDINGLY, IF A COURT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THIS SECTION, THEN THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO YOU.

Notice for New Jersey Residents

Under the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice ACT (“TCCWNA”), N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq., consumers may not be offered any written contract that includes a provision that violates any clearly established legal right of a consumer, or responsibility of a seller, as established by state or federal law. Accordingly, no provision in these Terms of Use shall apply to any consumer in New Jersey if the provision violates any such clearly established legal right or responsibility, including, but not limited to, grounds for redress under or in the event of: (i) seller’s tortious actions (such as negligence, failure to exercise a basic standard of care, failure to avoid creating an unreasonable risk of harm); (ii) the New Jersey Products Liability Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1, et seq. (such as the statutorily imposed duty to refrain from manufacturing and selling dangerous products, with the possibility of punitive damages for violations thereof); (iii) the New Jersey Punitive Damages Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.9, et seq. (such as the statutory right to pursue punitive damages in the event of harm caused by actual malice, wanton and willful disregard, reckless indifference); (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code (such as a comprehensive statutory regime governing the rights and duties of buyers and sellers with respect to contracts for the sale of goods, with the possibility of damages for economic and property harm); and (v) seller’s failure to reasonably protect against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (such as computer hacking and identity theft, as regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, and as governed by the New Jersey Identity Theft Protection Act, N.J.S.A.56:8-161, et seq., and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-3, et seq.). In addition, under the TCCWNA, no consumer contract may state that any of its provisions is or may be void, unenforceable or inapplicable in some jurisdictions without specifying which provisions are or are not void, unenforceable or inapplicable in New Jersey. As such, under the Limitations of Liability section in these Terms of Use, the exclusion or limitation of certain damages is not applicable in New Jersey with respect to punitive damages, loss of data, and loss of or damage to property.
