Severability
If these T & Cs are or become partially void, the parties will continue to be bound by
remainder of the same. The parties shall replace the void part by provisions that are
valid and have legal effect that correspond with those of the void part as much as
possible, taking into account the content and purport of these T & Cs. An additional
condition to this severability is found in the Arbitration section of these T & Cs.
Arbitration
Upon the election of either you or us, any Claims (as defined below), except for Claims
filed in a small claims court, may be resolved by mandatory, binding arbitration
(“Arbitration Provision”). The small claims court exclusion applies only so long as the
dispute remains in the small claims court and is an individual (non-class, non-
representative) Claim. If a Claim asserted in small claims court is transferred or
appealed to a different court, either you or we may then elect mandatory, binding
arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision is made
pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and
enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the FAA).
As used in this Arbitration Provision, the following terms have the following definitions.
The word Claim means any claim, controversy, or dispute of any kind arising from or
relating to the use of the website or any relationship arising from or related to the
website. The word Claim includes, but is not limited to, any claim, controversy or
dispute involving one or more of the following: (1) the formation, application,
enforceability, or interpretation of this arbitration provision or other part of the T & Cs;
and (2) any matters relating to the website including but not limited to the contents
thereof, your use or reliance upon information contained therein, your use of the
website, information you provide to us via the website and information we gather from
your use of the website.
All Claims are subject to this Arbitration Provision, regardless of whether the Claim: (i)
previously existed, is now existing (whether discovered or undiscovered) or arises later;
(ii) is based on a theory of contract, tort (including intentional tort), negligence, agency
or other vicarious liability, fraud, statute, regulation, constitution, or any other source
of law or equity; (iii) seeks monetary damages, or declaratory, injunctive relief, or other
remedy or relief; (iv) is asserted as an initial claim, counterclaim, crossclaim,
interpleader action, third-party claim or other action; or (v) is asserted as an individual
claim or as part of a class action or other representative or collective action. (Any Claim
asserted as part of a class action or other representative or collective action shall
proceed in arbitration on an individual basis as set forth below.) All questions about
whether disputes are subject to arbitration shall be resolved by interpreting this
arbitration provision in the broadest way the law will allow it to be enforced.
The party electing arbitration must use the arbitration administrator (“Administrator”)
shown below and follow its rules and procedures, except as otherwise stated in this
Arbitration Provision. Copies of its current rules, procedures, forms, and related
information, including information about how to file a Claim, may be obtained by
contacting the Administrator via the following methods of contact: (a) US Mail:
American Arbitration Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100,
Voorhees, NJ 08043; (b) Phone: 877-495-4185; (c) Fax: 877-304-8457; or (d) Email:
casefiling@adr.org.
For Claims with total financial exposure to us not exceeding $25,000, you may pursue
your action in the General Sessions Court located in Hamilton County, Tennessee (the
“small claims court exclusion”). Claims are subject to all the limitations set forth herein
and this provision does not confer any additional rights or remedies to you other than
access to and the use of the appropriate court. Our total financial exposure does not
include our attorney’s fees but does include any award by the court including any costs,
fees or other expenses assigned by the court.
Except for the small claims court exclusion set forth above, either you or we may ask an
appropriate court to compel arbitration, or stay litigation pending arbitration, of any
Claim, even if the Claim is part of a lawsuit in court. A party who has asserted a Claim in
a lawsuit may nevertheless elect mandatory arbitration with respect to any Claims
subsequently asserted in that lawsuit by any other party. Delay in exercising these rights
shall not waive such rights. Failure to exercise arbitration rights with respect to a
particular Claim shall not waive your right or our right to demand arbitration of any
other Claim. If the Administrator declines to administer a Claim in arbitration, then
either party shall have the right to proceed with the Claim as a lawsuit in court, in which
case the Class Action Waiver set forth below still applies.
You and we hereby knowingly and voluntarily (1) waive the right to proceed as part of
any class action and (2) waive the right to a trial by jury of any and all Claims. No Claim
submitted to arbitration is heard by a jury or may be brought as a class action or as a
private attorney general. You do not have the right to act as a class representative or
participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any Claim submitted to
arbitration (“Class Action Waiver”). Any Claim resolved by arbitration shall be arbitrated
on an individual basis by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims
is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make
awards is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought
by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all
parties.
The parties to this Arbitration Provision acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is
material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is non-
severable from this Arbitration Provision. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or
found unenforceable, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate (except for this
sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to
appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The parties
acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated. If
any portion of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, cannot be
enforced, that portion will be severed, and the rest of the Arbitration Provision will
continue to apply.
A single arbitrator chosen by the Administrator will resolve Claims pursuant to the rules
and procedures of the Administrator and this Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration
Provision will govern in the event of conflict with the Administrator’s rules and
procedures. Discovery procedures available to parties will be limited by the
Administrator’s rules and procedures. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive
law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and honor legally
recognized claims of privilege. The arbitrator will have the power to award any damages
or other relief that would be available in court and permitted under these T & Cs, but
only with respect to the named parties and the Claims being arbitrated. The arbitrator
and this Arbitration Provision will not be subject to federal, state, or local rules of
procedure and evidence applicable to lawsuits or to state or local laws relating to
arbitration. Either party may choose to have an arbitration hearing and to be
represented by counsel. An arbitration hearing may be conducted by telephone if the
parties agree. Any participatory arbitration hearing that you attend in person will occur
at a place designated by the Administrator at a location within the federal judicial
district of Chattanooga, Tennessee or at some other place agreed upon by you and us.
The arbitrator will use reasonable efforts to protect confidential information if
requested to do so by any party. The arbitrator will make any award in writing and,
upon a timely written request, provide a written statement of reasons for the award.
You and we will be responsible for paying the fees of the arbitrator and any
administrative fees charged by the Administrator according to the rules and procedures
of the Administrator. We will also pay or reimburse you for all or part of other
arbitration fees, if the arbitrator determines there is good reason to do so, and we will
pay any fees and costs, which we are required to pay by law or by the rules and
procedures of the Administrator. In addition, in the event that you receive an
arbitration award that is greater than our last written settlement offer, the arbitrator
shall have the discretion to require us to pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. Otherwise,
each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who prevails.
The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the parties, except for any right of
appeal provided by the FAA. Costs will be allocated in the same way as costs are
allocated in arbitration by a single arbitrator. A final and binding award is subject to
judicial review only as provided by the FAA. An arbitration award will be enforceable
under the FAA by any court having jurisdiction.
This Arbitration Provision shall survive: (i) changes in the T & Cs; (ii) changes in the
relationship between you and us; and (iii) bankruptcy of any party. Any different
agreement regarding arbitration of Claims must be agreed in writing.
