This Agreement, your use of the Site and Services, and all related disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [Insert State, e.g., Illinois] and applicable federal law of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED BELOW, YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, AND CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE SITE, THE SERVICES, ANY TRANSACTIONS OR INTERACTIONS, OR THE PARTIES' RELATIONSHIP (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY) (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. b. Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. c. Arbitration Process. Arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator selected according to AAA Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English, primarily through document submission, or by phone or online, unless an in-person hearing is required by AAA Rules or agreed upon. If an in-person hearing is necessary, it will take place in [Insert County and State, e.g., Cook County, Illinois], unless otherwise agreed. The arbitrator’s decision will follow this Agreement and be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or specific performance, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim. The award rendered may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. d. Arbitration Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, unless applicable law provides otherwise. e. Exceptions to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Furthermore, this arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, which may seek relief against us on your behalf. Claims regarding infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights may also be brought in court. f. Litigation Venue. If arbitration is deemed inapplicable or unenforceable for any Dispute, or for enforcing an arbitration award, such litigation shall be subject to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [Insert County and State, e.g., Cook County, Illinois].
