APPLICABLE LAW

Except for cases where your use of the Site is governed by a separate license agreement, your use of this Site shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to any choice of law provisions. You agree that jurisdiction over and venue in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Site shall be exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Allegheny County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to the Site must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises. The Company’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these Terms of Use. The Company may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.

The Company makes no representation that the Content on the Site is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to them from territories it is illegal or prohibited.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

You and the Company agree that each party will notify the other party in writing of any claims or disputes within thirty (30) days of the date it arises, so that the parties can attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. Notice to the Company shall be sent through the contact form on the Site. Your notice must include (a) your name, postal address, telephone number, the email address you use or used for your account and, if different, an email address at which you can be contacted, (b) a description in reasonable detail of the nature or basis of the dispute, and (c) the specific relief you are seeking. If you and the Company cannot agree on how to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the date notice is received by the applicable party, then either you or the Company may submit the dispute to binding arbitration.

The parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, other than those resolved informally per the agreement above, be submitted to confidential binding arbitration in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania except that the Company may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in Pennsylvania if you have violated or threatened to violate the intellectual property rights of the Company or a third-party. The parties agree that:

  • the arbitration will be provided by an alternative dispute resolution provider mutually agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree, then through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”);

  • any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

  • If any action or claim is filed in contravention of the arbitration rules provided in this section, the parties agree to personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and both waive the right to a jury trial. All claims filed or brought contrary to this section are improperly filed, and the non-filing party is entitled to recover all attorneys’ fees and costs relating to dismissal of the improperly filed claim incurred after the non-filing party has given notice in writing of the improperly filed claim.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

COMPANY AND YOU MUTUALLY AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BOTH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BROUGHT, HEARD, OR ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THESE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT NO ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO HEAR OR ARBITRATE ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS USERS. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in these Terms or the AAA Rules, any claim that all or part of this class action waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, representative or private attorney general action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the class, collective, representative and/or private attorney general action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the class action waiver that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.
