Customer service inquiries are typically returned within two business days. 

In the event that our customer service team is unable to resolve your concern, you unconditionally agree that any and all Disputes (as defined below) between you and Company (whether or not such Dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with Company, including without limitation Disputes related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Properties, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”).  Arbitration shall be before JAMS (formerly known as Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services), www.jamsadr.com.  If you initiate arbitration, you shall have the choice as between these two arbitration forums; if Company initiates arbitration, it shall have the choice as between these two arbitration forums.  

WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE DEFINITION OF DISPUTES BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, INCLUDING ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEABILITY, INTERPRETATION, SCOPE, AND APPLICATION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (SUCH AS “GATEWAY” ISSUES OF ARBITRABILITY, WHETHER THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR ILLUSORY AND ANY DEFENSE TO ARBITRATION) WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Use. 

Class Action Waiver

By using the Properties, you agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall be conducted on an individual, not a class-wide basis, and that no such arbitration proceedings may be consolidated with any other arbitration or other legal proceedings involving Company or any other person.  You may bring claims only on your own behalf. You further agree that you, and anyone asserting a claim through you, will not participate in a class action, be a class representative, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding against Company or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Use. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person's account, if Company is a party to the proceeding. 

If the foregoing class action waiver (“Class Action Waiver”) or any portion thereof is found to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, then the Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by a court.  Any claim that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, illegal, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

Definition of Dispute

Except as described below, the term “Dispute” in this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Company regarding any aspect of your relationship with Company, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including without limitation fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal, statutory or equitable theory, whether related to the access to and use of the Properties or otherwise, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of these Terms of Use, except for the scope, enforceability and interpretation of the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.

However, “Disputes” SHALL NOT include claims that all or part of the Class Action Waiver is invalid, unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, or any claim for public injunctive relief, i.e., injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting alleged unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public. Such claims may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

How Will The Arbitration Work

Either you or Company may initiate arbitration proceedings.  The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator.  The arbitration will be an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a representative or class arbitration. The JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols for Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply.  The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. 

If required for the enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement under the Federal Arbitration Act, Company will pay all arbitrator’s costs and expenses.  If not, those costs will be paid as specified in the above-referenced rules.

The parties agree to bring the arbitration in Texas in Harris County.  As set forth in “Governing Law & Venue” section below, the arbitrator will apply Texas law.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Company must be filed within 1 year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred. This provision expressly survives the termination of your relationship with Company.  

Governing Law & Venue

The law applicable to the interpretation and construction of these Terms of Use and any transaction (including purchases made via the Properties) using or relating to the Properties, shall be the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal laws, and the laws of the state of Texas, USA, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, but subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and other federal law relating to the arbitrability of claims. You agree that all matters relating to your access to or use of the Property, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the United States and by the laws of the State of California AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Company's failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. Company reserves the right to change this dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of any or all of your transactions with Company. 

Exceptions to Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
