Terms of Use (Rev. 1343F05) 9 / 13
unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to
such disputes and/or the Company Services.
With Company
A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Sites and Company Services
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Michigan,
without regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to
informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute
any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in Mason County,
State of Michigan, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction
and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
excluded from this Agreement. Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information
Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action or
proceeding by you related in any way to the Sites or Company Services be instituted more than two
(2) years after the cause of action arose.
B. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or
claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any
Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least ninety (90) days
before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon
written notice from one person to the other.
C. Binding Arbitration. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one
party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION,
YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration
shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for
Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website
www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and
your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where
appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be
excessive, Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in
person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision
in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator
must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except
where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place
in United States County, State of Michigan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and
Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Terms of Use (Rev. 1343F05) 10 / 13
D. Restrictions. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between
Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined
with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis
or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought
in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
E. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Company agree that the following
Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding
arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or
Company’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft,
piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. If this Section is
found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute
falling within that portion of this Section 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 you and
Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
