Informal Negotiation

In the event of a Dispute, you agree to first attempt to negotiate with Company by sending Company a written notice outlining the nature of the Dispute.

If, within 90 days, the Parties are unable to reach a resolution, arbitration is required, as described below.

Individual Arbitration

YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE OUTLINED ABOVE, SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Any such controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Terms, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of any such arbitration shall be in or near Ramsey County, Minnesota. The parties also agree that the AAA Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply to the proceedings.

Mass Arbitration

This Section on Mass Arbitrations (defined below) supersedes any provision to the contrary in these Terms.  

If you or Company files a demand for Arbitration that is one of fifty (50) or more similar demands for Arbitration filed against the other party (i.e., against you or Company, as applicable) by parties represented by the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination (“Mass Arbitration”), the arbitration of the Dispute, and all other Disputes constituting the Mass Arbitration, shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Associaton’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules. 

In the event of a Mass Arbitration, any issues arising under or relating to (a) the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable or (b) the jurisdiction of the arbitrator, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this Section or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Choice Of Law and Forum

The Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. You agree to personal jurisdiction therein. 

To the extent that any Dispute is not governed by the Arbitration provision above, you agree that the courts of Minnesota will have jurisdiction. You agree that any claims will be brought and maintained on an individual basis and not as part of any class, consolidated, collective, or representative capacity, and that you waive the right to a jury trial.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

If any provision(s) of the Terms of Use is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable. If a provision is excessively broad, such a provision shall be limited or reduced in scope so as to be enforceable.

The Terms of Use may not be assigned by you without Company’s prior written consent; however, the Terms of Use may be assigned by Company in its sole discretion.
