DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Option 1: Any Actions
Any legal action of whatever nature brought by either you or us (collectively, the “Parties” and individually, a “Party”) shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Schenectady County, New York, and the Parties at this moment consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens concerning venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms & Conditions. In no event shall any claim, action, or proceeding brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than 2 years after the cause of action arose.
Option 2: Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms & Conditions (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree first to attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 90 days before initiating the arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties cannot resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT 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. Your arbitration fees and share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will decide in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
The arbitration will take place in Schenectady County, New York, except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Suppose, for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration. In that case, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts in Schenectady County, New York. The Parties hereby consent to and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens concerning venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms & Conditions. In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than 2 years after the cause of action arose. Suppose this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable. In that case, neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be unlawful or unenforceable. A competent court shall decide such Disputes within the courts listed for jurisdiction above. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
