GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION; DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND US HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. THIS SECTION AND ITS SUBSECTIONS WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE WEBSITE TERMS FOR ANY REASON.
- GOVERNING LAW. THESE WEBSITE TERMS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE AND ENTERED INTO IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, U.S.A. THESE WEBSITE TERMS AND ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO, THESE WEBSITE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE (EACH A “DISPUTE” FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION AND ITS SUBSECTIONS) WILL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA (EXCLUDING ITS PRINCIPLES REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
- AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE (INCLUDING QUESTIONS OF ARBITRABILITY) WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY, AND ONLY SO LONG AS THE MATTER REMAINS IN SUCH COURT AND ADVANCES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.
- THE ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY HENNING MEDIATION & ARBITRATION SERVICE, INC. (“HMA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS RULES. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HMA AND ITS RULES CAN BE FOUND AT HENNINGMEDIATION.COM. THE ARBITRATION HEARING AND ALL PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH WILL TAKE PLACE IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, U.S.A.; HOWEVER, EITHER YOU OR WE CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE THE ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BY TELEPHONE OR VIDEOCONFERENCE IF PERMITTED BY HMA’S RULES. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR SELECTED BY YOU AND US FROM HMA’S PANEL OF ARBITRATORS, OR, IF YOU AND WE ARE UNABLE TO AGREE ON THE SELECTION, BY AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY HMA. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON BOTH YOU AND US, AND ANY AWARD THEREON MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES CONVENTION ON THE RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN ARBITRAL AWARDS (WHERE APPLICABLE). EACH OF YOU AND US WILL BEAR OUR OWN FEES AND EXPENSES OF ARBITRATION AND PARTICIPATING IN SUCH ARBITRATION, AND ALL FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE DIVIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN YOU AND US, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY YOU AND US OR AWARDED BY THE ARBITRATOR.
- THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO PROHIBIT YOU OR US FROM APPLYING TO ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF ONLY, BUT ALL OTHER RELIEF SOUGHT, AND ALL OTHER DISPUTES, WILL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
- WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR RIGHTS TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
- JUDICIAL FORUM FOR LEGAL DISPUTES; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ABOVE IS FOUND NOT TO APPLY TO YOU OR TO A PARTICULAR DISPUTE AS A RESULT OF A DECISION BY THE ARBITRATOR OR A COURT ORDER, THEN, UNLESS YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, ANY DISPUTE THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY AND IN THE COURTS LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION. EACH OF YOU AND US HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND EXCLUSIVE VENUE OF COURTS LOCATED IN FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, ATLANTA DIVISION, FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH DISPUTES, AND EACH OF YOU AND US WAIVES LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AS A DEFENSE. HOWEVER, THE TERMS OF THE SECTION TITLED “WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION” WILL CONTINUE TO APPLY TO SUCH LITIGATION.
- LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS. ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATING TO THESE WEBSITE TERMS OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by BIG of any term or condition set out in these Website Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of BIG to assert a right or provision under these Website Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Website Terms is held by a court, arbitrator, or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions of these Website Terms will be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Entire Agreement
The Website Terms, including our Privacy Policy and any additional terms that may apply to certain content or functionality offered or made available on or through the Website, constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and BIG regarding the Website and such content or functionality, and these Website Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website and/or such content or functionality.
