    Either party may submit any dispute arising from this agreement or the Website, including disputes arising from or concerning this agreement’s interpretation, violation, invalidity, nonperformance, or termination to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by Arbitration Resolution Services, Inc. (ARS), and the parties will be bound by all ARS rules and any award/decision rendered. ARS rules can be found at www.arbresolutions.com. Any decision or award as a result of any such arbitration proceeding will be in writing and will provide an explanation for all decisions. Any such arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator experienced in the Internet and will include a written record of the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator’s award will include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. An award of arbitration may be confirmed in a court of competent jurisdiction.

22. Attorneys’ Fees

    In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of section 22, “prevailing party” means, for any proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings.

23. Jury Trial Waiver

    Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.

24. Class Action Waiver

    All claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless the Company agrees otherwise, the arbitrator will not consolidate more than one person’s claims. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action.

25. Limitation on Time to Bring Claims

    A party will not file a claim arising out of or relating to this agreement or the Website more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

26. General

    1. Entire Agreement

       This agreement and the Chat Room Rules constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company about your access to and use of the Website. It supersedes all earlier or contemporaneous agreements between you and the Company about access to and use of the Website. A printed version of this agreement will be admissible in any proceedings arising out of (or relating to) this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and kept in printed form. Any additional rules or terms on the Website will govern the items to which they pertain.

    2. Changes

       The Company may change this agreement on one or more occasions. The Company will try to post changes on the Website at least 15 days before they become effective. Changes will become effective on the “last updated” date stated at the top of this page.

       Changes will not apply to continuing disputes or to disputes arising out of (or relating to) events happening before the posted changes. While the Company will try to notify you when the Company changes this agreement, the Company does not assume an obligation to do so, and it is your responsibility to frequently check this page to review the most current agreement.

    3. C26.3 Assignment and Delegation

       The Company may assign its rights or delegate any performance under this agreement without your consent. You will not assign your rights or delegate your performance under this agreement without the Company’s advanced written consent. Any attempted assignment of rights or delegation of performance in breach of this section 26.3 is void.

    4. Waivers

       The parties may waive a provision in this agreement only by a writing signed by the party or parties against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy, or in requiring the satisfaction of any condition, under this agreement, and no act, omission, or course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.

    5. Severability

       The parties intend as follows:

       1. that if any provision of this agreement is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded;
       2. that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, the entire agreement will be held unenforceable;
       3. that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section 26.5, then the rest of the agreement will remain in effect as written; and
       4. that any unenforceable provision will remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable.

    10. Successors and Assigns

        This agreement inures to the benefit of, and are binding on, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
