You expressly agree that Company may use any aggregated and anonymized data for any purpose during or after the term of this Agreement, including without limitation to develop and improve the Service or otherwise develop and improve Company services and products.

You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Service. The trademarks, trade names, service marks, brands, logos, and trade dress displayed on the Service (collectively, the “Company Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered intellectual and proprietary property of Company and/or others. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Service should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or right to use any Company Trademark(s) without the express written permission of Company or the third-party owner of any such Company Trademark.

D. User Content. You are solely responsible for any User Content that you submit, post, or display on or via the Service.

None of your User Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Company, and Company will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any User Content you provide.

E. Reporting Copyright and Other IP Violations. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. Company reviews claims of trademark infringement. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Company infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or that access to it be blocked. The notice must include the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed on (or, if multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to allow Company to locate the material on the Service; (iv) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (v) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent or Applicable Law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. Please be advised that Company will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If Company determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, Company will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (i) your name, address, and telephone number; (ii) the source of the content that was removed; (iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed in error; (iv) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located; or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Company may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (v) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://copyright.gov/title17/92appb.html) and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

  1. Dispute resolution and arbitration: MANDATORY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

A. Binding Arbitration. You and Company both agree that any and all disputes or claims arising out of or relating in any way to Company products or services, including without limitation Products, or from any advertising for any such products or services, including without limitation any question regarding the existence, validity, or termination of the Agreement as well as any issue regarding the interpretation of this Section 15, will be resolved by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator (rather than in court), except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and Company may pursue a collection action against you in court. This also includes any claims that arose before you accepted the Agreement, regardless of whether prior versions of the Agreement required arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and federal arbitration law apply to this arbitration agreement.

B. Neutral Arbitrator. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including without limitation injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of the Agreement as a court would. Arbitration procedures allow for more limited discovery, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

C. Notice. If you have a dispute and elect to seek arbitration or file a claim in small claims court, you must first send to Company, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim that (i) describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (ii) sets forth the specific relief sought; and (iii) includes a physical address and email address where you may be reached (“Notice”). The Notice must be addressed to: 5612 Jensen Street, STE J, Elmwood, LA 70123 (“Notice Address”). You may download or copy a form Notice at www.adr.org. If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.

D. Initiation of Arbitration. You may download or copy a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.

E. Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s then current Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by the terms of the Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, the terms of the Agreement will apply.

F. Fees. Each party will bear its own fees in connection with the arbitration, including without limitation the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing.

G. Hearings. If your claim is for US$25,000 or less, you and Company agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents or through a telephonic hearing. You may also request an in-person hearing, which the arbitrator may grant at his or her discretion. If the arbitrator grants an in-person hearing, such hearing will be conducted either at a mutually agreed location or a location determined by the AAA or the arbitrator. In such an in-person hearing, the parties, or any of their witnesses, have the right to participate remotely by way of videoconference or some similar means. If your claim exceeds US$25,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitrator. All in-person hearings will be held in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

H. No Class Action. You and Company agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, representative, consolidated, or mass action. Neither you nor Company may join or consolidate claims by or against a third party or arbitrate or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity. If this provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 shall be null and void.

I. Confidentiality. Any arbitration will be confidential. Neither you, Company, the AAA, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content (including any oral or written submissions), or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by Applicable Law or for purposes of enforcing or challenging of the arbitration award.

J. Opt-Out. You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure by providing written notice to Company at the Notice Address no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of your purchase of Company products or services (or date of first use, in the case of free products or services). Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not otherwise affect the coverage or applicability of the Agreement or your ability to purchase or use Company products or services in any way.

K. Time Limitation on Claims. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Company and this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred. 

  1. Choice of Law and Forum

Without limiting Section 15 this Agreement and your relationship with Company Parties shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to conflict of laws principles AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. Subject to Section 15, the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to enforce this Agreement in the federal or state courts located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

  1. Miscellaneous

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and such provision will be reformed in a manner to effectuate the original intent of the parties as closely as possible and remain enforceable. If such reformation is not possible in a manner that is enforceable, then such term will be severed from the remaining terms, and the remaining terms will remain in effect. This is the entire Agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements between you and us with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may not be changed, waived or modified except by Company posting such changes, waivers or modifications within the Services. If any employee of Company offers to modify this Agreement, he or she is not acting as an agent for Company or speaking on Company’s behalf. You may not rely, and should not act in reliance on, any statement or communication from an employee of Company or anyone else purporting to act on Company’s behalf. This Agreement is between you and Company; there are no third-party beneficiaries. You are responsible for compliance with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation United States export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any right, obligation or remedy hereunder is assignable, transferable, delegable or sublicensable by you except with Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, transfer, delegation or sublicense shall be null and void. Company may assign, transfer or delegate this Agreement or any right or obligation or remedy hereunder in its sole discretion. Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement nor liable for any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement, if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, legal notices shall be served, in the case of Company, at 5612 Jensen Street, STE J, Elmwood, Louisiana 70123, Attention: Chief Executive Officer or, in your case, to contact information you choose to provide us. Notice to you shall be deemed given 24 hours after the e‑mail is sent.
