17. Arbitration

Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes

This arbitration provision (“Arbitration Provision”) sets forth the circumstances and procedures under which Claims (defined below) that arise between you and us will be resolved through binding arbitration. This means that neither you nor we will have the right to litigate that Claim in court or have a jury trial on that Claim. Other rights that you would have in court also may not be available or may be limited in arbitration, including your right to appeal and your ability to participate in a class action. Nothing in this provision precludes you from filing and pursuing your individual Claim in a small claims court in your state or municipality, so long as that Claim is pending only in that court.

Definitions

As used in this Arbitration Provision, the term "Claim" shall mean and include any claim, dispute or controversy of every kind and nature, whether based in law or equity, between you and us arising from or relating to VMSA Network and VMS Accelerators, Inc., these Terms of Use, our Content, our Materials, our other content and features, the Site, your registration with us, your subscription with us, any store credit or store purchase, as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or the relationships resulting from any of the above agreements ("Agreements"), including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreements. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "you" and "us" also includes any corporate parent, or wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, any purchaser of any accounts, all agents, employees, officers, directors and representatives of any of the foregoing, and any third-party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with VMSA Network, VMS Accelerators, Inc., the Site, our Content, our Materials, our other content and features, your registration and/or subscription with us.

Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Administrator

Any Claim shall be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Provision and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the Claim is referred in effect at the time the Claim is filed (the "Code"), except to the extent the Code conflicts with this Agreement. Claims shall be the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). For a copy of the procedures, to file a Claim or for other information about the AAA, contact AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, www.adr.org. In addition to the AAA, Claims may be referred to any other arbitration organization that is mutually agreed upon in writing by you and us, or to an arbitration organization or arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-16, provided that any such arbitration organization and arbitrator(s) will enforce the terms of this entire Arbitration Provision.

Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions

Arbitration shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to Claims between you and us alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms of Use (including the "Continuation" provision below), and without waiving either party’s right of appeal, if any portion of this "Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions" provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration Provision (other than this sentence) shall not apply.

Arbitration Procedures

This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1- 16, as it may be amended ("FAA"), and the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall apply substantive Illinois law consistent with the FAA and applicable Illinois statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence shall not apply. Written requests to expand the scope of discovery rest within the arbitrator’s sole discretion and shall be determined pursuant to the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the written arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Subject to the right of appeal under the FAA, the arbitrator’s written decision will be final and binding unless you or we take an appeal from the award by making a dated, written request to the arbitration organization within 30 days from the date of entry of the written arbitral award. A three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization shall consider anew any aspect of the award objected to by the appellant, conduct an arbitration pursuant to its Code and issue its decision within 120 days of the date of the appellant’s written notice. The panel’s majority vote decision shall be final and binding.

Location of Arbitration/Payment of Fees

The arbitration shall be held at a location determined by the AAA pursuant to the Code (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you). Irrespective of who prevails in arbitration, you will only be responsible for paying your share, if any, of the arbitration fees required by the applicable Code, which amount shall not exceed the filing fees you would have incurred if the Claim had been brought in the appropriate state or federal court closest to your residence. We will pay the remainder of any arbitration fees. At your written request, we will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of all or part of your share of the arbitration fees. Waivers also may be available from the AAA.

Continuation

This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms of Use, your registration, your VMSA Network subscription, or the termination of this Site or our operations, and any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision, except the "Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions" provision above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision, these Terms of Use or any predecessor agreement you may have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity. If the Class Action Waiver and Other Restrictions is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor VMSA Network shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.

18. Miscellaneous

This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us and you with respect to the subject matter contained in this agreement and supersedes all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals and communications, whether written or oral. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any other provisions contained in these Terms of Use, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

This agreement is personal to you and you may not assign it to any other person. We may assign this agreement to a third-party at any time without notice to you.

However, if we assign this agreement, the Terms of Use will remain substantially and materially the same, unless such Terms of Use are changed in the manner provided in the Terms of Use.

Neither our failure to exercise any of our rights under these Terms of Use nor our delay in enforcing or exercising any of our rights shall constitute a waiver of such rights. If we waive any right under these Terms of Use on one occasion, such waiver shall not operate as a waiver as to any other occasion.

Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use are not intended to benefit any third-party, and do not create any third-party beneficiaries. Accordingly, these Terms of Use may only be invoked or enforced by you or us. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action that you may have arising out of or related to use of the Site, our store or these Terms of Use must be filed by you within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
