Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.- Applicable Law. These Terms will be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, United States of America, excluding its rules regarding conflicts of law. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Company must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the Northern District of Illinois, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration subsection below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Illinois for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
- Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration as provided below, the party must first send to the other party a written notice of dispute (“Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. After the Notice is received, you and Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin a judicial or an arbitration proceeding.
- Arbitration. You agree that Company may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding arbitration (including non-appearance-based arbitration), except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. In the event Company elects arbitration, you hereby agree to move any claims to the exclusive jurisdiction of an arbitration procedure, which shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association or another established alternative dispute resolution provider (collectively, “ADR”) chosen by Company. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules for non-appearance arbitration:(i) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, in which case the location of the arbitration shall be in Illinois, and (iii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
