These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and YFW concerning your use of the Website. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and YFW as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Website. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise stated in these Terms of Use, if any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid or exceed the scope of lawful authority, the parties nevertheless agree that the court or arbitrator shall endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision to the maximum extent available in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is available, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use remain in full force and effect. The section titles in these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are for convenience of reference only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation” unless otherwise expressly indicated.

XIV. Dispute Resolution

A. Mandatory Arbitration
Please read this carefully. It affects user’s rights. You and YFW and each of our legal representatives, heirs, estates, successors, and permitted assigns agree to arbitration (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court), as the exclusive form of dispute resolution except as provided for below, for all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this agreement. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration. No arbitration is required for equitable relief sought by us.

B. Commencing Arbitration
A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by user, to user via any other method available to user, including via email and text message. The notice to YFW should be addressed to [email protected]. The notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the “demand”). If the claim is not resolved within 30 days after the notice is received, then user or YFW may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes (the “rules”), as modified by this agreement. The rules and AAA forms are available at www.adr.org.

C. Arbitration Proceeding
The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial arbitrator with his or her primary place of business in Strafford County, New Hampshire will be appointed pursuant to the rules, as modified herein. The following rules will apply: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

D. No Class Actions
User may bring claims (including actions in equity) against the other only in their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings brought by user with more than one person’s or entity’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then this entire mandatory arbitration section will be null and void at YFW’s option.

E. Decision of the Arbitrator
Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this deadline by 30 days in the interests of justice. Arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all related records will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the award. The award will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the reasons for the claim’s disposition. The arbitrator will apply New York State law during the arbitration. To the extent these terms and user’s use of the service evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, the United States federal arbitration act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the mandatory arbitration clause in these terms of use/terms and conditions.

F. Equitable Relief
The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any claim in which YFW seeks equitable relief of any kind, which are cumulative and not exclusive of other rights and remedies at law and in equity and which will not require the posting of bond, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary whatsoever, YFW may seek equitable relief and associated remedies at law in any jurisdiction and venue in which such relief is desired.

G. Claims
Notwithstanding any other rights a party may have under law or equity, any cause of action a user may have arising out of or related to this agreement must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, the cause of action is permanently barred.

H. Improperly Filed Claims
All claims user brings against YFW must be resolved in accordance with this section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this section will be considered improperly filed. Should user file a claim contrary to this section, YFW may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $10,000, provided that YFW has notified user in writing of the improperly filed claim, and user has failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

I. Enforceability
If the arbitration provisions of this section or the entirety of this section (excluding this paragraph) is found to be unenforceable, then, at YFW’s sole option, the entirety of this section will be null and void (excluding this paragraph) and, in which case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of Strafford County in the State of New Hampshire will govern any action arising out of or related to this agreement other than equitable action and associated remedies at law sought by YFW . Any other provisions of this agreement which are invalid in their entirety are severable.

XV. Governing Law; Choice of Forum
The laws of the State of New Hampshire, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern these Terms of Use and your use of the Website. Your use of the Website may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws; provided, however, that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any provision of these Terms of Use. To the extent that any action relating to any dispute hereunder is required to be brought in a court of law, subject to the exceptions stated herein, it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Strafford County, New Hampshire and you hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction, and waive any defense of inconvenient forum.
