Disputes Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
If a dispute arises between you and SHO, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns. You agree that you will notify SHO about any dispute you have with SHO regarding these Terms and Conditions.
For any questions or claims, please contact SHO.
SHO may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information and intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Subject this section, you and SHO agree that, except for small claims court, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to SHO, including, without limitation, our products, our website, your account(s), promotional offers, user interfaces, our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices generally, these Terms and Conditions, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.
Further, you agree that the arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. You also waive your right to any form of appeal, review or recourse to any court or other judicial authority, insofar as such waiver may be validly made. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Products.
You must first present any claim or dispute to SHO, by certified mail, a written Notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to SHO should be addressed to SHO Legal Department, 1401 Interstate Dr., Suites B, Champaign, IL, 61822, USA. ("Notice Address").
If SHO elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the address used for your membership account. A Notice, whether sent by you or by SHO, must (a) provide name, mailing address and email address of the party, (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (c) state the requesting relief. Following receipt of the Notice, we each agree to negotiate with each other in good faith about the claim provided in the Notice. If we do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice, you or we may commence arbitration.
The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the then current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this Agreement. The place of any arbitration will be Alameda County, California, USA, and will be conducted in the English language. Claims will be heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, award punitive or consequential damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, or order injunctive or declaratory relief, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute.
Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor SHO nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to this arbitration clause to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general).
All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and SHO. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration hearing.
THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
Miscellaneous
SHO reserves the right to make changes to these Terms. We'll post notice of modifications to these Terms on this page. You should ensure that you have read and agree with our most recent Terms when you use the Services. Continued use of the Services following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the revised Terms.
If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions will remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without SHO’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer this Agreement, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. SHO may assign or transfer this Agreement, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
All matters relating to Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in or for Alameda County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes, unless such claim or dispute is required to be arbitrated as set forth in an above section.
Failure or delay by SHO to enforce any these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our rights against you and does not affect our right to require future performance thereof.
