GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement and your use of the Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Binding Arbitration

Should the parties be unable to resolve a dispute through informal negotiations, the dispute (excluding those disputes expressly excluded below) will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration. Without this clause, you would have had the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Arbitration will be initiated and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, available on the AAA website. Your fees for arbitration and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules. Arbitration can be conducted in person, through document submission, by phone, or online, producing a written decision that will not include reasoning unless requested. The arbitrator is bound by applicable law, and any award may be challenged if they fail to do so. Unless required otherwise by AAA rules or applicable law, arbitration will take place in Johnston County, North Carolina.

Should a dispute advance to court rather than arbitration for any reason, it shall be commenced in the state and federal courts of Johnston County, North Carolina. Both parties consent to this location and waive any objections to personal jurisdiction or venue. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are not applicable under these Terms of Use.

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

RESTRICTIONS

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
