Chamberlain may update these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the System after the effective date of any change indicates your agreement to all changes.
18. Enforcement.
These Terms will be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to choice of law principles. The parties hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of state and federal courts situated in Cook County, Illinois. [Chamberlain may in its sole discretion waive such right in the event of your extreme personal hardship.]
You agree that if any Dispute (as defined below) arises hereunder or relates, directly or indirectly to the use of the System, either you or Chamberlain may require, upon written notice, that the Dispute be arbitrated, in which case it is agreed that any court proceedings will be immediately stayed and the parties shall, as a mandatory matter, submit the Dispute to binding arbitration by a single arbitrator under the “Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes” of the American Arbitration Association then in effect, in Chicago, Illinois. (More information about the AAA can be found at www.adr.org.)
A “Dispute” is any controversy or claim that relates in any way to the System, software, firmware or Mile Apps, the Device, or otherwise relates, directly or indirectly, to these Terms, and issues regarding whether a matter is subject to arbitration under these provisions.
If for any reason the AAA cannot hear the Dispute in Chicago, you agree to proceed before any mutually-agreed arbitrator or, if unable to agree, before an arbitrator appointed by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Each party will be entitled to one substitution of arbitrator, without cause, as a matter of right.
YOU AGREE THAT
• ANY CLAIM WILL BE BROUGHT (IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE) ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING,
• YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION RELATING IN ANY WAY TO A DISPUTE, AND
• IF, FOR ANY REASON, THE MATTER DOES NOT PROCEED IN ARBITRATION, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND AGREE TO HAVE SUCH MATTER TRIED BY A COURT WITHOUT A JURY.
Each party will continue to have the following rights: 1) right to file for bankruptcy in court; 2) right to take legal action to enforce the arbitrator’s decision; and 3) right to request that a court of law review whether the arbitrator exceeded its authority.
The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding on all parties to the arbitration. Either party may enter judgment on the award in any court. Nothing in these Terms will give the arbitrator any authority, power, or right to alter, change, amend, modify, add to, or subtract from the provisions of these Terms. The parties agree that this provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §1 et seq.
19. Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of these Terms. The parties intend that all disclaimers of warranties, limitations of liability, and exclusions of damages in these Terms will be upheld and applied to the maximum extent permitted by law.
20. Contact Us. Any questions, complaints or claims regarding these Terms or the System should be directed to Chamberlain at the Contact Us section of http://arq.chamberlain.com.
21. Language. You agree that non-English versions of this agreement are merely made available by Chamberlain as a convenience and that English language version is the only official version. If the English version and a version in any other language conflict, the English version governs.
The words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. Examples used in these Terms are for illustrative purposes only and shall not be construed as limiting the scope of any term
