The following provisions survive the expiration or termination of these Terms of Use for any reason whatsoever: Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Governing Law; and Miscellaneous.
17. Governing Law; Disputes. America First is the owner of the Website and is based in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. You expressly agree that the Terms of Use, and any dispute, claim, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief between you and America First arising out of or relating to America First, and these Terms of Use (“Dispute”) shall be governed in all respects under the laws of the United States and Virginia exclusive of its choice of law or conflict of law provisions. Subject to Section 16 below, you and America First irrevocably agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Virginia for all Disputes that are heard in court. You waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to any of these courts that may have jurisdiction.
Our priority is to learn about and address any of your concerns related to the Website. You agree that you will first notify America First about any Dispute you have with America First regarding these Terms of Use or America First’s Services by contacting America First at [email protected]. Once America First receives your notice, America First will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a Dispute is not resolved within 90 days after your submission, you or America First may bring a formal proceeding as provided in Section 16 below.
18. Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
a. Arbitration. You and America First agree to submit all Disputes to confidential arbitration on an individual and purely bilateral, non-class/non-representative basis. Except for the remedies listed in Section 16(b) below, arbitration on an individual basis is the exclusive remedy for any Disputes which might otherwise be brought on a class, collective or representative basis between you and America First. This agreement to arbitrate will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 (the “FAA”) and shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
The arbitration shall take place in Virginia. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and America First shall select a mutually agreeable arbitrator from the AAA. Unless otherwise precluded by law, you and America First shall each separately pay your or its own attorneys’ fees and costs. You agree that if any provision of this arbitration agreement is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, that provision shall be struck from the agreement to arbitrate, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect consistent with applicable law. However, in the event the provisions above waiving or precluding class arbitration proceedings are found to be invalid, unenforceable, or void for any reason, the entire agreement to arbitrate shall be void.
b. Remedies. Notwithstanding the above, without limiting any other remedies that may be available to America First, if a Dispute concerns a matter for injunctive or other similar relief that is appropriate under applicable law, America First may seek such injunctive or other similar relief in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction, whether or not it is in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
19. Limitation on Disputes. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a Dispute, or you waive the right to pursue any Dispute based upon such event or facts forever.
20. Severability. If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.
21. Miscellaneous. The Terms of Use set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for reference only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms of Use does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void. There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use.
