Governing Law

These Terms of Use and your use of this Site shall be governed by and construed for both substantive and procedural purposes in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, U.S.A., without giving effect to any principles of any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Michigan or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Michigan to apply.

Timing of Claims

Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to this Site (including, but not limited to, the purchase of any products and/or services) must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.

Arbitration and Venue

Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to, or use of, this Site shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Dearborn, Michigan, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court, and you consent to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under these Terms of Use shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and before a single arbitrator.

Ultimately, the selected arbitrator must have expertise in the subject matter of the dispute. If not otherwise decided by the arbitrator, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from the non-prevailing party. The arbitration shall be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of either giving notice or filing a demand to arbitrate with the American Arbitration Association (whichever shall first occur).

Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms of Use shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms of Use, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one (1) person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Miscellaneous

The division of these Terms of Use into sections and the headings of the various sections in these Terms of Use are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that any principle of construction or rule of law that provides that an agreement shall be construed against the drafter of the agreement in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity in such agreement shall not apply to these Terms of Use. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these Terms of Use. We may assign our rights and duties under these Terms of Use to any party at any time without notice to you and without your express consent. You will not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations under these Terms of Use without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment or delegation relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms of Use. There shall be no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms of Use. Any provision of these Terms of Use that contemplates performance or observance subsequent to any expiration or termination of these Terms of Use, or which is otherwise necessary to interpret the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall survive any expiration or termination of these Terms of Use and continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be held unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and all other documents incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety any and all written or oral agreements previously existing between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
