Arbitration, Governing Law, and Legal Fees.
You agree that any claim or dispute in connection with: (i) the use of this site; (ii) the use and/or purchase of any of our products or services through our Involio App, website or distributed through either; (iii) or any information or content stored on our Involio App; will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except for certain small claims actions.  Arbitration means you are giving up the right to go to Court and assert any rights you may have, except for any matters that do not fall under this arbitration clause as previously mentioned. Arbitrations under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis, and class actions are not permitted.   This agreement does not allow class or collective arbitrations, or class actions, even if arbitration rules would.  The arbitration will be binding non-appearance based arbitration, and initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution provider.  The arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration laws, and more specifically will be governed by the AAA’s commercial arbitration rules, and if applicable, procedures for consumer related disputes.  Each party is to be responsible for any filing fees to commence arbitration and any costs related to the Arbitration process. For a copy of the procedures, how to file a claim, or other information about Arbitration you may contact AAA at adr.org.    Judgment on the award from the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator may also have the authority to issue any temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief if it deems equitable and is within the scope of this agreement.  The arbitration process, proceedings, and award shall be confidential and shall remain confidential.Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an action in small claims court.  Furthermore, any action involving defamation, intellectual property infringement actions, trade secret misappropriations, or violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.  Any action involving the aforementioned claims must be brought exclusively in a State or Federal Court in Maricopa County, Arizona.   The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. To summarize, both parties agree that they are waiving their right to a trial by jury and that any dispute, other than the aforementioned claims, must be submitted to binding arbitration.  NO CLASS ACTIONS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE ALLOWED AND ARE PROHBITED.
MISC.
These terms control the relationship between us and you. They do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.  You cannot assign your rights under this Agreement to anyone without our express authorization.  We reserve the right to assign or transfer our rights in this Agreement and the rights enumerated throughout, without your consent, to any ancillary or parent company of ours.  Any disputes regarding this Agreement will be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. The prevailing party in any dispute shall be entitled to their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.   If you do not comply with these terms,  and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future). If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, the term will be modified such that it is enforceable and this will not affect any other terms contained herein.
