Most of Your questions and concerns can be addressed by contacting Us at GlobalComplianceOfficer@thewarrantygroup.com. A. For any dispute with TWG or its affiliates, any Service Contract provider, obligor, administrator or third party vendor accessed through this Site, you agree to first contact Us and attempt to resolve the dispute with Us informally. In the event We cannot resolve the dispute, YOU AND WE AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF THROUGH COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU AND WE AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGS. This Arbitration Agreement (the “Agreement.”) shall survive the termination of the Terms and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This Agreement. shall be interpreted broadly, and it includes any dispute You have with Us that arises out of or relates in any way to the Site or to Your relationship with Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise. However, this Agreement. does not preclude You from bringing an individual action against Us in small claims court or from informing any federal, state or local agencies of Your dispute. Such agencies may be able to seek relief on Your behalf. B. To initiate arbitration, send a written Notice of Claim by certified mail to: Legal Department, 175 W. Jackson, Suite 1100, Chicago, IL 60604. The Notice must describe the dispute and the relief sought. If We do not resolve the dispute within 30 days of receipt of the Notice, You may start an arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). You can contact the AAA and obtain a free copy of the rules and forms necessary to start an arbitration proceeding at www.adr.org or 1-800-778-7879. We will reimburse You for a filing fee paid to the AAA, and if You are unable to pay a filing fee, We will pay it if You send a written request by certified mail to the Legal Department. C. The arbitration shall be administered by the AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) in effect at the time the arbitration is started and as modified by this Agreement+. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. and shall decide all issues, with the exception that issues relating to the enforceability of this Agreement. may be decided by a court. If Your dispute is for $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted by submitting documents to the arbitrator, unless You request an in-person or telephonic hearing or the arbitrator decides a hearing is necessary. If Your dispute is for more than $25,000, Your right to a hearing will be determined by the Rules. Unless otherwise agreed, any hearing will take place in the county/parish of Your mailing address. We will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration, unless Your dispute is found by the arbitrator to have been frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). In that case, the Rules govern payment of such fees. D. The arbitrator shall issue a decision including the facts and law upon which his/her decision is based. If the arbitrator finds in Your favor and issues a damages award that is greater than the value of the last settlement offer made by Us or if We made no settlement offer, and the arbitrator awards You any damages, We will: (1) pay You the amount of the award or $2,000, whichever is greater; and (2) pay Your attorney, if any, the attorney's fees and expenses reasonably incurred by him/her in the arbitration. While that right to attorney’s fees/expenses is in addition to any right You may have under applicable law, neither You nor Your attorney may recover duplicate awards of attorney’s fees/expenses. We hereby waive any right We may have under applicable law to recover attorney’s fees/expenses from You if We prevail in the arbitration. E. If You or We seek declaratory or injunctive relief, that relief can be awarded only to the extent necessary to provide You or Us relief. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless You and We agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate Your dispute with the dispute of any other person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision of this Agreement. is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement is null and void.
Any claim related to the Site or in connection with any product registered or purchased through this Site, shall be brought within one year of the events giving rise to the claim. Failure to assert any such claim during that one-year period results in the claim being forever waived and barred.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it should be modified to the extent possible to make it valid or enforceable without losing its intent and purpose. If no such modification is possible, the provision should be severed from the Terms. Any failure to enforce a provision of the Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that provision.
The Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between You and Us with respect to the Site and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements.
