Arbitration Agreement.

Please read the following Arbitration Agreement carefully. It requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with AeroFarms and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. Both you and AeroFarms acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use, AeroFarms officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms of Use, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you as the third party beneficiary hereof. Any arbitration under these Terms of Use will take place on an individual basis: class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND AEROFARMS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, AeroFarms shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.(b) Costs of Arbitration. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND AEROFARMS WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and AeroFarms are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and AeroFarms over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND AEROFARMS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(d) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (f) below.

(e) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out either by email at [email protected] or by mail, postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Use to the following address: 1526 Cane Creek Parkway, Ringgold, VA 24586 Attention: AeroFarms Legal. Your notice (whether submitted via email or via mail) must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account (if applicable); and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms of Use’s arbitration agreement.

(f) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (e), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or AeroFarms to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and both you and AeroFarms agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

(g) Miscellaneous. You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with the Website or service offered through the Website, provided that AeroFarms may, in its sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on your behalf or for itself as it sees fit. The failure of either you or us to exercise, in any way, any right herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated, to the minimum extent necessary, so that these Terms of Use shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. You and AeroFarms agree that these Terms of Use are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding between you and AeroFarms, and that these Terms of Use supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Use. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee, agent, partner, or joint venture of AeroFarms, and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind AeroFarms in any respect whatsoever.

 

Governing Law; Legal Jurisdiction

If you make any claim against AeroFarms or any other AeroFarms Party, you agree in advance that in the event you assert any such claim, it will be governed by the following rules:

  • All aspects of the claim, whether procedural or substantive, shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, except conflicts of laws that would cause another jurisdiction’s laws to apply and unless the dispute is governed by federal law other than federal law governing conflicts of law, in which case federal law shall govern.
  • Prior to commencing any legal action against any AeroFarms Party, you must provide each such AeroFarms Party with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any claim, including a reasonably detailed description of your claim and such AeroFarms Party’s responsibility, together with your request for what you would like such AeroFarms Party to do about your claim.
  • The statute of limitations applicable to any claim other than a claim for personal injuries shall be one (1) year, measured from the date you first visited the Website.
  • You agree that any legal action brought by you, or on your behalf, shall be exclusively venued in in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “Agreed Forums”).You agree that in the event that you initiate any legal action in any other court or forum, or in the event that an action is commenced on your behalf in any other forum, such action shall be transferred to one of the Agreed Forums.
  • You waive any claim that the Agreed Forums are inconvenient and agree to forego any claim to transfer the venue for dispute resolution.
  • You agree to bring any claim individually and not through any class action.
  • To the extent that it may be relevant, you agree that your use of the Website and any transaction arising in connection with such use shall be deemed to have occurred in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitration tribunal or a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the other terms of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. You cannot transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use to anyone without AeroFarms written permission and any attempted assignment without AeroFarms written permission shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. AeroFarms failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use does not waive AeroFarms right to enforce the same provision in the future. Any headings contained in these Terms of Use are for informational purposes only but are not themselves enforceable provisions of these Terms of Use.
