MISCELLANEOUS & GOVERNING LAW

If any provision in this Contract is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, then such provision shall be construed as nearly as possible to correspond with Company’s intentions and without prejudice to Company as the drafter and the remaining provisions in the Contract shall remain unaffected. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Contract shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, unless previously and explicitly agreed to by us in writing. The section titles in this Contract are solely used for convenience and have no independent legal significance. This Contract may be assigned in whole or in part by us, but this Contract may not be assigned by you. This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, notwithstanding any conflict of laws provisions or rules. You unequivocally, irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota for any litigation or dispute arising out of relating to this Contract; (ii) agree to waive a trial by jury; (iii) agree not to commence any litigation arising out of relating to this Contract in any other jurisdiction; and (iv) agree not to plead or claim that such litigation is being brought in an inconvenient forum.

ACCESS OR DELIVERY TO MOBILE NETWORK IS NOT GUARANTEED

Delivery of information and content to a mobile device may fail due to a variety of circumstances or conditions.  You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of our control and we are not responsible or liable for issues arising from them.

ELIGIBILITY

To receive our text messages, you must be a resident of the United States and 18 years of age or older.  Company reserves the right to require you to prove that you are at least 18 years of age.

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read this carefully.  It affects your rights.  Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site or Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than litigation of such dispute or claim in a court of law.

This Section of the Company’s  Mobile Terms and Conditions regarding arbitration is intended to be broadly interpreted, and expressly includes claims brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory.  You and Company hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (“FAA”) applies to these Mobile Terms and Conditions, and governs all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.  Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the arbitration (the “AAA’s Rules”).  However, just as a court would, the arbitrator or arbitrators must honor the terms and limitations in these Mobile Terms and Conditions, and can award damages and relief (including any attorneys’ fees) authorized by law and/or the AAA’s Rules.  The arbitration decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA WOULD.  RATHER, YOU AND WE ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, BILATERAL BASIS.  FURTHER, AND UNLESS YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. You and the Company  are each responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration.  The Company, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other AAA case management fees, for any claim seeking $75,000 or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous.  Otherwise, the AAA’s Rules regarding costs and payment apply. This agreement to arbitrate  does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

If any term of this Section (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term.  If application of this Severability provision should materially and adversely affect the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, the party adversely impacted shall be entitled to compensation for such adverse impact, provided the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability of a term is not due to serious misconduct by the party seeking such compensation.
