Governing Law

By accessing the Service, you agree that the laws of the United States and the state of Florida, without regard to conflicts of laws principles, will apply to all matters relating to the Service.

You hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of said courts and consent to service of process by email in any legal proceeding.

Arbitration of All Claims on an Individual Basis.

You and Choose-Stuff.com agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between You and Choose-Stuff.com that relate in any way to the Service shall be resolved through confidential, final and binding arbitration rather than in court, with the exception of any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

If a dispute arises between You and Choose-Stuff.com, we want to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Please contact us regarding any issues.

UNLESS YOU AND CHOOSE-STUFF.COM AGREE OTHERWISE, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. ALSO, TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE DAMAGE LIMITATIONS DISCUSSED HEREIN, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF, THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF.

If a court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section shall still apply. Specifically, if a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or a particular request for a remedy (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim or that remedy request (and only that claim or that remedy request) may be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to Your and Choose-Stuff.com’s right to appeal the court’s decision. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and held in Florida or any another mutually agreed location.

The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAM’s rules which are publicly available on JAMS’s website at https://www.jamsadr.com/.

The failure of Choose-Stuff.com to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
