7. Dispute Resolution.
   1. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND SHOPHQ EACH AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON A BILATERAL (INDIVIDUAL) BASIS. You and ShopHQ agree that any dispute, controversy or claim between you and ShopHQ which cannot be settled through the customer service department refunding your payments in full (if applicable) and which arises out of or relates to (i) these Terms; (ii) any aspect of your relationship with ShopHQ, including the Site or the Program; (iii) any Site content and\or Submissions; or (iv) ShopHQ's marketing efforts, including complaints concerning unsolicited text messages, emails, push notifications, and telemarketing calls, irrespective of whether the dispute, controversy or claim arose after the termination of the relationship between you and ShopHQ and/or the Program (collectively, "Claims"), shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes Claims based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. You understand and agree that you are waiving your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights; provided, however, either you or ShopHQ may bring an individual lawsuit in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply. The arbitrator's decision and award are final and binding, with only those exceptions provided under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq. (“FAA”), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
   2. Class Action Waiver. ShopHQ and you each agree that each and both of the Parties are waiving the right to a trial by jury and may bring Claims against the other party only in an individual capacity and not in a class action or representative or collective proceeding. All arbitrations under this Arbitration Agreement shall be conducted on an individual (and not a class-wide or collective) basis. You acknowledge and agree that these Program Terms specifically prohibit you from commencing any legal proceedings as a representative of others or joining in any arbitration proceedings brought by any other person ("Class Action Waiver"). If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
   3. Informal Dispute Resolution Requirement. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the Claim and setting forth the specific relief sought. All notices to ShopHQ shall be sent to the following address: ShopHQ, Legal Department, 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. All notices sent by ShopHQ to you will be sent to the email and/or mailing address provided in your ShopHQ Account. Upon receipt of such notice, the other Party shall have a sixty (60) day period in which it may satisfy the Claim against it by fully curing the Claim and/or providing all the relief requested in the notice, and/or entering into a settlement to resolve the Claim to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties. After the expiration of such sixty (60) day period, you or ShopHQ may commence an arbitration proceeding. Both you and ShopHQ agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
   4. Right to Opt Out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first 30 days after the earliest of the first time you (a) make a purchase from ShopHQ; or (b) sign up for any Program or service provided by ShopHQ. You may also opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after we provide notice of a material change to this Arbitration Agreement. (Please see These Program Terms May Change, above.) You may opt out by sending an email to [email protected] or by sending a letter to ShopHQ, Legal Department, 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344. You should include your printed name, mailing address, and the words “Reject Arbitration.”
   5. Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration of any Claim under this Agreement shall be referred to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. These rules and procedures, including information on how to initiate arbitration, are available by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879 or by visiting its website (www.adr.org). Unless you and ShopHQ agree otherwise, including to conduct arbitration by telephone or videoconference, the arbitration of any Claim shall be conducted in the State in which you reside, and ShopHQ will: (1) pay all costs of the arbitration; and (2) not seek attorney's fees in the event ShopHQ prevails. Each party shall pay the fees and costs of its own counsel, experts and witnesses.
   6. Governing Law and Other Terms. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the FAA and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to Claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the State of Minnesota, will govern. ShopHQ will provide notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. (Please see These Program Terms May Change, above.) Except as set forth above regarding the Class Action Waiver provision, if a court decides that any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, such determination will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class action/representative waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver.
8. Miscellaneous. These Terms and policies incorporated herein are the entire agreement between you and us relating to your use of the Site or the Programs and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us relating to your use of the Site or the Programs. Our failure to partially or fully exercise any rights, shall not prevent our subsequent exercise of such right or be deemed a waiver by us of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. Our rights and remedies under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and us shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit our right to exercise any other right or remedy. We reserve the right to seek all remedies available to us at law and in equity for violations of any of these Terms, including, without limitation, by suspending or blocking your access to your Membership and Program account, or terminating your Membership or participation in any or all Programs. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. If and to the extent that there is any conflict among or between the Site (including any Site webpages), or Program marketing, promotion, communication or descriptive materials and these Terms, the language in these Terms will control. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
9. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
