- Disputes
Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any dispute or claim arising from or related to your use of the Site or to any products or services sold through the site will be resolved through binding arbitration in or near Denver, Colorado rather than in court. The US Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury, instead the parties (You and Us, e.g.) pay for a neutral arbitrator to hear the dispute, who must follow these Terms and a court would, and award the same relief as a court could under these Terms, including injunctions and damages. You acknowledge and agree that you and we are knowingly waiving the right to trial by a jury. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(“JAG”) under the under the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules Amended and Effective September 1,2014, available online at www.adr.org/consumer, as amended by these Terms. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAG or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
