- 11. Governing Law and Claims
These Terms of Use, the interpretation of these Terms, and any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms, the Site or any Service, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. You further agree to submit to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts sitting in Suffolk County, Massachusetts for any and all disputes, claims and actions arising from or in connection with the Services and/or these Terms of Use. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of MungoList.com’s Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
- 12. Arbitration
By using this Site, you agree that (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against MungoList.com arising out of, relating to, or connected in any with these Terms, the use of this site, to the Services provided by MungoList.com, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend MungoList.com is liable, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable commercial Rules and Procedures established by the AAA (“Rules and Procedures“); (2) the arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts, or at such other location relatively close in proximity to Boston, Massachusetts as may be mutually agreed upon by you and MungoList.com; (3) the arbitrator shall apply Massachusetts law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (4) the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules or from a list of arbitrators provided by MungoList.com; (5) filing and other non-award costs will be paid for, in equal shares, by both parties except that the fee to the arbitrator will be paid by the non-prevailing party; (6) if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein; and (7) any gaps left in the process due to severed rules shall be resolved at the discretion of the selected arbitrator.
Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction in Boston, Massachusetts or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND MUNGOLIST.COM WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. You are entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using MungoList.com’s Services, you consent to these restrictions. Should a dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and MungoList.com, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Boston, Massachusetts. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.
For more information on AAA and its Rules and Procedures, you may visit the AAA website at www.adr.org. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall preclude MungoList.com from obtaining from a court of law a stay or other injunctive or other equitable relief.
