15. Dispute resolution 

15.1 Informal resolution first 

Before starting formal proceedings, contact us at legal@golfwire.com with a description of the dispute. Both parties agree to attempt resolution directly for 60 days. 

Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver for United States residents: 

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. 

Application: You and Golfwire.com agree these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below. 

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resorting to arbitration. Before taking any formal action, you shall contact us at legal@golfwire.com and provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information (including your username, if your dispute relates to an account). Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with Golfwire.com, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. 

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of 60 days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ formation, performance, and breach) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures dependent on claim amount in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. 

Arbitrator’s Powers: The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

Filing a Demand: To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) contact JAMS and follow the appropriate procedures with JAMS to commence the arbitration (c) send a Demand for Arbitration to us at: legal@golfwire.com . Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’ applicable consumer rules. The parties shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration, unless they are authorized by law or the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose or in bad faith. 

You and we understand, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, you and we would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You and we further understand, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. If you are a resident of the United States, you and we both agree to arbitration in in City of Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in City of Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, and you and Golfwire.com agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. 

Class action waiver: You and we agree arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and we expressly waive the right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND GOLFWIRE.COM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and you and we shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. 

Exception. Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, you or we may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations, or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy, or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). You and we may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of such jurisdiction. 

30-Day Right To Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@Golfwire.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT OUT.” The notice must be sent within 30 days of (a) the effective date of these Terms; or (b) your first date that you used the Services that contained any versions of the Terms that included this version of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver, whichever is later. Otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Golfwire.com also will not be bound by them. 

Changes to this Section: If we make any changes to this section, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to legal@Golfwire.com. It is not necessary to send us a rejection of a future change to the Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section of these Terms if you had properly opted out of this Section within the first 30 days after you first accepted these Terms. If you have not properly opted out of this Section after such first 30 days, by rejecting a future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration provision, as modified by any changes you did not reject. This notification affects these Terms only; if you previously entered into other arbitration agreements with us or enter into other such agreements in the future, your notification that you are opting out of the arbitration provision in these Terms shall not affect the other arbitration agreements between you and us. 

Survival: This Agreement shall survive any termination of your use of the Services. 

16. Governing law, venue and applicable law: This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any claim that is not subject to arbitration under Section 15, and any action to compel arbitration or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on an arbitration award, shall be filed in state or federal court in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such court. 

17. General 

•     Entire agreement: these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us regarding the Services. 

•     Severability: if any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. 

•     No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
