DISPUTE RESOLUTION & CHOICE OF LAW
Any claim, controversy or dispute you may have at law or in equity against us, arising in whole or in part out of or relating in any way to your use or access of the Digital Services; these Website Terms, or the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how Disputes are resolved. You agree that whenever you have a Dispute, you will send a written notice to us (a “Demand”). You agree that the requirements of this paragraph will apply even to Disputes that may have arisen before you accepted these Terms.
You must send the Demand to the following address (the “Notice Address”):
5601 Enterprise Court
Warren, Michigan 48092
You agree that you will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding arbitration, until thirty (30) business days after you send a Demand. If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved within such time period, the Dispute (1) will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitrator”) and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Consumer Related Disputes Supplementary Procedure effective September 15, 2005 (as may be amended) and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this paragraph; (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in the place of our principle place of business at the time the arbitration is filed; (4) the Arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by these Terms and any of the other agreements referenced herein that you may have agreed or entered into; (5) the Arbitrator shall apply Michigan state law, without regard to its choice of law or conflict of law rules or principles that would result in applying the law of any other jurisdiction, consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; the arbitration can decide only your individual claims; the Arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the Arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against us or any of our franchisees or affiliates; and (8) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of AAA, 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. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be required to arbitrate their dispute. If, for any reason, the American Arbitration Association is unable or unwilling to conduct the arbitration, you may file your case with any national arbitration company that will honor the requirements set forth above.
