14. Governing Law. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to (a) the Website; (b) these Terms and Conditions, including the interpretation or enforcement hereof; (c) any alleged breach of or default under any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any misrepresentation made in connection with the Website or these Terms and Conditions; or (d) any communication or other interaction between you and Vagabond Missions or any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group with respect to the Website or these Terms and Conditions (each, a “Dispute”) shall be governed by Pennsylvania law, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, those provisions of Section 15 relating to arbitration of any Dispute shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.
15. Resolution of Disputes; Agreement to Arbitrate; Class Action Waiver; Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. These Terms and Conditions contain a legally-binding, individual arbitration agreement, class action waiver and jury trial waiver. This means that any claim must be arbitrated on an individual basis pursuant to the terms set forth below, that claims of different persons cannot be combined or aggregated, and that you are waiving your right to file a lawsuit in court and to have a jury decide any Dispute. Please read all the provision of this Section 15 carefully and consult a legal advisor if you have any questions.
(a) Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, and except as provided in Section 16 (Equitable Relief) and Section 19 (Severability), any Dispute shall be submitted to final and binding individual arbitration in accordance with the following provisions in order to establish and gain the benefits of a speedy, impartial and cost-effective dispute resolution procedure.
(b) Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, and except as provided in Section 16 and Section 19, any Dispute shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its applicable rules (the “AAA Rules”) before a single neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by the AAA Rules, or if the Arbitrator concludes that it would be a financial or other hardship for you to participate in an arbitration in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Arbitrator shall have the authority to permit you to attend via telephone, Skype, Zoom, Facetime, other videoconference or similar virtual participation.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and notwithstanding anything else in these Terms and Conditions, you agree that any Dispute that is submitted to the Arbitrator shall be decided on an individual basis and not on a class, collective or representative basis. You further acknowledge and agree that the Arbitrator shall not have the authority or jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, collective or representative action or to join or consolidate causes of action of different parties into one proceeding.
(d) The Arbitrator may award any form of remedy or relief (including injunctive relief and specific performance) that otherwise would be available in a court. Any award pursuant to the arbitration shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the Arbitrator setting forth the reason(s) for the award. The award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon you and Vagabond Missions (and/or the other member(s) of the Vagabond Missions Group), and judgment upon the award may be entered, and enforcement may be sought, in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) Subject to the AAA Rules and the provisions of Section 17 (Prevailing Party), the arbitration fees, together with other expenses of the arbitration incurred or approved by the Arbitrator, shall be divided equally between you and Vagabond Missions.
(f) YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, EACH OF YOU AND THE MEMBERS OF THE VAGABOND MISSIONS GROUP WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE THE OTHER IN COURT AND TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE DECIDED PURSUANT TO A JURY TRIAL, BUT, BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ARE GIVING UP THAT RIGHT AND AGREEING TO RESOLVE BY ARBITRATION ANY AND ALL DISPUTES.
(g) You and Vagabond Missions hereby agree to treat as strictly confidential all information concerning any arbitration proceeding, including the pleadings, the hearing and any arbitration award, except as (i) may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits; (ii) may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, confirmation and enforcement proceedings or a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement; or (iii) otherwise required by applicable law or judicial decision. You and Vagabond Missions hereby agree that breach of this confidentiality provision would irreparably harm the non-breaching party, and further agree that any such breach shall entitle the non-breaching party to seek injunctive relief and/or compensatory damages for the breach (without the necessity of posting a bond or other security).
(h) You may elect to opt out and exclude yourself from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver specified in this Section 15 by sending to Vagabond Missions, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out Notices, PO Box 53109, Pittsburgh, PA 15219[LJM4] , for postmarking within 15 days after your first visit to the Website, a letter stating (i) your name; (ii) your mailing address; and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver. You are not required to send the letter by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, but it is recommended that you do so. Your request to be excluded will only be effective and enforceable if you are able to prove that the request was postmarked within the 15-day deadline. In the event of an effective exclusion request by you, all other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall continue to apply.
16. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15, you agree that Vagabond Missions and the other members of the Vagabond Missions Group shall have the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in the Pennsylvania state courts sitting in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, or the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, to enforce these Terms and Conditions, to prevent unauthorized disclosure or use of any confidential information of Vagabond Missions or any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group and/or to prevent infringement of any intellectual property or other rights of Vagabond Missions, any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group or any third party, without being required to post a bond or other security or to prove actual damages. In the event Vagabond Missions or any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group seeks such equitable relief in any such court, you hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court and waive all objections to such jurisdiction.
17. Prevailing Party. In the event of any Dispute, and whether such Dispute is resolved via arbitration, litigation or otherwise, the prevailing party (as that term is commonly defined by the prevailing common and/or statutory law in the applicable jurisdiction) shall be entitled to recover its costs of suit, which costs shall include, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such Dispute. In the event a party to any Dispute fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges any arbitration award or fails to comply with any arbitration award, the other party shall be entitled to recover its costs of enforcement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in having to compel arbitration or to defend or enforce the arbitration award.
18. Time Limit to File Claims. You expressly agree that, except where applicable law prescribes a shorter applicable statute of limitations or prohibits shortening the otherwise-applicable longer statute of limitations, you must file any claim or legal action of any kind arising in connection with or relating in any way to (a) the Website or any communication or other interaction between you and Vagabond Missions or any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group relating thereto; (b) these Terms and Conditions; and/or (c) any act (or failure to act) on the part of Vagabond Missions or any other member of the Vagabond Missions Group or you in connection with any of the foregoing within, in each such case, one year after the event, circumstances or other facts giving rise to such claim or legal action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the law in the applicable jurisdiction has a “discovery rule,” whereby accrual of a claim is deferred, which is applicable to one or more claims, then the applicable limitation period specified in this Section 18 shall begin running from the date of accrual of such claim or claims as determined by the law of the applicable jurisdiction. If this Section 18 is determined to be unenforceable as to any particular claim or claims under the law of the applicable jurisdiction, it nevertheless shall remain fully enforceable as to all other claims.
19. Severability.
(a) With the exception of the class action waiver in Section 15(c), which is essential to the parties’ agreement to arbitrate, if, in connection with any Dispute, any provision of these Terms and Conditions is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, that provision shall, if possible, be construed as though more narrowly drawn, if a narrower construction would avoid such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, or, if that is not possible, such provision shall, to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, be severed from these Terms and Conditions as applied to such Dispute, and the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in effect with respect to such Dispute.
(b) If, in connection with any Dispute, the class action waiver in Section 15(c) is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and such court or arbitrator determines that a valid class exists, then the entirety of the dispute resolution procedures specified in Section 15 shall be void and of no force and effect with respect to such Dispute.
20. Survival. All provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall survive any removal or other discontinuation of the Website until the expiration of the last-applicable statute of limitations.
21. Assignment. You are not permitted to assign these Terms and Conditions or assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and any such assignment or delegation shall be void and of no force or effect. Vagabond Missions has the unlimited right to assign these Terms and Conditions and/or any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder. These Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and your successors and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Vagabond Missions and its successors and assigns.
22. No Relationship with Vagabond Missions. Your use of the Website does not establish any relationship between Vagabond Missions and you, including, without limitation, that of agent and principal, employer and employee, franchisor and franchisee, joint venturers or partners.
23. Further Assurances. You agree to execute and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as Vagabond Missions may reasonably request as required for you to fully perform your obligations under these Terms and Conditions and/or to enable Vagabond Missions to fully exercise its rights and remedies hereunder.
24. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The other members of the Vagabond Missions Group are intended third-party beneficiaries of the User Feedback, disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, equitable relief, prevailing party and claim time limit provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
25. Construction. The rule of construction that ambiguities in a contract are to be construed against the drafter shall not be invoked or applied in any dispute regarding the meaning or interpretation of any provision of these Terms and Conditions.
26. Headings. The headings of the sections of these Terms and Conditions are inserted solely for convenience of reference. They are not intended to and shall not define, limit, extend or aid in the construction of the scope, extent or intent of these Terms and Conditions in any way.
