16. Choice of Law and Jurisdiction

The Company Sites are controlled and operated by Company from its offices within the state of Missouri, USA, United States.  Accordingly, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, USA notwithstanding its laws governing conflicts of laws.  Company makes no representation that materials on the Company Sites, the Services, or the purchase of product are appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions.  Except as hereinafter provided, any dispute arising under these Terms shall be settled and determined by binding arbitration in Denver, CO, USA in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. §§1-16, as amended (the “Federal Arbitration Act”), to the exclusion of state laws inconsistent therewith. The terms of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) then in effect shall apply except to the extent they conflict with the express provisions of this paragraph.  A single independent arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration.  The parties shall endeavor to select the independent arbitrator by mutual agreement.  If such agreement cannot be reached within thirty (30) days after a dispute has arisen which is to be decided by arbitration, the selection of the arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the Rules as then in effect.  The arbitrator shall be a member of a state bar engaged in the practice of law in the United States or a retired member of a state or the federal judiciary in the United States.  The award of the arbitrator shall be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Missouri, USA (subject to any applicable preemption or supersedence by U.S. federal substantive law) and shall contain an award for each issue and counterclaim.  The award shall be made within thirty (30) days following the close of the final hearing and the filing of any post-hearing briefs authorized by the arbitrator, and such award shall set forth in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award.  The arbitrator may, in his/her discretion, award to any party specific performance or injunctive relief (the foregoing is not intended to limit Company’s access to the courts to the extent provided below).  The arbitrator may not change, modify, or alter any express condition, term, or provision of these Terms or the extent the scope of their authority is expressly limited.  Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties and no appeal of any kind may be taken.  Judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Each party shall be entitled to inspect and obtain a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other party.  All such discovery shall be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator.  Unless otherwise provided in the award, each party shall bear its own costs of discovery.  The statute of limitations applicable under Missouri, USA law to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of arbitration hereunder.

Anything in the foregoing paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, Company may seek injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction over the parties to enjoin or prevent any action you take or threaten to take in violation of these Terms.  These Terms are only those stated herein, which shall constitute the complete agreement between the parties.  No terms and conditions stated in or attached to your communications to Company are applicable to these Terms in any way and are not to be considered your exceptions to the provisions of these Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.  If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.  No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of these Terms and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Company in any respect whatsoever.  In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, Company will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees if it substantially prevails.

All notices required hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Company may give notice to you by means of a general notice on the Company Sites or Services, electronic mail to your e-mail address on record in Company’s account information, or by written communication sent by personal delivery, fax, overnight courier, or certified or registered mail to your address on record in Company’s account information.
