Governing Law; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Use and any Dispute (defined below) arising from or related to the Services (in each case, including non-contractual Disputes), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdiction).

"Dispute" means any claim or controversy between you and us, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory. "Dispute" also means any dispute, claim or controversy concerning the validity, enforceability and scope of this Arbitration Clause, including issues of arbitrability. You agree that the transaction between you and us concerns interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), not state arbitration law, governs the ability to arbitrate any Disputes.

If a Dispute arises, the parties agree to submit the Dispute to a binding arbitration by a single arbitrator at a mutually convenient location, selected by us, that is within 100 miles of your residence address in the contiguous United States or in such other mutually convenient location within the contiguous United States if your residence address is located outside of the contiguous United States.

Both parties expressly waive the right to sue in any court (except small claims court in the circumstances addressed below) and have a jury trial. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, both parties reserve the right to bring appropriate, individual claims in small claims court instead of submitting such disputes to binding arbitration.

The right to appeal is more limited in arbitration than in court and other rights available in court, such as rights relating to information gathering, may be unavailable or limited in arbitration.

Class Action Waiver
ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY NAMED. THERE WILL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS-ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR ON ANY BASIS INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC (SUCH AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL), OTHER USERS OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED.

Arbitration Administrator:
An Arbitration Administrator (“Administrator”) will consider and resolve any Dispute between you and us in accordance with this Arbitration Clause.  The Administrator will be one of the following: (1) TBDwww.jamsadr.com, 1-800-352-5267; or (2) if JAMS is unable or unwilling to serve as Administrator, a neutral and impartial arbitrator mutually acceptable to you and us.

If you and we cannot agree on an Administrator, you and we agree that a court may appoint the Administrator a court in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 through 16.  However, if a company adopts or has in place formal or informal policies that are inconsistent with and purport to override the terms of this Arbitration Clause, that company may not serve as Administrator absent your and our consent.

The rules and forms for JAMS may be obtained by writing to JAMS at the addresses listed above.

Arbitration Procedures
The party submitting the Dispute to arbitration shall notify the other party in writing.  We will notify you by sending notice to the latest address we have in our files.  You may notify us by sending notice to:  ATTN: Arbitration Notice DYU,Inc, P.O. Box 1088, Homewood, Illinois 60430.

The party submitting the Dispute to arbitration shall, as described above and in accordance with this Arbitration Clause, select an Administrator.  The Administrator will resolve the Dispute under this Arbitration Clause and, to the extent consistent with this Arbitration Clause, the applicable rules of the Administrator then in effect.

A single arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator and, unless you and weagree otherwise, the arbitrator must be a practicing attorney with 10 or more years of experience or a retired judge. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court nor by state or local laws that relate to arbitration provisions or proceedings.

The arbitrator will honor and enforce statutes of limitation (subject to the limitation described below) and claims of privilege recognized under applicable law. In determining liability and/or awarding damages or other relief, the arbitrator will follow the applicable substantive law (consistent with these terms of useand the FAA) that would apply if the matter had been brought in court. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies permitted by applicable law.  The arbitrator will write a brief explanation of the grounds for the decision.  A judgment on the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction.

For any Disputes that total less than $75,000.00 and at your written request, the parties will share the arbitration costs of all filings, hearing and other fees that JAMS or the arbitrator charges the parties for the Dispute equally to the extent that those fees exceed the lesser fee, if any, for filing a claim in state or federal court in the judicial district in which you reside.  If you file a claim in state or federal court prior to initiating arbitration, you will not be required to pay any fees for arbitration if the dispute totals less than $75,000 and you submit a written request to DYU to pay the fees.  JAMS may allow you to seek a waiver of any fees for the arbitration.  We will always pay any fees or expenses that are required to enforce this Arbitration Clause or that the law or JAMS’s rules require us to pay.

You acknowledge that participating in arbitration may result in limited discovery. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will, if requested, take reasonable steps to protect your personal information and our information from disclosure outside of the arbitration proceeding.

If any portion of this Arbitration Clause (other than the class action waiver) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be severed from this Arbitration Clause, and the remainder of the Arbitration Clause will be given full force and effect. If the class action waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this Arbitration Clause will be unenforceable in its totality, and the Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in Portland, Oregon.

Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Waiver; Severability and Other Terms
No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure by us to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use and your use of the Services to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
