Copyright, Trademarks, and Other Intellectual Property
You acknowledge that the Sites and all materials on the Sites, including without limitation the Sites’ design, text, graphics, sounds, pictures, software and other files, its look and feel, and the selection, arrangement and coordination thereof (collectively, “Materials”) are our property and are subject to and protected by United States and international copyright or other intellectual property laws and rights. The trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, and logos contained on the Sites, including without limitation trademarks registered in the United States (collectively, “Marks”) are the sole property of Nutricion or its affiliates. In addition all page headers, custom graphics and custom icons are Marks of Nutricion. Nutricion grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Materials and Marks only in the manner permitted by Nutricion for your personal and non-commercial use only (the “License”). You agree not to copy, modify, use, distribute, transmit, republish, sell, resell or exploit, for any purpose, any portion of the Sites, Materials or Marks other than as expressly authorized by Nutricion in writing. This License remains in effect until these Terms are terminated by either you or us in accordance with these Terms. Any unauthorized use of the Materials or Marks shall be grounds for termination of the License. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Nutricion and its licensors. Other copyrights, trademarks, product names, company names, logos or intellectual property are the property of the respective owners with all rights reserved. Site references to third parties or their copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property do not constitute or imply affiliation with, endorsement, or recommendation of Nutricion by the respective trademark owners, or by Nutricion of the respective trademark owners.
Agreement
These Terms constitute the only agreement between us and you with respect to the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of these Terms.
Severability; Interpretation
If any provision of these Terms are deemed void, unlawful, or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, that provision will be severed from these Terms and the remainder of these Terms will remain in force. When used in these Terms, the term “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Individual Arbitration; Waiver of Jury Trial; Class Waiver
All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law.
The Parties further agree that the following agreement to arbitrate is part of an agreement made in interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and that on questions of the construction, validity, enforcement, or interpretation of the agreement to arbitrate, the FAA shall control.
You and Nutricion agree to arbitrate, on an individual basis, any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms, including but not limited to claims based on contract, tort, negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions. It is expressly intended that the Nutricion Entities shall have the ability to enforce this arbitration agreement. EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP (WAIVING) ITS RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE HEAR BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
YOU AND NUTRICION EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM, OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALSO APPLIES TO THRESHOLD ARBITRABILITY ISSUES, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATED TO WHETHER THESE TERMS ARE UNCONSCIONABLE OR ILLUSORY AND ANY DEFENSE TO ARBITRATION.
THE PARTIES ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN YOUR AND OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, NOT AS A CLASS, PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF ANY PORTION OF THIS CLASS WAIVER PROVISION IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, IT SHALL NOT BE SEVERED, AND THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION SHALL BE UNENFORCEABLE.
The mutual promise by you and Nutricion to arbitrate any and all disputes, and to do so on an individual basis, rather than to litigate before the courts or other bodies, provides the mutual consideration for this agreement to arbitrate.
Either Party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other Party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other Party of the substance of such claims, and a demand to arbitrate those claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Unless you and the Nutricion Entities otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (available on line at www.adr.org or upon request from Nutricion’s Customer Service, below) or, if those rules are no longer available, the applicable rules selected by the arbitrator; provided, however, that no rules permitting class, collective, or other representative arbitrations shall be used. In the event of any conflict between this agreement to arbitrate and the rules governing the arbitration, the terms of this agreement to arbitrate shall control.
The Parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing, and at their own costs. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or to issue injunctive or other equitable relief. The arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
Miscellaneous
You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
The failure of Nutricion to enforce your strict performance of any term of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such term and will not be considered a waiver or limit that party’s right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of these Terms. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to the use of the Sites or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or such claim or cause of action will be permanently barred. The “Liability Disclaimer” provisions of these Terms are for the benefit of Nutricion Entities as defined herein, and each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce these provisions directly against your on its own behalf.
