Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision

1. General.

(a) Acceptance. These Terms of Use cover your rights to use the OPW Sites, restrictions on that use and your agreement to arbitrate any dispute that may arise between us. These Terms of Use contain a mandatory, binding arbitration clause and a waiver of class-action remedies in Section 2. By downloading, installing or using the OPW Sites, or otherwise signaling your acceptance of these Terms of Use, you accept these Terms of Use and agree that you are legally bound by its terms, including the mandatory, binding arbitration clause and class action waiver in Section 2.

(b) Modifications. WE MAY MODIFY THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING THE CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION BELOW, FROM TIME TO TIME. From time to time, OPW may update these Terms of Use by notifying you via the contact information you provided (or through other means) that it has updated the Terms of Use. As permitted by applicable law, any change, addition or deletion will become effective at the time the revised Terms of Use are published. Unless OPW states otherwise, the change, addition or deletion will apply to your future and existing uses of the website, software, or services. Unless otherwise specified in the notification, You are deemed to accept the changes, additions or deletions if: (a) you do not notify OPW to the contrary and terminate these Terms of Use within thirty (30) days of the date of OPW’s notice or such other time specified in the notice; or

(b) you use the OPW Sites after such effective date. If you do not agree with these changes, you will not be able to use the website.

2. Arbitration.

Mandatory Arbitration. For all disputes arising out of or relating in any way to the OPW Sites or this Agreement (including any dispute about arbitrability itself), you must first send a written description of your claim to OPW to allow OPW an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and OPW each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If the parties still cannot resolve the dispute you may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. Arbitration will be between OPW and the claimant individually. Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights. It provides for resolution of disputes through individual arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(a) Arbitration Procedures. For consumer claims, the individual arbitration of any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the OPW Sites shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules (https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Rules_Web_0.pdf), as modified by this Agreement. Commercial disputes shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules (https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Commercial%20Rules.pdf), as modified by this Agreement. For clarity, parties agree to delegate to the arbitrator not only substantive issues but also threshold issues such as those issues affecting the parties’ rights to litigate, and therefore disputes concerning the interpretation or enforceability of this arbitration agreement shall also be subject to arbitration under this Section. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, and the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, as well as information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. For consumer claims, the place of any arbitration shall be in the county where you reside or DuPage County, Illinois, at your election. For commercial disputes, the place of arbitration shall be DuPage County, Illinois. The individual arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither party may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

(b) Costs. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. For commercial disputes, each party will equally share all filing, administration and arbitrator fees. For proceedings under the Consumer Arbitration Rules, reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees shall be paid for by OPW.

(c) Class Action Waiver for Arbitration. You agree that any proceeding in arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

The International Sale of Goods (1980) is hereby excluded in its entirety from application to this Agreement.

(d) Time Limit for Filing Claims. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to any use of the OPW Sites or any activity related to this Agreement must be filed within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

(e) Right to Opt-Out of Arbitration. You have a right to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate in these Terms of Use by unambiguously notifying Company in writing at info@opwglobal.com, Subject: Arbitration Opt-Out, within 60 days of the date you first accepted these Terms of Use that you opt out of mandatory arbitration under these Terms of Use. Unless you validly opt out as provided in this section, the arbitration requirements in these Terms of Use will remain effective, even if this Agreement is terminated.

3. Class Action and Jury Waiver.

(a) Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver in Litigation. You agree that, if you have validly opted out of arbitration pursuant to Section 2(g), or if the arbitration agreement contained in sections 2(a) through (h) is found to be unenforceable, any claim or proceeding to be pursued in court will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You further agree that if a claim or proceeding proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and OPW each waive the right to a jury trial.

4. Severability.

Severability. If any term(s) or phrase(s) of these Terms of Use shall be found to be void or invalid as a matter of law, such term(s) or phrase(s) only will be severed, and the remainder of the paragraph or provision from which the term(s) or phrase(s) was severed and all remaining paragraphs or provisions of Terms of Use shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.
