  3. The parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction in, and only in, Florida.
  4. The parties agree to exclusive venue in, and only in, Franklin County, Florida.

  6. All parties hereby waive any right to assert objections to venue with respect to any litigation permitted under this Agreement.
  7. All parties stipulate that the courts located in Florida shall have personal jurisdiction over them for the purpose of any litigation permitted under this Agreement that is not otherwise subject to the arbitration provisions, infra.

  10. Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide an aggrieved party with full compensation in the event of the other party’s breach, and that in any litigation permitted under this Agreement, an aggrieved party shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.
  11. A party to this Agreement must bring any claim that party may have against the other party that arises out of these terms of this Agreement or the Site within one (1) year after the claim arises.

  1. Arbitration Provisions
  1. If there is a dispute between the parties arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute.  If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute through direct negotiations, then, except as otherwise provided herein, either party must submit the issue to binding arbitration in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Arbitral Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract and tort claims of all kinds, and all claims based on any federal, state or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims by us for intellectual property violations, actions for injunctions, attachment, garnishment, and other equitable relief.  The arbitration shall be confidential.  The arbitration shall be conducted in Franklin County, Florida, and conducted by a single arbitrator, knowledgeable in Internet and e-Commerce disputes.  The Arbitrator shall be willing to execute an oath of neutrality.
  2. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages; certify a class action; add any parties; vary or ignore the provisions of this Agreement; and shall be bound by governing and applicable law.  The Arbitrator shall render a written opinion setting forth all material facts and the basis of his or her decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO ARBITRAL CLAIMS.
  3. There shall be no waiver of the right to arbitration unless such waiver is provided affirmatively and in writing by the waiving party to the other party.  There shall be no implied waiver of this right to arbitration.  No acts, including the filing of litigation, shall be construed as a waiver or a repudiation of the right to arbitrate.
  1. Miscellaneous Provisions
  1. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by us shall constitute the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Services.  If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect.  No waiver of any term of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and the failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  VayK Gear reserves the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use for any changes.  If we change anything in this Agreement, we will modify the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.  Your use of the Services following any amendment of these Terms of Use will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.  YOU AND VAYK GEAR AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
  2. The rights and liabilities of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective assignees, successors, executors, and administrators, as the case may be.
  3. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction or an Arbitrator finds any provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
  4. No waiver or action made by us shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent default of the same provision of this Agreement.  If any term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement.
  5. We have written this Agreement and our associated Site policies in the English language.  You are representing your understanding and assent to the English language version of this Agreement as it is published.  We are not liable to you or any third-party for any costs or expenses incurred in translating this Agreement.  In the event that you choose to translate this Agreement, you do so at your own risk, as only the English language version is binding.
  6. All headings are solely for the convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.
