Any dispute between COMPANY and you or any other person arising from, in connection with or relating to the SITE, the SERVICE, the Agreement, any transaction through the SITE or any related matters is subject to the following dispute resolution provisions, and you hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the original, personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts within the state of New Jersey for such purposes.
Any claim or cause of action that you may have arising from, in connection with, or relating to your use of the SITE, the SERVICE, the Agreement, or any related matters must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises, after which time the claim or cause of action is forever barred, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.

If the claim or controversy exceeds $5,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons upon which the award is based.

Any of the unauthorized uses referred to above would constitute an infringement of the copyrights and other proprietary rights of COMPANY, its affiliates, and/or their licensors and a violation of the Agreement, and may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability under applicable laws.
DMCA PROCEDURE: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material, images or content appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

There can be penalties for making false claims under the DMCA.
PERSONAL INFORMATION SUBMISSIONS: As referenced above, all PERSONAL INFORMATION that you provide through the SERVICE must be true, accurate, current and complete. Because COMPANY will rely on the information that you provide, you will be responsible for any and all loss, damage, or additional costs that you, COMPANY or others may incur as a result of your submission of any false, incorrect or incomplete PERSONAL INFORMATION.

MISCELLANEOUS: If any provision of the Agreement is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severed from the rest of the Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. COMPANY reserves the right to change, amend or supplement these terms and conditions, at any time and from time to time without any notice to you or to any other person.
No waiver, express or implied, by either party of any breach of or default under the Agreement will constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or default or be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The Agreement, as amended from time to time by COMPANY, constitutes the entire agreement between you and COMPANY relating to your use of the SERVICE and supersedes all previous agreements, written, oral or otherwise, between you and COMPANY with respect to your use of the SITE and/or SERVICE.
The provisions of the Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon COMPANY and its respective successors and assigns, and you and your heirs, executors, administrators, successors and personal representatives. The Agreement will also inure to the benefit of COMPANY, its licensors, vendors, suppliers or SERVICE providers (and intended third party beneficiaries); provided however that this Agreement is not binding upon and does not impose obligations on such licensors, vendors, suppliers or SERVICE providers or beneficiaries.
