8. Applicable Laws; Arbitration; Additional Conditions

If you choose to visit or use the Site, your access and use of the Site is subject to this Agreement. Your use of this Site shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Maryland without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any cause of action, claim or dispute you may have arising out of or relating to the Site (including, but not limited to, the Privacy Policy on the Site) or this Agreement must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action or dispute accrues or it is forever barred. We make no representation or warranty that materials or services on this Site are available for use, and access to them from locations or territories where their content is illegal is prohibited. If you choose to access this Site from locations outside Maryland, you do so on your own initiative and you are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

Initial Dispute Resolution.
We are available by email at [insert link] to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Site. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. Any claim, cause of action, or dispute arising out of or relating to your use of this Site (including the Privacy Policy) or this Agreement, shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration in the State of Maryland and you waive any right to claim that such location is an inconvenient forum. The arbitration shall be conducted under the auspices of the JudicialAmerican Arbitration and Mediation Services Association (the "AAA"JAMS"), on a non-confidential basis in accordance with the provisions of its then-effective rules, including its streamlined procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision and the parties hereby reject, waive and disclaim the application of any state Arbitration Act.

The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/, or by calling JAMS at 1.800.352.5267. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, MASN will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of fees should be submitted to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and MASN will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Class Action Waiver
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception - Small Claims Court Claims
Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

30 Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the preceding three paragraphs by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: MASN (attn: Arbitration Request), 333 W. Camden Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Site, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of this section. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, MASN also will not be bound by them.

Exclusive Venue for Litigation
Solely to the extent the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply, or for purposes of either party enforcing an award granted to it pursuant to arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Maryland (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Maryland for any litigation other than small claims court actions. The Parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in Maryland for any litigation and hereby waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction of Maryland over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) this Agreement or the Site, and (b) any acts or omissions of any of the Covered Entities in connection with this Agreement or the Site.

by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with its rules. Any decision relating to arbitrability of a claim arising out of or relating to your use of this Site or this Agreement shall be resolved by the AAA. Notwithstanding the rules of the AAA, such proceeding shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and other limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph. An award in arbitration shall be limited to monetary damages and shall not include any injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Further, the arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to award punitive, consequential or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages in any arbitration initiated, except as may be required by Maryland law to the contrary. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his/her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for any additional 30 days in the interests of justice. All arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator shall be in wring and will include a statement describing the reasons for the disposition of the claim.

In the event a determination is made that a cause of action, claim or dispute is not arbitrable, or if the arbitration provision in this Agreement is found to be null and void, then, in such event, such cause of action, claim or dispute must be brought in the State or Federal courts located in Baltimore, Maryland and you and we hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts. If for any reason a cause of action, claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration then you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please include "Request for Arbitration" in the subject line.

You and We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or MASN from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation, orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration or confirm an arbitral award from a court of competent jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or MASN from seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim relief as necessary or seeking relief to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
