To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Sites and materials on these Sites are provided "as is", "as available" and "with all faults." To the fullest extent permitted by law, American Crafts, its vendors, licensors, and suppliers, and the directors, officers, employees, and other representatives of each (collectively, "American Crafts Parties"):
. Disclaim all warranties, express or implied in connection with each Site, including (but not limited to) any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or custom.
. Do not represent or warrant that the Site (or Site Content) will be uninterrupted or error-free or that the Site or its server is free of viruses or other harmful components.
. Do not represent or warrant that the information (including any instructions) on the Site is accurate, complete, or reliable.
Unless required by law, and only to the extent required by law, we are not a party to, and do not monitor, any transaction between users and third-party providers of products or services.
The American Crafts Parties will not be liable for special or consequential damages that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the Site or Site Content.In no event will the total liability to you by the American Crafts Parties for any claims, damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount you paid us, if any, for accessing the applicable Site or, if you did not pay us, $10.00 USD.This limitation on damages is not intended to limit any obligation to pay prevailing party costs or fees as required by law or to limit or exclude liability for personal injury or property damage caused by the American Crafts Parties, or for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional, willful, malicious, or reckless misconduct by the American Crafts Parties.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the American Crafts Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including (but not limited to) attorney’s fees arising from: (a) your breach of any of these Terms or Additional Terms, (b) your content and materials, including (but not limited to) submissions and User Content, (c) your use of the Site, Site Content, or Site features as permitted by us or (d) your violation of law or any agreement you have with a third party.
You agree that these Terms and your use of the Site is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States of America.Both you and the American Crafts Parties waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action.
Except for the American Crafts Parties' right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in a state and federal court located in DuPage or Cook County, Illinois (or any other court with jurisdiction over the parties), the parties each agree to finally settle all disputes arising out of or relating to the Site only through binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined arbitration rules procedures of JAMS Inc. ("JAMS").In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited.With limited exceptions, the arbitrator's decision and award is final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.If JAMS does not set a hearing date within 14 days of the filing of a "demand for arbitration," then a party may elect to have the arbitration administered by a mutually-agreed arbitration service.If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in, Chicago, Illinois; New York City, New York; Nashville, Tennessee; or Los Angeles, California (whichever is closest to your residence) or near your hometown if the JAMS rules require.A dispute will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason a court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in DuPage or Cook County, Illinois.American Crafts will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees to conduct the arbitration (but not travel or other costs you incur).Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive, or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of the Site.
If any of the provisions of these Terms are found unlawful, void, or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be considered severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the other provisions. This is our entire agreement regarding this subject.If American Crafts does not act after you or others breach these Terms, it does not waive American Crafts’s right to act in the future. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against American Crafts because American Crafts has drafted them. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination will survive the termination of these Terms, including (but not limited to) Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Disputes).
