Governing Law. This Site was created by and is controlled by us in the State of Michigan. Thus, this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and My Peace of Mind concerning your use of the Site, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, or this Agreement will be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Michigan and of the United States of America, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.
-
Jurisdiction and Venue. You specifically consent to and agree to submit any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Terms of Use (including any breach thereof), the My Peace of Mind Services, My Peace of Mind’s Privacy Policy, use of any information you give to My Peace of Mind, or use of the Site, or the services that are offered through the Site to binding and confidential arbitration in Oakland County, Michigan administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (including without limitation the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes if appropriate). The arbitration panel shall consist of one arbitrator, to be mutually agreed upon by you and My Peace of Mind. If you and My Peace of Mind cannot agree on an arbitrator within the time period given by the American Arbitration Association for the choosing of an arbitrator or within thirty (30) days of the filing of the arbitration proceeding, whichever is later, then the American Arbitration Association shall choose the arbitrator. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, or by phone. The arbitrator shall provide a written decision, and if a party so requests, the arbitrator will provide a statement of reasons supporting the decision. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any such dispute or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated with any dispute or claim of any other party. Each party shall be liable for its own fees and costs. The foregoing shall not preclude My Peace of Mind from seeking any injunctive relief in state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan for protection of the intellectual property rights of My Peace of Mind or its licensors or licensees. You agree you will not start any litigation relating to the matters specified in this paragraph except through arbitration. You also waive any claim that venue in these courts is not proper or is a forum nonconveniens. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
