Except as expressly set forth herein, you and Warm Commerce each agree that these Terms and Conditions and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or use of the Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its choice or conflict of law provisions or rules.  

(e) Dispute Resolution by Arbitration. Any and all claims, causes of action or disputes (regardless of theory) arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or use of the Services shall be settled exclusively by arbitration involving one arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or its successor in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, including, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, or other applicable rules as determined by the arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings shall by conducted in Houston, Texas in the English language, and, at the request of either party, result in a written statement of the facts and legal reasoning supporting the decision of the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law. Judgement on an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Warm Commerce may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. The costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) shall govern the arbitrability of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the Services. 

(f) Waiver of Class and Collective Actions. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND WARM COMMERCE AGREE THAT (i) ANY CLAIM BROUGHT BY YOU OR WARM COMMERCE AGAINST THE OTHER THAT ARISES FROM OR RELATES TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR USE OF THE SERVICES SHALL BE NOT BE ASSERTED AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, COURT OR ANY OTHER FORUM; AND (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF. Disputes between the parties arising from or relating to these Terms and Conditions or use of the Services shall be resolved only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other proceeding that involves any claim or controversy of any other party. Neither party shall have a right to resolve such disputes on a class action basis or on any basis involving such disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of other persons or entities similarly situated or the general public. 

(g) Limitation of Time to File Claims. Each party agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. 

(h) Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein and except for Warm Commerce’s service providers, licensors or others involved in creating or providing the Services, nothing herein, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give any rights hereunder to any third party. 

(i) Entire Agreement. These Terms and Conditions, together with any Additional Terms or other documents that are expressly incorporated by reference, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Warm Commerce regarding the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Services. 

(j) Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of Warm Commerce’s rights under these Terms and Conditions shall be valid or effective except by a written agreement bearing the physical signature of an officer of Warm Commerce. No purported waiver or modification of these Terms and Conditions by Warm Commerce via telephonic or email communications shall be valid. 

(k) Severability. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms and Conditions will continue in full force and effect.
