17. GOVERNING LAW
These Legal
Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of
the State of Colorado
applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within
the State of Colorado
, without

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute,
controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a
"Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes"
) brought by either you or us (individually, a
"Party" and collectively, the "Parties"),
the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes
expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30)
days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon
written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be
finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT
THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted
under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"
) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related
Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the
American Arbitration
Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your
share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where
appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The
arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone,
or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a
statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow
applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except
where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take
place in
Summit,
Colorado
. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending
arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter
judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than
arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the
state and federal courts
located in
Summit,
Colorado
, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses
of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue
and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer
Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party
related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1)
years after the cause of action arose.
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will
elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be
