Assignment If Dudek sells its assets to, or is acquired by another company, or if Dudek merges with another company, you, by using this Site, authorize Dudek to assign the personal information you provided to Dudek or that Dudek collected while you used this Site. Choice of Law and Forum By using this Site, you agree that the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of California govern this Privacy Policy and any claim or dispute you may bring against Dudek. You also agree that any arbitration arising from this Privacy Policy will be held in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to the Dispute Resolution procedure stated below, any legal suit, arbitration, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, this Privacy Policy or your use of the Site shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California or before California arbitrators in each case located in the County of San Diego, California. Dispute Resolution By using this Site, you agree to try to settle any dispute with Dudek arising from or related to your use or access of this Site by sending a letter describing the basis for the dispute and allowing Dudek at least 30 days to respond after Dudek will have received your letter. If you want to send such a letter to Dudek, send it to privacy@dudek.com. Dudek will respond to you at the address Dudek has on file for you. You and Dudek agree to attempt to resolve the dispute under the terms described in the preceding paragraph before you or Dudek will commence any litigation or file a claim against the other party. If a dispute between you and Dudek cannot be resolved using this process, by using this Site, you unconditionally agree that any dispute arising from or related to your access or use of this Site will be decided entirely by binding arbitration on an individual basis, which means you and Dudek waive the right for a judge or jury to decide such claims and means that you may not proceed in a class, collective, or consolidated capacity. Your rights and Dudek’s rights during the arbitration process may be more limited than the rights you or Dudek would have in civil trial or appellate courts. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent. You agree that the arbitration will be conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), jamsadr.com, 1.800.352.5267, in the State of California and the parties will mutually agree to a single arbitrator located in the County of San Diego, California. You can contact JAMS to find out more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’ applicable rules. You and Dudek also agree the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising from the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use. We each agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective action basis. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action against the other. In addition, we both agree that we each may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN JAMS RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR DUDEK WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. Waiver and Severability No waiver by Dudek of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Dudek to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Use 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 the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect. Entire Agreement The Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Dudek with respect to the Site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Site.
