YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COOK’S PEST CONTROL AND ITS AFFILIATES, DISTRIBUTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS (SUCH AS PESTROUTES LLC), VENDORS, AND LICENSEES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, CORPORATE AFFILIATES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS (REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS “AFFILIATES”) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SITE AND SERVICES (INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT). TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER COOK’S PEST CONTROL NOR ITS AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO USE OF THE SITE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent Cook’s Pest Control may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Cook’s Pest Control’s ’s liability will be the minimum permitted under such law. Indemnity You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Cook’s Pest Control, our Affiliates, third-party service providers, employees, contractors, agents, officers, and directors harmless from any and all liability, claims, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that arise out of or are related to your violation of these Terms or use of the Site. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, the Site,, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to binding arbitration as set forth in this section; however, disputes regarding the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by a court, not an arbitrator. Also, individual small claims actions are not subject to this arbitration provision so long as they remain in small claims court. For purposes of this section, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Cook’s Pest Control and its Affiliates. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, if applicable, otherwise under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. These rules are found at www.adr.com. If the AAA cannot serve and you and we cannot agree on a substitute, a court with proper jurisdiction will select the arbitrator. The arbitrator will follow the applicable substantive law, including applying the Terms, and will apply the same statutes of limitation and privileges that a court would apply. The arbitrator may award any damages or other relief or remedies that would apply under applicable law to an individual action brought in court, including, without limitation, punitive damages (which will be governed by Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable, and declaratory relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim). The arbitrator will have authority to award fees and costs of attorneys, witnesses, and experts to the extent permitted by the Terms, the arbitration administrator’s rules, or applicable law. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place at a location reasonably convenient to your residence. IF A CLAIM IS ARBITRATED, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE ALSO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER, OR TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITH CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSONS (THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). NO ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN VIOLATION OF THIS PROVISION OR TO ISSUE ANY RELIEF THAT APPLIES TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY OTHER THAN TO YOU AND/OR US INDIVIDUALLY. The AAA charges fees to administer an arbitration proceeding and the arbitrator also charges fees. These arbitration costs will be paid by you and us in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. We will always pay any fees or expenses that we are required to pay by law and the arbitration administrator’s rules or that we are required to pay for this arbitration provision to be enforced. Either you or we may request a panel of three (3) arbitrators, but in the absence of both parties’ agreement, the requesting party will be responsible for the cost of the additional arbitrators. Either you or we may request at any time prior to the hearing that the award be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on all parties, except that a party may within thirty (30) days of the original award request an appeal tribunal, constituted in the same number and by the same process as the initial arbitrator(s). The appealing party will be responsible for the filing fee and other arbitration fees and costs subject to award by the appeal tribunal under applicable law. The appeal tribunal will review all questions or law and fact under a clearly erroneous standard. The award of the appeal tribunal will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Judgment may be entered on the award in any court having jurisdiction thereof. No arbitration award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the FAA. Before having recourse to arbitration, you and we agree to try in good faith to settle any controversy or claim by at least four (4) hours of mediation administered under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules with us agreeing to pay the costs of the mediation. This arbitration provision will survive the expiration or termination of the Terms. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this arbitration provision, on the one hand, and the applicable arbitration rules or other provisions of the Terms, on the other hand, this arbitration provision will govern. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision, except that (i) if the class action waiver is limited, voided, or found unenforceable, then this arbitration provision (except for this sentence) will be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the class action waiver; and (ii) if a claim is brought seeking public injunctive relief on behalf of third parties and a court determines that the restrictions in the class action waiver or elsewhere in this arbitration provision prohibiting the arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such claim (and that determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the claim for public injunctive relief will be determined in court and any individual claims seeking monetary relief will be arbitrated. In such a case the parties will request that the court stay the claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. In no event will a claim for public injunctive relief or a class action be arbitrated. Any matters submitted to a court for resolution shall be submitted to the state or federal courts of Decatur or Morgan County, Alabama and all parties agree to the personal jurisdiction thereof.
