To

or claim related to these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively,
the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party"

informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration.
Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party
to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
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
Shawnee, Kansas, 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 Terms of Use.
In
no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to
the Site 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 illegal or unenforceable and such
Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Restrictions
The
Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute
between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law,
(a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there
is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a
class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there
is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported
representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The
Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above
provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a)
any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity
of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute
related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of
privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
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 illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute
shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts
listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
