Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver, and
Limitation.
Neither you nor the Company will be able to sue in court in connection with a dispute
involving the Site (a “Site Dispute.”) All Site Disputes must be resolved through
individual (non-class) arbitration. You indicate your acceptance to these Terms and
Conditions, including this agreement to arbitrate, by continuing to use the Site after
having the opportunity to review these Terms and Conditions. You and the Company
intend for this to be an agreement for arbitration that can be enforced under the Federal
Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 U.S.C.A. §§ 1–16. You and the Company waive any rights to
maintain other available resolution processes for Site Disputes, such as a court action
or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. You and we waive any right to a jury
trial for Site Disputes. Instead of suing in court, we each agree to settle Site Disputes
only by arbitration. The rules in arbitration are different. There’s no judge or jury, and
review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must
honor the same limitations stated in the agreement as a court would. Any Site Dispute
shall be determined by arbitration in Westchester County New York before one
arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’
Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at
http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. Judgment on the award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from
seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
If for any reason, JAMS cannot or will not provide this arbitration, the parties may ask
any court of competent jurisdiction to select an arbitrator from a list provided by the
parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we retain the right to bring legal proceedings in
any jurisdiction where we believe that breach of these Terms of Use is taking place or
originating. To the extent a party commences any action with includes both Site
Disputes and Non-Site Disputes, consideration of the Non-Site Disputes shall be stayed
until the Site Disputes are fully arbitrated. Then, any Non-Site Disputes will be
considered by any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that you will not file a class
action against us and its affiliated companies, or participate in a class action against us
and its affiliated companies, in any Site Dispute. You agree that you will not file or seek
a class arbitration, or participate in a class arbitration against us and its affiliated
companies, in any Site Dispute. Any cause of action by you with respect to the Site (or
any information, products or services related thereto) must be instituted within one (1)
year after the cause of action arose or be forever waived and barred and all actions
shall be subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms of Use.
Legal Notice to New Jersey Residents.
No provision in these Terms of Use shall apply to any consumer in New Jersey if the
provision limits redress for/under: (i) the Company’s tortious actions (e.g., negligence,
failure to exercise a basic standard of care, failure to avoid creating an unreasonable
risk of harm); (ii) the New Jersey Products Liability Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1, et seq. (i.e.,
the statutorily imposed duty to refrain from manufacturing and selling dangerous
products, with the possibility of punitive damages for violations thereof); (iii) the New
Jersey Punitive Damages Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.9, et seq. (i.e., the statutory right to
pursue punitive damages in the event of harm caused by actual malice, wanton and
willful disregard, reckless indifference); (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code
(i.e., a comprehensive statutory regime governing the rights and duties of buyers and
sellers with respect to contracts for the sale of goods, with the possibility of damages for
economic and property harm); and (v) the Company’s failure to reasonably protect
against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (e.g., computer hacking
and identity theft, as regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal
Communications Commission, and as governed by the New Jersey Identity Theft
Protection Act, N.J.S.A.56:8-161, et seq., and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act,
N.J.S.A. 56:8-3, et seq.). With respect to these Terms of Use, the provision concerning
the exclusion or limitation of certain damages is not applicable in New Jersey with
respect to statutory damages, punitive damages, loss of data, and loss of or damage to
property.
These Terms of Use and the agreement created by your acceptance of them through
your use of the Site shall be treated as though executed and performed in New York,
and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to conflict of law principles. Access to, or use of, this Site or
information, materials, products or services on this Site may be prohibited by law in
certain countries or jurisdictions. We do not make any representations or warranties
regarding the use of or access to this Site outside of the jurisdiction of the business set

accessing this Site. The language in these Terms of Use shall be interpreted as to its
fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. You expressly submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of said courts and consent to extra-territorial service of process.
Should any part of these Terms of Use be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
portions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent that
anything in or associated with the Site is in conflict or inconsistent with these Terms of
Use, these Terms of Use shall control. Our failure to enforce any provision of these
Terms of Use shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce
such provision. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a
result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Site and neither we nor you have any
authority of any kind to bind the other in any respect whatsoever or to take any action
which shall be binding on the other, except as authorized in writing by the party to be
bound.

the Text Messages. Neither we nor the wireless carriers (such as T-Mobile) will be liable

date, time and content of your text messages. We may use this information in
accordance with our Privacy Policy to contact you and to provide the services you
request from us.
Message Frequency.
The number of STAUB text messages that you receive will vary depending on which

sent by those programs. You will receive a maximum of 6 messages per month per
STAUB text messaging programs.
Cost.
Message and data rates may apply to each text message sent or received in connection
with STAUB text messages, as provided in your mobile telephone service rate plan
(please contact your mobile telephone carrier for pricing plans), in addition to any

STAUB text messages; provided, however, you are responsible for any fees imposed by
your mobile carrier of any kind whatsoever.
