12.1 Disclaimer
The websites, services, information, data, features, and all content and all products and services associated with the Services or provided through the Services (whether or not sponsored) are provided to you on an “as-is” and “as available” basis. Cooperative and its third-party providers, licensors, distributors, or suppliers (collectively, “suppliers”) make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the content or operation of the Website or of the Services. You expressly agree that your use of the services is at your sole risk. Neither Cooperative nor its suppliers make any representations, warranties, or guarantees, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the content on the Website or of the Services (whether or not sponsored), and expressly disclaims any warranties of non-infringement or fitness for a particular purpose. Neither Cooperative nor its suppliers make any representation, warranty, or guarantee that the content that may be available through the Services are free of infection from any viruses or other code or computer programming routines that contain contaminating or destructive properties or that are intended to damage, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or personal information. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such states, liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. Accordingly, some of the above limitations of this provision may not apply to you.
12.2 Limitation of Liability
Your use of the Website and Services are at your own risk. You agree that our sole obligation to you is to provide the Website and Services “as is.” Cooperative shall in no event be responsible or liable to you or any third party, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, liquidated, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profit, revenue or business, arising in whole or in part from your access to the Website, your use of the Services, the Website or this agreement, even if Cooperative has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, Cooperative’s liability to you for any cause whatever and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to a maximum of US $500.00.
12.3 Indemnification
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cooperative and its officers, directors, shareholders, and employees, from and against all claims, suits, proceedings, losses, liabilities, and expenses, whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, that arise out of or relate, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, in whole or in part arising out of or attributable to any breach of this Agreement or any activity by you in relation to the Website or your use of the Services.
12.4 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and, in any event, the rest of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
12.5 Notices
Notices to us under these Terms will be provided via email to legal@cooperativesneakers.com. Notices to you under these Terms will be provided via (a) email to the email address you designate in your account or (b) your account portal.
12.6 Force Majeure
No failure, delay, or default in performance of any obligation of a party will constitute an event of default or breach of these Terms to the extent that such failure to perform, delay, or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without negligence of such party, including action or inaction of governmental, civil, or military authority, fire, strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, flood, terrorist act, war, riot, theft, earthquake, or other natural disaster, or endemic or pandemic. The party affected by such cause will take all reasonable actions to minimize the consequences of such cause.
12.7 Dispute Resolution by Arbitration, Waivers to Jury Trial and Class Action
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms and the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; the arbitrator shall apply Utah law to all other matters. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. We each agree that any and all disputes must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. By entering into this agreement and agreeing to arbitration, you agree that you and Cooperative are each waiving the right to file a lawsuit and the right to a trial by jury. In addition, you agree to waive the right to participate in a class action or litigate on a class-wide basis. You agree that you have expressly and knowingly waived these rights. To begin an arbitration proceeding, send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Cooperative, 260 S 1200 W, Orem, UT 84058. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA’s rules. Cooperative will not seek its attorneys’ fees or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims or defenses are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed on location. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and not appealable, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section shall survive expiration, termination, or rescission of this Agreement.
12.8 Governing Law
Any claim relating to, and the use of, the Services, Website, and the materials contained herein is governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Utah County, Utah.
12.9. Entire Agreement
Except as provided in these Terms and any exhibits or attachments, applicable Order Form(s), or other terms incorporated by reference into these Terms, these Terms supersede all prior and contemporaneous proposals, statements, sales materials, presentations, or agreements, oral and written. No oral or written information or advice given by us, our agents, or our employees will create a warranty or in any way increase the scope of the warranties or obligations under these Terms.
