DISPUTE RESOLUTION

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning these Terms, or any use of any product or service provided by Forever Present, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Forever Present, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  After the Notice is received, the parties may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If resolution of the claim or dispute is not accomplished within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding.  

To the extent permitted by law, each party shall bear its own costs, including attorney’s fees, arising out of the arbitration.  All fees and costs due and payable to the arbitrator will be equally shared between the parties.  The parties agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims regarding these Terms or any disputes arising as a result of these Terms, whether directly or indirectly, including tort claims.  The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.  Any arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the applicable statute of limitations imposed under the American Arbitration Association rules governing the pertinent claim.  The scope and rules governing the arbitration shall be determined by the Arbitrator, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms.   The Arbitrator’s authority shall be consistent with applicable law, the American Arbitration Association rules, and the Terms.  The Arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having competent jurisdiction.  This arbitration provision shall survive any termination of these Terms. 

All aspects of any arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the Arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential.  The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.  This paragraph shall not prohibit a party from submitting to a court of competent jurisdiction any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Any claims or disputes within the scope of the arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or litigated under these Terms on an individual basis.  Class arbitrations and class, representative, or collective actions are not permitted.  The parties agree that a party may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity.  Further, unless both you and Forever Present agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

TERMINATION OR RESTRICTION OF ACCESS

Forever Present reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to limit or terminate your access to or use of the Site and related services, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. Termination of your access or use will not waive or affect any other right or relief to which we may be entitled under these Terms or at law or in equity.  We reserve the right to refuse service to any individual for any reason at any time.  

Nothing contained within these Terms is in derogation of Forever Present’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Site or information provided to or gathered by Forever Present with respect to such use.

SEVERABILITY

If any provision or part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by a court of competent jurisdiction, then only the invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified and superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely effects the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Terms will remain in effect.
