14. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the PSA Gear Parties will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind arising out of or in any way related to the access to or use of the Services or the purchase of Products through the Services, including but not limited to any damages caused by or resulting from reliance on any information obtained from the PSA Gear Parties and from events beyond the PSA Gear Parties’ reasonable control, even if PSA Gear or the other PSA Gear Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total liability of the PSA Gear Parties for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Services or Products purchased through the Services, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the greater of (a) the purchase price of the Product(s) giving rise to the claim or (b) $100. The limitation of liability set out above does not apply to liability resulting from our fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
If applicable, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
15. Dispute Resolution/Binding Arbitration/Class Action Waiver
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with PSA Gear and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for any dispute arising out of or related to a violation of Section 7 or disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and PSA Gear waive their rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Services or Products purchased through our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or to these Terms, our Services or products or Services purchased through our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in San Diego, California before and in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and PSA Gear agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Services or products or Services purchased through our Services is personal to you and PSA Gear and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action, or any other type of representative proceeding. You and PSA Gear further agree that any such disputes will also not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party.
You and PSA Gear agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and PSA Gear agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and PSA Gear will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by PSA Gear, PSA Gear will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and PSA Gear agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Diego County have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim you may have arising out of or related to these Terms, our Services or products or services purchased through our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred, which means that you and PSA Gear will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 15 by emailing us at info@psagear.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 17 of these Terms.
16. General Consent to Electronic Communications
You consent to receive communications from us whether required by law or otherwise, either by e-mail (if you have provided us with your e-mail address). You agree that any requirement that a notice, disclosure, agreement, or other communication be sent to you by us in writing is satisfied by such electronic communication. We are not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to communications we send to an e-mail address or other location that you provide to us.
Notwithstanding your indicated email marketing preferences, we may send you administrative emails regarding PSA Gear, including, for example, order confirmations or information about Services you have purchased as well as notices of updates to the Privacy Policy or these Terms if we choose to provide such notices to you in this manner. We may also contact you via e-mail to respond to a question, comment, or other communication that you may have initiated with us, including but not limited to questions related to the Privacy Policy or these Terms, any User Content you provide or in relation to customer service issue.
PSA Gear may seek your consent to contact you with certain non-emergency, automated, autodialed, prerecorded, or other telemarketing text messages. We may contact you using your phone or mobile number with an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS). You may opt-out of these communications at any time, and consent to receive marketing text messages is not required to purchase any products or Services.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PSA Gear relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of PSA Gear to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. Our failure to act with respect to a breach of the Terms by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit our rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. The provisions of these Terms are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner and without affecting the remaining provisions hereof, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles and specifically will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods or services. You agree that jurisdiction and venue in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Services, will be in San Diego County, California, and you hereby consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in San Diego County, California.
19. Termination
We reserve the right, subject to these Terms, to change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services, in our sole and absolute discretion and without notice or liability, including by adding or eliminating certain features, removing access to any Product or discontinuing any of our Products entirely. Any description of the features of Products or Services offered by PSA Gear shall not be considered to be a representation by PSA Gear that such features will always be included in such Products and Services.
We also reserve the right, subject to the Terms, to terminate or suspend your Account or restrict access to some or all of the Services or Products, for all users or only for you, without notice or liability. Accordingly, for any reason, and without notice, all or any part of the Services and Products may become unavailable to you at any time and for any period. In the event we terminate your Account, we may delete any or all of the information associated with your Account.
For the avoidance of doubt, we will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services or Products are unavailable at any time or for any period.
20. Language and Intention
