Agreement to Arbitrate

YOU AND ASKGROWERS MUTUALLY AGREE TO WAIVE OUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE AGAINST EACH OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS IN ARBITRATION. This will prohibit you from bringing any class, collective, or consolidated action against AskGrowers, and will also prohibit you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future such actions brought against AskGrowers by someone else.

You and AskGrowers agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy, whether based on past, present or future events, arising out of or relating to: these Terms and Conditions and prior versions thereof (including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof); the Site; content currently or previously available on or through the Site; any products or services currently or previously available on the Site; your relationship with AskGrowers; your user data; any offers; and any other federal and state statutory and common law claims (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. All disputes concerning the arbitrability of a Dispute (including disputes about the scope, applicability, enforceability, legality, revocability, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement) will be decided by the arbitrator, except as expressly provided herein.

YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT YOU AND ASKGROWERS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

You acknowledge and agree that you and AskGrowers are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class, collective, or consolidated proceeding. Further, unless both you and AskGrowers otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding.

Arbitration Rules And Governing Law

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or any subsequent applicable telephone number. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. It is your and AskGrowers’s intent that the FAA and AAA Rules will preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue will be resolved under the laws of the State of California. This Agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with the AAA Rules or FAA.

Arbitrator’s Decision

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Severability of Arbitration Agreement

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis, and (3) to the extent that any Disputes must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated or representative basis, such Disputes must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. In any case in which the Dispute proceeds on a class, collective, consolidated or representative basis and there is also a final judicial determination that this Arbitration Agreement is unenforceable as to a portion (but not all) of such Dispute, then such portion of the Dispute will be severed from any remaining claims and the remainder will be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Disputes to the fullest extent possible. Except as otherwise provided herein, this “Arbitration Agreement” section will survive any termination of this Agreement.

Governing Law, Choice of Law

These Terms and Conditions, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions, or the negotiation, execution or performance of these Terms and Conditions (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or as an inducement to enter into these Terms and Conditions), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

In the event that either you or AskGrowers commence a court action, any such action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you and AskGrowers both submit to personal jurisdiction there.

You and AskGrowers agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site or these Terms and Conditions must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose. Otherwise such claim or cause of action is permanently barred.

You acknowledge, understand, and accept that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods do not apply to these Terms and Conditions.

Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, in addition to other applicable documents and the Privacy Policy and any other agreements between you and AskGrowers with respect to the Site or the Site services, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between AskGrowers and you regarding the Site or the Site services, and these Terms and Conditions supersede and replace any and all prior Terms and Conditions and other applicable documents.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or unenforceable, whether by the decision of an arbitrator or court, by passage of a new law, or otherwise, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions will remain in effort and be construed and enforced consistent with the purpose of these Terms and Conditions, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, if a provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that provision should be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under the law, consistent with its purpose.
