ARBITRATION AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF CLAUSE

For purposes of this Arbitration Policy, the term “Company” refers to Northern Brewer, LLC, including its affiliated brands and subsidiaries.

Agreement to Arbitrate: Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and the Company arising out of or relating to the use of this website, the services provided, or any products purchased through the website, including the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Arbitration and Injunctive Relief Clause (collectively, "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration, conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As used in this Arbitration and Injunctive Relief Clause, "you" and "Company" also includes any parent, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries, affiliates, any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, purchasers of any accounts, and all agents, employees, directors, and representatives of any of the foregoing. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE MUTUALLY CHOOSE BINDING ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF LITIGATION TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES. THIS MEANS THAT NEITHER YOU NOR THE COMPANY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A CLAIM IN COURT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL AND YOUR ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Interstate Commerce: You and The Company agree that use of this website, the services provided, or any products purchased through the website constitutes a transaction involving commerce and, therefore, is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).

Selection of Arbitrator: Any Dispute will be resolved, upon the election by You or The Company, by arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration and Injunctive Relief Clause and the Rules. For a copy of the Rules, to file a Claim, or for other information about the AAA, You may contact AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, www.adr.org. In addition to the AAA, Claims may be referred to any other arbitration organization that is mutually agreed upon in writing by You and The Company, or to an arbitration organization or arbitrator(s) appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA, provided that any such arbitration organization and arbitrator(s) will enforce the terms and restrictions set forth herein. If You and The Company cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the request for arbitration, the AAA shall select an arbitrator. The determination of the arbitrator in such arbitration shall be final and binding and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration Process: The arbitration will be conducted in the federal judicial district where you reside. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on both parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding this Arbitration and Injunctive Relief Clause, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of its copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

Costs and Fees: Initially, you will only be responsible for paying your share, if any, of the arbitration fees required by the applicable Rules, which amount will not exceed the filing fees that you would have incurred if the Dispute had been brought in the appropriate state or federal court where you reside. Initially, The Company will pay the remainder of any arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator shall assess the costs of arbitration against the party which is not the substantially prevailing party in such arbitration. Additionally, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding with its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration, as determined by the arbitrator(s).

Class Action Waiver: You agree that you shall not have the right to participate as a representative or a member of any class of claimants pertaining to any Dispute regardless of whether any such Dispute must be arbitrated. Arbitration of any Dispute will proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any Disputes to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator's authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to Disputes between You and The Company alone. No Disputes may be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have a preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

Severability: If any part of this Arbitration and Injunctive Relief Clause is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Other Conditions

These Conditions will supersede any terms and/or conditions you include with any purchase order, regardless of whether Adventures in Homebrewing signs them or not. Adventures in Homebrewing reserves the right to make changes to this site and these Conditions at any time.
