    25.2  Arbitration.  You and we agree that United States federal Law including the Federal Arbitration Act, and (to the extent not inconsistent with or pre-empted by federal Law) the Laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of Laws principles, will govern all Disputes.  Such body of Law will apply regardless of your residence or your location.  You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings.  Any Disputes must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (including utilizing desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel).  We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $5,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.  You and we agree that the arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals.  You and we agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, international, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration.  You and we agree that judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award.  The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable Law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by Law.  You and we agree that the arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

    25.3  Exceptions.  There are only two exceptions to this agreement to arbitrate. First, if either party reasonably believes that the other party has in any manner violated or threatened to infringe the intellectual property rights of the other party, the party whose rights have been violated may seek injunctive or other appropriate interim relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Second, each party will retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the jurisdiction of such courts.

    25.4  Amendments.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this agreement to arbitrate in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment.  However, the amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and us.  If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may cease all use of the Software within 30 days of the posting or notification and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

    25.5  Exclusive Venue.  Unless you and we agree otherwise and except as described above with respect to relief sought in small claims court, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or Dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree (except as otherwise provided by applicable law) that any claim or Dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Dometic must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Chicago, Illinois.  You and we agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Chicago, Illinois for the purpose of litigating all such claims or Disputes.

    25.6  You May Opt-Out of Arbitration.  YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE PROVISION (“OPT-OUT”) BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO ARBITRATIONOPTOUT@DOMETIC.COM (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”).  THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.  IF YOU ARE NOT A NEW USER, YOU HAVE UNTIL 30 DAYS AFTER THE POSTING OF THE NEW TERMS TO SUBMIT AN ARBITRATION OPT-OUT NOTICE.  Any Opt-Out Notice must include your name, address (including street address, city, state, and zip code), and email address. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.

    25.7  You Waive Certain Rights.  BY AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE (1) TO A COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE), (2) TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST US AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES, AND (3) TO A TRIAL BY JURY EVEN IF ANY ARBITRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

    25.8  Time Limit for Claims.  REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR ANY CONNECTIVITY SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

  29. DATA PROTECTION.  While not a part of this Agreement, the collection and sharing of personal information through the Software is subject to the Dometic privacy policy located at www.dometic.com.  Collection or sharing of personal information through any Connectivity may also be subject to the privacy policy of any applicable Third Party Connectivity Provider (you should contact your Third Party Connectivity Provider for a copy of their applicable privacy policy).

  30. Additional terms.  This Agreement comprises the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between Dometic and you with respect to the Software and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between the parties in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement.  Each party is acting solely as an independent contractor and no agency, employment, joint venture, partnership, or fiduciary relationship is created between the parties by this Agreement. English (U.S.A.) will be the language used in all notices and other communications under this Agreement and the English (U.S.A.) version of this Agreement and any notice or communication under this Agreement will prevail in the case of any ambiguity or inconsistency with any version in any other language.  All references herein to “including” shall mean “without limitation.”  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.  The parties expressly exclude (as may be applicable) the application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.  The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.  Neither this Agreement nor any of your rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned, transferred or delegated by you in whole or in part, and whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of Dometic.  Any assignment, transfer or delegation in derogation of the foregoing shall be null and void.  Dometic may assign or transfer this Agreement for any reason with or without notice to you.
