- Applicable Law. You and we agree that these Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act applies and it governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings.
- Arbitration. Any and all Covered Dispute Matters must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Rules then in effect ("Rules"). You and we agree the arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator and 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 these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply the governing law set forth in these Terms to any such arbitration and shall have the power to award any remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction to amend these Terms or grant any relief not permitted herein or beyond the relief permitted herein. For matters where the relief sought is over $5,000, 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. The arbitration shall take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, however desk, phone, or video conference proceedings may be utilized where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel. Payment of all filing, administration, arbitrator fees and other costs of arbitration will be governed by the AAA's Rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. You and we agree that the arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 24.5 below, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by you or us and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we have sought public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration after the party seeking public injunctive relief has first prevailed in arbitration. The parties agree that the litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
- Exceptions to Arbitration. 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.
- Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms 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 Filters Fast prior to the effective date of the amendment. However, the amendment shall apply to all other Covered Dispute Matters governed by the agreement to arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and Filters Fast. If you do not agree to the amended terms, you may close your account within thirty (30) days of the posting or notification and you will not be bound by the amended terms.
- Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes. Unless you and we agree otherwise and except for claims in Small Claims Court, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular Covered Dispute Matter, 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 law) that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. You and we agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts located within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
- YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF ARBITRATION. IF YOU ARE A NEW USER, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE PROVISION ("OPT-OUT") BY EMAILING US AN OPT-OUT NOTICE TO [email protected] ("OPT-OUT NOTICE"). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Section 24 and the remainder of these Terms 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.

- STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR YOUR CLAIMS. REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE MATERIALS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

All waivers by us under these Terms are invalid unless they are in writing or later acknowledged by us in writing. Any waiver or failure by us to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by us of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Neither these Terms nor any of your rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or transferred by you (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger, consolidation, or other operation of law) without our prior written approval. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. We may freely assign these Terms.
