You acknowledge that Company does not screen or approve third-party Content, and that Company shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse, modify, or delete any Content that is available via the Site, for any reason.

14. Content You Provide

To the extent you post, upload, input, submit or otherwise transmit (collectively, “Transmit” or “Transmitting” as appropriate) Content on or through the Site, you agree to provide true, accurate and complete information and to refrain from impersonating or falsely representing your affiliation with any person or entity.

Enforcement of the Content or conduct rules set forth in these Terms of Use is solely at Company’s discretion, and failure to enforce such rules in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our rights to enforce such rules in other instances.

As a provider of interactive services, Company is not liable for any statements, representations, or Content provided by its users in any public forum, blog, or other areas of the Site.

However, if you post Content to the Site, unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Company and its affiliates a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Content throughout the world in any manner or media, including without limitation in advertising and other communications in support of Company, without any right of compensation or attribution. You grant Company and its affiliates and sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such Content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that (a) you own and control all of the rights to the Content that you post or you otherwise have the right to post such Content to the Site; (b) the Content is accurate and not misleading; and (c) use and posting of the Content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not violate any rights of or cause injury to any person or entity.

18. Our Remedies; Applicable Law

You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if the Terms of Use are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of the Terms of Use by you, we shall be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of the Terms of Use.

The Terms of Use shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in Fulton County, Georgia, and shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Accordingly, and in connection with the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree:

  • That any claim or legal action you may have or pursue against Company, or that Company may have or pursue against you, must be resolved by a court located in Fulton County, Georgia, except as otherwise agreed by the parties, and
  • To submit to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Fulton County, Georgia, for the purpose of litigating and pursuing all such claims or legal actions.

19. General Terms

The Terms of Use constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and the Company regarding the Site and Services. Unless otherwise specified herein (or in any other written agreement between you and Company) the Terms of Use supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between you and the Company regarding the Site and Services.

You may not assign or transfer the Terms of Use, by operation of law or otherwise, without Company’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer the Terms of Use, without such consent, will be null. Company may freely assign or transfer the Terms of Use without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, the Terms of Use will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications we may provide under the Terms of Use, including those regarding modifications to the Terms of Use, can be given: (a) via email; or (b) by posting to the Site. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Company. Except as expressly set forth in the Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under the Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under the Terms of Use or otherwise.

You expressly authorize us to comply with any and all lawful notices, subpoenas, court orders or warrants without prior notice to you.

To the extent that anything in, or associated with, the Site or Services is in conflict or inconsistent with the Terms of Use, the Terms of Use shall take precedence.

20. Legal Disputes

You and we agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Use, your use of or access to the Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section (“Legal Disputes”). Please read this section (“Legal Disputes”) carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

Arbitration/Class Waiver/Opt-Out Clauses

You and we each agree to resolve exclusively through final and binding arbitration any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us (including any affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents), whether or not such dispute or claim involves a third party, relating in any way to any aspect of our relationship or any contact between us, direct or indirect, or arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Use, your use of or access to our Services, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services (“Dispute”).

  1. You and we agree to submit the Dispute to a single arbitrator under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), including when applicable the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and the Consumer Arbitration Rules, or, by separate mutual agreement, at another arbitration institution. The AAA’s rules, information regarding initiating a claim, and a description of the arbitration process are available at org.

The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA rules. As an alternative, you or we may bring a claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules.

  1. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section (“Legal Disputes”) regarding our agreement to arbitrate any Dispute (“Agreement to Arbitrate”), and the arbitrability of the Dispute. The arbitrator will decide whether the Dispute can be arbitrated.
  2. You and we agree that each of us may bring a Dispute against the other only on our own behalf, and not on behalf of a government official or other person or entity, or a class of persons or entities. You and we agree, if we are a party to the proceeding, not to participate in a class action, a class-wide arbitration, a claim brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or a consolidated claim involving another person’s use of the site or our services. You and we agree not to combine a claim that is subject to arbitration under the Terms of Use with a claim that is not eligible for arbitration under the Terms of Use. You and we agree to waive the right to a trial by jury for all disputes.
  3. You may opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor we can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing, within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate, by U.S. mail delivered to: PO Box 78797 Atlanta, Georgia 30357. You must include: (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
  4. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained in paragraph (c) above is found to be unenforceable, then all of paragraphs (a)-(f) of this section (“Legal Disputes”) will be null and void as to that Dispute.
