Any release, disclaimer, or limitation stated elsewhere in this User Agreement is in addition to and shall not limit, restrict, or otherwise affect the scope or enforcement of any release, disclaimer, or limitation stated in this section.

This section is part of the basis of the bargain between you and WAC and shall apply to all Claims (as defined in Section 16 – Dispute Resolution), even if we have been advised of the possibility of any such liability or damage and even if these remedies fail their essential purpose.

If no such amount was paid by you to us, our total liability under this section shall not exceed $100.

(B) You agree that, except as otherwise specifically provided under Section 14(1)(A), and to the extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not under any circumstances have any liability whatsoever to you or any third party (whether jointly, severally, or individually) for any (a) damages or losses of any kind (known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, direct or indirect) arising out of or in any way related to any disclaimer provided in this User Agreement (including Section 13 – Warranty Disclaimers); (b) indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or (c) loss of use, data, opportunity, goodwill, reputation, profit, or revenue.

(C) If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code § 1542, which reads: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

(D) You hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including court fees, attorney fees, travel expenses, and other related costs and expenses) incurred in connection with our efforts to obtain a stay or dismissal of any Claim (as defined in Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) from which you released us of liability under this Section 14(2) – General Release of Liability.

Section 14. Indemnification

(1) Nonparty Claims. With respect to any judicial, administrative, or arbitration action, suit, claim, investigation, or proceeding (including any related appeal or review) (each a “Proceeding”) brought by any third party against us (or any of our affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, and other representatives) (collectively “Indemnitees”) and that arises out of (a) your use of our Products and Services, (b) your violation of or failure to perform any obligation under this User Agreement, or (c) any untrue representation or statement made by you in this User Agreement (each a “Nonparty Claim”), you agree that you will indemnify and defend the Indemnitees from and against any amount (including any interest) awarded in or paid in settlement of a Proceeding (collectively “Losses”) and any reasonable out-of-pocket expense (including court filing fees, court costs, arbitration fees, witness fees, and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending a Proceeding or in any related investigation or negotiation (collectively “Litigation Expenses”) arising out of such Proceeding, except to the extent that such Indemnitees negligently or intentionally caused such Losses or Litigation Expenses.

(2) Notice of Nonparty Claim. To assume the defense of a Nonparty Claim, you must notify the Indemnitee that you are doing so. Promptly thereafter, you shall retain to represent the Indemnitee in the Nonparty Claim with independent legal counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.

(3) Defense of Nonparty Claim. An Indemnitee is entitled to participate in the defense of a Nonparty Claim. An Indemnitee may defend a Nonparty Claim with counsel of its own choosing and without you participating if (a) you notify the Indemnitee that you does not wish to defend the Nonparty Claim, (b) by midnight at the end of the 10th day after the Indemnitee notifies you of the Nonparty Claim, you fail to notify the Indemnitee that you wish to defend the Nonparty Claim, or (c) representation of you and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the opinion of that counsel, constitute a conflict of interest.

(4) Litigation Expenses. You shall pay any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of the Nonparty Claim before you assume the defense of that Nonparty Claim, except with respect to any period during which the Indemnitee fails to timely notify you of that Nonparty Claim. You will not be liable for any Litigation Expenses that an Indemnitee incurs in connection with defense of a Nonparty Claim after you assume the defense of that Nonparty Claim, other than Litigation Expenses that the Indemnitee incurs in employing counsel in accordance with Section 15(3) – Defense of a Nonparty Claim, which Litigation Expenses you shall pay promptly as they are incurred.

(5) Settlement. After you assume the defense of a Nonparty Claim, you may contest, pay, or settle the Nonparty Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee only if that settlement (a) does not entail any admission on the part of the Indemnitee that it violated any law or infringed the rights of any person or entity, (b) has no effect on any other claim against the Indemnitee, (c) provides as the claimant’s sole relief monetary damages that are paid in full by you, and (d) requires that the claimant release the Indemnitee from all liability alleged in the Nonparty Claim.

Please read this section carefully. This section affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how any Claim you and WAC may have against each other is resolved.

(1) Limitations Periods. Except where prohibited by applicable law, you agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, ANY CLAIM MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH CLAIM ACCRUED OR BE FOREVER BARRED. You agree that this limitations period is reasonable due to the nature of the transactions contemplated in this User Agreement.

(2) Applicable Law. To the extent not otherwise governed by federal law, this User Agreement and any Claim or Proceeding arising out of the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or any party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Oregon or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause or result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Oregon.

(3) Notice of Dispute Form. We want to avoid litigation, and we hope you do, too. Therefore, if either party plans to pursue legal action, such party must first send (by certified or registered mail) a completed Notice of Dispute to the other party.

• We will send a Notice of Dispute to you at the address associated with your order or otherwise provided by you. You should send your Notice of Dispute to us at the following address:

PROUDMAN HOLDINGS INC.

Attn: S Proudman

Re: Notice of Dispute

Lake Oswego. OR 97034

If the parties are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 days after the Notice is sent, you or WAC may initiate arbitration under Section 16(4) – Agreement to Arbitrate.

(4) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and WAC agree that any Claim shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in state or federal court.  

(A) You and WAC agree that each waives any right to a jury trial under this Section 16(4) – Agreement to Arbitrate (“Agreement to Arbitrate”).

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND WAC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WAC OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIM AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT ANY OTHER PARTY.

(B) Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the applicable law and terms of this User Agreement as a court would.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or in any way relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate (or any portion thereof), or of this User Agreement (or any portion thereof), including any claim that all or any portion of the Agreement to Arbitrate or this User Agreement is unenforceable.

The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different WAC members, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same WAC member to the extent required by applicable law. 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.

The arbitration of any Claim shall be held in Delaware and will be conducted and governed by the Delaware State under its rules and procedures (which are available on their website), except as such rules and procedures are modified as follows:

(i) The arbitration hearing shall take place no later than 120 days after arbitration is initiated.

(ii)  Where no party’s claim exceeds $10,000 (exclusive of interest, attorney fees, and arbitration costs), the dispute shall be resolved by submission of documents unless the arbitrator determines that an oral hearing is necessary. Within 14 days after appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall schedule a preliminary case management teleconference to establish fair and equitable procedures for the submission and review of documents. The final date for submissions (including any response and replies, if permitted) shall be no later than 120 days after arbitration is initiated.

(iii)  Each party (or each party’s representative if such party is an entity or organization) must appear in-person at the arbitration hearing.

(iv)  Discovery of documents and other tangible things shall be limited to those documents and other tangible things which each party intends to rely on during the arbitration.

(v)  Documents presumed admissible shall include this User Agreement and all emails sent to one party from another party.

(vi)  It shall not be a requirement for a document to be presumed admissible that the party offering a document has made available, after request, to all other parties all other related documents from the same author or maker.

(vii)  Legal issues (which may be resolved without need for reliance on factual issues) shall be resolved via summary disposition by the arbitrator prior to the arbitration hearing.

(viii)  At least two business days prior to the hearing, the parties shall exchange copies of all exhibits they intend to submit at the hearing. The arbitrator shall resolve disputes concerning the exchange of exhibits.

(ix)  Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the arbitration may proceed in the absence of any party who fails to appear at the arbitration hearing or fails to submit documents in a dispute to be resolved by the submission of documents. An award may be made solely on the default of a party for failure to appear.

(x) If the total and combined relief requested is $100,000 or more (exclusive of interest, attorney fees, and arbitration costs), a party may appeal purely legal errors and manifestly erroneous factual findings.

The use of the word “arbitrator” in this provision shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over any arbitration. Rather, the ASP rules shall determine the number of arbitrators that may preside over any given arbitration conducted under this Agreement to Arbitrate.

A form for initiating any arbitration proceeding is available on ASP’s website. In addition to filing such form with ASP in accordance with its rules and procedures, to initiate arbitration proceedings you must send a copy of the completed form by certified mail to WAC at the following address:

PROUDMAN HOLDINGS INC.

Attn: S Proudman

Re: Arbitration Claim

163 Iron Mountain Blvd

Lake Oswego. OR 97034

In the event that WAC initiates arbitration against you, WAC will send a copy of the completed form to the address associated with your order(s) or otherwise provided by you. Any settlement offer made by you or WAC shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

(C) Costs of Arbitration. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate, Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act (DRAA) rules.

(D) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 16(4)(A) – Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief, if an arbitrator or court decides that any portion of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that any of the provisions in Section 16(4)(A) – Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of this User Agreement (including all other provisions of Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) shall continue to apply.

If an arbitrator or court decides that the requirement set forth in Section 16(4)(B) – Arbitration Procedures that any arbitration under this User Agreement to Arbitration be held in Delaware is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply and any arbitration shall instead be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or WAC may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

(E) Opt-Out Procedure. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (“OPT-OUT”) BY MAILING WAC A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NOT LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH YOU ACCEPT THIS USER AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE VIA CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN-RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO:

PROUDMAN HOLDINGS INC.

Attn: S Proudman

Re: Opt Out Notice

163 Iron Mountain Blvd

Lake Oswego. OR 97034

 You must complete and sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. 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 User Agreement (including all other provisions of Section 16 – Dispute Resolution) will continue to apply to you. If you Opt-Out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, this has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with WAC.

(F) Future Changes to the Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any provision in this User Agreement to the contrary, you and WAC agree that if WAC makes any change (other than a change to any notice address or website link) to this Agreement to Arbitrate, that change shall not apply to any Claim that was filed in a legal action or proceeding against WAC prior to the effective date of such change. The change shall apply to all other Claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and WAC. WAC will notify you of any change to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on the Website at least 30 days before the effective date of the changes and/or by providing notice via email. If you object to any of the changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate, or otherwise do not understand or agree to be bound by the changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate, you may cease the use of website or cancel your order(s) within the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the new terms.

Moreover, if WAC seeks to terminate the Agreement to Arbitrate, any such termination will not be effective until 30 days after you are given notice of such termination, and will not be effective as to any Claim that was filed or otherwise commenced prior to the effective date of such termination.

(5) Judicial Forum for Claims. Unless you and WAC otherwise agree, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to you or to any particular Claim, either as a result of your decision to Opt-Out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of any decision by any arbitrator or court, you agree that any Claim must be resolved exclusively by the state or federal courts located in Delaware. You consent to venue and personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating all such Claims.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily and expressly agree to waive (and/or not exercise your rights under) any statute or law that provides you with the ability to revoke or otherwise invalidate this mandatory forum selection clause (or any portion thereof).

The parties agree that nothing under this section shall prohibit any party from enforcing or otherwise seeking to collect on any judgment in any jurisdiction permitted by applicable law.

(6) Violation of this Section. You agree that if you file or initiate any Proceeding against WAC in violation of or without fully complying with this Section 16 – Dispute Resolution (including Section 16(3) – Notice of Dispute Form, Section 16(4) – Agreement to Arbitrate, and Section 16(5) – Judicial Forum for Claims), you will cause such Proceeding to be dismissed without prejudice within 15 days of the date of a written request from WAC. Additionally, you acknowledge and agree that any applicable limitations period will not be tolled during the pendency of any such Proceeding. In the event you fail or refuse to cause such Proceeding to be dismissed as required by this section, you hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including court fees, attorney fees, travel expenses, and other related costs and expenses) incurred in connection with WAC’s efforts to obtain a stay or dismissal of such Proceeding. The parties acknowledge and agree that the right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorney fees) under this section is limited to the specific circumstances set forth in this section and is not intended to provide any party with a general right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorney fees), even if such party is the “prevailing party” in connection with any Claim.

(7) Attorney Fees. Except as specifically provided under this User Agreement, the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act (DRAA)  rules, or by applicable law, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) each party shall bear its own costs, expenses, and attorney fees incurred in connection with any Claim, and (b) any right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorney fees) under Section 14(2) – General Release of Liability and Section 16(6) – Violation of This Section is limited to the specific circumstances set forth under such section and is not intended to provide any party with a general right to an award of costs and expenses (including attorney fees), even if such party is the “prevailing party” in connection with any Claim.

(8) Service of Process. You expressly agree to accept service of process by the certified or registered mailing of a copy of the summons and complaint to the last address provided by you to WAC.
