Limitation of Liability

THE SITES PROVIDE THE INFORMATION, SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ON THE SITES “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT THE SITES SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONTENT FOUND ON THE SITES’ FORUMS AND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SITES’ FORUMS AND ANY DOWNLOADING OF MATERIALS FOUND ON OR THROUGHOUT THE SITES’ FORUMS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR COMPUTER OR DATA THAT RESULTS. ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THE SITES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE USE OF PERFORMANCE OF THE SITES WILL BE TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF ERROR, OR THAT THE SITES OR ITS SERVER WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SITES OR OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT LOSS OR INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITES OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SITES OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES, EVEN IF THE SITES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW PREVENTS THE EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SUCH EXCLUSION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT LIMITED BY LAW.

Disputes and Arbitration Agreement

We will work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with the Sites, including products and services ordered or purchased through the Sites, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we recognize that there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to your satisfaction.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Delta Defense, LLC and USCCA, Inc. (collectively, “Company”) agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use, your use of the Sites, your Membership, or any products or services obtained through the Sites, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator may award the same damages and relief that a court can award, applying substantive law as if the matter had been brought in court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Company.

Notice Requirement. Before initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send a written notice of the claim (“Notice”) to the other party. Notice to Company should be sent by certified mail to: Delta Defense, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1000 Freedom Way, West Bend, WI 53095 (“Notice Address”). If Company asserts a claim against you, it will send Notice to the most recent address we have on file for you. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may commence arbitration.

Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures and, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (collectively, “JAMS Rules”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by JAMS. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms of Use. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county of your billing address. For claims of US $10,000 or less, you may choose whether arbitration will be conducted solely on documents, by telephone, or by in-person hearing. Regardless of the manner in which arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Arbitration Fees. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after Company receives Notice that you have commenced arbitration, Company will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any; however, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator 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.

Severability of Arbitration Provision. If the class action waiver above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect, and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in Washington County, Wisconsin.

California Residents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a California resident, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed to limit, waive, or otherwise affect any non-waivable rights you may have under California law.

Governing Law. These Terms of Use and any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or the Sites shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, except that the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provision above. For California residents, the choice of Wisconsin law shall not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory provisions of California law that would otherwise apply.

Account Termination
