15. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION; AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL.
GOVERNING LAW.
By using the Sites or making a purchase through the Sites, you agree that the service is governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
ARBITRATION.
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM MACROWISE. FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH MACROWISE YOU AGREE TO FIRST CONTACT THE COMPANY VIA EMAIL AT INFO@MACROWISE.COM AND ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WITH THE COMPANY INFORMALLY. FOR ANY DISPUTE MACROWISE HAS WITH YOU, MACROWISE AGREES TO FIRST CONTACT YOU VIA EMAIL TO ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE IT INFORMALLY. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT YOU AND MACROWISE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE IT HAS WITH YOU AFTER SIXTY (60) DAYS, YOU AND MACROWISE AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY (EXCLUDING ANY CLAIMS FOR INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF AS PROVIDED BELOW) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO MACROWISE, INCLUDING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OR THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH THEREOF (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”), BY BINDING ARBITRATION BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), UNDER ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES THEN IN EFFECT. IN THE EVENT AAA IS UNABLE TO CONDUCT THE ARBITRATION, ADR SERVICES, INC. OR AN AGREED UPON ARBITRATOR SHALL CONDUCT THE ARBITRATION. YOU AND MACROWISE AGREE THAT DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE VALIDITY, APPLICATION, SCOPE, ENFORCEABILITY, OR INTERPRETATION OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL ALSO BE DECIDED BY THE ARBITRATOR. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION HOWEVER SHALL BE DEEMED TO PREVENT MACROWISE FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF FROM ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION AS NECESSARY TO PREVENT THE ACTUAL OR THREATENED INFRINGEMENT, MISAPPROPRIATION, OR VIOLATION OF OUR DATA SECURITY, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
MACROWISE WILL PAY YOUR REASONABLE FEES FOR INITIATING AND PROCEEDING WITH ANY ARBITRATION SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST $200.00 OF SUCH FEES FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FORGOING, IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR INDIVIDUAL MONETARY RECOVERY IN THE ARBITRATION IS LESS THAN THE FINAL AMOUNT OFFERED BY MACROWISE TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE THROUGH THE EMAIL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS REQUIRED BEFORE FILING THE ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD MACROWISE THE AMOUNT OF ARBITRATION FEES IT HAS PAID PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH.
IF 25 OR MORE CLIENTS SEND EMAIL NOTICES OF DISPUTES WITH MACROWISE RAISING SIMILAR CLAIMS THAT ARE NOT RESOLVED INFORMALLY, THE CLAIMS SHALL PROCEED IN ARBITRATION IN A COORDINATED PROCEEDING. COUNSEL FOR THE CLIENTS AND COUNSEL FOR MACROWISE SHALL EACH SELECT FIVE CASES TO PROCEED FIRST IN ARBITRATION IN A BELLWETHER PROCEEDING. THE REMAINING CASES SHALL NOT BE FILED IN ARBITRATION UNTIL THE FIRST TEN HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. UPON SENDING A NOTICE OF DISPUTE BY EMAIL OR FILING A COMPLAINT IN COURT, THE STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS APPLICABLE TO A CLIENT’S DISPUTE ARE TOLLED UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE COORDINATED ARBITRATION PROCEEDING DESCRIBED HERE. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE REMAINING CASES AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE BELLWETHER PROCEEDING, EACH SIDE MAY SELECT ANOTHER FIVE CASES TO PROCEED TO ARBITRATION FOR A SECOND BELLWETHER PROCEEDING. THIS PROCESS MAY CONTINUE UNTIL THE PARTIES ARE ABLE TO RESOLVE ALL THE CLAIMS, EITHER THROUGH SETTLEMENT OR ARBITRATION. A COURT WILL HAVE AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE THIS CLAUSE AND, IF NECESSARY, TO ENJOIN THE MASS FILING OF ARBITRATION DEMANDS AGAINST MACROWISE. IN THE EVENT THIS BELLWETHER PROCEDURE CAUSES DELAYS OF MORE THAN THREE YEARS IN RESOLVING A DISPUTE, AND THE INDIVIDUAL AMOUNT CLAIMED IN THE DISPUTE DOES NOT EXCEED $10,000.00, EITHER YOU OR MACROWISE MAY OPT OUT OF THIS PROCESS AND PROCEED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
You agree that all Claims must be brought in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless MACROWISE agrees otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims. If any provision of this paragraph is determined to be unenforceable with respect to any claim or any particular remedy for a claim (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim or particular remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must remain in court, be severed from any arbitration, and be stayed until the conclusion of any Claims or remedies subject to arbitration.
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after using the Sites or making a purchase through the Sites by sending a letter to: MACROWISE Legal Department, 3500 Mystic Pointe Drive, 8th Floor, Aventura, FL 33180, stating Your name, MACROWISE Client account number, and your intent to opt out of the arbitration agreement. If you do not opt out, this arbitration agreement overrides any different arbitration agreement between you and MACROWISE.
16. INDEMNIFICATION.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless MACROWISE, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, the successors and assigns to each of the foregoing, and the directors, officers, owners, employees, agents, and/or representatives of each of the foregoing (the foregoing each as an “MACROWISE Indemnitee”), from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, causes of action or proceedings and any and all obligations, liability, damages, or expenses (including all costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees; together as “Losses”) imposed on, assumed by, incurred by or asserted against any MACROWISE Indemnitee in any way arising out of, relating to, or resulting from your violation of this Agreement, or your infringement, or the infringement or use by any other user of your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
17. PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION.
By making payment for purchases of MACROWISE ‘s products, you certify that you are the owner of the debit card, credit card, or bank account that you submit to MACROWISE for all such purchases. You are solely responsible for all activity and purchases on your account with the Sites. You hereby authorize MACROWISE to initiate charges to your debit card, credit card, or bank account for all orders on your account, including any auto-ship orders, and any applicable sales tax, shipping and handling charges. The risk of loss and the title for Our products will pass to You upon Our delivery of the products to the shipping carrier. Unless MACROWISE is notified otherwise by means of a submission on your online account on the Sites, this authorization will remain in effect. Any notification to terminate any such authorization must be done in a reasonable time thereafter (as determined by MACROWISE) as would allow your financial institution and MACROWISE a reasonable opportunity to terminate such authorization.
The foregoing authorization is an express agreement that MACROWISE shall not be liable for any overdraft or insufficient funds charges, such as finance charges and late fees, that are caused by your failure to maintain sufficient funds to pay MACROWISE for your purchases and charges hereunder or through the Sites. If there are insufficient funds in your account, it may result in MACROWISE charging reasonable service fees and/or interest in connection therewith.
18. PRODUCTS ARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY AND MAY NOT BE RESOLD.
Any purchase you make through the Sites must be for your own personal use and you agree to not resell MACROWISE products. Without the express prior written consent of MACROWISE, you will not sell, resell, offer, display, or facilitate the selling, reselling, offering, or displaying of any MACROWISE -branded products to any third party, in any manner, either directly or indirectly through any intermediary or third-party platforms, including, but not limited to Amazon, online auction websites such as eBay, or any other e-commerce websites. These obligations and prohibitions continue even after any termination or cancellation of your relationship with MACROWISE.

You will comply with all applicable export laws, restrictions, and regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority and will not export or re-export, or allow the export or re-export, of any product, technology or information obtained or acquired in connection with the Sites in violation of any such laws, restrictions, or regulations. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power, or privilege.
