Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Agreement:

Arbitration:

By using or purchasing Greenhouse Megastore products or services, you agree that any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and Greenhouse Megastore arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms, or the breach thereof; or (b) your access to or use of Greenhouse Megastore’s website or the services or the materials; or (c) any alleged violation of any federal or state or local law, statute or ordinance (each such controversy or claim, a “Claim”), shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its applicable rules.

Arbitration is a form of dispute resolution in which parties agree to submit their disputes and potential disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial. The arbitrator is obligated to issue a reasoned award in writing, including all findings of fact and law upon which the award was made. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law, and the arbitrator’s award may be vacated or corrected through judicial review by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party’s attorneys’ fees, expert costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with arbitration will be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses.  

Arbitration Procedures:

Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. Arbitrations shall be held in Danville, Illinois, United States but the parties may choose whether to appear in person, by phone, or through the submission of documents.  The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and by the internal laws of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. Any disputes in this regard shall be resolved exclusively by an arbitrator. If, but only if, the arbitrator determines the FAA does not apply, New York law governing arbitration agreements will apply. All disputes with respect to whether the foregoing mutual arbitration provisions are unenforceable, unconscionable, applicable, valid, void or voidable shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court.

Exclusion from Arbitration:

Notwithstanding the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you may choose to pursue a Claim in court and not by arbitration if you opt-out of these arbitration procedures within 30 days from the date that you first purchase any of Greenhouse Megastore’s products or services (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out by mailing a written notification to 70 Eastgate Dr. Danville, Illinois, 61834. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Greenhouse Megastore. You are responsible for ensuring Greenhouse Megastore’s receipt of your opt-out notice, and you therefore may wish to send a notice by means that provide a written receipt.  Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Claim in arbitration.

Class Action Waiver:

You and Greenhouse Megastore agree that you may bring or participate in Claims against Greenhouse Megastore only in your respective individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.  Unless both you and Greenhouse Megastore agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, any Claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers. It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.

GMS will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third party complaint of alleged infringement of the third party's intellectual property rights.

E-COMMERCE

The Site may offer products or services for sale and your transaction may be subject to additional sales terms and policies (which will be considered Additional Terms for purposes of these Terms). You agree to pay all applicable fees and any applicable taxes. GMS may automatically charge and withhold the applicable sales tax for orders. Otherwise, you are solely responsible for all sales taxes, or other taxes, on orders shipped to you.

Sometimes the Site may offer products for sale where the transaction is facilitated by the operator of a third party platform hosting the Site. In such cases, your billing relationship will be with the third-party vendor and additional terms and conditions imposed by the vendor may apply. These Terms will continue to apply to your access to and use of the purchased product or service, except where these Terms conflict with terms imposed by the third-party vendor.

In the event a product is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to typographical error or error received from its suppliers, GMS shall have the right, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, to refuse or cancel any orders placed for product listed at the incorrect price. GMS shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is properly canceled, GMS will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e‑mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify GMS’s acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of GMS’s offer to sell. GMS reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline your order for any reason. GMS reserves the right at any time after receipt of your order, without prior notice to you, to supply less than the quantity you ordered of any item.

We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site or any portion of the Site, to any person, geographic area, or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any content, program, product, service or other feature that we provide.

Software related to or made available by the Site may be subject to United States export controls. Thus, no software from the Site may be downloaded, exported or re-exported: (a) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Crimea, North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other country to which the United States has embargoed goods or that has been designated by the U.S. government as “terrorist supporting”; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT/GOVERNING LAW/CLASS ACTION WAIVER/DISPUTE RESOLUTION

BOTH YOU AND GMS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. BOTH YOU AND GMSWAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION RELATED ANY DISPUTE THAT IS BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THE JAMS (DEFINED BELOW) RULES TO THE CONTRARY, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR ANY JURISDICTION TO HEAR THE ARBITRATION AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR OTHERWISE COMBINE THE CLAIMS OF DIFFERENT PERSONS INTO ONE PROCEEDING.

You agree that these Terms and your use of our Site is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided, however, GMS shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal courts in New Castle County, Delaware and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator's decision and award are final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree that, except as set forth elsewhere in this section, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. ("JAMS") or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a "Demand for Arbitration," then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service who will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Dallas, TX; Chicago, IL; New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA; or Atlanta, GA (whichever is closest to your residence) or – where required by the JAMS rules –  in or near your hometown. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New Castle County, Delaware.  GMS agrees to pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel or other costs incurred by you to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of these Terms or the Site, provided that nothing in these Terms will restrict a California resident’s right, if any, to pursue public injunctive relief as permitted by law and as otherwise in accordance with this section.

MISCELLANEOUS

The failure of GMS to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit GMS;s  rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by GMS of any of these Terms will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of GMS. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms. GMS may assign its rights and duties under these Terms to any party at any time without any notice to you. Terms may not be assigned by you without GMS’s prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. If a court, arbitrator, or other adjudicative body should determine that any provisions of these Terms is overbroad, unfair or unreasonable, such provision shall be given effect to the maximum extent possible by narrowing or enforcing in part that aspect of the provision found overbroad or unreasonable. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against GMS by virtue of GMS having drafted them. No amendment to or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by GMS. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination shall survive the termination of these Terms for any reason (including without limitation, “Disclaimer of Warranties,” “Limitation of Liability; Waiver” and “Arbitration Agreement”).

OUR RIGHT TO UPDATE THESE TERMS

GMS reserves the right to modify or add to these Terms at any time without prior notice ("Updated Terms"). You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Site so that they are accessible via a link on the homepage or otherwise, and that your use of a Site after we have posted the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms before using a Site. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of a Site from that point forward.
