Applicable Law

The Website is controlled, operated, and administered by Erie Industrial Products from our offices within the United States. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Website, this Agreement, and all terms of use applicable to the Website, are governed by and will be interpreted by the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its conflicts of laws rules and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Ohio in all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Website. Use of the Website is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation, this section.

If you access the Website from a location outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with all non-US laws, including the local laws of your jurisdiction. You agree that you will not use the Website or content in any country or in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions, or regulations.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Erie Industrial Products, its officers, directors, employees, agents, independent contractors, telecommunication providers, affiliates, suppliers, vendors, its licensors, and third parties, from and against any and all claims, actions, loss, liabilities, expenses, costs, or demands, including without limitation legal and accounting fees, for all damages directly, indirectly, and/or consequentially resulting or allegedly resulting from, relating to, or arising out of your acts or omissions, including but not limited to your use of or inability to use the Website or services, including from outside the United States, any transmission or transfer of data in connection with, arising from, or resulting from your use of the Website, any user postings made by you, your violation of any terms of this Agreement or your violation of any rights of a third party, or your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

This indemnification shall survive any termination or discontinuation of the operation of the Website.

Arbitration

PLEASE REVIEW THESE SECTIONS CAREFULLY. AS DESCRIBED BELOW, IT (i) LIMITS YOUR ABILITY TO LITIGATE CERTAIN CLAIMS IN COURT; (ii) LIMITS YOUR ABILITY TO COMBINE CLAIMS AND TO BRING CLAIMS THROUGH CLASS ACTIONS, AND (iii) LIMITS YOUR ACCESS TO A JURY TRIAL.

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any dispute between them arising out of or concerning these Terms, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then such dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association, or a similar arbitration service selected by the parties, in Cleveland, Ohio. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having jurisdiction. In the event that any legal or equitable action, proceeding or arbitration arises out of or concerns these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. The parties agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The entire dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by the Arbitrator. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms.

Class Action Waiver

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and Erie Industrial Products agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
