8.1 General.  If a dispute arises between you and TJCIS and/or TOBA, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and We agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms or the Service (a “Claim”) in accordance with one of the subsections below or as We and you otherwise agree in writing.

8.2 Applicable Law.  These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the Commonwealth of Kentucky between Kentucky residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

The Service is operated out of the United States of America.  We do not represent the content or materials present in the Service are appropriate for use in other locations.  If you access the Service from a jurisdiction outside of the United States, you agree that you do so on your own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws where you reside or where you access the Service, if and to the extent that such laws are applicable to your use of the Service.

8.3       Arbitration.  Any dispute or question arising as to the interpretation of any clause of, or the rights and liabilities of the parties under or in any manner relating to these Terms and Conditions and connected in any manner with use of the Service, if not resolved by negotiation, shall be referred to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator in Lexington, Kentucky, under the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association relating to the selection of arbitrators for the determination of issues.  This agreement to arbitrate is supported by adequate consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged.  The decision of the arbitrator will be binding, final and conclusive on the parties, and judgment on the arbitrator’s decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  This agreement to arbitrate is binding upon the respective successors, heirs, legal representatives, assigns and transferees of the parties.  The arbitrator may, sua sponte or upon the written request of a party, issue written directions as to the scope and timetable for discovery.  In the event that the arbitrator should determine that the matter(s) in dispute may be resolved by a review of a written record, and that a hearing is not necessary, each party waives the right to a hearing.  The arbitrator shall be charged to render a written opinion reciting the facts as determined and the applicable law as applied.  The arbitrator may award injunctive and other equitable relief, as well as an award of monetary damages.  No claim of fraud, duress or other basis for revocation of contract made with respect to these agreed Terms and Conditions shall limit or preclude the enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate except as such fraud, duress or other basis for revocation shall arise with particularity to this agreement to arbitrate, and each party conclusively agrees that this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the separability doctrine of Prima Paint Corp. v. Flood and Conklin Mfg. Co., 388 U.S. 395 (1967).

All claims filed or brought contrary to Section 8.2 shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to Section 8.3, We shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs actually incurred, provided that We have notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

9. SEVERABILITY

You and We agree that if any portion of these Terms or of the Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Assignment.  We may assign or delegate these Terms and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent.

10.4 No Waiver.  Our failure to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or the Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Our right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.  The express waiver by Us of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms or the Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by Us shall be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed representative of OwnerView.

Any notices that you provide without compliance with this Section on Notices shall have no legal effect.

10.6 Equitable Remedies.  You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms to Us are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Us and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, We shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.
