Our Remedies
You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if our Terms and Conditions are not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of our Terms and Conditions by you, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of our Terms and Conditions. For purposes of this “Our Remedies” section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach will be brought in the courts of record of Travis County, Texas, or the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be affected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules.
Legal Disputes
You and we agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of our Terms and Conditions or your use of or access to UBL Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this “Legal Disputes” section. Please read this “Legal Disputes” section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.
Applicable Law
These Terms and Conditions are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
You agree that: (i) each UBL Service will be deemed solely based in the State of Texas; and (ii) each UBL Service will be deemed a passive UBL Service that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Texas.
Agreement to Arbitrate
Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this or any previous version of our Terms and Conditions, your use of or access to any UBL Service or any products or services sold, offered or purchased on or through any UBL Service, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of our Terms and Conditions by you as provided above, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this “Agreement to Arbitrate” section (this “Agreement to Arbitrate”).
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of our Terms and Conditions as a court would.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of our Terms and Conditions, including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or our Terms and Conditions is void or voidable.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in Travis County, Texas, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org.
You and we will select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited U.S. $1,000 with the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Travis County, Texas.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS.
THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. BY USING ANY UBL SERVICE, YOU CONSENT TO THESE RESTRICTIONS.
Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes
Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Travis County, Texas. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Travis County, Texas for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
Other Terms and Conditions
Other terms and conditions may apply to certain aspects of UBL Services, such as rules for a particular contest or other activity related to UBL Services or terms that accompany certain (i) software or content within, (ii) purchases made on or through, or (iii) other use of, UBL Services (“Other Terms”). You will have access to such Other Terms in connection with such contest, activity, content, purchase or use of UBL Services, and such Other Terms are expressly incorporated by reference into our Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to such Other Terms, you should not use any UBL Service or make purchases on or through any UBL Service. To the extent that such Other Terms conflict with our Terms and Conditions, such Other Terms will apply and control.
FROM TIME TO TIME, YOU MAY HAVE SIGNED OR OTHERWISE AGREED TO OTHER AGREEMENTS WITH US. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR FRANCHISEES AND AREA REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE PRINCIPALS, SIGN FRANCHISE AND AREA REPRESENTATIVE AGREEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS RELATED THERETO. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE NOT INTENDED TO ADDRESS YOUR AND OUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY OF THOSE SEPARATE AGREEMENTS. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE AGREEMENTS AND THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, THOSE AGREEMENTS WILL PREVAIL.
Miscellaneous
If any provision of our Terms and Conditions is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of our Terms and Conditions will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of our Terms and Conditions may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.
For purposes of our Terms and Conditions, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in our Terms and Conditions are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of our Terms and Conditions, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of our Terms and Conditions.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in our Terms and Conditions, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive your acceptance of our Terms and Conditions and the termination of our Terms and Conditions.
No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in our Terms and Conditions by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under our Terms and Conditions by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under our Terms and Conditions.
We may update, amend or change our Terms and Conditions at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on UBL Services. We encourage you to periodically check our Terms and Conditions for changes, as your continued access and use of any UBL Service following the posting of any changes will automatically be deemed your acceptance of all changes. If you do not agree to any change to these terms and conditions, you must discontinue using UBL Services. These Terms and Conditions replace all previous notices or statements with respect to this subject and cannot be modified orally or in writing by any of our associates, representatives, franchisees or any other third parties (including any guest service associates).
We may give, assign or transfer our rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give, assign or transfer your rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions to any person or entity without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. Any attempt to assign your rights or obligations under our Terms and Conditions without our consent will be void.
We will not be liable for any changes, delays, failures or problems out of our control, including any changes, delays, failures or problems caused by natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, shortage of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials and other similar events.
You and we are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by our Terms and Conditions.
These Terms and Conditions (together, with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference, including all of the Other Terms and incorporated terms) represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of our Terms and Conditions, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings or representations regarding our Terms and Conditions.
