If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in New York, NY, Miami, FL, Denver, CO, Phoenix, AZ, Las Vegas, NV, or Salt Lake City, UT (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 York, New York. Maxx Companies agree 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 Maxx Platform, provided that nothing in these Terms will restrict a California resident’s right, if any, to pursue public injunctive relief as permitted by law.

MISCELLANEOUS

The failure of Maxx Companies to act with respect to a breach of these Terms by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit Maxx Companies’ rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by Maxx Companies of any of these Terms will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Maxx Companies. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms. Maxx Companies 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 Maxx Companies’ prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms are 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 or other decision-maker 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 Maxx Companies by virtue of Maxx Companies having drafted them. No amendment to or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by Maxx Companies. 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 Waiver, Limitation of Liability; Waiver and Arbitration).
