DISPUTES
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS SITE OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE DETERMINED BY ARBITRATION IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA BEFORE A PANEL OF THREE ARBITRATORS. The arbitrators must be either a retired judge from a federal or state court or a lawyer with 10 years active practice in technology, cybersecurity, or privacy law. This arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules or pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

1. The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement promptly by negotiation between executives who have the authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for the administration of this Agreement. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Notices to the Site should be sent first-class or certified mail to Brook Valley Thrift Stores, Inc., Attn: Legal/ Website, 4880 Valleydale Road, Birmingham 35242. Within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the receiving party shall submit to the other a written response. The notice and response shall include with reasonable particularity (a) a statement of each party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 30 days after delivery of the notice, the executives of both parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place.

2. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the negotiating parties, the above-described negotiation shall end at the close of the first meeting of executives described above (“First Meeting”). Such closure shall not preclude continuing or later negotiations, if desired. 3.

3. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that the evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the negotiation.

4. At no time prior to the First Meeting shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to the Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. However, this limitation is inapplicable to a party if the other party refuses to comply with the requirements of Paragraph 1 above.

5. All applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled while the procedures specified in Paragraphs 1 and 2 above are pending and for 15 calendar days thereafter. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

Within 15 days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator, and the two so selected shall select a third arbitrator within 30 days of the commencement of the arbitration. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within the allotted time, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with its rules. All arbitrators shall serve as neutral, independent, and impartial arbitrators.

The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the Hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in the preceding paragraph with respect to the applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C., Secs 1-16).

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement the arbitrator(s) are not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages except where permitted by statute, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damage.

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator(s) determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator(s) may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. The Parties adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of the Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules.

THIS SECTION REQUIRES THAT ANY CLAIMS, DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THIS SITE MUST BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION IS DEEMED TO BE A “WRITTEN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE” PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit and we believe it is a more efficient and less expensive way to resolve any dispute or disagreement. Arbitrators can award the same damages as a court can award.
