Please read this section carefully because it affects rights that you might otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court proceedings.

Arbitration is final, binding and subject to limited review by a court. You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of this agreement.

Any dispute or claim made by you against Germantown Hardware or against any of Germantown Hardware subsidiary, parent or affiliated companies arising out of or related to your use of the Site, whether based on contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court.

You may request arbitration if your dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted with the rules of a Nationwide Arbitration Organization as modified by this agreement. You and Germantown Hardware agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Any such arbitration shall be brought and held in Memphis, Tennessee, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not (i) award relief in excess of or contrary to what this agreement provides; (ii) order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis; or (iii) award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large and/or complex cases, the arbitrators may also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules.

Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor Germantown Hardware may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. The decisions of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties involved, and any judgment or decision on any arbitration may be entered in and specifically enforced in any court having proper jurisdiction.

If any portion of this section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect.

All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and Germantown Hardware. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing.

Any rights not expressly granted to you herein are reserved by and to Germantown Hardware, its affiliates, subsidiaries and licensors, and other third parties.

The Terms and the applicable terms of sale constitute the entire agreement between you and Germantown Hardware with respect to the subject matter thereof. This agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether written, oral or electronic, between you and Germantown Hardware with respect to the Site. No modification of the Terms shall be effective unless such modification is authored by Germantown Hardware or it is physically signed in blue ink by an executive officer of Germantown Hardware.

Any actual or alleged waiver by Germantown Hardware of any actual or alleged breach of the Terms by you shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any future breach.

A printed version of this agreement and / or any notice given by Germantown Hardware in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement or your use of the Site to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained by Germantown Hardware in printed form.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, you agree that the invalid or unenforceable provision will be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the agreement shall continue to govern your use of the Site.
