Dispute Resolution

​

Your use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give full effect to all provisions of the Terms. CCC&R makes no representation or warranty that Materials and Content on the Site are appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction. Your use of the Site is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give full effect to all provisions of the Terms, and you agree not to access this Site in any jurisdiction where all or any portion of the Site violates any legal requirements. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws. Any use in contravention of any provision of the Terms is at your own risk.  

CCC&R and You each recognize and agree that good faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often result in prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcomes. Therefore, You and CCC&R each agree that, before either of us may commence an arbitration or assert a claim in small claims court, You and CCC&R will engage in the following informal dispute resolution process:  

 

  • You must first present any claim or dispute to CCC&R by contacting the customer care center to allow CCC&R the opportunity to resolve any dispute. To initiate informal dispute resolution, You must provide CCC&R your full name and contact information; a description of your claim; information about the specific purchase, transaction or matter at issue; your counsel’s name and contact information, if applicable; and a description of the relief sought.  

  • You and CCC&R will personally meet and confer, via teleconference or videoconference, in a good faith effort to informally resolve any claim covered by this provision. If either You or CCC&R is represented by counsel, that counsel may, but is not required to, participate in the informal dispute resolution conference.  

  • Either party may request arbitration or a proceeding in small claims court, as applicable, if your dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by us.  

  • Any statute of limitations will be tolled while You and CCC&R engage in the informal dispute resolution process described in this section. 

Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Venue:  

 

  • You agree that this agreement and your use of the Site will be governed by the laws of the state of Alabama. By using the Site, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts, tribunals, agencies and other dispute resolution organizations in Mobile, Alabama, in all disputes (i) arising out of, relating to or concerning this agreement, the Site and your use thereof; (ii) in which the Site and/or this agreement is an issue or a material fact; or (iii) in which the Site or this agreement is referenced in a paper filed in a court, tribunal, agency or other dispute resolution organization.  

 

Waiver of Rights:  

 

  • YOU AGREE TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIMS FOR PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES AND ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE CLAIMS ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, WHICH RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE SITE OR THIS AGREEMENT.  

  • CCC&R AND YOU UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS CLAIM OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, CCC&R AND YOU AGREE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS AGREEMENT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AND RESOLVED IN COURT BY A JURY.   

 

Arbitration: 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 different than court. There is no judge or jury, but the arbitrator can award damages. Arbitration is final, binding and subject to only limited review by a court. By using the Site, you agree to give up your right to a trial in court except for certain small claims as described below.  

  • You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of this agreement. This section shall be broadly interpreted to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Site. Any dispute or claim made by you against CCC&R or against any of CCC&R’s 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 either party may elect to have such claims heard in small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court.  

  • You must first present any claim or dispute to CCC&R by contacting the customer care center to allow CCC&R the opportunity to resolve any dispute, as outlined more fully above. Either party may request arbitration or a proceeding in small claims court, as applicable, if your dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by us. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted with the rules of a Nationwide Arbitration Organization as modified by this agreement, and there will be NO JURY TRIAL. Any arbitration demand must be signed by the claimant and must include a description of the claim; information about the specific purchase, transaction or matter at issue; and a description of relief sought.  

  • You and CCC&R agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the US Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Any such arbitration shall be brought and held in Mobile, Alabama, 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 (a) 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, and (b) in the event the claim brought is frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, or claimant continues to prosecute a claim after the claim becomes frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, claimant will be required to reimburse respondent for its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in the investigation, defense and/or settlement of such claims, and all other amounts allowed by law. 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 CCC&R 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.  

  • Claimant will be required to pay any applicable filing fees. All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and CCC&R. Unless an applicable statute expressly permits awarding attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses, and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing. However, as noted above, in the event the claim brought is frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, or claimant continues to prosecute a claim after the claim becomes frivolous, unreasonable or without foundation, claimant will be required to reimburse respondent for its costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in the investigation, defense and/or settlement of such claims, and all other amounts allowed by law.  

​
