  11. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH CLASS ACTION WAIVER

    PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

    If you have a legal dispute with Hawkeye, except where prohibited by applicable law, you and we hereby agree to proceed as follows:
    • Any dispute, claim or controversy between you and Hawkeye that arises from or relates in any way to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, or Hawkeye’s relationship with you (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be exclusively resolved through binding individual arbitration except as specifically provided otherwise herein. “Dispute” as used in this section shall have the broadest possible meaning and include claims that arose before the existence of these Terms (or any prior agreement or terms). YOU AND HAWKEYE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT IN FAVOR OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW). YOU AND HAWKEYE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. If there is a judicial determination that any particular claim cannot be arbitrated in accordance with this provision’s limitations, then only that claim may be brought in court. All other claims remain subject to this provision.
    • Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use with Hawkeye, a detailed description of the dispute and the relief that you seek. Any Notice of Dispute that you send to us should be emailed to us at Marketing@hawkeyegroup.onmicrosoft.com with a copy mailed to Hawkeye Group 3522 Commerce Dr, Warsaw IN, 46580 . Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a Notice of Dispute to the email address that you use with Hawkeye (or by other appropriate means). If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
    • The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Hawkeye Group 3522 Commerce Dr, Warsaw IN, 46580. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider, in Indiana. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000 (not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest) shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’ rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
    • You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    • Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Hawkeye may elect to have an individual claim heard in a small claims court having jurisdiction over the claim. If the request to proceed in small claims court is made after an arbitration has been initiated but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration shall be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction shall be determined by the small claims court. All other issues (except as otherwise provided herein) are exclusively for the arbitrator to decide, including but not limited to scope and enforceability of these Terms, as well as any request to proceed in small claims court that is made after an arbitrator has been appointed.
    • You may opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days of the date that you agreed to these Terms (which will be deemed to have occurred on your first visit to the Site or the making of an order with Hawkeye, whichever is first). To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, username, email address or phone number you use with Hawkeye (and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement) to: Marketing@hawkeyegroup.onmicrosoft.com .
    • ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THESE TERMS MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS; ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE; AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the state or federal courts located in the State of Indiana. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
    • YOU AND HAWKEYE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Hawkeye are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under these Terms, except as specified in subsection (e), (f), and (g) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
    • The foregoing shall not preclude Hawkeye from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction located in other countries and jurisdictions for protection of Hawkeye’s intellectual property.
  12. Miscellaneous
    • Waiver and Severability. To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines any part of the terms and conditions in these Terms to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be modified by the court solely to the extent necessary to cause that part to be enforceable, and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. Hawkeye’s failure to exercise or enforce a legal right, remedy or benefit which is contained in these Terms or any applicable law does not constitute waiver of its right to do so later.
    • Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to conflict of law provisions, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (to the extent permitted by applicable law). If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration (including any claims brought by parties outside the United States), the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Fort Wayne, IN.
    • Assignment. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms. These Terms will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, and licensees. You may not assign, transfer, or sell (voluntarily or by operation of law) your rights or obligations under these Terms, nor delegate your duties hereunder to any other person, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment without our consent will be void and will constitute a breach of these Terms.
