9. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or this website are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Subject to the arbitration provision in Section 10, you agree that any action not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

 

10. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read this Section carefully. It requires you to arbitrate most disputes with BK Systems and limits the way you can seek relief.

a. Informal resolution first. Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at privacy@bksystemsinc.com and describe the dispute, so we can attempt to resolve it informally. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may proceed to arbitration.

b. Agreement to arbitrate. You and BK Systems agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your access to or use of this website — including the validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration provision — shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as set out below. This provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.).

c. Delegation. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration provision, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable.

d. Arbitration body and rules. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, as modified by these Terms. The arbitration shall take place in Merrimack County, New Hampshire, or, at your election, by telephone or video, or based solely on written submissions where permitted by the applicable rules.

e. Exceptions. Either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (ii) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or prevent unauthorized access to the website.

f. Right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to BK Systems at the address in Section 15 within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

 

11. Class Action Waiver

YOU AND BK SYSTEMS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request shall be severed and may proceed in court, while all other claims shall remain in arbitration.

 

12. Jury Trial Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except where a dispute proceeds in court under Section 10(e), you and BK Systems each waive any right to a trial by jury in any action arising out of or relating to these Terms or this website.

 

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The class action waiver in Section 11 is subject to the specific severability rule stated within that Section.

 

14. Changes to These Terms

BK Systems may update or modify these Terms from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. For material changes — including any change to the arbitration provision or class action waiver — we will take reasonable steps to provide notice. Your continued use of the website following the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to a material change to Sections 10 or 11, you may opt out of the change as described in Section 10(f) within 30 days of its effective date.
