  1. Applicable Law, Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

The laws of the State of Oregon will govern these Terms of Use and any disputes under them, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use shall be exclusively settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Washington County, Oregon. Any arbitration award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.

All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated or litigated on an individual basis and not on a class basis. Claims of more than one user cannot be arbitrated or litigated jointly or consolidated with those of any other user. You and Ballplayer will each bear its own expenses in the arbitration and will share equally the costs of the arbitration; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall award costs and fees to the prevailing party if it is determined that the other party submitted a claim with no reasonable basis or filed any claim in bad faith.

You are giving up the right to litigate a dispute with Ballplayer before a judge or jury. If a dispute arises, you must give Ballplayer written notice and an opportunity to resolve it. Your notice must include your name, your address, a written description of the dispute, and a specific description of the relief you are seeking. If Ballplayer does not resolve the dispute within 45 days after receiving your notice, you may pursue arbitration by sending a written demand for arbitration to Ballplayer at the address listed in Section 22.

You may opt out of the agreement to arbitrate by providing written notice of your intention to do so to Ballplayer at the address listed in Section 22 no later than 60 days after initial acceptance of these Terms.  The procedure spelled out herein is the only way to opt out of arbitration, and any attempts to opt out after the deadline set forth herein will be ineffective. Notwithstanding your decision to opt out of arbitration, you still waive the ability to participate in any class or representative litigation.
