Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, you will have no obligation under this section to the extent that any Claim relates, arises, or is otherwise connected to acts or omissions constituting our sole misconduct or negligence.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Governing Law. To the fullest extent of applicable law, this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” section will be governed, interpreted by, and enforced according to the Federal Arbitration Act and federal law.
Informal Resolution. You and Ensourced agree to attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of, or relating to these Terms, including its breach, interpretation, or validity, or use of the Site or Services (each, a “Dispute”) by informal resolution. You may contact us at reachus@ensourced.com to bring notice of any Dispute you may have with us.
Binding Arbitration. If you and Ensourced are not able to resolve any Dispute informally, you and we agree that the Dispute will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without having to post bond therefor, in order to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s Content or intellectual property rights.
You further acknowledge and agree that you and Ensourced waive the right to a trial by jury, or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
Further, unless both you and we otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules, or, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Disputes Resolution” section. A copy of the AAA Rules are available at:
https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Commercial%20Rules.pdf; and
https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.
You may receive more information by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written “Demand for Arbitration” as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Oregon and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and Ensourced otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitrator’s award damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The arbitrator will have the right to award attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, to the extent provided under applicable law.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, we will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose.
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the “Changes to our Terms” section above, if we change this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to reachus@ensourced.com) within 30 days of the effective date of the change, as indicated in the “Last Updated Date” above, or the date of our notice to you of such changes. By rejecting any change, you are agree that you will arbitrate any Dispute according to the “Dispute Resolution” section of these Terms as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
GOVERNING LAW & JURISDICTION
These Terms and any action arising out of, or related to these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act in regards to the “Dispute Resolution” section above.
You agree to accept the jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Portland, Oregon, and each party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. However, if either party seeks injunctive relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of its copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property, such relief may be sought in any court having jurisdiction over the parties.
COMPLETE AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Ensourced and you regarding its subject matter, and supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Ensourced and you regarding its subject matter.
BINDING EFFECT & ASSIGNMENT
These Terms are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns. The rights granted to you under these Terms are personal, and you may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations under these Terms, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this section will be null and void. We may assign or transfer these Terms or any of our rights, obligations, or licenses under these Terms at any time in our sole discretion, without restriction and without prior notice to you.

SEVERABILITY
Except as otherwise stated in these Terms, if a court of competent jurisdiction or the arbitrator to any Dispute finds that any provision of these Terms, or compliance by any of the parties with any of its provisions, is unlawful or unenforceable, the provision will be modified to the extent required to make it lawful and enforceable and effect the intent of the parties. If such modification is not possible, the unlawful or unenforceable provision will be severed from the Terms and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.
