- INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend and indemnify Convoy Car Shipping from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of:
- Your breach of this agreement or the documents referenced herein.
- Your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
- Your use of the services.
- ARBITRATION
Disputes, controversies or claims between the parties, whether relating to these Terms, an Order, Convoy Car Shipping’s services, or any other obligation of the Customer to Convoy Car Shipping, shall be settled through binding arbitration, thereby avoiding resolution in conventional courts. However, there are exceptions where the Customer or Convoy Car Shipping may: (1) go to small claims court if the claims are admissible in such a context, and (2) initiate legal action in competent courts to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights, including seeking temporary restraining orders. The arbitration will be governed by both the Federal Arbitration Act and the relevant federal arbitration laws.
Unlike a court proceeding, arbitration does not involve the presence of a judge or jury and the chances of judicial review of an arbitration award are reduced. However, the arbitrator has the power to award remedies and damages similar to those that a court might award, including injunctive relief and declaratory or declaratory judgments or statutory damages.
Before proceeding with arbitration, the Customer must, at least thirty (30) days in advance, submit to Convoy Car Shipping a detailed, personally signed letter specifying the legal claims, the relief requested and requesting arbitration. This letter should be sent to Convoy Car Shipping – 901 H St Ste 120, Sacramento, CA 95814 via certified courier service requiring signature upon receipt. Convoy Car Shipping will follow a similar procedure, using email if it does not have a physical address for the Customer.
Arbitration shall be conducted under the rules of the National Arbitration Mediation (“NAM”), including those for consumer disputes, unless otherwise specified herein. Both Customer and Convoy Car Shipping grant the arbitrator the power to decide whether to arbitrate. Administrative and arbitration costs will be determined in accordance with NAM rules, with the complaining party responsible for filing fees. If the Customer wins, the Customer may seek reimbursement of its expenses. Conversely, Convoy Car Shipping may seek reimbursement of legal fees if the arbitration declares the Customer’s claims to be unfounded. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and may be conducted by telephone, in writing or in person in the Customer’s county or other agreed upon location.
If multiple disputes arise regarding the same or similar matters, they will be arbitrated in the order in which they arose, provided they are all resolved within three (3) years. This arbitration agreement shall continue in effect even after the termination of these terms.
- JURY TRIAL AND SMALL CLAIMS COURT
In the event that any claim must be resolved in a court of law rather than through arbitration, both parties agree to waive the right to a jury trial. In addition, both the Customer and Convoy Car Shipping have the right to bring claims in competent courts to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights, including seeking temporary injunctive relief.
- ADDITIONAL RIGHTS
Consumer laws and other relevant regulations, which prohibit the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, may grant you additional rights. If such laws apply to your situation, exclusions or limitations contained in these terms of use that directly conflict with these laws may not apply to you.
- CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS AND THEIR RIGHTS.
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California consumers have the right to file complaints and grievances. Complaints may be directed to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Consumer Services Division of the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Complaints may be sent in writing to 1625 North Market Blvd, Suite N 112, Sacramento CA 95834, by calling (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210, or by emailing dca@dca.ca.gov.
- APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION
These terms of use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, specifically those of the State of DE. Any dispute relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts of the State of DE. This applies unless binding arbitration is agreed to under the applicable section.
- SEVERABILITY
In the event that any provision of these terms of use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary to ensure that the remainder of the terms of use remains valid and in full force and effect.
- WAIVER
Convoy Car Shipping’s failure to act in the exercise or enforcement of any right or provision of these terms of use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. For a waiver by Convoy Car Shipping of these terms of use to be effective, it must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Convoy Car Shipping.
- MARKETING
Convoy Car Shipping has the right to mention your name and/or Convoy Car Shipping’s name, logo and trademarks, and to feature you as a user or customer on its website and in other marketing or promotional materials directed to current or potential customers, partners and investors.
