Informal Negotiations.

Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. You address is the email address submitted with the creation of a User account. CHT’s address for such notices is:

213 Lorax Lane, Pittsboro,
North Carolina 27312:

Binding Arbitration. If you and CHT are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Applications will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and CHT may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Waiver of Right to be a Plaintiff or Class Member in a Purported Class Action or Representative Proceeding. You and CHT agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between CHT and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND CHT ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and CHT otherwise agree, 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.

Location of Arbitration. Arbitration will take place in Seattle, Washington. You and CHT agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the Washington state and Federal courts located in King County have exclusive jurisdiction and you and CHT agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Right to Opt Out of Arbitration and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. You may opt out of the foregoing arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision of this Agreement by notifying CHT in writing within 30 days of the date you first registered for the Applications or 30 days from the date this Agreement was last updated. To opt out, you must send a written notification to CHT at 213 Lorax Lane, Pittsboro, North Carolina 27312, that includes (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provisions.

Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement will be is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to choice of law principles.

21. MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF SERVICE.
We can amend these Terms of Service at any time and will update these Terms of Service in the event of any such amendments. It is your sole responsibility to check the Applications from time to time to view any such changes in the Agreement.

However, we will notify you of material changes to the terms by posting a notice on our homepage and/or sending an email to the email address you provided to us upon registration. For this additional reason, you should keep your contact and profile information current. Any changes to these Terms of Service (other than as set forth in this paragraph) or waiver of CHT’s rights hereunder shall not be valid or effective except in a written agreement bearing the physical signature of an officer of CHT. No purported waiver or modification of this Agreement by CHT via telephonic or email communications shall be valid.

22. GENERAL TERMS.
If any part of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion of the Agreement will be construed consistent with applicable law. The remaining portions will remain in full force and effect. Any failure on the part of CHT to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of our right to enforce such provision. Our rights under this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.

You agree that any cause of action related to or arising out of your relationship with CHT must commence within ONE year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

These Terms of Service and your use of the Application are governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
