Breach of Terms of Use And Liquidated Damages

Entire Agreement
These Terms of Use and other agreements, rules, and policies incorporated by reference to these Terms including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and J4G. It supersedes any prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions or agreements, whether written or oral, between you and J4G regarding the subject matter contained in these Terms of Use.
Legal Disputes
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND J4G HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
You and J4G agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of our Terms of Service Agreement, your use of or access to the Site or Services, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section.
Choice of Law. This Agreement is made under and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
Claim Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out or related to Your use of the Site or Service or these Terms of Use shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or will forever be barred.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and J4G each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and J4G relating in any way to or arising out of this or previous versions of the Terms of Service Agreement, your use of or access to J4G’s Services, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Site or Services will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court in Cook County, Illinois, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS Arbitration (“JAMS”) under its applicable rules and procedures, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes.
Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator and not a judge or jury. You understand that arbitration procedures can be more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review in court.
You and we must abide by the following rules: (a) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF, (c) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (d) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (e) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and (f) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and then in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.
With the exception of subparts (a) and (b) in the paragraph above (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (a) or (b) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither you nor we will be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Cook County, Illinois. In which case, You agree and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois and waive any defense of lack of personal jurisdiction or improper venue or forum non conveniens to a claim brought in such court, except that J4G may elect, in its sole discretion, to litigate the action in the county or state where any breach by You occurred or where You can be found. You further agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary or if this arbitration provision is invalid, null and void, any claim or cause of action thaty You may have against J4G arising out or related to Your use of the Site or Service or these Terms of Use shall be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or will forever be barred.
Miscellaneous
If you breach any term of these Terms of Use or other agreement with J4G, J4G may pursue any legal or equitable remedy available, including but not limited to, direct, consequential, and punitive damages and injunctive relief. J4G remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. Failure of J4G to exercise any remedy or enforce any portion of the Terms of Use at any time shall not operate as a waiver of any remedy or of the right to enforce any portion of the Agreement at any time thereafter. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. These Terms of Use are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with J4G’s prior written consent. We may transfer, assign or delegate the Terms and its rights and obligations without consent. Users of this Sites and Services are responsible for compliance with all applicable regulations and laws. No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you, J4G or any of its discount partners or sponsors as a result of these Terms of Use or use of the Sites and Services. You acknowledge and agree that each of the Released Parties shall be an intended third party beneficiary of these Terms of Use.
