  1. Agreement to Arbitrate
    YOU AND THE CVCO PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM THAT MAY ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND THE CVCO PARTIES RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE (A “CONTROVERSY”) SHALL BE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES, EXCEPT WHERE THERE IS A CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN AAA’S RULES AND PROCEDURES AND THESE TERMS OF USE, IN WHICH CASE, THESE TERMS OF USE WILL GOVERN. This arbitration agreement applies to any Controversy in connection with the website or involving the performance, construction, or breach of these Terms of Use.

    At least thirty (30) days prior to commencing any arbitration hereunder, you are required to give written notice of the facts and circumstances of your claim(s) to the CVCO Parties at 890 Winter Street, Suite 220, Waltham, MA 02451. The CVCO Parties may, but are under no obligation to, engage in privileged settlement negotiations with you during this 30-day period. To be valid, your notice of dispute must include: (1) your name; (2) an email address and telephone number at which you may be reached during business hours; (3) a description of the nature and basis of your claims or dispute (including, where applicable, specific dates); (4) an explanation of the specific relief sought; (5) your physical or electronic signature; and (6) if you have retained an attorney, your signed statement authorizing the CVCO Parties to disclose your confidential account records to your attorney if necessary in resolving your claim. NO SETTLEMENT DEMAND OR SETTLEMENT OFFER USED IN THIS PRE-DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS MAY BE USED IN ANY PROCEEDING, INCLUDING AS EVIDENCE OR AS AN ADMISSION OF ANY LIABILITY OR DAMAGES (OR LACK THEREOF).

    Each party will bear its own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees). Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. Where the amount of an alleged claim totals less than $250,000, the arbitration will be based on the submission of documents and shall be decided without a hearing, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.

    Federal and state statutes of limitation, repose, and/or other rules, laws, or regulations impose time limits for bringing claims in federal and state court actions and proceedings. The parties agree that all federal or state statutes of limitation, repose, and/or other rules, laws, or regulations imposing time limits that would apply in federal or state court, apply to any Controversy, and such time limits are hereby incorporated by reference. Therefore, to the extent that a Controversy arises and would be barred by a statute of limitation, repose or other time limit if brought in a federal or state court action or proceeding, the parties agree that such Controversy shall be barred in an arbitration proceeding, and that such defense may be asserted on a dispositive motion prior to any discovery.

    Any award in arbitration shall be limited to monetary damages and shall include no injunction or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Except to the extent required by law to be permitted, the arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive, consequential, special or other damages that are not directly compensatory in nature, regardless of the cause or foreseeability thereof. The arbitrator will have the authority to allocate the costs of the arbitration process among the parties, but will only have the authority to allocate attorneys’ fees if a particular applicable law so provides. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Use, nothing herein shall be read to prohibit the CVCO Parties from seeking injunctive relief against you in a court with appropriate jurisdiction in connection with your use of the website or any violation of these Terms of Use.

    You understand that the right to appeal or to seek modification of any ruling or award by the arbitrator is severely limited under state and federal law. This arbitration provision will be enforced and interpreted exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws of the United States, including the Federal Arbitration Act.

    If 25 or more individuals submit notices or attempt to initiate arbitrations with the CVCO Parties raising similar claims, and counsel for the individuals bringing the claims are the same or coordinated (“Mass Claims”), you and the CVCO Parties agree that if the claims are not resolved and proceed to arbitration, they shall proceed in staged bellwether proceedings. You understand and agree that if you choose to initiate your claim as part of Mass Claims, the adjudication of your claim might be delayed. Counsel for the individuals and counsel for the CVCO Parties shall each select ten cases (per side) to be filed and proceed in arbitration in a bellwether proceeding to be resolved individually. Each case shall be assigned to a separate arbitrator. In the meantime, no other cases may be filed in arbitration, and AAA shall not accept or administer arbitrations commenced in violation of these procedures. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the first stage bellwether proceeding, each side may select another ten cases (per side) to be filed in and proceed in arbitration in a second bellwether proceeding to be resolved individually. Each case shall be assigned to a separate arbitrator. This process shall continue until the parties are able to resolve all of the Mass Claims, either through settlement or arbitration. If these mass arbitration procedures apply to a claimant’s notice, any statute of limitations applicable to the claims set forth in that notice will be tolled from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether proceeding until the claimant’s notice is selected for a bellwether proceeding, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court will have the authority to enforce these mass arbitration procedures and, if necessary, to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations.

    Except as may be required by law, neither the parties nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

    You agree to the following additional provisions regardless of your place of residence at the time a Controversy arises:

    • You agree that any arbitration hearing will be held in Middlesex County, Massachusetts unless otherwise agreed by you and the CVCO Parties in a signed writing;
    • All arbitrations will be held in the English language unless otherwise agreed to by the parties; and

    You agree that this agreement to arbitrate shall be binding on you, your heirs, administrators, representatives, executors, successors and assigns.

    Waiver of Right to Pursue Class Action Claims
    YOU AND THE CVCO PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE RESOLVE ANY CONTROVERSIES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIMS AS A PLAINTIFF OF CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, YOU AND THE CVCO PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WILL NOT BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS, COORDINATED OR OTHER TYPE OF REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, WHETHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF ARBITRATION OR ON BEHALF OF YOU OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS.

    Governing Law; Venue
    These Terms of Use shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law, and any litigation arising out of or connected in any way with these Terms of Use shall take place on an individual basis exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts except to the extent that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in which case any such actions or proceedings shall occur exclusively in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts in connection with any such actions or proceedings, and agree not to claim that litigation in those courts is inconvenient or seek to transfer venue to any other court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, you and the CVCO Parties agree that the CVCO Parties may commence and maintain an action or proceeding seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect.

    Waiver of Jury Trial
    YOU AND THE CVCO PARTIES WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THESE TERMS OF USE.

    Entire Agreement
    These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

    Severability
    If any term or other provision of these Terms of Use is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of these Terms of Use shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.
