-
GOVERNING LAW; INVESTIGATIONS; DISPUTES.
-
14.1. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to conflict of law rules, as well as the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, govern these Terms and any dispute that might arise between you and us that pertains to the myBLDR Quoting Platform or these Terms. The United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
-
14.2. Investigations. You agree that myBLDR shall, as permitted by applicable law, have the right, without limitation and without any obligation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of the myBLDR Quoting Platform security or its information technology or other systems or networks, (ii) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in connection with any of the foregoing matters, (iii) prosecute violators of these Terms, and (iv) discontinue the myBLDR Quoting Platform, in whole or in part, or suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party.
-
14.3. Disputes. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to myBLDR Quoting Platform or these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send an email requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Legal@myparadigm.com. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules (available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879). An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages). You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or at a mutually agreed location. We and you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force.
-
14.4. No Jury Trial; Injunctive Relief. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. In the event Vendor is in breach, or threatens to breach any covenants of these Terms (including, without limitation, confidentiality), Vendor acknowledges and agrees that myBLDR will be greatly damaged, such breach(es) will be irreparable and difficult to quantity; therefore, myBLDR may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the United States for injunctive or other equitable relief to restrain such breach or threat of breach, without impairing, invalidating, negating or voiding myBLDR’s rights to relief in either law or equity.
-
-
ENTIRE AGREEMENT. These Terms constitute the exclusive and complete agreement between us and you. We will not be bound by any term, condition, obligation, or other provision which is different from or in addition to the provisions of these Terms or which may be in any order, receipt, acceptance, confirmation, correspondence, or other document, including informational forms we complete, sign or otherwise provide to you for your convenience.
-
TERM; TERMINATION. These Terms take effect when you create a Vendor Marketplace Account and continue in effect until you or we terminate your Account and each associated User Account or these Terms. We may terminate these Terms by providing notice to you. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, and with or without notice unless required by applicable law, to refuse service; remove or edit content; modify, suspend or discontinue the availability of any features, products, or services; terminate your right to use some or all of the myBLDR Quoting Platform services; terminate your Vendor Marketplace Account; and/or delete Offers. myBLDR may choose to charge, modify, or stop charging a fee for any service in its sole discretion.
