Legal Disputes
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY: EXCEPT AS THE TERMS OF USE OTHERWISE PROVIDE, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS TO TRY ANY CLAIM IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY AND TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY OR APPEALS, ALSO MIGHT BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
Agreement to Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
Any dispute, claim or controversy (that is not resolved informally as set forth below) between you and EZ Outdoor, its affiliates, suppliers and business partners, and their directors, officers, employees and agents and their successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “EZ Outdoor”) arising from or relating in any way to: (1) these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, and the relationships which result from these Terms of Use; (2) your use of any website owned or operated by EZ Outdoor; or (3) any Products or services sold or distributed by EZ Outdoor and its affiliated brands or through the Site or any website owned or operated by EZ Outdoor (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. Covered Disputes shall be interpreted broadly.
Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution
Before formally pursuing a Covered Dispute in arbitration, you agree to first send a detailed notice (“Notice”) to EZ Outdoor by email at xxxx@ezoutdoorcoverings.com. If EZ Outdoor has a dispute with you, EZ Outdoor agrees to first send a detailed Notice to your e-mail address on file with us. Your Notice must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name; (2) your address, telephone number, and email address; (3) information sufficient for EZ Outdoor to identify any transaction at issue (e.g., your order number, order confirmation communication, etc.); and (4) a detailed description of your dispute, the nature and basis of your claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief you are seeking with a calculation for it. You must personally sign this Notice. EZ Outdoor’s Notice will likewise set forth (1) information sufficient for you to identify any transaction at issue and (2) a detailed description of our dispute, the nature and basis of our claim(s), and the nature and basis of the relief we are seeking with a calculation for it. You and EZ Outdoor agree to negotiate in good faith about the dispute in an effort to swiftly resolve it to your satisfaction without the need for a formal proceeding. Should EZ Outdoor request a telephone conference with you in an effort to resolve your dispute as part of this informal process, you agree to personally participate (with your counsel if you are represented). This process should result in resolution of the dispute, but if for some reason it is not resolved within 60 days after receipt of a fully completed Notice and the parties have not agreed to extend this time period, you or EZ Outdoor may initiate an arbitration. Compliance with and completion of this mandatory informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any demand for arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in this process. Unless prohibited by applicable law, the arbitration administrator shall not accept or administer any demand for arbitration unless the claimant has certified in writing that they have fully complied with this process. This certification shall be personally signed by you or EZ Outdoor. A court shall have the authority to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations without first providing a fully completed Notice and participating in good faith in this informal dispute resolution process.
Initiating Arbitration and Arbitration Rules
Any arbitration between you and EZ Outdoor shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, "AAA Rules") in effect at the time any demand for arbitration is filed with AAA, as modified by this Legal Disputes Section. Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator in New York, New York.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send the demand for arbitration or arbitration notice form made available from the arbitration administrator and supplement that form with a detailed description of your claim, including with the information required for your Notice and the accompanying signed certification of compliance with the informal process referenced above (collectively referred to as “demand for arbitration”), to AAA. You must personally sign your demand for arbitration. You agree to also send EZ Outdoor a copy of your demand for arbitration at sales@ezoutdoorcoverings.com. If EZ Outdoor initiates arbitration, we will send a copy of our demand for arbitration to your email address on file with us.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, virtually, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another location reasonably convenient for you, or at a mutually agreed-upon location. EZ Outdoor reserves the right to request an in-person or videoconference hearing at any point within 14 days after its deadline to file any answer. After that time, EZ Outdoor retains the right to request an in-person or virtual hearing from the arbitrator, which the arbitrator may elect to require along with your participation (with your counsel if you are represented). Should a hearing take place in person, it shall take place consistent with the geographic parameters set forth above.
Arbitration Fees
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Upon a showing of financial hardship, EZ Outdoor will consider your request to promptly reimburse your portion of the arbitration fees provided for in the AAA Rules.
Arbitrator’s Powers
The arbitrator has the sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments by both parties concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between us.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator is bound by and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to address the essential findings and conclusions of law on which the award is based. The arbitration award shall be binding only between you and EZ Outdoor and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding involving a different party, provided that the arbitrator may consider rulings in other arbitrations involving different individuals. The arbitrator may award fees and costs as provided by the AAA Rules to the extent such fees and costs could be awarded in court or if the arbitrator determines that a claim, proceeding, or defense was frivolous or brought for harassment, for an improper purpose, or in bad faith.
Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and EZ Outdoor, its affiliates, suppliers and business partners, acknowledge and agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to the litigation of disputes in state or federal courts of general jurisdiction. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action/class arbitration or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and EZ Outdoor may not be plaintiffs or class members in any purported class, collective, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, or otherwise make or proceed with any claim on a collective or consolidated basis and may each bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity. As referenced above, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim. If a court determines that this class action waiver is not enforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief and all appeals from that decision have been exhausted (or the decision is otherwise final), then the parties agree that that particular claim or request for relief shall proceed in court but shall be stayed pending arbitration of the remaining claims.
Applicable Law
Any legal claims or lawsuits in conjunction or arising from this Site or its use are subject to the interpretation of the laws of the State of New York, and by using this Site you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the State of New York.
Time Limitation
You agree that any claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site must be filed within one (1) year after it arose or be permanently barred.

You agree that any termination of your access to the Site may be effected without prior notice and you acknowledge and agree that EZ Outdoor may bar any further access to the Site. Further, you agree that EZ Outdoor will not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of access to the Site.
Survival
The provisions of these Terms of Use regarding intellectual property rights, user-generated content, acceptable use, disclaimer of warranties, indemnity, limitation of liability, the legal dispute sections, together with any other rights and obligations which by their nature are reasonably intended to survive such termination, will survive any termination of your access to this Site.

EZ Outdoor periodically schedules system downtime for the Site for maintenance and other purposes. Unplanned system outages also may occur. You agree that EZ Outdoor has no responsibility and is not liable for: (a) the unavailability of any of the Site; (b) any loss of data, information or materials caused by such system outages; (c) the resultant delay, mis-delivery or non-delivery of data, information or materials caused by such system outages; or (d) any outages caused by any third parties, including without limitation any companies or servers hosting any of the Site, any Internet service providers or otherwise.
