• Letting Us Know About Complaints
At Ranch View Press LLC, we hope that we can work out any complaints or differences that we may have with you respectfully and calmly. If you have any concerns about Ranch View Press LLC's services, please reach out to Ranch View Press LLC to let us know. If we cannot work out our differences together, then the following mandatory binding arbitration will apply to resolve the dispute.
• Mandatory Binding Arbitration
If any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to services provided under these Terms and Conditions cannot be amicably resolved, such controversy or claim will be determined by binding arbitration rather than in a court of law. Except that mandatory binding arbitration will not apply with respect to any claims relating to infringement or misuse of intellectual property or any legal dispute that falls into the jurisdiction of a small claim court and would be more efficiently and cost-effectively resolved in a small claims court. The binding arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and administered by the AAA in San Antonio, Texas. Arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA within one (1) year after the claim occurs or within one (1) year of the party asserting the claim and becoming reasonably aware of the act or omission giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one-year statute of limitations for asserting claims, claims must be asserted within the shortest period of time permitted by the applicable law. Except for attorney fees, all other costs associated with the arbitration will be shared equally between the parties, except where the AAA Rules provide otherwise.
• Prevailing Party
If an arbitrator or court of law determines a claim against Ranch View Press LLC to be frivolous or an opinion is found in our favor by the arbitrators or court, you agree to reimburse Ranch View Press LLC for all fees associated with the arbitration and/or court case, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration/court costs.
• Class Action Waiver
You agree to waive any right to participate in a class or representative action or proceeding and warrant that any claims brought against Ranch View Press LLC will be initiated only in your individual capacity. Any relief awarded by an arbitrator or court of law will not affect other users of Ranch View Press LLC’s services.
LAW AND JURISDICTION
These Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas without regard to conflict of law provisions. All disputes are to be resolved in the jurisdiction of Travis County, Texas except as otherwise stated above under our Dispute Resolution process.
TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION
