THE AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY SHOPDOT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AT ANY TIME AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 15.6 (AGREEMENT UPDATES).

1. THE SERVICE.  The Service enables (i) entities to offer and sell their merchandise and other products (each such entity, a “Supplier” and collectively, “Suppliers”) through the brick and mortar and online stores of third party retailers (each, a “Retailer” and collectively, “Retailers”); and (ii) you to purchase Products from Suppliers through such Retailers.  ShopDot, as an online service provider, only operates the Service and does not own, sell, provide, or deliver the Products listed on the Service, so the actual contract for sale of a Product is directly between you and the Supplier, and fulfilled by the Supplier.  While we may, in our discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, we have no control over and do not guarantee the existence, quality, safety or legality of the Products offered on the Service; the truth or accuracy of any listings; the ability of Retailers to sell Products; the ability of Suppliers to fulfill orders for Products; or that a Retailer or Supplier will accept a return.  While we may provide pricing and guidance on the Service, such information is solely informational.  We do not take part in the interaction between users of the Service.
   1. Right to Access and Use the Service.  Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, ShopDot grants you a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to access and use the Service solely for your own purposes.  Unless subject to a separate license agreement between you and ShopDot, your right to access and use the Service, in whole or in part, is subject to this Agreement.  The Service and the information and content available on the Service are protected by applicable intellectual property (including copyright) laws.  
   2. Supplemental Terms.  Your use of, and participation in, certain features and functionality of the Service may be subject to additional terms (“Supplemental Terms”).  Such Supplemental Terms will either be set forth in the applicable supplemental Service or will be presented to you for your acceptance when you sign up to use the supplemental Service.  If these Terms of Use are inconsistent with the Supplemental Terms, then the Supplemental Terms control with respect to such supplemental Service. 
   3. Updates.  You understand that the Service is evolving.  As a result, you acknowledge and agree that ShopDot may update the Service with or without notifying you.  You may need to update third-party software from time to time in order to continue to use the Service.  Any future release, update or other addition to the Service shall be subject to this Agreement.

2. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONTENT.
   1. Types of Content.  You acknowledge that any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through the Service (collectively, “Content”), is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated.   
   2. Storage.  ShopDot has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content; the failure to store, transmit, or receive transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of the Service.    
3. OWNERSHIP.
   1.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE.
   1. Third-Party Websites, Applications and Ads.  The Service may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”), applications (“Third-Party Applications”) and advertisements for third parties (“Third-Party Ads”) (collectively, the “Third-Party Services”).  When you click on a link to a Third-Party Service, we will not warn you that you have left the Service and you become subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination.  Such Third-Party Services are not under the control of ShopDot.  ShopDot is not responsible for any Third-Party Services.  ShopDot provides these Third-Party Services only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Services, or any product or service provided in connection therewith.  You use all links in Third-Party Services at your own risk.  When you leave our Service, this Agreement and our policies no longer govern.  You should review applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third-Party Services, and make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party. 
6. PAYMENT AND PURCHASE TERMS.
   1. Payment.  You acknowledge and understand that you contract directly with Suppliers for the purchase of Products on the Service.  You are obligated to make payment upon purchase of an item through the Service, including for any applicable shipping fee, taxes, applicable third-party fees, and additional fees listed. You are responsible for all charges incurred under your Account, whether made by you or another person using your Account. Unless otherwise specified herein, ShopDot is not a party to any such sales.  ShopDot facilitates Supplier’s facilitation of these sales through hosting the Service on behalf of the Supplier and by providing methods to enable payments, as well as related services, for  purchases of items on behalf of Suppliers as described in this Agreement.  All payments must be made through the Service. ShopDot or its Third-Party Service Provider (defined below) will charge the authorized payment method you specify at the time of purchase or as otherwise specified by you in your Account. You may make payment for a purchase through the Retailer’s store via eligible payment methods (e.g., ACH, debit card, credit card, Paypal, digital wallet), which is subject to change from time to time in the sole discretion of ShopDot and/or the Third-Party Service Provider. You understand and agree that Company itself does not process the transmission of funds and thus it is not a separate and discrete service that Company provides in addition to the Platform. You understand and agree that ShopDot itself does not process the transmission of funds and thus it is not a separate and discrete service that ShopDot provides in addition to the Service. You further agree to provide accurate and complete information in order for ShopDot and  its Third-Party Service Provider to receive, process, and disburse payments made through the Platform.
   2. Third-Party Service Provider.  The ShopDot uses [Priority Technologies Holdings and its affiliates (“Priority”)] as its third-party service provider for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (“Third-Party Service Provider”).  If you make a purchase through a Retailer using the Service, you will be required to provide your payment details and any additional information required to complete your order directly to our Third-Party Service Provider.  [You agree to be bound by [our Third-Party Service Provider’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible here and its Terms of Service (currently accessible here)] and hereby consent and authorize ShopDot and [Priority] to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Third-Party Service Provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.]  Please note that online payment transactions may be subject to validation checks by our Third-Party Service Provider and your card issuer, and we are not responsible if your card issuer declines to authorize payment for any reason.    
   3. Returns and Exchanges.  All sales of Products are subject to the corresponding Supplier’s return and exchange policies, as shared with you at the point of sale, as well as any additional terms and conditions provided by Retailer.  Suppliers, and not ShopDot, are solely responsible for addressing returns or exchanges of any Products purchased through the Service.  Title and risk of loss of each shipment of Products will pass to you upon delivery to the address provided by you to ShopDot and Supplier through Retailer.
   4. Taxes and Import Duties.  The amounts paid for Products purchased through the Service will include any applicable Sales Tax (defined below) that may be due in connection with such purchase.  When you order Products for overseas delivery, you may be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied when the package with the Products arrives at the destination that you specified.  Any charges for customs clearance have to be borne by you, as ShopDot has no control over such charges and cannot foresee the amount charged (if any).  Since customs policies vary from country to country, you should contact the customs office in the country where you have us ship your purchase to get more information.  As between ShopDot and you, you are considered the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of such country.  For purposes of this section, “Sales Tax” means any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
7. INDEMNIFICATION.  You shall indemnify and hold ShopDot, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, suppliers, and licensors (each, a “ShopDot Party” and collectively, the “ShopDot Parties”) harmless from any losses, costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of any and all of the following: (i) your use of, or inability to use, the Service; (ii) your violation of this Agreement; (iii) your violation of any rights of another party, including any user; or (iv) your violation of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.  ShopDot reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with ShopDot in asserting any available defenses.  This provision does not require you to indemnify any of the ShopDot Parties for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, or suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with the Service provided hereunder.  You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, this Agreement and/or your access to the Service. 
8. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES.
   1. As Is.  YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS.  THE SHOPDOT PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICE.  This Section 9 (Disclaimer of Warranties) does not affect in any way the return policies of Suppliers.

      2. ANY CONTENT DOWNLOADED FROM OR OTHERWISE ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICE IS ACCESSED AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND/OR ANY DEVICE YOU USE TO ACCESS THE SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER LOSS THAT RESULTS FROM ACCESSING SUCH CONTENT.
      3. FROM TIME TO TIME, SHOPDOT MAY OFFER NEW “BETA” FEATURES OR TOOLS WITH WHICH ITS USERS MAY EXPERIMENT.  SUCH FEATURES OR TOOLS ARE OFFERED SOLELY FOR EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND MAY BE MODIFIED OR DISCONTINUED AT SHOPDOT’S SOLE DISCRETION.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION APPLY WITH FULL FORCE TO SUCH FEATURES OR TOOLS.
   2. No Liability for Conduct of Third Parties.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF YOUR COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES ON THE SERVICE.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SHOPDOT PARTIES ARE NOT LIABLE, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO SEEK TO HOLD THE SHOPDOT PARTIES LIABLE, FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES, AND THAT THE RISK OF INJURY FROM SUCH THIRD PARTIES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SHOPDOT DOES NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO VERIFY THE STATEMENTS OF USERS.  SHOPDOT MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE GOODS OR SERVICE PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS.  SHOPDOT MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OF ANY SUCH GOODS OR SERVICE, OR THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE.  SHOPDOT IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE ACTUAL TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND RETAILERS.  WHILE WE MAY HELP FACILITATE THE RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMS, WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AND DO NOT GUARANTEE THE QUALITY, SAFETY OR LEGALITY OF ITEMS ADVERTISED, THE TRUTH OR ACCURACY OF USERS’ CONTENT OR LISTINGS, THE ABILITY OF RETAILERS TO SELL PRODUCTS; THE ABILITY OF SUPPLIERS TO FULFILL ORDERS FOR PRODUCTS; OR THAT A RETAILER OR SUPPLIER WILL ACCEPT A RETURN.

   2.

   5. Basis of the Bargain.  THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN SHOPDOT AND YOU.
10. PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT INFRINGEMENT.  It is ShopDot’s policy to terminate membership privileges of any user who repeatedly infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights upon prompt notification to ShopDot by the respective intellectual property owner or their legal agent.  Without limiting the foregoing, if you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Service in a way that constitutes intellectual property rights infringement, please provide our designated intellectual property agent with the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work, trademark, or other intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed; (iii) a description of the location on the Service of the material that you claim is infringing; (iv) your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner, its agent or the law; and (vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right owner’s behalf.  Contact information for ShopDot’s designated agent for notice of claims of infringement is as follows: ShopDot Copyright Agent.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION.
    1. Term.  The term of this Agreement commences on the date when you accept this Agreement (as described in the preamble above), and continues in full force and effect while you use the Service, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement.
    2. Termination of Service by ShopDot.  ShopDot reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or your access to the Service at any time without cause upon notice to you.  You agree that all terminations for cause are made in ShopDot’s sole discretion and that ShopDot shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your Account.
    3. Termination by You.  If you want to terminate this Agreement, you may do so by (i) notifying ShopDot at any time and (ii) closing your Account for the Service.  Your notice should be sent, in writing, to ShopDot’s address set forth below.  
    4. Effect of Termination.  Upon termination of the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof, your right to use the Service or the applicable feature or functionality thereof will automatically terminate.  If we terminate your Account for cause, we may also bar your further use or access to the Service.  ShopDot will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination.  All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will survive termination of Service, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. 
    5. No Subsequent Registration.  If this Agreement is terminated for cause by ShopDot or if your Account or ability to access the Service is discontinued by ShopDot due to your violation of any portion of this Agreement or for conduct otherwise deemed inappropriate, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Service through use of a different member name or otherwise.
12. INTERNATIONAL USERS.  The Service may be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to services and Content that are not available in your country.  These references do not imply that ShopDot intends to announce such service or Content in your country.  The Service is controlled and offered by ShopDot from its facilities in the United States of America.  ShopDot makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations.  Those who access or use the Service from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.
13. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.  Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It is part of your contract with ShopDot and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
    1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and ShopDot agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service or this Agreement and prior versions of this Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between you and us before the effective date of this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (i) you and ShopDot may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (ii) you or ShopDot may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of this Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.
    2. Informal Dispute Resolution.  There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and ShopDot.  If that occurs, ShopDot is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution.  You and ShopDot agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome (“Informal Dispute Resolution”).  You and ShopDot therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”).  If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Notice to ShopDot that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [info@shopdotpet.wpenginepowered.com] or regular mail to our offices located at [6900 Kestrel Drive, Missoula, Montana 59808].  The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your Account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.  In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute.  Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration.  The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

3. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND SHOPDOT HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and ShopDot are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 14.1 (Applicability of Arbitration Agreement).  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. 
4. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND SHOPDOT AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 14.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS.  ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party’s individual claim.  Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under Section 14.9 (Batch Arbitration).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and ShopDot agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware.  All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court.  This section does not prevent you or ShopDot from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
5. Rules and Forum.  This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings.  If the Informal Dispute Resolution process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and ShopDot agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.  The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement.  The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”).  The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable Account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address.  Such counsel must also sign the Request.  By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Unless you and ShopDot otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in Section 14.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.  Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.  If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.

You and ShopDot agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and shall be subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

6. Arbitrator.  The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Delaware and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators.  If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under Section 14.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.
7. Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to Section 14.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief), including any claim that all or part of Section 14.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief) is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such Section 14.4 (Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief) has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in Section 14.9 (Batch Arbitration), all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in Section 14.9 (Batch Arbitration).  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute.  The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.  Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
8. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).  If you or ShopDot need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration.  The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
9. Batch Arbitration.  To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and ShopDot agree that in the event that there are one-hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against ShopDot by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.  To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”).  In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly.  The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by ShopDot.

You and ShopDot agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

10. 30-Day Right to Opt Out.  You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [info@shopdotpet.wpenginepowered.com], within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, the email address associated with your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.  If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.  Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
11. Invalidity, Expiration.  Except as provided in Section 14.4 (Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  You further agree that any Dispute that you have with ShopDot as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred.  Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
12. Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if ShopDot makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, we will notify you.  Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change become effective by writing to ShopDot at [info@shopdotpet.wpenginepowered.com], your continued use of the Service, including the acceptance of products and services offered on the Service following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes.  Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of this Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration.  If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Service, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Service or this Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement) remain in full force and effect.  ShopDot will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of this Agreement.
