DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to use of the Website, the Assured Systems, Information or Content, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its then-prevailing rules. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Fairfax County, Virginia. In arriving at the award, the arbitrator shall make every effort to find a solution to the dispute in the provisions of these Terms of Use and give full effect to all parts hereof.
However, if a solution cannot be found in the provisions of these Terms of Use, the arbitrator shall apply the law of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of You and Assured; if You and Assured cannot agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint an arbitrator as soon as possible, but within thirty (30) days, in accordance with the then-prevailing rules. The arbitrator is not authorized to act as amiable compositeur but shall rule in accordance with the applicable substantive law. The arbitrator shall streamline the procedures while ensuring fairness in order to quickly and cost-effectively resolve the dispute. The award shall be in writing. The arbitrator may award costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party in accordance with the arbitrator’s judgment of justice and fair play.
CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS
These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and the laws of the United States of America.
Except as expressly provided in a separate Content between You and Assured, these Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between You and Us with respect to the use of the Website, the Assured Systems and any software or service, information and content contained therein, and supersede all prior communications, conversations and agreements concerning the matters contained herein.
Any waiver by Us of any provision of these Terms of Use must be in writing and signed by our authorized representative. In all events, Our failure to require Your performance of any obligation under these Terms of Use will not affect our right subsequently to require performance of that obligation.
If any provision of these Terms of Use or the application of any provision to anyone or in any circumstance(s) is found by a court with proper authority to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the court will have the power, and is directed, to substitute for or limit the relevant provision(s) to as closely as possible to effectuate the original intent of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) and these Terms of Use in total and to enforce the substituted provision(s) or, if substitution or limitation is not possible, to deem the relevant provision(s) to be deleted entirely if the court finds that deletion does not materially alter the overall intent and effect of these Terms of Use. Subject to the foregoing, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any one or more of the provisions of these Terms of Use will not affect the validity of any other provision of these Terms of Use.
