26.1. You acknowledge and agree that it would be difficult to ascertain the exact amount of damages that The Paper Mill Store would suffer as the result of the theft or misappropriation of Website graphics or images, especially if those graphics or images are exploited for commercial use, whether in connection with the sale of paper goods or otherwise, on a website or any other digital medium. Therefore, you agree that, in the event you steal, copy without authorization, or otherwise misappropriate Website graphics or images, The Paper Mill Store will be entitled to recover from you liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000.00 per graphic or image that is stolen, copied without authorization, or otherwise misappropriated. You agree that this amount represents a reasonable estimate of the damage that The Paper Mill Store would suffer.

26.2. Any action by The Paper Mill Store to enforce this section shall not be deemed a waiver of The Paper Mill Store's right to pursue, at The Paper Mill Store's sole discretion, any and all other remedies available to The Paper Mill Store under this Agreement or by law, including but not limited to, those remedies identified in Section 30.8 (Injunctive Relief).

 

27. Dispute Resolution.

27.1. Binding Arbitration.

  • 27.1.1. If you and The Paper Mill Store cannot resolve a Claim through negotiations, either party may elect to have the Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s).
  • 27.1.2. You hereby acknowledge that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial or to participate in a class action.
  • 27.1.3. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.
  • 27.1.4. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Except as otherwise provided for herein, The Paper Mill Store will pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then you will pay the arbitrator fees, in addition to any amount that exceeds the filing fees. In that case, you also hereby agree to reimburse The Paper Mill Store for all payments disbursed that are your obligation to reimburse under the AAA Rules. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to resolve, except that issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to resolve. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing, but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. The Paper Mill Store may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall award costs to the prevailing party (including, without limitation, fees, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees) at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party, within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

27.2. Restrictions Against Joinder of Claims.

  • 27.2.1. You and The Paper Mill Store agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. You and The Paper Mill Store hereby agree that each may only bring claims against the other in your or The Paper Mill Store's individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
  • 27.2.2. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, the Claim will still be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon the election of either party, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). In addition: (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (2) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (3) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.

27.3. Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief. This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or The Paper Mill Store from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or The Paper Mill Store from applying to a Court of Competent Jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. "Court of Competent Jurisdiction" means any federal or state court: (1) that has jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (2) that is located in the State of Wisconsin.

27.4. Venue for any Judicial Proceeding.

  • 27.4.1. This Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement's interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in the State of Wisconsin, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without regard to its conflict of law principles. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.
  • 27.4.2. The proper venue for any judicial action arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement will be the state and federal courts located in or nearest to Madison, Wisconsin. The parties hereby stipulate to, and agree to waive any objection to, the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and further expressly submit to extraterritorial service of process.
