Choice of Law; Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial and Class 
Actions.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its choice of law principles. Any claim, controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including an actual or alleged breach thereof, (“Dispute”) shall first be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to arbitration under the applicable Rules of the AAA for final and binding arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered in the arbitration proceeding may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either party may commence mediation by providing to the AAA and to the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with the AAA and with one another in selecting a mediator from the AAA panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation in good faith, and that they will share equally in its costs, which costs will not include costs incurred by a party for representation by counsel at the mediation. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any AAA employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation. Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the Dispute submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. 

Arbitration shall proceed only on an individual basis. The parties waive all rights to have their Disputes heard or decided by a jury or in a bench trial and the right to pursue any class or collective claims against each other in court, arbitration, or any other proceeding. Each party shall only submit their own individual claims against the other and will not seek to represent the interests of any other person. The arbitrator shall have no jurisdiction or authority to compel any class or collective claim, or to consolidate different arbitration proceedings with or join any other party to an arbitration between the parties. The arbitrator, not any court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the enforceability or formation of this Agreement and the arbitrability of any Dispute between the parties, except for any dispute relating to the enforceability or scope of the class and collective action waiver, which shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The mediation and arbitration shall be held at a location in Manchester, New Hampshire. Neither party nor the arbitrator(s) may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration proceeding hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.  

 EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) IT HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS DECIDED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT IN CONSIDERATION OF, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

EACH PARTY FURTHER AGREES THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless agreed in writing otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with Your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

Limitation on Liability. 

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SPOFFORD PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PAYMENT FOR LOST BUSINESS, FUTURE PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENDITURES, OR INVESTMENTS MADE OR COMMITMENTS ENTERED INTO, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR NOT.
 
IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PROJECTIONS OR FORECASTS BY ANY OF THE SPOFFORD PARTIES BE BINDING AS COMMITMENTS OR PROMISES OR CONSTITUTE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS HEREUNDER, ALL OF WHICH ARE DISCLAIMED.  

Waiver. The failure of a party to exercise any of the rights granted to such party upon the occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth in this Agreement or its failure to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition of this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that or any of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time.

Paragraph Headings. Paragraph headings are for reference purposes only and are not intended to and shall not create substantive rights or obligations or be used to interpret meaning.

Survival of Terms. The warranties, representations, and other remedies afforded to each party to this Agreement and any other terms which must survive to give effect to their meaning, shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement.

Enforceability of Terms. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed stricken from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect unless the provision stricken is of the essence of this Agreement, and if any provision is inapplicable to any particular circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other circumstances.

Entire Agreement. These terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute the entire understanding with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior or inconsistent agreements, oral or otherwise. No waiver, modification, or amendment to this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Eric Spofford. Email or other electronic communications shall not constitute a signed writing for waiver, modification, or amendment purposes hereunder.
