Arbitration

Except if you opt-out or for disputes relating to your or our intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents) (“Excluded Disputes”), you agree that all disputes between you and Swing by Swing (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with us, including, without limitation, disputes related to these Terms of Service, your use of the Services and/or the App, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes and you and Swing by Swing hereby expressly waive trial by jury. As an alternative, you may bring your claim in your local “small claims” court, if permitted by that small claims court’s rules. You may bring claims only on your own behalf. Neither you nor Swing by Swing will participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by these Terms of Service. You also agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Swing by Swing is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then Swing by Swing, or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service.

You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Swing by Swing can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify Swing by Swing in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:

Swing by Swing Golf, Inc. ATTN: Arbitration 80 Statehouse Square #158 Hartford, CT 06123

You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your App account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your account.

Time Limitation on Claims

You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to the Services or Content must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. For any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms of Service, the Excluded Disputes or if you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, you agree to resolve any dispute you have with Swing by Swing exclusively in a state or federal court located in Hartford County, Connecticut, and to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Hartford County for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable during arbitration or by a court of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. No waiver of any of these Terms will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. 

Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and Content, superseding any prior agreements between you and us regarding the Services and Content. You will not assign the Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Swing by Swing. Any purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent of Swing by Swing will be null and void. Swing by Swing may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without your consent. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the parties nevertheless agree that such portion will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the remaining provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify the Terms. The failure of Swing by Swing to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Service. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
