GOVERNING LAW

By using the Services, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act of the United States, applicable United States federal law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Service and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us. If you reside outside the U.S., and to the extent applicable law does not allow the aforementioned, then the applicable laws of the country in which you reside will govern these Terms of Service, and any disputes will be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction of the country in which you reside.

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND US HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Services, or to any products or services sold or distributed by us will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act of the United States and U.S. federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Service as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the following: Casa Carmen Wines, 8355 Broad Neck Rd, Chestertown, MD 21620, Attn: Owner. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

​

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Casa Carmen Wines and you agree that Casa Carmen Wines and you will resolve any disputes, claims or controversies on an individual basis, and that any claims brought under these Terms of Service in connection with the Sites will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Casa Carmen Wines and you further agree that Casa Carmen Wines and you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Terms of Service or in connection with the Sites.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in Baltimore, Maryland.

The terms of this provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any parent or affiliated company of Casa Carmen Wines to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site.

 

U.S. EXPORT CONTROLS

Software from the Site (the "Software") is further subject to United States export controls. No Software may be downloaded from the Site or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department's Table of Deny Orders. By downloading or using the Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

 

MODIFICATIONS, ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AND SEVERABILITY

We reserve the right to modify, limit or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of the Services, with or without notice to you, at any time. Please note, your continued use of the Services will be deemed as acceptance of the Terms of Service as modified.

These Terms of Service supersede all prior agreements, oral or written, and constitute the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter of these Terms of Service. However, you acknowledge that other aspects of your use of the Services may be subject to separate agreements with us, including, for example, contest and sweepstakes or gift card rules.

If any provision of these Terms of Service shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
