11.   Governing Law; Arbitration; Class-Action

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU AND Weld.com TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

The laws of the State of Florida will govern this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. To the extent the parties are permitted under this Agreement to initiate litigation in a court, you agree that any action arising out of this Agreement or your use of the Services shall be brought in state or federal court in the Pinellas county, Florida, USA and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.

For any dispute you have with any Weld.com Party, you agree to first contact Weld.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with Weld.com informally. Unless resolved by mutual efforts of you and us, any disputes or claims that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement and for which either party shall seek equitable relief, all differences, disputes or claims arising in connection with this Agreement or any transaction or occurrence contemplated hereby shall be finally settled under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Largo, Florida, by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with such rules, except that no punitive damages may be awarded.  Weld.com and you together understand and agree that the decision in such arbitration shall be binding on both parties, that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and that a judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 

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. Either party may obtain injunctive relief (preliminary or permanent) and orders to compel arbitration or enforce arbitral awards in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to or use of the Services.  ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY IN ARBITRATION, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WELD.COM AGREES OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WELD.COM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. 

You may opt out of binding arbitration and this class action and jury trial waiver by notifying us in writing within 30 days of signing this Agreement unless a longer period is required by law. Your written notification must be mailed, emailed, or delivered to us at the address or email address listed at the top of this Agreement within 30 days of the date you sign this Agreement and must include your name, your address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration.
