Visitors may post reviews, comments, and other content to the Site or send communications and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam." We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit such content, but We do not regularly review posted content.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The use of the Site and the Services is at your own risk and is provided "as is."

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCHARFFEN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, STATUTORY AND OTHERWISE, AS TO THE WEBSITE AND THE CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

DISPUTES
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site or the Services 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 and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms.

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 as a court would.

Either party may initiate arbitration by providing written notice to the other party. 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. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Scharffen will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 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.

Both parties 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 both parties waive any right to a jury trial. Both parties also agree that either party may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

LAW THAT APPLIES; INTERPRETATION AND MODIFICATION
These Terms are governed by the substantive laws of the State of Oregon, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. If any provision of these Terms are found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. We may modify these Terms, including our Privacy Policy, at any time and although we will generally try and provide at least 30 days’ advance notice of the effective date of any material modification, if we do not provide advance notice, the modification will take effect when we post the change on the Site. Accordingly, we urge you to check back frequently so that you are aware of the terms and conditions that apply to you.
You expressly agree and personally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of Wisconsin to adjudicate and resolve any dispute with us, our affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, contractors, officers, directors, telecommunication providers and Content providers or in any other way relating to the Site, including, Content or user Content. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO CLAIM THAT THE STATE OF WISCONSIN IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO HEAR CLAIMS AND DISPUTES.
