All contents of the Site are: Copyright www.heathceramics.com. All rights reserved.

These Terms, your use of the Site, and all matters arising out of or related thereto shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California without reference to their rules regarding conflicts of law. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California, USA, in all disputes arising out of or related to the use of the Site.

Any dispute, controversy or claim (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Site, these Terms, or regarding any legal relations arising out of or in connection therewith, and/or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration rules and procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California where the award shall be rendered. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both you and Heath shall have the right to institute an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunction or other equitable relief. Except for the fees of the legal advisors, which shall be borne by each respective party, all other expenses and costs of arbitration shall be borne by either or both parties as the arbitration tribunal may award.

You may not act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims many not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrators may decide only your individual Claims. The arbitrators may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this Section will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms. This Section will survive the termination of your relationship with Heath.

This section limits certain rights, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in jams rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. Other rights that you or Heath would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.

This Dispute Resolution provision will be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. \u00a71 et seq.

These Terms, including policies and information linked from or incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Heath with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements, and proposals with respect to the Site.

If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or condition in these Terms to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement.

You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without Heath’s express prior written consent.
