13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
If a dispute arises between you and Strickland relating to these Terms or the Website, we both agree to first try to resolve it informally by contacting each other. You can contact us at legal@stricklandmotorco.com. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally within 60 days, we each agree to resolve it through binding arbitration rather than in court.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in King County, Washington, or another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND STRICKLAND AGREE THAT DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, CONSOLIDATED ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
Either party may bring a lawsuit in court for: (1) intellectual property disputes; (2) small claims court matters; or (3) to seek injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Website.
OPT-OUT: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to legal@stricklandmotorco.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 13, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in King County, Washington.
15. Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
16. General Provisions
Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements referenced herein (such as the Reservation Agreement), constitute the entire agreement between you and Strickland regarding the Website.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
Force Majeure: We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, supply chain disruptions, labor disputes, or government actions.
