You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other Americanbreeder.com services, affiliate services, third-party content, or third-party software.
• Choice of Law and Forum. The TOS and the relationship between you and Americanbreeder.com shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
• Waiver of Jury Trial; Arbitration. You agree to submit any dispute arising out of this Agreement to binding Arbitration. Either party may submit any dispute arising out of the terms of this Agreement to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the Commercial Arbitration Rules. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties agree that any such controversy shall be submitted to three arbitrators selected pursuant to the provisions of the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules. This arbitration agreement applies regardless of the claims or causes of action alleged. The arbitrators’ award will be final and binding, but in no event can an award exceed the amount of direct compensatory damages actually incurred by the claiming party, and no party can recover for anything other than the benefit of the bargain under the agreement. The parties further agree that no punitive or exemplary damages can be considered or awarded by the arbitrators. The parties agree that the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules are modified as follows: the procedures set forth in Michigan’s Rules of Civil Procedure applicable in Michigan will govern the arbitration, including those relating to disclosures and listing of witnesses and exhibits, initiation and completion of discovery, and dispositive motions. The parties agree that any arbitration conducted in this case shall be held in Clinton County, Michigan.

In the event, it becomes necessary for any party to employ counsel to enforce any of the provisions of the TOS, or the breach thereof, then, in that event, the non-prevailing party agrees to pay to the other party all of such other party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees.
• Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Americanbreeder.com to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
• No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability. You agree that your Americanbreeder.com account is non-transferable and that any rights to your Americanbreeder.com member account, password, ID, or contents within your account terminate upon your death.

• Miscellaneous. If any provision in the TOS is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed to reflect the intent of the parties and the economics of the transaction, and the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions will not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby.
• Headings contained in the TOS are included for convenience only and form no part of the agreement between the parties. If a question of interpretation arises, the Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
