​

The Site may contain links to other websites or to third party sellers of products and services. Such links are provided for your convenience only, and you access them at your own risk. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse, the content of any such sites. When you visit a linked site you should read the terms of use and privacy policy that govern that particular linked site.

We welcome links to the Site so long as: (i) the Site opens in a new browser window which displays the full version of a page of the Site; (ii) the link does not state or imply any sponsorship of the Site or service by us; and (iii) the Site is not displayed framed within or obfuscated by other content.

​

Indemnification

​

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate with us in defending such claims. This obligation will survive these Terms of Use and the termination of your use of the Site.

​

Jurisdictional Issues

​

The Site is operated on behalf of CLASP and may be accessed from various locations. If you access the Site from outside the United States, you are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent those local laws are applicable.

​

Applicable Law; No Waiver; Severability

​

These Terms of Use, and the relationship between you and us, will be governed by the laws of the United States and Washington, District of Columbia, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

​

Binding Individual Arbitration

​

Purpose. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us or any of our affiliates regarding the Site or any service thereon, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort, or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Section (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). If you have a Dispute with us that cannot be resolved through negotiation within the time frame described below, other than those matters listed in the Exclusions from Arbitration clause, you and the entity that you have a Dispute with agree to seek resolution of the Dispute only through arbitration, and not litigate any Dispute in court.

Exclusions from Arbitration. You and we and our affiliates agree that any claim filed by you or by us or our affiliate in small claims court are not subject to the arbitration terms contained in this Section.

​

Right to Opt Out within 30 Days. If you do not wish to be bound by the binding arbitration and class action waiver in this Section, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you accept this agreement. Your written notification must be mailed to CLASP, 1401 K Street NW, Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20005 and must include: (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) your account number, if you have one, and (4) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration.

​

Notice of Dispute. If you have a Dispute with us or any of our affiliates, you must send written notice to CLASP, 1401 K Street NW, Suite 1100, Washington, D.C. 20005 to give us the opportunity to resolve the Dispute. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Site, or these Terms of Use, must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action accrued or be permanently barred.

​

Informally Through Negotiation. You agree to negotiate resolution of the Dispute in good faith for no less than 60 days after you provide notice of the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days from receipt of notice, either party may pursue the claim in arbitration pursuant to the terms in this Section.

​

Class Action Waiver. Any dispute resolution proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action, unless both you and the entity with which you have a Dispute specifically agree to do so in writing following initiation of the arbitration.

​

Initiation of Arbitration / Selection of Arbitrator. The party initiating arbitration may initiate it with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com. The terms of this Section govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the arbitration organization selected by the parties. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

​

Location of Arbitration. You or the entity you have a Dispute with may initiate arbitration in either Washington, District of Columbia or the county in which you reside.

Severability; Continuation. If any clause within this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed and the remainder given full force and effect. This Section shall survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

​

Governing Jurisdiction

​

Any dispute not subject to arbitration and not initiated in small claims court will be litigated by either party only in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or, if such court would not have jurisdiction, then only in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.
