13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by calling our Customer Care Center at (888) 674-5952. In the unlikely event that the SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES Customer Care Center is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction (or if SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than a court does, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.While in some instances, upfront costs to file an arbitration claim may exceed similar costs to bring a case in court, for any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $75,000, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES will pay all costs of the arbitration. Moreover, in arbitration you may recover attorney’s fees from SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES to the same extent or more as you would in court.

Under certain circumstances (as explained below), SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES will pay you more than the amount of the arbitrator’s award and will pay your attorney (if any) his or her reasonable attorney’s fees if the arbitrator awards you an amount greater than what SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES offered you to settle the dispute.

You may speak with independent counsel before using this Site or completing any purchase.

Arbitration Agreement:

(a) SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us before a single arbitrator. The types of disputes and claims we agree to arbitrate are intended to be broadly interpreted. It applies, without limitation, to:

  • claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory;
  • claims that arose before these or any prior Terms (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and
  • claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

For the purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, references to “SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES,” “you,” and “us” include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or products under these Terms or any prior agreements between us.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration agreement does not preclude your bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These Terms evidence a transaction or website use in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send, by U.S. certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party. A Notice to SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES should be addressed to: Notice of Dispute, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES, LLC, 1101 W. Newton, Versailles, MO 65084 (the “Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES is entitled.

Installment Plan.

(a) Qualification. The SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES Installment Plan (the “Installment Plan”) is available as a purchase option for certain SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES products priced at $200 or more.

(b) Billing. By opting into the Installment Plan, I am agreeing to make an initial payment (the “Initial Installment Payment”) immediately when I place my order or change my payment plan. I hereby authorize SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES to charge my credit card for additional installments on approximately, but not before, the first and second month anniversaries (each an “Installment Billing Date”) of the Initial Installment Payment. If my purchase date is on the 29th through 31st day of any month, an Installment Billing Date for months with fewer days will fall on the last day of the month. Each payment will be of the same amount, except that if the total purchase price does not divide evenly into three parts, my final installment payment will include all outstanding amounts. I understand that I may pay my outstanding balance at any time without incurring additional charges.

(c) Default. If my credit card is declined, I agree that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may make up to five attempts to bill that card over a 30 day period. If I remain in default on the second payment when the third payment is due, I authorize SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES to charge both the second and third payment amounts to my credit card. If three attempts to charge my card are unsuccessful and my account balance remains unpaid, I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may report information about my account to credit bureaus, and that late payments, missed payments, and other defaults may be reflected in my credit report. I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may restrict my ability to purchase other SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES products if I am delinquent on any payment. I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may make efforts to collect a delinquent payment. I understand that if I believe SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES has reported inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency, I may call the SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES Customer Care Center at (888) 674-5952 and SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES will investigate the matter. I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may accept late or partial payments, as well as payments that reflect “paid in full” or other restrictive endorsements, without limiting any of its rights under these Terms of Service.

(e) Notice of Automatic Billing. SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may send a reminder email to the email address of record for my account before my Installment Billing Dates. I acknowledge and agree that this notice is provided as a courtesy only, and SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES is not obligated or required to provide such notice. I acknowledge and agree that (i) my failure to read, (ii) my inability to receive, or (iii) the failure of SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES to send the email does not create any liability on the part of SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES or any third-party service provider.

(f) Disputed Charges. I understand that if I dispute a charge to my credit card, I should call the SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES Customer Care Center immediately at (888) 674-5952 and SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES will investigate the matter.

(g) Account Information. I agree to notify SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES immediately of any changes to my credit card number, its expiration date, and/or my billing address, or if my credit card expires or is cancelled for any reason. I understand that if my failure to provide SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES with accurate, complete, and current information results in delinquent payments, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may restrict my ability to purchase other SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES products, report information about this delinquency to credit bureaus, and/or pursue further collection efforts.

(h) Subscription Products. For subscription products offering the Installment Plan, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES reserves the right to terminate access to subscription benefits 31 days after a missed installment payment.

Delivery. I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES uses a variety of methods to deliver finished products. For products delivered via physical shipment, I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES uses a variety of carriers for each shipping option and will choose a delivery method for the shipping option and address I designate. If I select overnight delivery or two-day delivery, I agree that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may use air or ground shipping as necessary to get my items to me within the promised time frame. The shipping fee indicated does not necessarily represent the actual amount paid by SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES to the carrier chosen for the delivery of my order. It may include, in addition to the fees paid to the carrier, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES or third party handling and processing fees. For products delivered electronically, I understand that I will be notified via email when my product is complete and available for download. I understand that I may access my product by logging in to My Account.

21. Access to World Wide Web; Internet Delays. To use SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES services, I must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. I am responsible for providing all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and Internet access. Access to certain SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES services may be limited or delayed based on problems inherent in the use of Internet and electronic communications. I understand that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES is not responsible for delays, delivery failures, or other damage resulting from such problems.

22. Force Majeure. SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES shall not be considered in breach of or default under these Terms of Service or any contract with me, and shall not be liable to me for any cessation, interruption, or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder by reason of earthquake, flood, fire, storm, lightning, drought, landslide, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, tornado, natural disaster, act of God or the public enemy, epidemic, famine or plague, action of a court or public authority, change in law, explosion, war, terrorism, armed conflict, labor strike, lockout, boycott or similar event beyond our reasonable control, whether foreseen or unforeseen (each a “Force Majeure Event”). If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than 60 days in the aggregate, SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES may immediately terminate these Terms of Service and shall have no liability to me for or as a result of any such termination.

23. Right to refuse. I acknowledge that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES reserves the right to refuse service to anyone.

24. I acknowledge that SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES is not a registered or bonded legal document assistant under Missouri Business and Profession Code, sections 6400 et seq. SAFE-HARBOR-ASSOCIATES.com, Inc. is located at 1101 W. Newton, Versailles, MO 65084.

25. I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to view sample templates of SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES documents and may call SAFE HARBOR ASSOCIATES Customer Care at (888) 674-5952 with questions or for assistance locating sample templates.

26. I understand that these terms affect my legal rights and obligations. If I do not agree to be bound by all of these terms, I will not use this service. By proceeding with my purchase, I agree to these Terms of Service.
