Performance and Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics ("Analytics") is Google's free web analytics tool that helps us understand how our visitors engage with our Website. Analytics collects information anonymously and, much like examining footprints in the sand, it reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track visitor interactions. These cookies are used to store information, such as what time the current visit occurred, whether the visitor has been to the site before, and what site referred the visitor to the web page. Google Analytics customers can view a variety of reports about how visitors interact with their website to improve their Website and how people find it. A different set of cookies is used for each Website, and visitors are not tracked across multiple sites. Analytics customers are obliged to notify users of their use of analytics software. To disable this type of cookie, some browsers will indicate when a cookie is being sent and allow you to decline cookies on a case-by-case basis. In addition to declining cookies, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on in your browser, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting information about your Website visits. You can also opt-out by clicking here.
Functionality Cookies: they remember your choices, such as language options or your current region. These cookies help to make your visit more personal and are deleted automatically when you close your browser, or the session expires.
You can block or disable cookies on your device at any time by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. You can also delete the cookies that are stored on your device. However, blocking, disabling, or deleting cookies may limit your ability to view all the Company Website pages or use online services that require registration. You may opt out of Google's cookies by visiting their Ad Settings page. You may also opt-out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Any ambiguities in interpreting these Terms of Service shall not be construed against the drafting party.
SECTION GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed per the laws of New York. The parties to these Terms of Service agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute between the parties arising out of these Terms of Service or on the subject matter of these Terms of Service will be New York.
SECTION DISPUTE RESOLUTION
In the event of any claims, disputes, or other controversies arising out of, or relating to, these Terms of Service, the use of this website or information obtained through this website, or any other claims, disputes, or controversies arising out of or relating to this website, or any other website owned, operated, licensed or controlled by us (the “Dispute” and together with the “Disputes”), you agree to resolve any Dispute by submitting the Dispute to JAMS through its offices located in Dallas, Texas (“ADR Firm”) (www.jamsadr.com/james-Dallas), or its successor, for mediation. Any party to the Dispute may commence mediation by providing to ADR Firm and the other parties a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with ADR Firm and one another in selecting a mediator from ADR Firm’s panel of neutrals and scheduling the mediation proceedings promptly, not later than thirty (30) days after such request for mediation. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys, and by the mediator or any ADR Firm employees, are confidential, privileged, and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.
Suppose the Dispute is not resolved through mediation. In that case, it shall be submitted to ADR Firm, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration according to the then-current form of JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Rules”) before one arbitrator, selected by the agreement of the parties and, failing such agreement within thirty (30) days of the Dispute being submitted for arbitration, by ADR Firm per the Rules. All hearings shall be held in the State of Texas. If ADR Firm ceases to exist and has no successor, then the parties shall submit the Dispute to an established alternative dispute resolution entity in Texas. Any party may initiate arbitration concerning the Disputes submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration following the initial mediation session or forty-five (45) days after the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first. The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, any arbitration initiated under this clause shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediator shall be disqualified from serving as arbitrator in the case. Any court of competent jurisdiction may enforce the provisions of this clause, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including attorney fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.
THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE MEANS YOU ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
No party to any mediation or arbitration under this clause shall be required to participate in any mediation or arbitration proceeding that involves more than one adverse party. The mediation or arbitration of any Dispute shall not be joined or consolidated with the mediation or arbitration of any other Dispute, even if such other Dispute relates to, arises out of, or raises similar factual or legal claims.
Failure to insist on strict performance of any of these Terms of Service will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by us of any right under these Terms of Service will be deemed either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any additional time. To the extent allowed by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of the website must be brought within two (2) years from the date such claim or action arose or accrued. If any part of these Terms of Service is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable. It will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms of Service (including our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to this subject matter. Notwithstanding the preceding, any additional terms and conditions on this site will govern the items they pertain to. We may revise these Terms of Service by updating this posting.
